This document provides an overview of hematology and blood components. It defines hematology as the study of blood and describes the main components of blood including plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It then discusses key hematological parameters and how blood analysis can be used for disease diagnosis by identifying deviations from normal physiological values.
This presentation contain the information of the components structure and function and of the blood like ( RBC , WBC(Classifications ), Platelets , plasma )and its also Composition & Function
1) Coagulation of blood
2) Disorders of blood
Karl Landsteiner (June 14, 1868 – June 26, 1943).
Austrian biologist, physician, and immunologist.
Father of Transfusion Medicine .
In 1900 ,Karl Landsteiner found out that the blood of two people under contact agglutinates.
In 1901 ,he found that this effect was due to contact of blood with blood serum.
As a result, he succeeded in identifying the three blood group A,B,and O, which he labelled as C, of human blood.
Landsteiner also found out that blood transfusion between persons with the same blood group did not lead to the destruction of blood cells, whereas this occurred between persons of different blood groups

Blood its functions composition and Haemopoiesis.pptxBYeshwantRao
Blood is a vital fluid connective tissue in the body.
It delivers oxygen and nutrients to the organs and tissues while removing waste products.
Study of blood is called HAEMATOLOGY.
Blood makes up about 7% of the total body weight of an adult, with an average volume of about 5 liters in males and 4.5 liters in females.
Blood is constantly replenished through a process called Haematopoiesis, which occurs in the bone marrow.
This presentation is on the topic blood from circulatory system. The presentation can be used in anatomy & physiology for B.Sc Nursing and GNM students.
It is the liquid connective tissue. It is composed of an extracellular matrix called as blood plasma that dissolves and suspends various cells and cell fragments

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

coagulation, blood transfusion
practices and blood transfusion
reactions.
5. • Practical: Blood group typing, Cell

