Human Blood
The Components
Unit 3 Transportation &
Respiration
• Blood is a highly specialized tissue
composed of many different kinds of
components produced in bone marrow.
• Four of the most important ones are red
cells, white cells, platelets, and plasma.
• All humans produce these blood
components--there are no populational
or regional differences.
Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration
Blood
Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration
Blood
• Red cells, or erythrocytes, are relatively large
cells that normally make up 40-50% of the
total blood volume.
• They transport oxygen from the lungs to all of
the living tissues of the body and carry away
carbon dioxide.
• Hemoglobin is the gas transporting protein
molecule that makes up 95% of a red cell.
Each red cell has about 270,000,000
hemoglobin molecules.
• Erythrocytes have no nucleus.
• Erythrocytes have about a 12 week life span
Red Blood Cells

Red Blood Cells
Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration
Red Blood Cells
• White cells, or leukocytes, exist in variable
numbers and types but make up a very small
part of blood's volume.
• Some white cells provide a physiological
defense against disease and infection. As a
result, their numbers increase when the body
is under attack by bacteria and viruses.
• Some other types of white cells have the
function of getting rid of old, unneeded blood
cells.
• Leukocytes belong to two main groups;
agranulocytes and granulocytes.
Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration
White Blood Cells
• Agranulocytes are cells that are non-
granular and are produced in the
lymph tissue and make up about 28%
of white cells.
• Monocytes and lymphocytes are
example of agranulocytes.
• Monocytes make up about 3-8% and
are actively phagocytic.
Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration
Agranulocytes
• Lymphocytes comprise about
20-25% of white cells and are
involved in the development
of immunity. They initiate
antibody production.
Agranulocytes
Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration
• Granulocytes can be grouped into
3 types; neutrophils, basophils,
and eosinophils, and make up
about 72% of white blood cells.
• Neutrophils make up about 65% of
white cells. They are actively
phagocytic.
Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration
Granulocytes
• Eosinophils make up about 2-
4% of white cells and are
moderately phagocytic.
• Basophils make up only
approximately 0.5% of white
cells
• Granulocytes have irregularly
shaped, lobed nuclei.
• They are produced in the bone
marrow.
Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration
Granulocytes
Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration
White Blood Cells
• Platelets, or thrombocytes, are cells that
are irregularly shaped and are originally
fragments of the cytoplasm.
• Their function is to clot blood at the site
of wounds. They do this by adhering to
the walls of blood vessels, thereby
plugging the rupture in the vascular
wall.
• They also release coagulating
chemicals which help to form clots that
can plug up narrowed blood vessels.
• Individual platelets are about 1/3 the
size of red cells.

Platelets
Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration
Platelets
• Blood plasma is the yellowish,
thick fluid component of the blood.
Plasma makes up about 55% of
the volume of blood. The
remaining 45% of the blood is
composed of cells. Plasma is 90%
water and 10% dissolved
materials including proteins,
dissolved food, enzymes,
vitamins, hormones, antibodies,
waste products, inorganic salts,
and gases.
Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration
Plasma
• The blood proteins are of four
types:
1.Albumin - made in the liver and
is important in maintaining blood
pressure.
2.Globulins - used in the body's
defense against disease.
3.Fibrinogen - necessary for
blood clotting.
4.Prothrombin - necessary for
blood clotting

