About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Blood Anatomy and Physiology” by Dr Nishant Verma.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about blood, a fluid connective tissue that circulates throughout the body, carrying nutrients, oxygen, and waste products to and from the cells. It is composed of cells and plasma, a liquid portion that contains dissolved substances such as electrolytes, hormones, and proteins.

Anatomy: There are three types of cells found in blood: red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes). Red blood cells are the most abundant, and they transport oxygen from the lungs to the body tissues. White blood cells are involved in the immune response and help fight infections. Platelets are important for blood clotting and prevent excessive bleeding.

Physiology: Blood carries oxygen from the lungs to the body tissues and carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs. It also carries nutrients such as glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids from the digestive system to the cells and removes waste products such as urea and lactic acid from the cells to be eliminated from the body.

Slide 60-

19-4 Blood Typing The Rh Factor Also called D antigen Either Rh positive (Rh) or Rh negative (Rh) Only sensitized Rh blood has anti-Rh antibodies
Slide 61-

Figure 19-9 Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn Problems seldom develop during a first pregnancy, because very few fetal cells enter the maternal circulation then, and thus the mother’s immune system is not stimulated to produce anti-Rh antibodies. Fetal blood supply and tissue Maternal blood supply and tissue During First Pregnancy Placenta The most common form of hemolytic disease of the newborn develops after an Rh– woman has carried an Rh+ fetus. Rh+ fetus Rh– mother
Slide 62-

Figure 19-9 Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn Exposure to fetal red blood cell antigens generally occurs during delivery, when bleeding takes place at the placenta and uterus. Such mixing of fetal and maternal blood can stimulate the mother’s immune system to produce anti-Rh antibodies, leading to sensitization. Hemorrhaging at Delivery Maternal blood supply and tissue Fetal blood supply and tissue Rh antigen on fetal red blood cells
Slide 63-

Figure 19-9 Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn Roughly 20% of Rh– mothers who carried Rh+ children become sensitized within 6 months of delivery. Because the anti-Rh antibodies are not produced in significant amounts until after delivery, a woman’s first infant is not affected. Maternal antibodies to Rh antigen Maternal blood supply and tissue Maternal Antibody Production
Slide 64-

Figure 19-9 Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn In a subsequent pregnancy, the mother is sensitized to the Rh+ fetus. Therefore, the mother’s anti-Rh antibodies cross the placenta and attack the fetal red blood cells. During Second Pregnancy Fetal blood supply and tissue Maternal blood supply and tissue Maternal anti-Rh antibodies Rh+ fetus Rh– mother Hemolysis of fetal RBCs

19-4 Blood Typing Cross-Reactions in Transfusions Also called transfusion reaction Plasma antibody meets its specific surface antigen Blood will agglutinate and hemolyze Occur if donor and recipient blood types not compatible
Slide 66-

Figure 19-7b Blood Types and Cross-Reactions In a cross-reaction, antibodies react with their target antigens causing agglutination and hemolysis of the affected RBCs. Surface antigens Opposing antibodies RBC Agglutination (clumping) Hemolysis

19-7 Hemostasis Hemostasis Is the cessation of bleeding Consists of three phases Vascular phase Platelet phase Coagulation phase
Slide 108-

19-7 Hemostasis The Vascular Phase A cut triggers vascular spasm that lasts 30 minutes Three Steps of the Vascular Phase Endothelial cells contract and expose basement membrane to bloodstream
Slide 109-

19-7 Hemostasis Three Steps of the Vascular Phase Endothelial cells Release chemical factors ADP, tissue factor, and prostacyclin Release local hormones, endothelins Stimulate smooth muscle contraction and cell division Endothelial plasma membranes become “sticky” Seal off blood flow
Slide 110-

Figure 19-12 The Vascular, Platelet, and Coagulation Phases of Hemostasis and Clot Retraction (Step 1) Vascular Phase The vascular phase of hemostasis lasts for roughly 30 minutes after the injury occurs. The endothelial cells contract and release endothelins which stimulate smooth muscle contraction and endothelial division. The endothelial cells become “sticky” and adhere to platelets and each other. Knife blade Blood vessel injury Vascular spasm
Slide 111-

