4 Lets start out with the weird Drinking blood = strong taboo in most cultures –Except blood sausage & blood pudding both of which are traditional dishes in other countries Its one of the rules we kept from the Jewish tradition. Is there an evolutionary undercurrent that these rules exist to prevent disease transmission? What about nosebleeds/rare steak? You can drink a pint of blood before you get sick, says Tyler Durden

5 The basics, functions and properties People have 4-6 L of blood Two components include –Plasma: clear fluid –Cells & Platelets Erythrocytes (RBCs) Leukocytes (WBCs) Centrifuging blood separates the two parts –RBCs make up ~ 45% of volume, a number called the hematocrit –RBCs make blood 4xs as viscous as water

6 Blood Components This test tube shows the components of blood in their relative ratios. It shows a hematocrit of 45. The RBC layer together with the "buffy coat" layer make up 45% of the total volume of centrifuged blood (4.5 m. out of 10 ml). hematocrit of normal adult male : 47 adult female: 42

7 Plasma Serum: Like plasma but, without clotting proteins Proteins of Plasma –Albumins: smallest & most abundant Regulates osmotic pressure –Globulins: alpha, beta, and gamma make up antibodies –Fibrogen: allows clotting Nitrogenous wastes in plasma (urea) are excreted in the kidneys

8 Erythrocytes (RBCs) O 2 & CO 2 carrier Determine bloodtype Need to be resilient to get through capillaries Hemoglobins make up 33% of the cytoplasm Nucleus is lost during cell formation

9 Qualities of Erythrocytes RBC count (Hematocrit) tells how much O 2 blood carries Why women have lower hematocrits –Androgens stimulate RBC production –Menstrual loss –Inverse proportion to body fat –Males also clot faster. –What evolutionary significance might this have?

10 Erythrocyte Disorders Polycythemia: Excess RBC Anemia: RBC Shortage Sickle Cell: ~1.3 % of African Americans –Symptoms: aches in joints from clogged capillaries, some associated symptoms can be fatal

11 Malaria Malaria is caused by parasites that destroy red blood cells. A symptom is an enlarged spleen, trying to make more RBCs Compare distribution area of sickle cell gene with distribution of Malaria

12 Blood Types Antigens on RBC surface allow antibodies to recognize what is and what is not us ABO blood group is a multiple allele explanation of blood types

13 The ABO Blood grizzoup Type OType AType BType AB Genotypes IiI A I A, I A iI B I B, I B iI A I B RBC Antigen NoneABA, B Plasma Antibody Anti-A, Anti-B Anti-BAnti-ANone Compatable Donors OO,AO,BO,A,B, AB

14 Blood Compatibility Agglutination happens when antibodies attack foreign RBCs AB is called the universal recipient because it has no RBC antibodies –But the donors Antibodies can attack the recipients –Also one of the rarer blood types O is the universal donor

15 Rh Groups Named for Rhesus Monkey 3 genes, C, D, and E, each with two alleles DD, or Dd have D antigens on RBCs, –Classified as Rh + –Rh - lack D antigens Combined with ABO group to get Blood types like A positive or B negative

16 Rh Transfusion problems If Rh - person recieves Rh + blood –First one is okay, the body hasnt made any Anti-D antibodies –Second one can cause problems With fetuses with different Rh groups –The pregnancy is fine as long as there is no tearing of the placenta –Then the baby might be born with Hemolytic disease of the new born (HDN), a type of anemia

17 Mismatched Transfusion Reaction Agglutinated RBCs block blood vessels & rupture –free Hb can block kidney tubules & cause death Universal donors and recipients –AB called universal recipient since it lacks both antibody A and B; O called universal donor –problem is donors plasma may have antibodies against recipients red blood cells –solution is giving packed cells with minimum plasma

18 The Rh Group Rh or D agglutinogens discovered in rhesus monkey in 1940 –blood type is Rh+ if agglutinogens present on RBCs –Rh frequencies vary among ethnic groups Anti-D agglutinins are not normally present in blood –form only in individuals exposed to Rh+ blood Rh- pregnant woman carrying an Rh+ fetus or blood transfusion of Rh+ blood no problems result with either the first transfusion or the first pregnancy, abortion or miscarriage –hemolytic disease of the newborn (erythroblastosis fetalis) occurs if mother has formed antibodies & is pregnant with 2nd Rh+ child –RhoGAM is given to pregnant woman to prevent antibody formation and prevent any future problems RhoGAM binds fetal agglutinogens in her blood so she will not form antibodies against them during the pregnancy