Blood Vessels
• Overview
• Arteries (and arterioles)
• Carry blood away from the heart to the capillaries
• Capillaries
• Exchange of substances between tissues and blood
• Veins (and venules)
• Carry blood to the heart
• Blood vessels require oxygen and nutrients like all tissues
• Larger ones have blood supplies of their own
Blood Vessels
Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration
Blood Vessels
Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration
• Walls have 3 layers
• Innermost-endothelium
• Simple squamous epithelium with
basement membrane
• Middle layer- thickest
• Smooth muscle for regulation of diameter
• Elastic connective tissue in larger arteries
• Outer layer
• Fibrous connective tissue
• Largest artery is the aorta
• Arteries branch into the smaller arterioles
• Middle layer of wall is mostly smooth muscle
• Important in control of blood pressure
Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration
Arteries
Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration
Arteries
• Join arterioles to venules
• Walls consist of single layer of endothelium
• Allows for exchange of substances
• Oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, wastes
• Total surface area of capillary beds in body is
6000 square meters!
• Not all capillary beds are open at any one time
• Each has an arteriovenous shunt which allows
capillaries to be bypassed
Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration
Capillaries
Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration
Capillaries
• Veins have less developed muscle and
connective tissue layers than arteries
• Tend to be distensible
• Can expand to “store” blood
• Up to 70% of blood is in venous side of
the circulation at any one time
• Veins have valves
• Prevent backflow of blood
• Skeletal muscle action squeezes blood
upward through valves
• Largest veins are the vena cavae
Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration
Veins
Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration
Veins
Arteries and veins
have three layers In
their walls.
Connective tissue
composes the tunica
externa or the outer
layer, smooth muscle
and elastic tissue
composes the tunica media or the middle layer, and the
smooth tunica interna or the inner lining is composed of
endothelium. Veins have valves to keep blood flowing in the
correct direction. Capillaries have walls that are the thickness
of only one endothelial cell; this permits diffusion to occur
across the wall.
Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration
Vessel Comparison
Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration
• Your arteries carry blood away
from the heart. Oxygenated
blood is pumped out of the
heart through the body's main
artery--the aorta. Arteries that
branch off the aorta transport
blood throughout the body,
supplying tissues with oxygen
and nutrients.
Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration
Arterial System
Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration
Arterial System
• Your veins carry blood back
toward the heart. Tiny vessels
called capillaries in organs and
tissues of the body deliver
deoxygenated blood into small
veins called venules, which join
to form veins. Blood flows
through the veins to the body's
2 main veins (called the vena
cavae), which deliver the blood
back into the heart.

Blood

  • 1.
  • 2. Human Blood The Components Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration
  • 3. • Blood is a highly specialized tissue composed of many different kinds of components produced in bone marrow. • Four of the most important ones are red cells, white cells, platelets, and plasma. • All humans produce these blood components--there are no populational or regional differences. Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration Blood
  • 4.
  • 5. Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration Blood
  • 6. • Red cells, or erythrocytes, are relatively large cells that normally make up 40-50% of the total blood volume. • They transport oxygen from the lungs to all of the living tissues of the body and carry away carbon dioxide. • Hemoglobin is the gas transporting protein molecule that makes up 95% of a red cell. Each red cell has about 270,000,000 hemoglobin molecules. • Erythrocytes have no nucleus. • Erythrocytes have about a 12 week life span Red Blood Cells Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration

