HematocritDefn. - The percentage of total blood volume occupied
by erythrocytes. Hematocrit increases with polycythemia and dehydration and decreases with anemia.
Polycythemia – an abnormally high number of erythrocytes.
Anemia – reduced oxygen carrying ability in the blood due to too few erythrocytes or abnormal hemoglobin.

Normal Hematocrit Readings
Males – 40 to 50 % (5,200,000 RBC’s / mm3)
Females – 37 to 47% (4,700,000 RBC’s/ mm3)
![Page 6: Biology 161 Blood Lab](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813d84550346895da762d5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Hemoglobin
• The basic way to compare blood by color on the color chart.
• Orange indicates anemia.
• Deep Red indicates normal hemoglobin.
![Page 7: Biology 161 Blood Lab](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813d84550346895da762d5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Normal Hemoglobin Readings
• Males – 13 to 18 g/100ml
• Females - 12 – 16 g/100ml
![Page 8: Biology 161 Blood Lab](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813d84550346895da762d5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
White Blood Cells (Leukocytes)White blood cells are grouped in to two major categories,
Granulocytes and Agranulocytes.
Granulocytes – are roughly spherical in shape, they are larger than RBC’s, have lobed nuclei, and their cytoplasmic granules stain specific colors with Wright’s Stain.
Agranulocytes – are WBC’s that lack visible cytoplasmic granules. Their Nuclei are typically spherical or kidney shaped.
![Page 9: Biology 161 Blood Lab](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813d84550346895da762d5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
WBC’s - Granulocytes
Basophils (0-2%) – • release heparin and
histamine. • The granules stain
purple and the deep purple
• lobed nucleus has two or three constrictions.
![Page 10: Biology 161 Blood Lab](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813d84550346895da762d5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
WBC’s - Granulocytes
Eosinophils (0-4%) • fight allergies. • They have a bi-lobed
nucleus • red cytoplasmic
granules.
![Page 11: Biology 161 Blood Lab](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813d84550346895da762d5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
WBC’s - GranulocytesNeutrophils (60-70%) – • 1st WBC to an infection• mature neutrophils have
a 4-5 lobed nucleus• cytoplasmic granules
stain mauve.
![Page 12: Biology 161 Blood Lab](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813d84550346895da762d5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
WBC’s - Agranulocytes
Monocytes (4-9%) – • carry out phagocytosis ie.
macrophages. • These are the largest
White Blood Cells. • The nucleus is a U-shape • the cytoplasm is a grey-
blue color.
![Page 13: Biology 161 Blood Lab](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813d84550346895da762d5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
WBC’s - AgranulocytesLymphocytes (20-25%) • provide immunity: • T and B cells. • These are the smallest
WBC’s. • The nucleus of these cells
is spherical and takes up most of the cell.
![Page 14: Biology 161 Blood Lab](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813d84550346895da762d5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
DifferentialNote- when beginning your differential, RBC’s normally
cover the entire field of view.
Differential – is a comparison by numbers of the numbers and type of white blood cells on a person’s blood slide. This is used to determine if there is a diagnostic increase of a certain type of cells. To do a differential we will sequentially go back a forth across the blood slide, count 50 WBC’s and double the number to give us a percentage.

![Page 16: Biology 161 Blood Lab](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813d84550346895da762d5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Blood Typing
• Transfusion of the wrong blood type into an individual can be fatal
• Red Blood Cell Plasma membranes have highly specific glycoproteins at their external surfaces called “antigens”
• Presence or absence of each antigen allows each person’s blood cells to be classified into blood groups
![Page 17: Biology 161 Blood Lab](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813d84550346895da762d5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Blood TypingAntigen – • from the words antibody generating is a molecule that
sometimes stimulates an immune response• are highly specific glycoproteins that are at a red blood cells
external surface (surface antigens)
Agglutinogen – • since the RBC antigens promote agglutination they are called
Agglutinogens
![Page 18: Biology 161 Blood Lab](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813d84550346895da762d5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Blood TypingAntibody – is a protein molecule that is released by a plasma cell
that binds to a specific antigen.• are proteins found in the blood that are used by the immune
system to identify and neutralize foreign objects
Agglutinin –• preformed antibodies that act against RBC’s carrying the ABO
antigens• Found in the plasma
![Page 19: Biology 161 Blood Lab](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813d84550346895da762d5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Agglutination
• Involves red blood cells and can be used to identify RBC surface antigens (with known antibodies) or to screen for antibodies (with RBCs with known surface antigens).