6. • Blood
• Specialized fluid tissue circulating
through vascular channels
• Carries compounds to all cells
• Receives waste products of
metabolism for transport to organs
of excretion
7. • Maintains haemostasis & defense
of body.
• Blood cells form in bone marrow
• Blood makes 7-8% of body weight
• Extracellular substances (plasma)
make 45-65% of blood
• Blood cells (called formed
elements) form 35-55%.
8. Haematology basis for
diagnosis
• Numerical values of all the
parameters in the blood are
kept within narrow
physiological limits in healthy
animals
9. • Blood parameter levels may are
altered in disease, increase above
or decrease below physiological
values
• Deviations from physiological
values of healthy animals allow
diagnosis of presence of disease
10. • Each disease changes blood values
in its own way, diagnosis is done by
blood analysis
• Common diseases detected by
blood analysis; blood parasites
(intracellular & extracellular),
helminthes, diseases affecting liver,
kidney, other organs, using
functional tests
11. Functions of blood
• Supply nutrients to cells & tissues
• Supply of oxygen to & removal of
CO2 from tissues & cells
• Remove breakdown products,
taking them to excretory organs
12. • Transport surplus metabolites to
storage organs
• Regulate water & electrolyte
metabolism
• Regulate body temperature
• Contain body's defenses against
foreign substances & pathogenic
organisms
13. • Blood is pumped from central
pumping organ Heart, in birds &
mammals divided into two halves
(double heart);
• Arterial part (left), carrying
oxygenated blood
• Venous (right) part with blood rich
in carbon dioxide
14. • Arterial & venous halves of
heart each consist of atrium &
ventricle, supplying separated
vascular systems;
• 1. Systemic (large) circulation
• 2. Pulmonary or small
circulation
16. Plasma; aqueous solution of
• Proteins (albumin, fibrinogen,
globulins) & blood sugar
• Inorganic substances, Na, K, Ca,
Mg ions, which maintain
chemico-physical properties of
blood. Bicarbonate & phosphate
ions buffer extreme high or low
pH (Co2, lactic acid).
17. • Final pH of blood is 7.4
• Lipids occur in fine suspension
• Plasma carries nutrients,
hormones, enzymes, antigens,
antibodies, & antitoxins for
neutralization of foreign
protein & bacterial toxins
18. • Blood clots as it leaves vessels, a
vital protective mechanism.
• Coagulation depends on ability of
fluid fibrinogen to interact with
thrombin & transform into a
delicate elastic network of fibrin
19. • Coagulation is initiated by
breakdown of thrombocytes,
involves 30 factors.
• Blood in container clots
unless anticoagulant is
added
20. • Coagulation; 1-2 min in birds,
10-15 pig, 10-20 in equine
• After clot cells are trapped in
fibrin, leave clear fluid called
serum, which contains
antibodies
21. • If blood is mixed with an
anticoagulant & left
undisturbed blood cells will
settle down
22. • The duration of the process is
called sedimentation rate (SR)
• Erythrocyte SR (ESR) is
diagnostic in equine, with large
red blood cells (RBC)
23. • That means mean corpuscular
volume (MCV) of > 30x1015 l
(30 femtolitres or 30 fl)
• ESR not diagnostic in small
ruminants (MCV < 30)
• The clear fluid remaining is
plasma
24. 2. BLOOD CELLS
• Blood cells are also called formed
elements of blood.
• Blood is fluid connective tissue having
cells (35-55% of blood) and
extracellular fluid intravascular (blood
plasma) (45-65% of blood)
• Total amount of blood in man is 5 L
(7‑8% bwt)
25. • Blood cells are;
• 1. Red blood cells or
erythrocytes
• 2. White blood cells or
leukocytes
• 3. Platelets or thrombocytes.
26. • Erythrocytes & platelets
functions in blood stream
• Leukocytes function temporarily in
blood & leave by walls of capillaries
& venules to settle in connective
tissues & lymphoid organs.
27. • Some leukocytes return to
the blood stream, but most
end their lives in tissues
28. • Platelets are not true cells in
higher vertebrates. They lack
nucleus as erythrocytes
• In fish, amphibians, reptiles &
birds platelets are nucleated
cells, called thrombocytes
29. • Leukocytes are eukaryotic cells
containing nucleus.
• Five types of leukocytes occur,
classified on basis of presence
or absence of intracytoplasmic
granules as granular & non-
granular (or agranular)
leukocytes
30. • Granular leukocytes further
subdivided according to
stainability of their cytoplasmic
granules into
• Neutrophilic
• Eosinophilic, &
• basophilic granulocytes
31. • Non-granular leukocytes comprise
monocytes and lymphocytes
• Leukocytes divided are also divided
on basis of shape of nucleus as
• 1. mononuclear (leukocyte with
non-lobed nucleus)
• 2. polymorphonuclear (leukocyte
with multi-lobed nucleus)
leukocytes
32. LYMPHOCYTES
• Lymphocytes play role in
reception of foreign molecules
processing & execution of
immune responses.
• Lymphocytes are heterogeneus
morphologically and functionally.
33. Morphological classification
• Classified as small (6-9μm) medium
sized and large (9–15 μm)

35. • When small lymphocytes are
activated these properties
reverse and the cells undergo
multiplication
(lymphoblastogenesis) in vivo
and in vitro.
36. Functional classification
• Lymphocytes are grouped on basis of
immune responses.
• Lymphocytes involved in cell
mediated immunity and
immunoregulatory functions are
called thymus derived, thymus –
dependent, thymus processed or T-
lymphocytes (T-cells).
37. • Lymphocytes concerned with
formation of humoral
antibodies are thymus
independent, bursa – derived
(in birds), bone marrow
derived (mammals) or B-
lymphocytes (B cells).
38. • Peripheral blood lymphocytes are 80 –
95% T and B types
• Lymphocytes that make 5-20% of
peripheral blood lymphocytes are non-
T, non- B or null cells. These have
different markers and functions.
39. • Many subpopulations of lymphocytes
are found in peripheral blood because
of production, release and
recirculation of lymphocytes at
different stages of maturation &
immunocompetence.

• The flow cytometer (fluorescent
activated cell sorter) is by far the
most accurate in computing lymphocyte
populations and sub-populations over
the rosetting methods.
61. • Flourescent antibody techniques using
antithymocyte antibody produce higher
results for T-lymphocytes that
rosetting methods.
• Peanut agglutinin (PNA) receptor is a
marker for cells in the thymic cortex
immature thymocytes – mice and man.
• It also marks bovine, ovine, caprine and
equine T-lymphocytes
62. • Surface Ig is a reliable marker for B
cells, but is labile and requires care
