Blood is a type of liquid
connective tissue.
The major function of blood
is transport.

Respiration :
-if oxygen and carbon dioxide are transported
Trophic :
-when the nutrient materials are delivered to
the tissues
Excretive :
-when the metabolites are delivered from
tissues to excretory organs
Regulative :
-if the hormones and BAS are transported
![Page 4: Blood physiolog paramedical](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050922/55a95f341a28ab6b308b46a7/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Homeostatic :
- maintenance of water content and acid-base
balance
Protective :
- immunity and non-specific resistance;
- blood coagulation
Maintenance of body temperature :
-as a result of a redistribution of blood volume between skin and the internal organs at high and low temperature of external environment.

The total blood volume makes up about 6-8 percent of the body’s weight.
Accordingly, a 70-kilogram person will have 5 to 6 litres of blood.
Circulating blood volume will be lesser than total blood volume, because some amount of blood will be deposited in organs like liver.
![Page 6: Blood physiolog paramedical](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050922/55a95f341a28ab6b308b46a7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Blood consists of
liquid plasma
(volume-55-60%)
formed elements (cells)
(volume-40-45%)
![Page 7: Blood physiolog paramedical](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050922/55a95f341a28ab6b308b46a7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Formed elements include
Erythrocytes (red blood
cells);
Leukocytes (white blood
cells);
Thrombocytes (platelets)
![Page 8: Blood physiolog paramedical](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050922/55a95f341a28ab6b308b46a7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The hematocrit , also
known as packed cell
volume (PCV)
or erythrocyte volume
fraction (EVF), is the
volume percentage (%)
of red blood cells in the
blood. It is normally
about
40-48% for men and
36-42% for women
![Page 9: Blood physiolog paramedical](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050922/55a95f341a28ab6b308b46a7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
![Page 10: Blood physiolog paramedical](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050922/55a95f341a28ab6b308b46a7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
If a portion of blood is centrifuged or allowed to stand for a sufficient long time, it will be found that the blood cells will settle towards the bottom of the test tube while the plasma remains on top.
By this means the percentage of blood cells in whole blood can be determined.
![Page 11: Blood physiolog paramedical](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050922/55a95f341a28ab6b308b46a7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Haemopoiesis is the formation
of blood cellular components. All cellular
blood components are derived
from pluripotent haemopoietic stem cells
which is present in the bone marrow.
In a healthy adult person, approximately
1011–1012 new blood cells are produced
daily in order to maintain steady state levels
in the peripheral circulation.
![Page 12: Blood physiolog paramedical](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050922/55a95f341a28ab6b308b46a7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Humoral regulation by hormones:
Erythropoietin
Leucopoietin
Thrombopoietin
These hormones are produced by
kidney and liver.
![Page 15: Blood physiolog paramedical](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050922/55a95f341a28ab6b308b46a7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Composition :

(4.7g/dl) Regulation of oncoticpressure
Regulation of pH
Globulin - α
(23g/dl) β - Transportation
γ - Defense
Fibrinogen - Blood clotting (haemostasis)

