The Cardiovascular
System: Blood

Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Functions





Transportation: water, gases, nutrients,
hormones, enzymes, electrolytes, wastes,
heat
Regulation: pH, temperature, water balance
Protection: blood clotting, defense:
phagocytic cells, interferons, complement

Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Composition


A connective tissue with components readily
seen when blood is centrifuged:




Plasma(~55%): soluble materials (mostly
water); lighter so at top of tube
Formed elements (~45%): cells (heavier so at
bottom of tube)


Mostly red blood cells (RBCs)
Percent of blood occupied by RBCs = hematocrit (Hct)
 Normal hematocrit value: 42-47%
 Females: 38 to 46%; males: 40 to 54%




Buffy coat: site of white blood cells (WBCs), platelets

Formation of Blood Cells



Called hemopoiesis or hematopoiesis
Occurs throughout life




In response to specific hormones, stem cells
undergo a series of changes to form blood cells

Pluripotent stem cells in red marrow




Lymphoid stem cells  lymphocytes (in lymphatic
tissues)
Myeloid stem cells  all other WBCs, all RBCs,
and platelets (in red bone marrow)

Erythrocytes (RBCs)


Hemoglobin (red pigment)




RBC count: about 5 million/µl




Carries 98.5% of O2 and 23% of CO2
Male: 5.4 million cells/µl; female: 4.8 million/µl

Structure of mature RBC



No nucleus/DNA so RBCs live only 3 to 4 mos
Lack of nucleus causes biconcave disc shape
with extensive plasma membrane



Provides for maximal gas exchange
Is flexible for passing through capillaries

Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
RBC Recycling



Cleared by macrophages (liver and spleen)
Recycled components



Globin  amino acids recycled to form proteins
Heme broken down into:


Fe
Carried in blood by transferrin (“protein escort” of Fe)
 Recycled in bone marrow for forming synthesis of new
hemoglobin; proteins and vitamin B12 required also




Non-Fe portion of heme biliverdin  bilirubin
Bilirubin to liver  bile  helps absorb fats
 Intestinal bacteria convert bilirubin into other chemicals
that exit in feces (stercobilin) or urine (urobilin)

RBC Synthesis: Erythropoiesis




Develop from myeloid stem cells in red
marrow
Cells lose nucleus; are then released into
bloodstream as reticulocytes




These almost-mature RBCs develop into erythrocytes
after 1-2 days in bloodstream
High reticulocyte count (> normal range of 0.5% to
1.5% as more of these circulate in bloodstream)
indicates high rate of RBC formation

Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
RBC Synthesis: Erythropoiesis


Production and destruction: normally
balanced





Stimulus for erythropoiesis is low O2 delivery
(hypoxia) in blood passing to kidneys 
Kidneys release erythropoietin release (EPO) 
Stimulates erythropoiesis in red marrow 
increased O2 delivery in blood (negative
feedback mechanism)

RBC Synthesis: Erythropoiesis


Signs of lower-than-normal RBC count 
changes in skin, mucous membranes, and
finger nail beds

White Blood Cells (WBCs or Leukocytes)
Appear white because lack hemoglobin
Normal WBC count: 5,000-10,000/µl





WBC count usually increases in infection

Two major classes based on presence or
absence of granules (vesicles) in them]





Granular: neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils




Neutrophils usually make up 2/3 of all WBCs

Agranular: lymphocytes, monocytes

Major function: defense against





Infection and inflammation
Antigen-antibody (allergic) reactions
Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
White Blood Cell Functions


Neutrophils: first responders to infection





Monocytes  macrophages (“big eaters”)

Known as wandering macrophages

Eosinophils

histamine and serotonin; also heparin

White Blood Cell Functions
Lymphocytes




Three types of lymphocytes






T cells
B cells
Natural killer (NK) cells

Play major roles in immune responses




B lymphocytes respond to foreign substances called
antigens and differentiate into plasma cells that
produce antibodies. Antibodies attach to and
inactivate the antigens.
T lymphocytes directly attack microbes.

Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
White Blood Cell Functions


Major histocompatibility (MHC) antigens




Proteins protruding from plasma membrane of
WBCs (and most other body cells)
Called “self-identity markers”





Unique for each person (except for identical twins)
An incompatible tissue or organ transplant is rejected
due to difference in donor and recipient MHC antigens
MHC antigens are used to “type tissues” to check for
compatibility and reduce risk of rejection

Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
WBC Life Span





WBCs: 5000-10,000 WBCs/µl blood
RBCs outnumber WBCs about 700:1
Life span: typically a few hours to days
Abnormal WBC counts






Leukocytosis: high WBC count in response to
infection, exercise, surgery
Leukopenia: low WBC count

Differential WBC count: measures % of
WBCs made up of each of the 5 types
Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Platelets





Myeloid stem cells  megakaryocytes 
2000–3000 fragments = platelets
Normal count: 150,000-400,000/µl blood
Functions





Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Blood Clotting (Coagulation)


Extrinsic pathway




Intrinsic Pathway




Tissue factor(TF) from damaged cells 1  2  3
Materials “intrinsic” to blood  1  2  3

Common pathway: 3 major steps
1. Prothrombinase 
2. Prothrombin  thrombin
3. Fibrinogen  fibrin  clot



Ca++ plays important role in many steps
Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Clot Retraction and Vessel Repair



Clot plugs ruptured area
Gradually contracts (retraction)




Pulls sides of wound together

Repair



Fibroblasts replace connective tissue
Epithelial cells repair lining

Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Hemostatic Control Mechanisms


Fibrinolysis: breakdown of clots by plasmin





Inappropriate (unneeded) clots






Inactivated plasminogen 
Activated (by tPA)  plasmin
Clots can be triggered by roughness on vessel
wall = thrombosis
Loose (on-the-move) clot = embolism

Blood Groups and Blood Types




RBCs have antigens (agglutinogens) on their
surfaces
Each blood group consists of two or more
different blood types



There are > 24 blood groups
Two examples:





ABO group has types A, B, AB, O
Rh group has type Rh positive (Rh+), Rh negative (Rh–)

Blood types in each person are determined
by genetics
Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
ABO Group


Two types of antigens on RBCs: A or B





Type A has only A antigen
Type B has only B antigen
Type AB has both A and B antigens
Type O has neither A nor B antigen




Most common types in US: type O and A

Typically blood has antibodies in plasma




These can react with antigens
Two types: anti-A antibody or anti-B antibody
Blood lacks antibodies against own antigens



Type A blood has anti-B antibodies (not anti-A)
Type AB blood has neither anti-A nor anti-B antibodies
Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
ABO Group

Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Rh Blood Group



Name Rh: antigen found in rhesus monkey
Rh blood types








If RBCs have Rh antigen: Rh+
If RBCs lack Rh antigen: Rh–

Rh+ blood type in 85-100% of U.S. population
Normally neither Rh+ nor Rh– has anti-Rh
antibodies
Antibodies develop in Rh- persons after first
exposure to Rh+ blood in transfusion (or
pregnancy  hemolytic disease of newborn)
Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Transfusions






If mismatched blood (“wrong blood type”)
given, antibodies bind to antigens on RBCs
 hemolyze RBCs
Type AB called “universal recipients” because
have no anti-A or anti-B antibodies so can
receive any ABO type blood
Type O called “universal donors” because
have neither A nor B antigen on RBCs so can
donate to any ABO type


Misleading because of many other blood groups
that must be matched
