Functions of Blood ?
- Delivers Oxygen, Hormones, Nutrients, and Minerals. - Removes waste products & transports them to the lungs kidneys and skin for excretion. - Hemostasis - Primary carrier of immunity
The average adult Total Blood Volume
4-6 L which accounts for 7% of TBW.
Blood is composed of
– Plasma = 55%
– Formed Elements = 45%
Plasma is clear straw colored, viscous, and composed of
• 90% water • 10% solids - Clotting Proteins - Complement Proteins - Albumin - Immunoglobulins - Carbohydrates: Glucose - Electrolytes: Na+, K+, ect.
Formed Elements found in blood account for 45% of the composition of blood, what are they?
- RBC (Erythrocytes)
- WBC (Leukocytes)
- Platelets (Thrombocytes)
Organelles within the cell?
- Nucleus
- Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
- Mitochondria
- Golgi Complex
- Ribosomes
Formed elements of the blood are cells with a very specific function. What are the elements that do NOT contain a nucleus?
• RBC and Platelets
Formed elements of the blood are cells with a very specific function. What are the elements that DO contain a nucleus?

WBC depends upon ___ ___ to perform
its specialized function
protein synthesis
Blood Cell Production in the 3rd WEEK begins in ?
Yolk sac
Blood Cell Production in the 3rd MONTH begins in ?
Liver
Spleen
Thymus
Blood Cell Production in the 4th MONTH begins in ?
Bone Marrow
4115
The production of mature blood cells from primitive cells in the
bone marrow called?
Stem Cells
Hormonally controlled
Hematopoietic Growth Factors are also know as ?
cytokines
How many cells are produced daily?
1 Trillion
During Regulation of Hematopoiesis, Multipotent stem cells are influenced by cytokines and growth factors to differentiate into ?
Unipotential cells which ultimately become
mature blood cells
During Regulation of Hematopoiesis, Hormonal influence is exerted by?
– Cytokines (IL-#)
– Growth Factors (Il-#, CSF,
EPO, Thrombopoietins)
– Vitamins, metals amino acids
Erythrocytes
• Released from bone marrow
fully mature
• Cary Oxygen and CO2
• No Nucleus - No Cell division
A nucleated RBC would indicate what ?
extramedullary
hematopoiesis
Erythropoiesis
Production of red blood cells by bone marrow
Decreased blood oxygen concentration detected by the kidneys would release what ?
Erythropoietin (EPO) is released from the
kidney’s peritubular cells
RBC Shape
Biconcave Disk – 7μ x 2μ • Shape provides maximum surface area for maximum gas transfer. • Flexible • Traverse capillaries in Rouleaux Formation (single file)
RBC Life Span
120 days once the mature cell is released
into circulation
Reticulocytes
(immature RBC) found in
circulation after blood loss
