The Blood
- The Function and Composition of Blood
- The Function of Blood
- The blood is
responsible for
providing
transportation,
regulation, and
protection throughout
the body
- The blood carries waste
to the kidneys and
carbon dioxide to the
lungs, where both the
waste and carbon
dioxide are eliminated
from the body.
- The blood also protects
the body against infection
and regulates body
temperature by directing
heat towards the skin and
lungs. Buffers and Amino
Acids transported in the
blood helps maintain the
body's pH at healthy levels
between 7.35 and 7.45.
- The blood is
responsible for
providing
transportation,
regulation, and
protection throughout
the body
- The Formed Elements
- Plasma
- Plasma is a pale yellow fluid
composed of 90% water and
8% plasma proteins; the
remaining 2% is a mixture of
electrolytes, nutrients, ions,
respiratory gases,
hormones, proteins, and waste
products.
- Plasma contains
three types of
proteins:
Fibrinogen,
Albumin, and
Globulin.
- The electrolytes include
sodium, potassium,
chloride, magnesium,
and calcium.

- Red Blood Cells (Erythrocytes)
- Shape and Size
- Mature Red Blood
Cells are
disk-shaped cells
that look like a
doughnut without
the hole in the
center. They are
extremely small (7
to 8 micrometers in
diameter)
- Mechanisms of the Red Blood Cells
- 1. It increases
the surface
area of the
cell, providing
a larger
binding area
for oxygen
and carbon
dioxide.
- 2. It increases
the flexibility of
the cell, allowing
it to change
shape so it can
fit into capillary
openings that
are half the size
of the cell.
- 3. It limits
the cell's
life span to
120 days;
without a
nucleus,
the cell is
unable to
replicate.

up about 45% of the blood's
content, and plasma
comprises the remaining
55%
- When put in a
Centrifugal, everything
seperates. Red Blood
Cells at the bottom,
Plasma on top, and the
buffy coat in between.
- The buffy coat is a thin layer of white
blood cells and platelets that lies
between the red blood cells and
plasma in a blood sample that has
gone through a centrifuge.
- Sepearating these blood
elements allows us to
take a common blood
measurement called
Hematocrit.

(approximately 85%) are
Rh-positive.
