I. hematocrit
= % of blood volume occupied by erythrocytes
average = 45% (average plasma volume = 55%)

to determine the hematocrit, a small tube of blood is collected:
BLOOD
then spun in a centrifuge for 5 minutes:
PLASMA BLOOD
• erythrocytes are heavier than plasma and are packed in the bottom of the tube
• plasma is separated from formed elements
a special scale is used to determine the relative volume occupied by the erythrocytes compared to total blood volume (see previous slide)

II. erythrocytes
A. physical characteristics– 6 - 8 mm diameter – biconcave discs
• more surface area than spherical cells • more flexible and less fragile
– no nuclei or organelles – filled with hemoglobin
![Page 5: Chapter 17 - Blood](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042516/56814236550346895dae542c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

B. hemoglobin– each molecule of Hb is made of 4 subunits – each subunit contains 1 peptide and 1 heme – normal adult Hb has 2 alpha and 2 beta
peptides – each heme contains one
iron atom – the peptide
carries CO2

C. average lifespan of a RBC = 100 to 120 days– old RBCs are removed from circulation by
phagocytes (spleen, liver, bone marrow)– some components are recycled
• amino acids• Fe (stored in liver)
– the remainder of the heme group is converted to bilirubin and excreted in bile

D. disorders
1. anemia = reduced ability of blood to carry oxygen– NOT always characterized by low red blood
cell count or low hematocrit
a. iron deficiency
b. vitamin B12 deficiency / pernicious anemia caused by lack of intrinsic factor production in stomach

BIOL 2304 Fall 2006 Chapter 17 8
c. aplastic anemia due to destruction of stem cells in bone marrow (radiation, cancer drugs, environmental toxins)
d. hemolytic anemia is caused by destruction of red blood cells
e. hemorrhagic anemia is caused by blood loss
f. genetic disorder causing abnormal hemoglobin

2. polycythemia = high RBC count
a. primary - bone marrow cancer
b. secondary – caused by:
• adaptation to increased activity or altitude • dehydration • excess secretion of erythropoietin
– effect = increased blood viscosity

A. classification
1. granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils)
cytoplasmic granules
distorted, inactive nuclei
phagocytic
2. agranulocytes (lymphocytes, monocytes)• lack obvious granules in cytoplasm
III. leukocytes

BIOL 2304 Fall 2006 Chapter 17 11
B. characteristics
1. neutrophils (40 - 70%)– nucleus has 2-6 lobes – cytoplasm stains light purple – phagocytize bacteria
![Page 12: Chapter 17 - Blood](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042516/56814236550346895dae542c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
BIOL 2304 Fall 2006 Chapter 17 12
2. eosinophils (1 - 4%)– nucleus has 2 lobes – cytoplasm stains red, orange or dark pink – phagocytize antigen-antibody complexes and
fight parasitic worms
![Page 13: Chapter 17 - Blood](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042516/56814236550346895dae542c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

4. lymphocytes (20 - 45%)– nucleus round, dark, takes up most of cell – cytoplasm seen as thin rim of light blue – about same size as RBCs – functionally divided into 2 categories: – B cells make antibodies – T cells attack foreign, cancer and virus-
infected cells
![Page 15: Chapter 17 - Blood](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042516/56814236550346895dae542c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

IV. thrombocytes
• fragments of cytoplasm enclosed by plasma membrane
• cytoplasm contains secretory granules • involved in hemostasis
– form platelet plugs– secrete chemicals that enhance blood
coagulation

V. hematopoiesis
occurs in the bone marrow (myeloid tissue)
• bone marrow is located inside bones• there are two categories:
– red - active – yellow - inactive
![Page 18: Chapter 17 - Blood](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042516/56814236550346895dae542c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

C. stem cell divides by mitosis to form two daughter cells– one daughter cell becomes the new stem cell– one daughter cell differentiates
this daughter cell
becomes the new stem cell
this daughter cell
differentiates into a formed element

D. lineages
1. lymphoid stem cell • lymphocytes
2. myeloid stem cell• erythrocytes• granulocytes• monocytes• megakaryocytes => platelets