![Page 19: Blood physiolog paramedical](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050922/55a95f341a28ab6b308b46a7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The major plasma carbohydrate is glucose
(70-140mg/dl) .
Plasma normally contains varying amounts
of hormones, enzymes, pigments, and
vitamins.
The composition of plasma varies with the
body’s activity and different physiological
states.
![Page 20: Blood physiolog paramedical](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050922/55a95f341a28ab6b308b46a7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
![Page 21: Blood physiolog paramedical](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050922/55a95f341a28ab6b308b46a7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
When fibrinogen is removed from
plasma as a result of coagulation,
such plasma without fibrinogen is
called serum.
![Page 22: Blood physiolog paramedical](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050922/55a95f341a28ab6b308b46a7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Red blood cells, or erythrocytes, are
the most abundant type of blood cell.
Approximately 2.4 million new
erythrocytes are produced per
second.
Approximately a quarter of the cells in
the human body are red blood cells.
![Page 23: Blood physiolog paramedical](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050922/55a95f341a28ab6b308b46a7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
In humans, mature red blood cells are
oval biconcave disks and they are
flexible.
A typical human erythrocyte has a
disk diameter of approximately 6.2–
8.2 µm
They lack a cell nucleus and
most organelles, in order to
accommodate maximum space for
haemoglobin.
![Page 24: Blood physiolog paramedical](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050922/55a95f341a28ab6b308b46a7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Since RBCs have a elastic membrane, they are able to change their shape when they pass through the capillaries.
The cells develop in the bone marrow and circulate for about 100–120 days in the body before their components are recycled by macrophages.
Human red blood cells take on average 20 seconds to complete one cycle of circulation.
![Page 27: Blood physiolog paramedical](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050922/55a95f341a28ab6b308b46a7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Normal range : 4 to 6 million
In male : 5million/cub
mm
In female : 4.5
![Page 28: Blood physiolog paramedical](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050922/55a95f341a28ab6b308b46a7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The major function of these cells is a
transport of haemoglobin, which in turn
carries oxygen from lungs to the issues
Red blood cells contain carbonic
anhydrase, which catalyzes the reaction
between carbon dioxide and water, that
has a significance in transporting carbon
dioxide (CO2) from tissues to lungs.
![Page 29: Blood physiolog paramedical](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050922/55a95f341a28ab6b308b46a7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The haemoglobin is an excellent acid-
base buffer.
Maintanence of acid-base balance.
Blood group determination.
![Page 30: Blood physiolog paramedical](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050922/55a95f341a28ab6b308b46a7/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Erythropoiesis is the process by which red
blood cells (erythrocytes) are produced.
It is stimulated by decreased O2 in
circulation, which is detected by
the kidneys, which then secrete the
hormone erythropoietin.
The whole process lasts about 7 days.
Through this process erythrocytes are
continuously produced in the red bone
marrow of large bones, at a rate of about 2
million per second in a healthy adult.
![Page 31: Blood physiolog paramedical](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050922/55a95f341a28ab6b308b46a7/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Mature red blood cells live in blood circulation for about 100 to 120
days. At the end of their lifespan, they become senescent, and are
removed from circulation by the macrophages. This process is termed eryptosis, erythrocyte programmed cell death.
![Page 32: Blood physiolog paramedical](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050922/55a95f341a28ab6b308b46a7/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
According to size :
Normocytes - Normal sized RBCs
Microcytes - Small sized RBCs
Macrocytes - Large sized RBCs
According to colour :
Normochromia - Normal coloured RBCs
Hyperchromia - Darker,due to increased hemoglobin
Hypochromia - Paler, due to decreased hemoglobin
They are determined by measuring the :
Mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH)
Mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration
(MCHC)

