Comprehensive Study Guide of Blood Composition, Function, and Disorders
Blood
Cardiovascular review
- The main transport system
- Consists of the heart and the blood vessels through which the blood
flows in the body
- Three types of blood vessels which blood flows: arteries, veins, and
capillaries
Function of the blood
1. Transportation: Hormones, CO2 and wastes, O2 and nutrients
2. Protection: clot formation against infection
3. Regulation: PH, Body temperature, fluid volume
Composition of Blood
Characteristics
• Scarlet = O2 rich, Dark red =O2 poor
• More dense, viscous than water
• PH 7.35-7.45, temperature 38C
• 8% body weight (5-6 liters in males, 4-5 liters in females)
Components
• The ONLY fluid tissues in the
body
• Erythrocytes (RBCs)
• Leucocytes (WBCs)
• Platelets
• Image is blood once
centrifuged
Blood Plasma
- 55% of whole blood
- 90% water
Composition of Plasma *TABLE
▪ Water
▪ Electrolytes
▪ Plasma proteins (Albumin,
Globulins, Fibrinogen)
▪ Nonprotein nitrogenous
, substances
▪ Nutrients (organic)
▪ Respiratory gases
▪ Hormones
, Which protein contribute most for plasma osmotic pressure?
Albumin is the plasma protein that contributes most to plasma osmotic
pressure (specifically colloid osmotic/oncotic pressure). As the most
abundant plasma protein (60% of total protein), it maintains fluid balance
by holding water inside blood vessels, preventing edema.
Summary of Formed Elements **
Leukocytes
- Only formed element that is a complete cell
- Function in defense against diseases , <1% of total blood volume
- Granulocytes contain visible cytoplasmic granules, phagocytic
- Agranulocytes lack visible cytoplasmic granules
- Types
