,Purpose of the hematologic -blood formation
system -transport of O2, CO2, metabolites, nutrients
and hormones
-involved in immune reactions
-hemostasis
-acid-base balance
-fluid balance
-temperature regulation
,components of the hematologic -blood (solids-RBCs, WBCs, thrombocytes
system and liquid-plasma)
-bone marrow (RBCs, WBCs and platelets are
formed here)
-liver (produces prothrombin and other
clotting factors such as Vit K formation, stores
RBCs and extra iron/ferritin)
-spleen (major antibody production site.
Those w/o a spleen are at an increased risk
for infection).
-lymphatic system
-kidneys
*This system includes all organs that make
blood or store blood
, hematological system labs -Vitamin B12, iron and copper (needed for
RBC production)
-RBC normal values= 4.6-6.3x106/mm3 M and
4.2-5.4x106/mm3
-reticulocytes (baby RBCs)
-H&H (Hemoglobin carries O2 t/o the body.
M 14-18 and F 12-16. Hematocrit is the % of
your blood volume that is RBCs. Usually 42-
52% M and 37-47% F).
-iron (this is needed to form hemoglobin,
binds with transferrin and is absorbed in the
small intestine)
-TIBC (total iron binding capacity) and ferritin:
determines how much iron is stored in the
body
-WBC (neutrophils, basophils and eosinophils)
-platelets: should be 105,000-400,000. 20%
are stored in the spleen, short lifespan and
function is to decrease blood loss by clotting.