• When faced with a different blood type the donor’s red blood cells are attacked by the recipients plasma agglutinins
• Clumping of the RBC’s occurs
![Page 20: Biology 161 Blood Lab](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813d84550346895da762d5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
ABO Blood Groups
• ABO blood groups are based on the presence or absence of two agglutinogens type A or type B
• The use of serum containing the plasma antibodies, agglutinins, is used to cause the agglutination of the blood and identify type according to the surface antigens present
![Page 21: Biology 161 Blood Lab](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813d84550346895da762d5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Blood Types
AB – has both A and B surface antigens, and has neither anti-A nor anti-B antibodies in it’s plasma.
• Therefore AB blood types can receive blood from any blood type but can only donate to another AB blood type.
B – has B surface antigens, and has anti A antibodies in it’s plasma
• Therefore B blood types can receive blood from type B or type O and donate blood to type B or type AB
![Page 22: Biology 161 Blood Lab](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813d84550346895da762d5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Blood Types
A – contains A surface antigens and anti – B antibodies in it’s plasma.
• Therefore A blood types can receive blood from type A and type O and donate blood to type A and type AB.
O – has neither type A or type B surface antigens and has both anti- A and anti- B antibodies in its plasma
• Therefore O blood types can receive blood from type O and donate blood to type A, B and AB (Universal donor)
![Page 23: Biology 161 Blood Lab](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813d84550346895da762d5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Blood Typing
![Page 24: Biology 161 Blood Lab](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813d84550346895da762d5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Rh Factor
• This blood typing system was named due to one Rh antigen (agglutinogen D) was first isolated in a Rhesus monkey. It was later found in humans.
• About 85% of Americans are Rh+ • As a rule a person’s Rh and ABO blood types are
reported together for example A+ or B- or O+
![Page 25: Biology 161 Blood Lab](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813d84550346895da762d5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Rh Factor• Anti Rh antibodies are not spontaneously formed in
the blood.• However if a Rh- person receives Rh+ blood in a
transfusion the immune system will produce anti Rh antibodies
• After the second transfusion the same agglutination patterns can be seen
• Hence the problems that occur with Erythroblastosis fetalis (hemolytic disease of the newborn)
![Page 26: Biology 161 Blood Lab](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813d84550346895da762d5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
![Page 27: Biology 161 Blood Lab](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813d84550346895da762d5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Normal Blood Slide
![Page 28: Biology 161 Blood Lab](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813d84550346895da762d5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Erythroblastosis Fetalis• This may occur when an Rh- mother has her second
Rh+ baby. • Bleeding from the placenta detaching from the
uterus causes antigens from the Rh+ newborn to pass into the mother’s blood stream.
• Without treatment the mother will develop anti Rh antibodies which are then passed to the next Rh+ baby which destroys the newborns red blood cells
![Page 29: Biology 161 Blood Lab](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813d84550346895da762d5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Erythroblastosis Fetalis
• causes hemolysis of immature RBC’s (erythroblasts = reticulocytes) which are nucleated RBC’s.
• Note the prickly cells. The baby suffers from anemia because the RBC’s die before they can carry oxygen.
![Page 30: Biology 161 Blood Lab](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813d84550346895da762d5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Leukemia
Leukocytosis (increase in WBC’s but they are immature and incapable of performing immune function)
• There is a decrease in the number of RBC’s and thrombocytes so there is anemia and pinpoint bleeding and bruising.
![Page 31: Biology 161 Blood Lab](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813d84550346895da762d5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Infectious MononucleosisCommonly called the “kissing disease”
this highly contagious viral disease often seen in young adults.
• It is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus and is characterized in the blood by an increase in the number of lymphocytes and monocytes (atypical lymphocytes).
• 50 – 95% of the WBC’s present may be lymphocytes and monocytes (normal 35%).
• The WBC count will also increase from 7,000 to 11,000 per cubic mm to 20,000 WBC / mm3
![Page 32: Biology 161 Blood Lab](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813d84550346895da762d5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Sickle Cell Anemia
Is caused by the abnormal hemoglobin (HbS) rather than HbA.
• The cells become sickle in shape and can’t carry oxygen well causing anemia.
• They become stuck together and clog capillaries.
• These events interfere with oxygen delivery, and during increased respiration leave the victim in pain and gasping for air.
![Page 33: Biology 161 Blood Lab](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813d84550346895da762d5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Hypochromic Anemia
• Erythrocytes are small and pale.
• This is caused either as a secondary response to a hemorrhagic anemia, or from an inadequate intake of iron in the diet.
