Plasma contains
the formed elements of the blood (erthrocytes-RBC, leukocytes-WBC, thrombocytes-platelets)
-
Hematopoiesis
The process which all of the formed elements in the plasma are produced. Hematopoiesis occurs in the red marrow of long bones or flat bones (such as the sternum, ribs, hip bones, bones of the spinal column, and bones of the legs)
-
Pluripotent Hematopoietic stem cells
have the property of self-renewal and,, through cell division and differentiation, form populations of progenitor cells which are committed to the main marrow cell lines: erythroid, granulocytic and monocytic, megakaryocytic, and lymphocytic
-
lymphoid cells
lymphocytes=T cells, B cells and NK cells
-
Myeloid cells
all other blood cells
-
The make up and life of erythrocytes
Red blood cells (RBCs), ~120 day lifespan, hemoglobin, oxyhemoglobin, hemolysis undertaken by liver and spleen
-
Leukocytes
- White blood cells (WBCs), immune function, 5 types in two groups
- 1. granulocytes: neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils
- 2. Agranulocytes: lymphocytes, monocytes
-
Thrombocytes
platelets necessary for clotting
-
Clotting process
- 1. Aggregation
- 2. Clotting factor released, fibrin is formed, coagulation occurs
- 3. Hemostasis
-
ABO Blood Group
References the antigen found on the RBCs
-
Rh Blood Group
References a group of 47 antigens, positive or negative
