Overview: Structures and Functions • Hematology
•Study of blood and blood-forming tissues• Bone marrow• Blood• Spleen • Lymph system
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Structures and Functions • Hematopoiesis: Blood cell production•Occurs within the bone marrow•Bone marrow produces red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets.
•Three types of cells develop from nondifferentiated immature blood cells in the bone marrow, called stem cells.Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

Structures and Functions • Bone marrow
•Soft material that fills the central core of bones
•Two types of bone marrow• Yellow: Adipose• Red: Hematopoietic
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Structures and Functions • Red marrow
•Produces blood cells•In adults, found in flat and irregular bones such as the ends of long bones, vertebrae, sacrum, sternum, ribs, flat cranial bones, and scapulae

Structures and Functions • Blood cells make up 45% of blood.•Erythrocytes (RBCs)
• Oxygen transportation•Leukocytes (WBCs)
• Protection from infection•Thrombocytes (platelets)
• Promote coagulationCopyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Structures and Functions • Erythrocytes (RBCs)
•Transport O2 and CO2• Hemoglobin = iron + protein• Oxyhemoglobin = O2 + iron
•Help maintain acid-base balance
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Structures and Functions • Erythropoiesis
•Stimulated by hypoxia•Controlled by erythropoietin•Influenced by nutrient availability• Reticulocytes mature into RBCs and are a good indication of production rates.
• Hemolysis removes abnormal, defective, damaged, and old RBCs from circulation.

Types and Functions of Leukocytes
TYPE CELL FUNCTIONGranulocytes Neutrophil Phagocytosis, early phase of inflammationEosinophil Phagocytosis, parasitic infection Basophil Inflammatory response, allergic response
AgranulocytesLymphocyte Cellular, humoral immune response Monocyte Phagocytosis, cellular immune response
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Leukocytes • Granulocytes: Contain granules within the cytoplasm•Neutrophils: Most common form, with 50% to 70% of all leukocytes being neutrophils
•Eosinophils: Only 2% to 4% of all leukocytes
•Basophils: Less than 2% of all leukocytes
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Leukocytes• Agranulocytes: Do not contain granules within the cytoplasm and are also called mononuclear cells because they have one discrete nucleus•Lymphocytes: Make up 20% to 40% of leukocytes
•Monocytes: Account for approximately 4% to 8% of all leukocytes
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Leukocytes • Granulocytes
•Neutrophils• Primary function is phagocytosis• Primary phagocytic cells involved in acute inflammatory response
• Mature neutrophil is segmented (“seg”), with multiple segments in its nucleus
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Leukocytes• Granulocytes
•Neutrophils• Immature neutrophils are called bands (for the nonsegmented appearance of the nucleus).
• Mature neutrophils are more efficient phagocytes than bands.
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Leukocytes
Normal segmented neutrophil.
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Leukocytes
Three bands and one mature segmented neutrophil.Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Leukocytes• Granulocytes
•Neutrophils• First at site of infection• An increase in percent of bands is called a shift to the left, meaning the bone marrow is releasing less-mature cells into circulation in response to a site of injury (increased in acute infection and inflammation).
• Life span: 2 to 14 daysCopyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Leukocytes• Granulocytes
•Eosinophils• Account for only 2% to 4% of all WBCs
• Have a reduced ability for phagocytosis compared with neutrophils
• Granules contain histamine.• Engulf antigen-antibody complexes formed during an allergic response
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Leukocytes• Granulocytes
•Eosinophils• Defend against parasites• Found in large numbers in lungs and GI tract

Leukocytes• Granulocytes
•Basophils • Make up less than 2% of all leukocytes
• Limited role in phagocytosis • Have cytoplasmic granules that contain heparin, serotonin, and histamine
• When stimulated by an antigen, basophils release their granules.

Leukocytes• Agranulocytes
•Lymphocytes• Form the basis of cellular and humoral immune responses
• Two subtypes of lymphocytes are B cells and T cells.
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Leukocytes• Agranulocytes
•Monocytes• Potent phagocytic cells • Second type of cell to arrive at site of injury
• When monocytes migrate into tissue, they become macrophages.