19 Hemolytic Disease of Newborn Mothers antibodies attack fetal blood causing severe anemia & toxic brain syndrome from excessive bilirubin in blood –treatment is phototherapy to degrade bilirubin or exchange transfusion to completely replace infants blood

20 Other Blood groups ~100 others, and ~500 antigens –MN, Duffey, Kell, Kidd, and Lewis groups Rarely cause transfusion problems Useful in paternity cases

21 Blood Types RBC antigens –called agglutinogens A & B –inherited combinations of proteins, glycoproteins and glycolipids on red blood cell Plasma antibodies –called agglutinins anti-A & -B –gamma globulins in blood plasma that recognize (stick to) foreign agglutinogens on RBCs –responsible for RBC agglutination in mismatched blood transfusions

22 The ABO Group Your ABO blood type is determined by presence or absence of antigens (agglutinogens) A & B on RBCs –blood type A person has A antigens, blood type B person has B antigens, AB has both & blood type O has neither –blood type O is the most common; AB the rarest Antibodies (agglutinins) appear 2-8 months after birth & are at maximum concentration at 10 yr. –antibodies A and/or B, both or none are in plasma –you do not have those that would react against your own antigens –each antibody can attach to several antigens at the same time causing agglutination (clumping)

23 Agglutination of Erythrocytes

24 ABO Blood Typing

25 Hemophilia and European royalty An X-linked trait, but some get it as a spontaneous mutation –Trouble with clotting factor VIII The incidence of hemophilia is about 1:7,500 live male births and 1:25,000,000 live female births. Low because we can I.D. it Transfusions = AIDS trouble

26 B12 deficiency and anemia Usually eat 5-7 µgs day. From meat/milk If youre not absorbing B12 in your GI tract it can lead to anemia Like if you have a bleeding ulcer and need part of your stomach removed Anemia: low RBC count or low hemoglobin

27 Leukocytes White blood cells Have nuclei –Different types are noted by shape of nucleus –Grainy appearance when stained

28 WBCs Neutrophils Make up the largest % of WBCs Releases antimicrobial chemicals A high count is a sign of bacterial infection Lymphocytes About 1/3 of WBCs Fights foreign bodies Secretes antibodies

29 Leukemia Leukemia is cancer of the blood cells. body produces large numbers of abnormal WBCs Symptoms –Fever, chills and other flu-like symptoms –Weakness and fatigue –Loss of appetite and/or weight –Swollen or tender lymph nodes, liver or spleen –Easy bleeding or bruising –Tiny red spots (called petechiae) under the skin –Swollen or bleeding gums –Sweating, especially at night –Bone or joint pain Treatments –Chemotherapy –Radiation therapy –Antibody therapy –Bone Marrow Transplants Also a feline variant

30 Functions and Properties of Blood Functions in respiration, nutrition, waste elimination, thermoregulation, immune defense, water and pH balance, etc. Adults have 4-6 L of blood –plasma, a clear extracellular fluid –formed elements (blood cells and platelets) Properties of blood –viscosity (resistance to flow) –osmolarity (total molarity of dissolved particles) if too high, fluid absorption into the blood causes high BP if too low, fluid remains in the tissues causing edema –one cause is deficiency of plasma protein due to diet or disease

31 Formed Elements of Blood

32 Hematocrit Centrifuging blood forces formed elements to separate from plasma Hematocrit is % of total volume that is cells

33 Plasma and Plasma Proteins Plasma is a mixture of proteins, enzymes, nutrients, wastes, hormones, and gases –if allowed to clot, what remains is called serum 3 major categories of plasma proteins –albumins are most abundant plasma protein contributes to viscosity and osmolarity and influences blood pressure, flow and fluid balance –globulins (antibodies) provide immune system defenses alpha, beta and gamma globulins –fibrinogen is precursor of fibrin threads that help form blood clots All plasma proteins formed by liver except globulins ( produced by plasma cells descended from B lymphocytes )

34 Nonprotein Components of Plasma Plasma contains nitrogenous compounds –amino acids from dietary protein or tissue breakdown –nitrogenous wastes(urea) are toxic end products of catabolism normally removed from the blood by the kidneys Nutrients (glucose, vitamins, fats, minerals, etc) Some O2 and CO2 are transported in plasma Many electrolytes are found in plasma –sodium makes up 90% of plasma cations accounting for more of bloods osmolarity than any other solute

