SECTION 19-1 The Cardiovascular System: An Introduction
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Provides a mechanism for rapid transport of nutrients, waste products, respiratory gases and cells
The cardiovascular system

SECTION 19-2Functions and Composition of Blood
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Fluid connective tissue
• Functions include
• Transporting dissolved gases, nutrients, hormones, and metabolic wastes
• Regulating pH and ion composition of interstitial fluids
• Restricting fluid loss at injury sites
• Defending the body against toxins and pathogens
• Regulating body temperature by absorbing and redistributing heat
Blood

The composition of blood
• Plasma and formed elements comprise whole blood
• Red blood cells (RBC)
• White blood cells (WBC)
• Platelets
• Can fractionate whole blood for analytical or clinical purposes

• Process of blood cell formation
• Hemocytoblasts are circulating stem cells that divide to form all types of blood cells
• Whole blood from anywhere in the body has roughly the same temperature, pH and viscosity
Hemopoiesis

SECTION 19-3Plasma
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Accounts for 46-63% of blood volume
• 92% of plasma is water
• Higher concentration of dissolved oxygen and dissolved proteins than interstitial fluid
Plasma
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• more than 90% are synthesized in the liver
• Albumins
• 60% of plasma proteins
• Responsible for viscosity and osmotic pressure of blood
Plasma proteins
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Globulins
• ~35% of plasma proteins
• Include immunoglobins which attack foreign proteins and pathogens
• Include transport globulins which bind ions, hormones and other compounds
• Fibrinogen
• Converted to fibrin during clotting
• Removal of fibrinogen leaves serum
Additional Plasma Proteins

SECTION 19-4Red Blood Cells
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Erythrocytes account for slightly less than half the blood volume, and 99.9% of the formed elements
• Hematocrit measures the percentage of whole blood occupied by formed elements
• Commonly referred to as the volume of packed red cells
Abundance of RBCs
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Biconcave disc, providing a large surface to volume ration
• Shape allows RBCs to stack, bend and flex
• RBCs lack organelles
• Typically degenerate in about 120 days.
Structure of RBCs
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 19.2
Figure 19.2 The Anatomy of Red Blood Cells
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Molecules of hemoglobin account for 95% of the proteins in RBCs
• Hemoglobin is a globular protein, formed from two pairs of polypeptide subunits
• Each subunit contains a molecule of heme which reversibly binds an oxygen molecule
• Damaged or dead RBCs are recycled by phagocytes
Hemoglobin

Figure 19.4 “Sickling” in Red Blood Cells
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Replaced at a rate of approximately 3 million new blood cells entering the circulation per second.
• Replaced before they hemolyze
• Components of hemoglobin individually recycled
• Heme stripped of iron and converted to biliverdin, then bilirubin
• Iron is recycled by being stored in phagocytes, or transported throughout the blood stream bound to transferrin

• Erythropoeisis = the formation of new red blood cells
• Occurs in red bone marrow
• Process speeds up with in the presence of EPO (Erythropoeisis stimulating hormone)
• RBCs pass through reticulocyte and erythroblast stages
RBC Production

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Determined by the presence or absence of surface antigens (agglutinogens)
• Antigens A, B and Rh (D)
• Antibodies in the plasma (agglutinins)
• Cross-reactions occur when antigens meet antibodies
Blood types

SECTION 19-5The White Blood Cells
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Have nuclei and other organelles
• Defend the body against pathogens
• Remove toxins, wastes, and abnormal or damaged cells
• Are capable of amoeboid movement (margination) and positive chemotaxis
• Some are capable of phagocytosis
Leukocytes
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Granular leukocytes
• Neutrophils – 50 to 70 % total WBC population
• Eosinophils – phagocytes attracted to foreign compounds that have reacted with antibodies
• Basophils – migrate to damaged tissue and release histamine and heparin
Types of WBC
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Agranular leukocytes
• Monocytes - become macrophage
• Lymphocytes – includes T cells, B cells, and NK cells
Types of WBC
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 19.11
Figure 19.11 White Blood Cells
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Indicates a number of disorders
• Leukemia = inordinate number of leukocytes
Differential count
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Granulocytes and monocytes are produced by bone marrow stem cells
• Divide to create progenitor cells
• Stem cells may originate in bone marrow and migrate to peripheral tissues
• Several colony stimulating factors are involved in regulation and control of production

SECTION 19-6Platelets
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Flattened discs
• Circulate for 9-12 days before being removed by phagocytes
Platelets
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Transporting chemicals important to clotting
• Forming temporary patch in walls of damaged blood vessels
• Contracting after a clot has formed
Platelet functions
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Megakaryocytes release platelets into circulating blood
• Rate of platelet formation is stimulated by thrombopoietin, thrombocyte-stimulating factor, interleukin-6, and Multi-CSF
Platelet production (thrombocytopoiesis)

SECTION 19-7Hemostasis
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Hemostasis
• Prevents the loss of blood through vessel walls
• Three phases –
• Vascular phase
• Platelet phase
• Coagulation phase
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Hemostasis
• Vascular phase
• Local blood vessel constriction (vascular spasm)
• Platelet phase
• Platelets are activated, aggregate at the site, adhere to the damaged surfaces
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 19.13
Figure 19.13 The Vascular and Platelet Phases of Hemostasis
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Coagulation phase
• Factors released by platelets and endothelial cells interact with clotting factors to form a clot
• Extrinsic pathway
• Intrinsic pathway
• Common pathway
• Suspended fibrinogen is converted to large insoluble fibrin fibers

Clot retraction
• Final phase of healing
• Platelets contract and pull the edges of the vessel together
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Fibrinolysis
• Clot gradually dissolves through action of plasmin
• Activated form of plasminogen
• Clotting can be prevented through the use of drugs that depress the clotting response or dissolve existing clots
• Anticoagulants include heparin, coumadin, aspirin, dicumarol, t- PA, streptokinase, and urokinase
