What is blood?
- Blood is the suspension of cells in a fluid.
- It is transported around the body via the heart.
- Transport vehicle for gases, nutrients, waste products, cells and hormones
What is the fluid component of the blood?
Plasma
3 Cellular Components of the blood.
- RBCs (Erythrocytes)
- WBCs (leucocytes)
- Platelets (Thrombocytes)
Blood is commonly stained by which stains ?
Giemsa and Wright stains.
I’m having an affinity for basic dye, The stain i like is methylene Blue because its makes me deep blue… Who I am?
Basophilia
Use neutral dyes for me, I will be turned salmon pink/ lilac… Who I am?
Neutrophilia
Stain me using Eosin, because I have an affinity for acidic dyes, I will turned pink/red… One thing about i have two names. Name my names.
Eosinophilia
Acidophilia
Azurophilia is having an affinity for acidic dye and stains lysosomes purple. True or False
False
because have an affinity for azure dyes.
Blood cells that contain hemoglobin
Erythrocytes
Blood cells that transport Oxygen and Carbon dioxide and they are immotile
Erythrocytes
What is meant by Haematocrit
Means what part of the blood is made by RBCs .
Fraction of blood (by volume) occupied by erythrocytes
Range of Haematocrit
0.35 - 0.50
Name the blood cells that form parts of the body’s defense and immune system.
Leucocytes
They act mainly in blood tissues and they are in transit or reserve when in blood.
Name this blood cells.
Leucocytes.
WBCs are classified into 2 groups and each group has WBCs that falls under it. Name the 2 groups and list WBCs under them.
- Granulocytes: BEN
Neutrophils, Eosinophils, and Basophils - Mononuclear Leucocytes :
Monocytes and Lymphocytes
Granulocytes have a single nucleus- segmented into lobes and are End cells.
True or false
True
The granulocytes that enter interstitial mucosa is?
Eosinophils
Why Eosinophils enter interstitial mucosa?
Enter tissues in response to specific signals and inflammation
Granulocytes do not enter tissues in any number (just circulate), except which granulocyte?
Eosinophils
- They are nonlobulated nucleus
- Routinely Enter tissues
Name these WBCs.
Mononuclear Leucocytes.
Differentiates between Monocytes and Leucocytes.
Monocytes can mature into macrophages and they can phagocyte the pathogens (highly phagocytic) . Ingest microorganisms and cell debris.
Leucocytes Facilitate and regulate inflammation, Directed toward specific antigens (foreign agents), Provide a targeted response, Capable of proliferation.
They prevent bleeding. Name those WBCs.
Thrombocytes.
Explain how the thrombocytes work.
Bind to and coat damaged vessel walls
Plug/Patch small defects in vessel walls
Help activate blood-clotting cascade. Produce signals to recruit adherence of additional platelets.