35 Blood Cell Production (Hemopoiesis) Hemopoietic tissues produce blood cells –yolk sac in vertebrate embryo produce stem cells that colonize fetal bone marrow, liver, spleen & thymus –liver stops producing blood cells at birth, but spleen and thymus remain involved with WBC production –lymphoid hemopoiesis occurs in widely distributed lymphoid tissues (thymus, tonsils, lymph nodes, spleen & peyers patches in intestines) –red bone marrow produces RBCs, WBCs and platelets stem cells called hemocytoblasts multiply continually & are pluripotent (capable of differentiating into multiple cell lines) committed cells are destined to continue down one specific cell line Stimulated by erythropoietin, thrombopoietin & colony- stimulating factors (CSFs)

36 Hemopoiesis

37 Erythrocyte Production Erythropoiesis produces 2.5 million RBCs/second from stem cells (hemocytoblasts) in bone marrow First committed cell is proerythroblast –has receptors for erythropoietin (EPO) from kidneys Erythroblasts multiply & synthesize hemoglobin Normoblasts discard their nucleus to form a reticulocyte –named for fine network of endoplasmic reticulum –enters bloodstream as 0.5 to 1.5% of circulating RBCs Development takes 3-5 days & involves –reduction in cell size, increase in cell number, synthesis of hemoglobin & loss of nucleus –blood loss speeds up the process increasing reticulocyte count

38 Erythrocyte Homeostasis Classic negative feedback control –drop in RBC count causes hypoxemia to kidneys –EPO production –stimulation of bone marrow –RBC count in 3-4 days Stimulus for erythropoiesis –low levels of atmospheric O2 –increase in exercise –hemorrhaging

39 Nutritional Needs for Erythropoiesis Iron is key nutritional requirement for erythropoiesis –lost daily through urine, feces, and bleeding men 0.9 mg/day and women 1.7 mg/day –low absorption rate requires consumption of 5-20 mg/day dietary iron in 2 forms: ferric (Fe+3) & ferrous (Fe+2) –stomach acid converts Fe+3 to absorbable Fe+2 –gastroferritin from stomach binds Fe+2 & transports it to intestine –absorbed into blood & binds to transferrin to travel »bone marrow uses to make hemoglobin, muscle used to make myoglobin and all cells use to make cytochromes in mitochondria liver binds surplus to apoferritin to create ferritin for storage B12 & folic acid (for rapid cell division) and C & copper for cofactors for enzymes synthesizing RBCs

40 Iron Absorption, Transport & Storage

41 Leukocyte Production (Leukopoiesis) Committed cell types -- B & T progenitors and granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming units –possess receptors for colony-stimulating factors –released by mature WBCs in response to infections RBC stores & releases granulocytes & monocytes Some lymphocytes leave bone marrow unfinished –go to thymus to complete their development (T cells) Circulating WBCs do not stay in bloodstream –granulocytes leave in 8 hours & live 5 days longer –monocytes leave in 20 hours, transform into macrophages and live for several years –WBCs providing long-term immunity last decades

42 Platelet Production (Thrombopoiesis) Hemocytoblast that develops receptors for thrombopoietin from liver or kidney becomes megakaryoblast Megakaryoblast repeatedly replicates its DNA without dividing –forms gigantic cell called megakaryocyte (100 m in diameter that remains in bone marrow) Infoldings of megakaryocyte cytoplasm splits off cell fragments that enter the bloodstream as platelets (live for 10 days) –some stored in spleen & released as needed

43 Megakaryocytes & Platelets

44 Erythrocytes (RBCs) Disc-shaped cell with thick rim –7.5 M diameter & 2.0 m thick at rim Major function is gas transport –lost all organelles during maturation so has increased surface area/volume ratio increases diffusion rate of substances in & out of cell –33% of cytoplasm is hemoglobin (Hb) O2 delivery to tissue and CO2 transport back to lungs –contains enzyme, carbonic anhydrase (CAH) produces carbonic acid from CO2 and water important role in gas transport & pH balance

45 Erythrocytes on a Needle

46 Hemoglobin Structure Hemoglobin consists of 4 protein chains called globins (2 alpha & 2 beta) Each protein chain is conjugated with a heme group which binds oxygen to ferrous ion (Fe+2) Hemoglobin molecule can carry four O2 Fetal hemoglobin has gamma instead of beta chains