If the erythrocyte count is less than normal,
such state is called erythropenia.
A deficiency in number of RBCs or reduced
haemoglobin levels in RBCs is known as
anaemia.
Erythropenia may be because of :
Problems in production
Excessive destruction
(haemolysis)
Blood loss
![Page 39: Blood physiolog paramedical](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050922/55a95f341a28ab6b308b46a7/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), is
the rate at which red blood cells sediment
in a period of one hour.
RBC and plasma will be separated.
It is a common hematology test.
Normal values :
Men - 2-10 mm/hr
Women - 2-15 mm/hr
![Page 41: Blood physiolog paramedical](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050922/55a95f341a28ab6b308b46a7/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Factors influencing the ESR :
Plasma proteins mainly
fibrinogen and globulin
negative charge of the erythrocytes
(zeta potential)
![Page 43: Blood physiolog paramedical](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050922/55a95f341a28ab6b308b46a7/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Haemolysis is the rupturing of
erythrocytes and the release of their
contents (cytoplasm) into surrounding
fluid (blood plasma).
Hemolysis may occur in vivo or in
vitro (inside or outside the body).
![Page 44: Blood physiolog paramedical](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050922/55a95f341a28ab6b308b46a7/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Content :
It is composed of the protein
globin (a polypeptide), and
the pigment heme.
Structure :
The hemoglobin has the
ability to combine with
oxygen is due to the four iron
atoms associated with each
heme group within the
molecule.
![Page 45: Blood physiolog paramedical](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050922/55a95f341a28ab6b308b46a7/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Physiological role :
The main function of erythrocytes
is carried out by means
hemoglobin.
Normal range of haemoglobin :
In men - 13-16g/dl
In women - 12-14g g/dl
![Page 46: Blood physiolog paramedical](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050922/55a95f341a28ab6b308b46a7/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Physiological associations of haemoglobin :
Oxyhemoglobin :
- Oxygen combines weakly with
the haemoglobin molecule. Such association is called
oxyhemoglobin . It is formed in lungs.
Deoxyhemoglobin :
- When the oxygen is released to the
tissues of the body, the haemoglobin is called reduced
haemoglobin or deoxyhemoglobin.
Carbhemoglobin :
- In tissues Hb combines with carbon dioxide and
form carbhemoglobin.
![Page 47: Blood physiolog paramedical](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050922/55a95f341a28ab6b308b46a7/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
If a concentration of the
pathological associations of
hemoglobin is too high then,
hypoxia (decrease of oxygen in
tissues) can develop.
![Page 48: Blood physiolog paramedical](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050922/55a95f341a28ab6b308b46a7/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

Immunity is the capability to resist
from pathogens, that tend to damage
the tissues or organs, through
biological defense.
Leucocytes play a major role in
providing immunity.

Out of C,D and E D is the strongest
antigen.
Also called Rhesus(Rh) system
85% of the population is - Rh⁺
If Rh-D antigen is present in blood(RBC)
- Rh⁺
If Rh-D antigen is absent in blood(RBC),
- Rh⁻
It is determined by anti-Rh serum.

In blood transfusion :
Rh⁻ person cannot receive blood from Rh⁺ person,
whereas Rh⁺ person can receive blood from Rh⁻person without any problems.
If a Rh⁻ person receive blood from Rh⁺ person for
the first time, due to this exposure, there will be
formation antibodies(anti-RhD)
So, if a second transfusion is done again with Rh⁺blood, then, the antibodies which are already
present causes clumping.

Blood transfusion is :
The process of receiving blood products into
one's circulation intravenously. Transfusions are used in
a variety of medical conditions in order to replace the
lost components of the blood. Early transfusions
used whole blood, but modern medical practice
commonly uses only components of the blood, such
as red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, clotting
factors, and platelets.

Check for ABO blood group compatibility.
Check for Rhesus (Rh factor) compatibility.
Cross-match(individual tests):
By taking RBC from donor and plasma
from recipient. Agglutination must be absent.
Biological test :
Three times introducing donor’s blood in
small portions like -10-25 ml into the recipient
and check for any complaints or deviation of
physiological parameters.

Platelets in bone marrow, by budding off
from megakaryocytes.
Megakaryocyte and platelet production
is regulated by thrombopoietin, a
hormone usually produced by the liver
and kidneys.
Each megakaryocyte produces
between 5,000 and 10,000 platelets.

Around ₁₀11 platelets are produced
each day by an average healthy adult.
Reserve platelets are stored in the
spleen, and are released when needed
by sympathetically induced splenic
contraction.
Old platelets are destroyed
by phagocytosis in the spleen and
by Kupffer cells in the liver.

Haemostasis is a process which causes bleeding to stop, meaning to keep blood within a damaged blood vessel .
It is the first stage of wound healing. Most of the time this includes blood changing from a liquid to a solid state
The opposite of hemostasis is hemorrhage.
Hemostasis has three major steps:
Vasoconstriction,
Temporary blockage of a break by a platelet plug,
Blood coagulation, or formation of a clot that
seals the hole until tissues are repaired.
