INTRODUCTION TO BLOOD
& BLOOD VESSELSDR ZAHOOR ALI SHAIKH
LECTURE ----6
2
BLOOD
Blood transports O2, nutrients to tissues and CO2 to lungs and other products of metabolism to kidneys.
3
BLOOD VOLUME Blood Volume: - Men - 5.5 LITERS - Women - 5 LITERS
4
BLOOD COMPOSITION Blood Composition Blood consists of liquid PLASMA , in
which cellular elements are present. Cellular Elements are -- Red Blood Cells(RBC) or
Erythrocytes -- White Blood Cells (WBC) or
Leukocytes -- Platelets or Thrombocyte
5
Normal Values Normal Value
Red Blood Cell [RBC] – 5 millions / mm3 Hemoglobin [Hb] – 15 gm / dl White Blood Cell [WBC] – 4000-11000/mm3 Platelet – 150,000-400,000 /mm3
6
BLOOD In Blood we have - Plasma – 55% ( 3 liters). - Cells – 45%
Packed cell volume is called ‘Hemotocrit’. In Hemotocrit, most of the cells are RBC.

8
BLOOD We will discuss:
Plasma RBC or Erythrocyte WBC or Leukocyte Platelets or Thrombocyte
9
PLASMA Plasma is transport medium for inorganic and organic
substances. Plasma Composition: - Water – 90% - Electrolytes [1%]– mainly Na+, Cl-, K+, HCO3-, Ca2+ - Plasma protein [6-8%] - Organic Substances - Glucose, Amino acids, Lipids,
Vitamins - Waste products – urea, creatinine - Dissolved gases – O2 and CO2 - Hormones
10
Plasma Protein Plasma protein present are: - Albumin – helps in transport of substances - Globulin i. Alpha Globulin – blood clotting factors ii. Beta Globulin – blood clotting factors iii. Gamma Globulin – for defense of body - Fibrinogen – helps in blood clotting Most of the plasma protein are synthesized
in liver.
11
RED BLOOD CELL [RBC] RBC have hemoglobin inside which
transports O2. RBC are biconcave disc. RBC diameter – 8 um RBC life span – 120 days
12
WHITE BLOOD CELL [WBC]
WBC work as mobile defense units and are transported in the blood to the site of infection.
WBC work as immune system also.
13
DIFFERENT TYPES OF WBC & THEIR FUNCTIONS
WBC FUNCTION1. Neutrophil (60-70%) Phagocytosis (engulf
bacteria)2. Eosinophil (1-4%) Important in allergic
reactions3. Basophil (0.5-1%) Important in allergic
reactions and have heparin
4. Lymphocytes (25-33%)
For immunity
5. Monocyte (2-8%) Tissue macrophage
14
15
PLATELETS or THROMBOCYTES
Platelets are important for hemostasis i.e. they prevent blood loose from damaged blood vessels.
16
17
CLINICAL APPLICATION Anemia – decrease in RBC & Hb Polycythemia – increase in RBC & Hb Leukocytosis – increase in WBC count
(more than 11,000 /mm3 Leukopenia – decrease in WBC count (less
than 4000 /mm3 Thrombocytosis – increase in platelet count Thrombocytopenia – decrease in platelet
count
18
BLOOD VESSELS
19
BLOOD VESSELS Blood is transported to all parts of the
body through blood vessels to supply O2, nutrition and remove the waste products e.g. CO2, Urea.
Oxygenated blood is pumped by left ventricle to Aorta and goes to blood vessels to supply oxygen and nutrition to body.
Blood is returned to right side of the heart as Deoxygenated blood through veins.
20
BLOOD VESSELS (cont) The vascular tree consists of: 1. Arteries 2. Arterioles 3. Capillaries 4. Venules 5. Veins
21
ARTERIES Large arteries act as pressure reservoir. Has thick, highly elastic wall. Has elastic fibers in the wall. Has large radius. Take blood from heart to the organs.
22
ARTERIOLES Arterioles are highly muscular (smooth
muscle). Have small radius. Are major resistance vessels. Have no elastic fiber.
23
CAPILLARIES Capillaries are thin walled, have
endothelial lining only between blood and tissues.
Are exchange vessels. Bring blood within reach of every cell. 10 billions in number.
24
Veins Veins are thin walled as compared to
arteries. Bring blood to heart. Act as blood reservoir (65% of blood
is in veins). As they can store blood, they are called
‘CAPACITANCE VESSELS’.

27
‘USEFUL INFORMATION’ Normal Pulse Rate – 72 beats/min (range 60-100 beats/min) Normal Blood Pressure (BP) – 120/80 mmHg (range for systolic BP – 100-140 mmHg) (range for diastolic BP – 60-90 mmHg) Hypertension (high blood pressure) – when
BP is above 140/90 mmHg. Hypotension (low blood pressure) – when
BP is below 100/60 mmHg.