Leukocytes• Macrophages: Monocytes that have migrated into tissue•Resident macrophages
• Called Kupffer cells when in liver• Called osteoclasts when in bone• Called alveolar macrophages when in lung
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Thrombocytes (Platelets)• Initiate the clotting process, plug openings in the capillary wall, and play a role in clot shrinkage and retraction
• Stem cells transform into a megakaryocyte which fragments into platelets.•Partially regulated by thrombopoietinCopyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

Hemostasis• The arrest of bleeding
•Vascular response•Platelet plug formation•Development of the fibrin clot on the platelet plug by plasma clotting factors
•Ultimate lysis of the clot
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Hemostasis• Vascular response
•Immediate local vasoconstrictive response of injured blood vessels• Reduces leakage of blood from the injured vessel by reducing vessel size
• Vasoconstriction gives time for platelet response and plasma clotting factors to be triggered.
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Hemostasis• Platelet plug formation
•Activated by exposure to interstitial collagen from the injured blood vessel
•Platelet stickiness is called adhesiveness.
•Formation of clumps is termed aggregation or agglutination.
•Platelets facilitate the reactions of the plasma clotting factors.Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Coagulation Mechanism
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Hemostasis• Plasma clotting factors
•Form a visible fibrin clot on the platelet plug
•Are labeled with both names and Roman numerals
•Are always present in circulation in inactive forms until stimulated to initiate clotting through one of two pathwaysCopyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Hemostasis• Plasma clotting factors
•Two pathways of clotting• Intrinsic pathway is activated by collagen exposure.
• Extrinsic pathway is initiated when tissue factor or tissue thromboplastin is released from injured tissue.
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Hemostasis• Plasma clotting factors
•Thrombin is the most powerful enzyme in the coagulation process because it converts fibrinogen to fibrin, an essential component of a blood clot.
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Hemostasis• Lysis of clot
•Anticoagulation, the reverse of clotting, helps keep blood fluid.
•Anticoagulation occurs by two means.• Antithrombins: Interfere with thrombin
• Fibrinolysis: Process that results in dissolution of the fibrin clot
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Fibrinolytic System
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Spleen• Located in the upper left quadrant next to kidney
• Functions can be classified as•Hematopoietic: Able to produce RBCs during fetal development
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Spleen• Functions
•Filtration• Removes old and damaged RBCs from circulation
• Removes hemoglobin from RBCs and returns iron component to the bone marrow for reuse
• Filters out bacteria, especially encapsulated organisms
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Spleen• Functions
•Immunologic: Contains a rich supply of lymphocytes, monocytes, and stored immune globulins
•Storage: Stores RBCs and approximately 30% of total mass of platelets
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Lymph System• Consists of
•Lymph fluid•Lymphatic capillaries•Lymphatic ducts•Lymph nodes
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Lymph System• Protein and fat from the GI tract and certain hormones are returned to circulatory system.
• Returns excess interstitial fluid to the blood to prevent or reduce edema
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Lymph System• Lymph fluid
•Pale yellow interstitial fluid that has diffused through capillary walls
•Circulates through special vasculature
•Too much interstitial fluid or reduced absorption leads to lymphedema. • May occur as a complication of mastectomy or lumpectomy
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Lymph System• Lymphatic capillaries
•Thin-walled vessels with irregular diameter
•Larger than blood capillaries but without valves
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Lymph Drainage System
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Lymph System• Lymphatic capillaries
•Unite to form lymphatic vessels that carry all lymph fluid to the right lymphatic duct or the thoracic duct
•These larger vessels drain into subclavian veins in the neck.
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Lymph System• Lymph nodes
•Small clumps of lymphatic tissue found in groups along lymph vessels at various sites
•More than 200 lymph nodes throughout the body
•Largest concentration of lymph nodes is in the abdomen surrounding the GI tract.
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Lymph System• Lymph nodes
•Primary function is filtration of pathogens and foreign particles carried by lymph fluid.
•Located both superficially and deep
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Lymph System• Liver
•Functions as a filter•Produces all procoagulants essential to hemostasis and blood coagulation
•Stores excess iron• Produces Hepcidin which regulates iron balance
Copyright © 2014 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
Effects of Aging on the Hematologic System• Gerontologic considerations
•Changes in bone marrow, hemoglobin levels, vascular integrity, and blood cell responsiveness and reserves diminish the ability of the older adult to recover from acute illnesses or compensate for chronic diseases.
