Blood – What it is?...
• Specialized fluid in the body.• Delivers necessary substances.
– Nutrients– Oxygen
• Removes waste products from cells.– Carbon dioxide– Cell waste

Red Blood Cells
• A.k.a. Erthrocytes (“red” & “cell”)• Deliver oxygen & remove carbon dioxide
and other waste.• Red because it contains hemoglobin which
binds oxygen. Bluer when oxygen-poor.• Made in bone marrow in humans.
– Live for 120 days– No organelles or nucleus– Single drop = millions of cells

White Blood Cells

White Blood Cells
• A.k.a. leukocytes (“white” & “cell”)• Cells of the immune system
– Defend the body against infectious disease and foreign materials.
– Indicator of disease – 1% of blood in healthy adult. Greater # may mean infection.
• Produced in the bone marrow.• Live a few days to a few weeks.

Platelets

Platelets
• A.k.a. Thrombocytes• Responsible for clotting of the blood when
exposed to air.– Small, colorless, irregular shape, sticky
surfaces.• Life span of 8-12 days• Excessive bleeding can occur if their
numbers are too low.

Plasma• Responsible for transport
of cells. Like the stream to fish.– Carries dissolved salts (Ca,
Na, Mg, K)– Transports blood, glucose,
carbon dioxide.
• ~55% of blood. Straw-colored, clear liquid. Mostly (~90%) water.
• Serum is plasma without clotting proteins.

Blood Types & Rh Factor
![Page 14: Blood](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062811/568160d8550346895dd008f7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Blood Types & Rh Factor
• A, B, AB, O refer to the presence or absence of antigens in the blood.– O is most common (neither antigen).– Blood types are inherited.
• Rh refers to the Rhesus Monkey – an antigen (D) is present in some people (which is common to Rhesus) = +.– 85% are + (99% Asians are +)– 15% are -.

Conditions
• Anemia – a symptom in which there are reduced RBC’s. Other symptoms are pale skin, feel weak, fast heart beat.
• Leukemia – cancer affecting bone marrow and immunity.
• Sickle-cell – anemia resulting genetically. RBC’s are sickle shaped.
