Page 4: Components of Blood
Plasma (55%)
Fluid component of blood
Buffy Coat (<1%)
Contains leukocytes (white blood cells) and platelets
Erythrocytes (45%)
Red blood cells (RBCs)
Page 5: Plasma
Pale yellow color, primarily composed of water
Functions include:
Transporting nutrients, gases, hormones, ions, and waste products
Plasma proteins:
Albumin regulates fluid volume
Antibodies protect against pathogens
Clotting factors prevent excessive blood loss
Serum is plasma minus clotting proteins
Page 6: Hematopoiesis in Bone Marrow
Types of stem cells in blood formation:
Proerythroblast (RBC)
Myeloblast (Granulocytes)
Lymphoblast (Lymphocytes)
Monoblast (Monocytes)
Megakaryoblast (Platelets)
Overview: Blood cells originate from stem cells in the bone marrow
Page 7: Red Blood Cells - Erythrocytes
Characteristics:
Disc-shaped, no nucleus
Contain hemoglobin for oxygen transport
Lifespan: 120 days, recycled by spleen
Page 8: Life Cycle of RBCs
Increased production of RBCs triggered by:
Erythropoietin (hormone) from kidneys
Stimulates red bone marrow for RBC synthesis
Page 9: White Blood Cells - Leukocytes
5 types of WBCs, primary function:
Protect body from infections and harmful invaders
Migrate from blood to lymph tissue or infection sites
Page 10: Types of Leukocytes and Their Functions
Granulocytes:
Neutrophils (55-70%) - Phagocytosis
Eosinophils (1-3%) - Allergic responses
Basophils (0-1%) - Inflammatory responses and heparin release
Agranulocytes:
Lymphocytes (25-38%) - Immune response
Monocytes (3-8%) - Phagocytosis
Page 11: Platelets - Thrombocytes
Function:
Form platelet plugs in damaged blood vessels to initiate clot formation
Page 12: Application: Myelosuppression
Case Study: Bronson, 9 years old, undergoing chemotherapy:
Condition leading to decreased blood cell production
Associated conditions:
Anemia: fatigue from lack of oxygen
Leukopenia: increased infection risk
Thrombocytopenia: prolonged bleeding
Page 13: Hemostasis Overview
Definition of hemostasis
Importance in the prevention of blood loss
Page 14: Coagulation Cascade
Pathways:
Intrinsic pathway activated by damaged surfaces
Extrinsic pathway initiated by tissue factor
Common pathway:
Converts prothrombin to thrombin, leading to fibrin formation
Page 15: Blood Coagulation Stages
Stage I: Injury to vessel leads to platelet activation
Stage II: Prothrombin (II) activation
Stage III: Conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin that forms a blood clot
Page 16: Practice: Blood Clotting Stages
Injury causes bleeding
Blood vessel muscles spasm
Platelets adhere to tissue
Prothrombin activator forms
Thrombin activates fibrinogen
Clotting factors are activated
Fibrin mesh traps RBCs
Page 17: Blood Groups Overview
Blood types include A+, B+, AB+, A-, B-, AB-, O+, O-
Page 18: RBC Antibodies and Antigens
Group A: A antigen, Anti-B antibodies
Group B: B antigen, Anti-A antibodies
Group AB: A and B antigens, no antibodies
Group O: No antigens, Anti-A and Anti-B antibodies
Page 19: Application: Blood Donor Compatibility
Compatibility based on blood group antigens and antibodies
Transfusion safety considerations
Page 20: Rh Typing
Rh positive: if RBCs have Rh antigen
Rh negative: if RBCs lack Rh antigen
Page 21: Incompatibility of Blood Types
Effects of mixing incompatible blood types
Risk of agglutination and hemolysis
Page 22: Respiratory System Introduction
Overview of the respiratory system and its significance
Page 23: Functions of the Respiratory System
Provides oxygen to the body
Removes carbon dioxide
Maintains pH balance
Page 24: Structures of the Respiratory System
Upper respiratory tract: Organs outside the chest cavity
Lower respiratory tract: Organs inside the chest cavity
Page 25: Lung Elasticity
Elastic tissue stretches during inhalation and recoils during exhalation
Importance of elasticity for lung function
Page 26: Surfactant Functionality
Surfactants reduce surface tension in alveoli, preventing collapse
Page 27: Pleural Membranes
Parietal pleura: Lines chest cavity
Visceral pleura: Covers lungs
Intrapleural space: Contains pleural fluid, reducing friction

Page 30: Steps in Respiration
Ventilation: Inhalation and exhalation
Gas exchange: At lungs and tissue levels
Transport of gases: Via bloodstream
Page 31: Inspiration and Expiration Mechanism

Page 32: Lung Volumes
Definitions of lung volumes:
Tidal volume: Air moved in one breath
Tidal Volume; Air moved in one breath
Insipiratroy reserve volume: forceful inhalation
iExpiratiory reserve volume: forceful exhalation
residual volue: Air remaining after exhalation
Inspiratory reserve volume: Forceful inhalation
Expiratory reserve volume: Forceful exhalation
Residual volume: Air remaining after exhalation
