3. Protection

B. Blood component
C. Blood plasma
Major component of blood that consists of about 90% water which dissolves and
transports organic and inorganic molecules.

sources.

1. Hematopoiesis
All blood-borne cells ultimately derive from pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells, which has
the capacity to produce all leukocytes as well as red blood cells and platelets.

3. Regulation of Erythropoiesis
An increase in erythropoietin happen during low oxygen level in the blood due to:
1. Reduced RBCs (anemia)
2. Reduced oxygen tension (at high altitude)
3. Increased demand of oxygen in tissue (during exercise)

Essential coenzymes
Vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid.
Necessary for DNA replication
(Mitosis).

Needed for hemoglobin synthesis.

Against infection by patrolling the tissues and organs the body via the blood
circulatory and lymphatic systems.

1.4 Monocytes
They spend 1-2 days in circulation, then enter throughout the body, where they
reside for up to several months as macrophages.
24
1.5 Macrophages
They phagocytize, or pick up cellular debris, foreign cells, and particles and
degrade them enzymatically.
25
26
Named for their ability to lyse and kill virus-infected cells and cancer cells.

Antigen
Antibodies ( agglutinins)
32
When agglutinins attack the foreign RBCs, foreign cells clump together or
agglutinate, the process is termed as agglutination.
33
B. Blood types
Determined by presence or absence of specific surface antigen in RBC cell membrane A, B, Rh (D).
34
Discovered in 1940 by Karl Landsteiner and Alexander Wiener where it was named after the
Rhesus monkey.
Rh (+) positive means the RBCs have antigens on their surface, whereas Rh (-) negative means
RBCs do not have D antigen on their surface.
The type D antigen is widely prevalent in the population. About 85 per cent of all white people
are Rh positive and 15 per cent, Rh negative.
35
If an Rh(-) person receives a transfusion of Rh (+) blood, the Rh antigen stimulates the
recipient to begin producing anti-Rh antibodies.
However, if the Rh (-) person, who is not sensitized to Rh (+) blood, receives another
transfusion of Rh (+) blood some month later, the donated blood is likely to
agglutinate.

A. Platelets
fragments of megakaryocytes.
1. Thrombocytopoiesis
Platelet production.
41
2. Roles of platelets
1.
Formation of platelet plug in the walls of damaged blood vessels that can slow
rate of blood loss while clotting occurs.
2.
3.
42
B. Hemostasis
44
Platelets attach to the exposed edges of damaged blood vessels, causing a series of
reaction that results in massive platelet plug at the site of damage.

Platelet adhesion

3. Blood coagulation
The major event in blood clot formation is the conversion of SOUBLE fibrinogen into
INSOLUBLE fibrin.

Prothrombin

Fibrinogen
Common pathway
Fibrinogen

[Ca2+]
Fibrin fibers
1.
In response to the rupture of the blood vessel, several blood coagulation factors
involved in the formation of a complex of activated substances collectively called
Prothrombin activator.
2.
3.
The thrombin acts a an enzyme to convert fibrinogen into fibrin fibers that
enmesh platelets, blood cells and plasma to form a clot.

The activated factor XII acts enzymaticaly on factor XI to activate this factor.
3.
The activated Factor XI then acts enzymatically on Factor IX to activate this factor.
4.
The activated Factor IX, acting in concert with acivated Factor VIII with the platelet
phospholipids and factor 3 from the traumatized platelets, activates Factor X.

1. Traumatized tissue release a complex of several factors termed as tissue factor (or
throboplastin). This factor is composed of phospholipids and lipoprotein (serve as
proteolytic enzyme).
2. The tissue factor with blood coagulation factor VII, and in the presence of Ca2+ ions,
act enzymatically on Factor X to form activated Factor X (Xa).
3. Effect of Factor Xa to form prothrombin activator
Factor X combines with tissue phospholipids or with additional phospholipids
released from platelets as well as Factor V to form prothrombin activator.
In the presence of Ca2+ ions, prothrombin is spited to form thrombin.
Noted that at first, factor V in the prothrombin activator complex is INACTIVE. But
once clotting begins and formation of thrombin, the proteolytic action of
thrombin activates factor V. This then becomes an additional strong accelerator
of prothrombin activation (positive feedback effect of thrombin).
55
Intrinsic pathway
Arises if only cells surrounding the Arises if the endothelium is damaged ( blood
blood vessel are damaged
contacting collagen + platelets being damaged
by cut edges of the vessel wall)
Explosive that the clotting can occur Much slower to proceed, usually requiring 1 to
in 15 seconds.
6 minutes to cause clotting.

1.
Clotting factors are rapidly inactivated to ensure that clotting is only occur at the
site of injury and not progress steadily down the vessel.
