Formed Elements:cells and cell fragments
Red Blood Cells (RBCs): anucleate cells that carry oxygen; there are 4-6 X 106/mm3
blood
White Blood Cells (WBCs): nucleated cells that provide immunity; there are 5,000 –
9,000/mm3 blood
Platelets (thrombocyte) cell fragments used for hemostasis(stoppage of bleeding); there are250,000 – 400,000/mm3 blood

Red Blood Cells (erythrocytes):
1. Are biconcave discs that lack nuclei and organelles
2. Contain hemoglobin (Hb) which binds to O2
3. They are the most numerous formed element
4. They have a “biconcave” shape
5. Their diameter averages 7.5 m.

There are five types of leukocytes organized into two classes:
Agranulocytes: Granulocytes: lymphocytes
basophils monocytesneutrophilseosinophils
![Page 9: Human Anatomy and Physiology Lab 1 Blood. Background: I. Blood is a connective tissue composed of formed elements (cells and cellfragments) and intercellular](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e695503460f94b65823/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Platelets (Thrombocytes):
1. Are fragments derived from bone marrow cells (megakaryocytes)
2.They contain granules but no nuclei or organelles
3. They are smaller than RBCs
4. They are used to prevent blood loss (hemostasis)

Objective 2
You will identify each of the formed elements on a prepared blood smear that has been stained with Wright’s stain
Wright’s Stain is a mixture of two dyes:
1. Methylene Blue: a basic dye that stains acidic
components deep blue/purple
2. Eosin: an acidic dye that stains basic
componentsred/deep pink/orange
![Page 11: Human Anatomy and Physiology Lab 1 Blood. Background: I. Blood is a connective tissue composed of formed elements (cells and cellfragments) and intercellular](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e695503460f94b65823/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Drop of Blood
![Page 12: Human Anatomy and Physiology Lab 1 Blood. Background: I. Blood is a connective tissue composed of formed elements (cells and cellfragments) and intercellular](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e695503460f94b65823/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Different stains can be applied – one popular stain is a differential stain called Wright’s Stain. Wright’s stain is a mixture of eosin and methylene blue.
Methylene blue (blue dye)
has a positive charge and stains negatively charged substances (acids found in some granules, and DNA and RNA)
structures that combine with methylene blue are called basophilic
Eosin (red dye)
has a negative charge and stains positively charged substances (bases found in some granules, and hemoglobin)
structures that combine with eosin blue are called acidophilic
Eosin/Methylene Blue Complex
stains neutral substances (such as components of some granules) lilac

Objective 3
A differential white blood cell count is performed to determine the relative percentage of each type of WBC
It is used to detect diseases, such as acute infection, chronic infection, allergy, parasitic diseases, anemia, HIV infection, and others
![Page 21: Human Anatomy and Physiology Lab 1 Blood. Background: I. Blood is a connective tissue composed of formed elements (cells and cellfragments) and intercellular](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e695503460f94b65823/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
In this activity, you will systematically scan a prepared slide and observe 100 white blood cells
- identify each one and record your data to determine the relative percentages of each type of WBC
# observed % = X 100 # counted
![Page 22: Human Anatomy and Physiology Lab 1 Blood. Background: I. Blood is a connective tissue composed of formed elements (cells and cellfragments) and intercellular](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e695503460f94b65823/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
