Blood is a specialized bodily fluid (technically a tissue). Blood pumped by the heart that circulates throughout the body via the arteries, veins, and capillaries. Red blood cells slide.

Nero 7 Premium Serial Number. Title: Blood 1 Blood • Chapter 12 • Bio160 2 Blood Composition • Red blood cells • White blood cells • Platelets • Plasma 3 Red Blood Cells • Red blood cells (Erythrocytes) Biconcave disks that contain oxygen-carrying hemoglobin When oxygen combines with hemoglobin bright red oxyhemoglobin results whereas deoxygenated blood (deoxyhemoglobin) is darker. 4 Red Blood Cells Red blood cells discard their nuclei during development and so cannot reproduce or produce proteins. The number of red blood cells is a measure of the blood's oxygen-carrying capacity. 5 Red Blood Cells • Red blood cell production In the embryo and fetus, red blood cell production occurs in the yolk sac, liver, and spleen after birth, it occurs in the red bone marrow. The average life span of a red blood cell is 120 days. 6 Red Blood Cells The total number of red blood cells remains relatively constant due to a negative feedback mechanism utilizing the hormone erythropoietin, which is released from the kidneys and liver in response to the detection of low oxygen levels.

7 Red Blood Cells Vitamins B12, folic acid and iron are needed for red blood cell production A deficiency in red blood cells or quantity of hemoglobin results in anemia. 8 Red Blood Cells • Red blood cell destruction With age, red blood cells become increasingly fragile and are damaged by passing through narrow capillaries. Macrophages in the liver and spleen phagocytize damaged red blood cells.

Heme is decomposed into iron, which is stored or recycled, and biliverdin and bilirubin, which are excreted in bile. 10 White Blood Cells • White blood cells (Leukocytes) Defend the body from disease. They are formed from hemocytoblasts. Leukocytes can squeeze between cells lining walls of blood vessels by diapedesis and attack bacteria and debris. 11 White Blood Cells • Neutrophils Have red-staining fine cytoplasmic granules and a multilobed nucleus they comprise 54-62 of leukocytes. They are phagocytic.

12 White Blood Cells • Eosinophils Have coarse granules that stain deep red, a bilobed nucleus, and make up only 1-3 of circulating leukocytes. Eosinophils moderate allergic reactions as well as defend against parasitic infections. 13 White Blood Cells • Basophils Have fewer granules that stain blue they account for fewer than 1 of leukocytes. Basophils migrate to damaged tissues and release histamine to promote inflammation and heparin to inhibit blood clotting. 14 White Blood Cells • Monocytes The largest blood cells, have variably shaped nuclei, and make up 3-9 of circulating leukocytes. They are phagocytic, engulfing large particles. 15 White Blood Cells • Lymphocytes Long-lived, have a large, round nucleus, and account for 25-33 of circulating leukocytes.