47 Erythrocytes and Hemoglobin RBC count & hemoglobin concentration indicate the amount of oxygen the blood can carry –hematocrit(packed cell volume) is % of blood composed of cells men 42-52% cells; women 37-48% cells –hemoglobin concentration of whole blood men 13-18g/dL; women 12-16g/dL –RBC count men million/ L; women million/ L Values are lower in women –androgens stimulate RBC production –women have periodic menstrual losses

48 Erythrocyte Death & Disposal RBCs live for 120 days –membrane fragility -- lysis in narrow channels in the spleen Macrophages in spleen –digest membrane bits –separate heme from globin –hydrolyze globin (amino acids) –remove iron from heme –convert heme to biliverdin –convert biliverdin to bilirubin becomes bile product in feces

49 Erythrocyte Disorders Polycythemia is an excess of RBC –primary polycythemia is due to cancer of erythropoietic cell line in the red bone marrow RBC count as high as 11 million/ L; hematocrit of 80% –secondary polycythemia from dehydration, emphysema, high altitude, or physical conditioning RBC count only up to 8 million/ L Dangers of polycythemia –increased blood volume, pressure and viscosity can lead to embolism, stroke or heart failure

50 Anemia - Deficiency of RBCs or Hb Causes of anemia –inadequate erythropoiesis or hemoglobin synthesis inadequate vitamin B12 from poor nutrition or lack of intrinsic factor from glands of the stomach (pernicious anemia) iron-deficiency anemia kidney failure & insufficient erythropoietin hormone aplastic anemia is complete cessation (cause unknown) –hemorrhagic anemias from loss of blood –hemolytic anemias from RBC destruction Effects of anemia –tissue hypoxia and necrosis (short of breath & lethargic) –low blood osmolarity (tissue edema) –low blood viscosity (heart races & pressure drops)

51 Sickle-Cell Disease Sickle-Cell is hereditary Hb defect of African Americans –recessive allele modifies hemoglobin structure homozygous recessive for HbS have sickle-cell disease heterozygous recessive for HbS have sickle-cell trait –sickle-cell disease individual has shortened life HbS turns to gel in low oxygen concentrations causing cell elongation and sickle shape cell stickiness causes agglutination and blocked vessels intense pain, kidney and heart failure, paralysis, and stroke chronic hypoxemia reactivates hemopoietic tissue –enlarging the spleen and bones of the cranium –HbS gene persists despite its harmful effects to the homozygous individual HbS indigestible to malaria parasites

52 Sickle-Cell Diseased Erythrocyte

53 Leukocyte Descriptions (WBCs) Granulocytes –eosinophils - pink-orange granules & bilobed nucleus (2-4%) –basophils - abundant, dark violet granules (<1%) large U- to S-shaped nucleus hidden by granules –neutrophils - multilobed nucleus (60-70%) fine reddish to violet granules in cytoplasm Agranulocytes –lymphocytes - round, uniform dark violet nucleus (25-33%) variable amounts of bluish cytoplasm (scanty to abundant) –monocytes - kidney- or horseshoe-shaped nucleus (3-8%) large cell with abundant cytoplasm

54 Granulocyte Functions Neutrophils ( in bacterial infections) –phagocytosis of bacteria –releases antimicrobial chemicals Eosinophils ( in parasitic infections or allergies) –phagocytosis of antigen-antibody complexes, allergens & inflammatory chemicals –release enzymes destroy parasites such as worms Basophils ( in chicken pox, sinusitis, diabetes) –secrete histamine (vasodilator) –secrete heparin (anticoagulant)

55 Agranulocyte Functions Lymphocytes ( in diverse infections & immune responses) –destroy cancer & foreign cells & virally infected cells –present antigens to activate other immune cells –coordinate actions of other immune cells –secrete antibodies & provide immune memory Monocytes ( in viral infections & inflammation) –differentiate into macrophages –phagocytize pathogens and debris –present antigens to activate other immune cells

56 Abnormalities of Leukocyte Count Leukopenia = low WBC count (<5000/ L) –causes -- radiation, poisons, infectious disease –effects -- elevated risk of infection Leukocytosis = high WBC count (>10,000/ L) –causes -- infection, allergy & disease –differential count -- distinguishes % of each cell type Leukemia = cancer of hemopoietic tissue –myeloid and lymphoid -- uncontrolled WBC production –acute and chronic -- death in either months or 3 years –effects -- normal cell % disrupted, patient subject to opportunistic infection, anemia & impaired clotting