  • 8. Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration Red Blood Cells
  • 9. • White cells, or leukocytes, exist in variable numbers and types but make up a very small part of blood's volume. • Some white cells provide a physiological defense against disease and infection. As a result, their numbers increase when the body is under attack by bacteria and viruses. • Some other types of white cells have the function of getting rid of old, unneeded blood cells. • Leukocytes belong to two main groups; agranulocytes and granulocytes. Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration White Blood Cells
  • 10. • Agranulocytes are cells that are non- granular and are produced in the lymph tissue and make up about 28% of white cells. • Monocytes and lymphocytes are example of agranulocytes. • Monocytes make up about 3-8% and are actively phagocytic. Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration Agranulocytes
  • 11. • Lymphocytes comprise about 20-25% of white cells and are involved in the development of immunity. They initiate antibody production. Agranulocytes Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration
  • 12. • Granulocytes can be grouped into 3 types; neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils, and make up about 72% of white blood cells. • Neutrophils make up about 65% of white cells. They are actively phagocytic. Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration Granulocytes
  • 13. • Eosinophils make up about 2- 4% of white cells and are moderately phagocytic. • Basophils make up only approximately 0.5% of white cells • Granulocytes have irregularly shaped, lobed nuclei. • They are produced in the bone marrow. Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration Granulocytes
  • 14. Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration White Blood Cells
  • 15. • Platelets, or thrombocytes, are cells that are irregularly shaped and are originally fragments of the cytoplasm. • Their function is to clot blood at the site of wounds. They do this by adhering to the walls of blood vessels, thereby plugging the rupture in the vascular wall. • They also release coagulating chemicals which help to form clots that can plug up narrowed blood vessels. • Individual platelets are about 1/3 the size of red cells. Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration Platelets
  • 16. Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration Platelets
  • 17. Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration Platelets
  • 18. • Blood plasma is the yellowish, thick fluid component of the blood. Plasma makes up about 55% of the volume of blood. The remaining 45% of the blood is composed of cells. Plasma is 90% water and 10% dissolved materials including proteins, dissolved food, enzymes, vitamins, hormones, antibodies, waste products, inorganic salts, and gases. Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration Plasma
  • 19. • The blood proteins are of four types: 1.Albumin - made in the liver and is important in maintaining blood pressure. 2.Globulins - used in the body's defense against disease. 3.Fibrinogen - necessary for blood clotting. 4.Prothrombin - necessary for blood clotting Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration Plasma

  • 26. Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration Blood Vessels
  • 27. • Overview • Arteries (and arterioles) • Carry blood away from the heart to the capillaries • Capillaries • Exchange of substances between tissues and blood • Veins (and venules) • Carry blood to the heart • Blood vessels require oxygen and nutrients like all tissues • Larger ones have blood supplies of their own Blood Vessels Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration
  • 28. Blood Vessels Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration
  • 29. • Walls have 3 layers • Innermost-endothelium • Simple squamous epithelium with basement membrane • Middle layer- thickest • Smooth muscle for regulation of diameter • Elastic connective tissue in larger arteries • Outer layer • Fibrous connective tissue • Largest artery is the aorta • Arteries branch into the smaller arterioles • Middle layer of wall is mostly smooth muscle • Important in control of blood pressure Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration Arteries
  • 30. Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration Arteries
  • 31. • Join arterioles to venules • Walls consist of single layer of endothelium • Allows for exchange of substances • Oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, wastes • Total surface area of capillary beds in body is 6000 square meters! • Not all capillary beds are open at any one time • Each has an arteriovenous shunt which allows capillaries to be bypassed Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration Capillaries
  • 32. Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration Capillaries
  • 33. • Veins have less developed muscle and connective tissue layers than arteries • Tend to be distensible • Can expand to “store” blood • Up to 70% of blood is in venous side of the circulation at any one time • Veins have valves • Prevent backflow of blood • Skeletal muscle action squeezes blood upward through valves • Largest veins are the vena cavae Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration Veins
  • 34. Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration Veins
  • 35. Arteries and veins have three layers In their walls. Connective tissue composes the tunica externa or the outer layer, smooth muscle and elastic tissue composes the tunica media or the middle layer, and the smooth tunica interna or the inner lining is composed of endothelium. Veins have valves to keep blood flowing in the correct direction. Capillaries have walls that are the thickness of only one endothelial cell; this permits diffusion to occur across the wall. Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration Vessel Comparison
  • 36. Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration
  • 37. • Your arteries carry blood away from the heart. Oxygenated blood is pumped out of the heart through the body's main artery--the aorta. Arteries that branch off the aorta transport blood throughout the body, supplying tissues with oxygen and nutrients. Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration Arterial System
  • 38. Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration Arterial System
  • 39. • Your veins carry blood back toward the heart. Tiny vessels called capillaries in organs and tissues of the body deliver deoxygenated blood into small veins called venules, which join to form veins. Blood flows through the veins to the body's 2 main veins (called the vena cavae), which deliver the blood back into the heart. Unit 3 Transportation & Respiration Venous System
