BLOOD: is a type of connective tiss
- * RED Blood Cells {RBC}- "Erythrocytes"
- * WHITE Blood Cells {WBC} - "Leukocytes"
- * Platelets/Thrombocytes - "Fragments" / "Clotting Cells"
- * Plasma - "The Fluid part of the blood"
-
Blood Components:
- *Hematocrit* {Hematocrit is a blood test that measures the percentage of the volume of whole blood that is made up of red blood cells}
- - % of RBC is normally 45%
- - % of WHB & Platelets is normally 1%
- - % of Plasma is normally 55%
-
A.) RED BLOOD CELLS: ERYTHROCYTES
- * Transport 02 thru the bdy
- * Small bi/concave - shaped cells
- * Hemoglobin is a pigment of the RBC's
- * Erythropoietin - regulates production of RBC's
-
B.) W.B.C/LEUKOCYTES:
*GRANULOCYTES/PMN'S*...
"PMN: Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes"
1.) Neutrophils = 55% - destroy bacteria, viruses & toxins in the blood stream {Phagocytes}
-
B.) W.B.C/LEUKOCYTES: *GRANULOCYTES*.
2.) Eosinophils = 3% - Gets rid of parasitic infections; such as, "Worm Infection"
-
B.) W.B.C/LEUKOCYTES: *GRANULOCYTES*.
3.) BASOPHILS: = 1% - Controls inflamation & allergic reaction
-
B.) W.B.C/LEUKOCYTES: *AGRANULOCYTES*
1) MONOCYTES: 8% - Destroy bacteria, viruses, & toxins in the blood.
-
B.) W.B.C/LEUKOCYTES: *AGRANULOCYTES*
- 2) LYMPHOCYTES: 33% - Provides immunity in the body
- - WBC count is normally 5, 000 2 10,000 cells per/cubic milimeter of blood.
-
B.) W.B.C/LEUKOCYTES: *AGRANULOCYTES*
- 2a) *LEUKOCYTOSIS:
- - Elevated blood cell count, usually due 2 infection {abnormal condition of W.B.C}
-
B.) W.B.C/LEUKOCYTES: *AGRANULOCYTES*
- 2c) *LEUKOPENIA:
- - Low WBC ct usually due 2 Viral Infections & other conditions {Decreased amt in WBC}
-
C.) PLATELETS: *THROMBOCYTES*
- * Fragments of cells found in the bloodstream
- * Important in the clotting process of blood
- * Normal Ct: 130,000 2 360, 000 platelets per/cb mm {per cubic milimeter} of blood
-
D.) PLASMA:
- * 55% of blood
- * Liquid portion of the blood composed mostly of water, but it also contains:
- - PROTEINS - NUTRIENTS
- - GASES {O2 & CO2} - ELECTROLYTES
- - WASTE PRODUCTS
-
I.) BLEEDING CONTROL:
"HEMOSTATIS' - The Control of Bleeding
- The 3 Processes of Hemostatis:
- 1) Blood Vessel Spasm
- 2) Platelets Plug Formation
- 3) Coagulation

BLOOD TYPES: Blood Types R distinguished by Antigens & Antibodies *Blood Types* {BT} Antigen Present {AG/P} Antibody Present {A/P}
{BT}: "A" will hve an {AG/P}of "A" type, which will hve an {A/P}of type "B" & Blood tht Can B Received: is "A & O" TYPE