57 Normal and Leukemia Blood Smears

58 Hemostasis - The Control of Bleeding Effective at closing breaks in small vessels 3 hemostatic mechanisms all involve platelets

59 Platelets Small fragments of megakaryocyte cytoplasm –2-4 m diameter & containing granules –pseudopods provide amoeboid movement & phagocytosis Normal Count ,000 to 400,000 platelets/ L Functions –secrete clotting factors, growth factors for endothelial repair, and vasoconstrictors in broken vessels –form temporary platelet plugs –dissolve old blood clots –phagocytize bacteria –attract WBCs to sites of inflammation

60 Vascular Spasm Prompt constriction of a broken vessel Triggers for a vascular spasm –some pain receptors directly innervate constrictors lasts only a few minutes –injury to smooth muscle longer-lasting constriction –platelets release serotonin, chemical vasoconstrictor Provides time for other 2 mechanisms to work

61 Platelet Plug Formation Normal endothelium very smooth & coated with prostacyclin (platelet repellent) Broken vessel exposes rough surfaces of collagen Platelet plug formation begins –platelet pseudopods stick to damaged vessel and other platelets -- pseudopods contract and draw walls of vessel together forming a platelet plug –platelets degranulate releasing a variety of substances serotonin is a vasoconstrictor adenosine diphosphate (ADP) attracts & degranulates more platelets thromboxane A2, an eicosanoid that promotes aggregation, degranulation & vasoconstriction Positive feedback cycle is active until break in vessel is sealed

62 Coagulation Clotting is the most effective defense against bleeding --- needs to be quick but accurate –conversion of plasma protein fibrinogen into insoluble fibrin threads which form framework of clot Procoagulants or clotting factors (inactive form produced by the liver) are present in the plasma –activate one factor and it will activate the next to form a reaction cascade Factors released by the tissues cause the extrinsic cascade pathway to begin (damaged vessels) Factors found only in the blood itself causes the intrinsic cascade pathway to begin (platelet degranulation) Both cascades normally occur together

63 Coagulation Pathways Extrinsic pathway –initiated by tissue thromboplastin –cascade from factor VII to to V to X Intrinsic pathway –initiated by factor XII –cascade from factor XI to IX to VIII to X Calcium is required for either pathway 15 seconds3-6 minutes

64 Enzyme Amplification in Clotting Rapid clotting occurs since each activated enzyme produces a large number of enzyme molecules in the following step.

65 Completion of Coagulation Coagulation is completed because of the formation of enzymes in a stepwise fashion Factor X produces prothrombin activator Prothrombin activator converts prothrombin to thrombin Thrombin converts fibrinogen into fibrin Positive feedback occurs as thrombin speeds up the formation of prothrombin activator

66 The Fate of Blood Clots Clot retraction occurs within 30 minutes –pseudopods of platelets contract condensing the clot Platelet-derived growth factor is secreted by platelets & endothelial cells –mitotic stimulant for fibroblasts and smooth muscle to multiply & repair the damaged vessel Fibrinolysis or dissolution of a clot –factor XII speeds up the formation of kallikrein enzyme –kallikrein converts plasminogen into plasmin, a fibrin- dissolving enzyme or clot buster

67 Blood Clot Dissolution Positive feedback occurs Plasmin promotes formation of kallikrein Positive Feedback

68 Prevention of Inappropriate Coagulation Platelet repulsion –platelets do not adhere to prostacyclin-coating Thrombin dilution –normally diluted by rapidly flowing blood heart slowing in shock can result in clot formation Natural anticoagulants –antithrombin produced by the liver deactivates thrombin before it can act on fibrinogen –heparin secreted by basophils & mast cells interferes with formation of prothrombin activator

69 Hemophilia genetic lack of any clotting factor affects coagulation sex-linked recessive in males (inherit from mother) –hemophilia A is missing factor VIII (83% of cases) –hemophilia B is missing factor IX (15% of cases) –hemophilia C is missing factor XI (autosomal) physical exertion causes bleeding & excruciating pain –transfusion of plasma or purified clotting factors –factor VIII now produced by transgenic bacteria

70 Coagulation Disorders Unwanted coagulation –embolism = unwanted clot traveling in a vessel –thrombosis = abnormal clotting in unbroken vessel most likely to occur in leg veins of inactive people clot travels from veins to lungs producing pulmonary embolism death from hypoxia may occur Infarction or tissue death may occur if clot blocks blood supply to an organ (MI or stroke) –650,000 Americans die annually of thromboembolism