19-7 Hemostasis The Platelet Phase Begins within 15 seconds after injury Platelet adhesion (attachment) To sticky endothelial surfaces To basement membranes To exposed collagen fibers Platelet aggregation (stick together) Forms platelet plug which closes small breaks
Slide 112-

19-7 Hemostasis Platelet Phase Activated platelets release clotting compounds Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) Thromboxane A2 and serotonin Clotting factors Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) Calcium ions
Slide 113-

19-7 Hemostasis Factors That Limit the Growth of the Platelet Plug Prostacyclin, released by endothelial cells, inhibits platelet aggregation Inhibitory compounds released by other WBCs Circulating enzymes break down ADP Negative (inhibitory) feedback from serotonin Development of blood clot isolates area
Slide 114-

Figure 19-12 The Vascular, Platelet, and Coagulation Phases of Hemostasis and Clot Retraction (Step 2) Platelet Phase The platelet phase of hemostasis begins with the attachment of platelets to sticky endothelial surfaces, to the basement membrane, to exposed collagen fibers, and to each other. As they become activated, platelets release a variety of chemicals that promote aggregation, vascular spasm, clotting, and vessel repair. Release of chemicals (ADP, PDGF, Ca2+, platelet factors) Plasma in vessel lumen Platelet adhesion to damaged vessel Platelet aggregation Endothelium Basement membrane Vessel wall Contracted smooth muscle cells Platelet plug may form Interstitial fluid Cut edge of vessel wall
Slide 115-

19-7 Hemostasis The Coagulation Phase Begins 30 seconds or more after the injury Blood clotting (coagulation) Cascade reactions Chain reactions of enzymes and proenzymes Form three pathways Convert circulating fibrinogen into insoluble fibrin

Slide 118-

19-7 Hemostasis Three Coagulation Pathways Extrinsic pathway Intrinsic pathway Common pathway
Slide 119-

19-7 Hemostasis The Extrinsic Pathway Begins in the vessel wall Outside bloodstream Damaged cells release tissue factor (TF) TF + other compounds = enzyme complex Activates Factor X
Slide 120-

19-7 Hemostasis The Intrinsic Pathway Begins with circulating proenzymes Within bloodstream Activation of enzymes by collagen Platelets release factors (e.g., PF-3) Series of reactions activates Factor X
Slide 121-

19-7 Hemostasis The Common Pathway Where intrinsic and extrinsic pathways converge Forms enzyme prothrombinase Converts prothrombin to thrombin Thrombin converts fibrinogen to fibrin
Slide 122-

Figure 19-12 The Vascular, Platelet, and Coagulation Phases of Hemostasis and Clot Retraction (Step 3) Coagulation Phase Coagulation, or blood clotting, involves a complex sequence of steps leading to the conversion of circulating fibrinogen into the insoluble protein fibrin. As the fibrin network grows, blood cells and additional platelets are trapped in the fibrous tangle, forming a blood clot that seals off the damaged portion of the vessel. Prothrombin Prothrombinase Factor X Tissue factor complex Tissue factor (Factor III) Tissue damage Contracted smooth muscle cells Platelet factor (PF-3) Fibrinogen Fibrin Thrombin Clotting factor (VII) Common Pathway Extrinsic Pathway Ca2+ Intrinsic Pathway Factor X activator complex Clotting factors (VIII, IX) Activated proenzymes (usually Factor XII) Blood clot containing trapped RBCs SEM  1200 Ca2+

Slide 125-

19-7 Hemostasis Calcium Ions, Vitamin K, and Blood Clotting Calcium ions (Ca2+) and vitamin K are both essential to the clotting process
Slide 126-

19-7 Hemostasis Clot Retraction Pulls torn edges of vessel closer together Reducing residual bleeding and stabilizing injury site Reduces size of damaged area Making it easier for fibrocytes, smooth muscle cells, and endothelial cells to complete repairs
Slide 127-

Figure 19-12 The Vascular, Platelet, and Coagulation Phases of Hemostasis and Clot Retraction (Step 4) Clot Retraction Once the fibrin meshwork has formed, platelets and red blood cells stick to the fibrin strands. The platelets then contract, and the entire clot begins to undergo clot retraction, a process that continues over 30–60 minutes.
