BLOOD CELLS

INTRODUCTION
Ablood cell, also called ahematocyte, is a
cellproduced byhematopoiesisand is normally
found inblood. Inmammals, these fall into three
general categories:
Red blood cells Erythrocytes
White blood cells Leukocytes
Platelets Thrombocytes.
Together, these three kinds of blood cells add up
to a total 45% of the blood tissue by volume,
with the remaining 55% of the volume composed
ofplasma, the liquid component of blood.

RED BLOOD CELLS

RED BLOOD CELLS

Blood has three main functions: transportation, regulation and

protection.
Our erythrocytes, or red blood cells, are the most abundant cell type
in the human body.
Additionally, erythrocytes are anucleated, which means they don't
have a nucleus. This extra room allows for more hemoglobin to be
stored in our red blood cells.
Hemoglobin is a respiratory pigment, which binds to either oxygen
or carbon dioxide. This allows oxygen to be transported around our
body to our tissues and organs (and carbon dioxide to be taken
away). Hemoglobin is largely comprised of iron, which when
combined with oxygen, gives blood its red color. Additionally, blood
helps cycle nutrients and hormones throughout our bodies.

WHITE BLOOD CELLS

WHITE BLOOD CELLS

There are five different types of white blood
cells, or leukocytes, in our bodies, and we can
break them up into two main categories.
These aregranulocytesandagranulocytes.
Granulocytes have visible granules in their
cell bodies, and agranulocytes do not.
There are three types of granulocytes.
They are neutrophils, eosinophils and
basophils.

GRANULOCYTES

NEUTROPHILS
Neutrophils are the most abundant type of white blood cell in our body.
These are primarily responsible for killing off foreign bacteria. Neutrophils
are the first responders when we are injured or sick, and they help keep
us healthy by phagocytizing (or consuming) bacteria in our bodies.
EOSINOPHILS
Eosinophils are responsible for fighting infections of parasitic worms.
These cells release toxins that kill the worms and are also involved in the
inflammatory response when we have an allergic reaction.
BASOPHILS
Basophils release two chemicals, histamine and heparin. Histamine is
also involved in allergic reactions, and heparin is an anticoagulant.
Anticoagulants keep blood from clotting, which helps bring more blood to
a damaged area in our body, which, in turn, helps promote healing.

AGRANULOCYTES

AGRANULOCYTES
The two remaining types of leukocytes are agranulocytes. These are monocytes
and lymphocytes.

MONOCYTES
Monocytes are the largest of the white blood cells. These are the cells
that 'clean up' our blood the most. Monocytes also employ phagocytosis
to 'eat' foreign particles, bacteria and dead neutrophils.

LYMPHOCYTES
A lymphocyte is one of the three subtypes of white blood cell in a
vertebrate's immune system.
They include natural killer cells (NK cells) (which function in cell-mediated,
cytotoxic innate immunity), T cells (for cell-mediated, cytotoxic adaptive
immunity), and B cells (for humoral, antibody-driven adaptive immunity).
They are the main type of cell found in lymph, which prompted the
name lymphocyte

PLATELETS / THROMBOCYTES

PLATELETS /
THROMBOCYTES
Platelets, also calledthrombocytes, are a
component of blood whose function (along with
thecoagulation factors) is to stop bleeding by
clumping and clogging blood vessel injuries.
Platelets have nocell nucleus: they are fragments
of cytoplasmwhich are derived from the
megakaryocytes of thebone marrow, and then
enter the circulation.
Platelets are found only in mammals, whereas in
other animals (e.g. birds, amphibians)
thrombocytes circulate as intact mononuclear cells.

CONCLUSION
In the human body, one of the most important
connective tissuesisblood. Blood is considered
a connective tissue because it consists of a nonliving fluid in which living cells are suspended.
The blood matrix surrounding the cells is known
asplasma, which accounts for about 55% of our
blood volume. There are three types of living
cells in blood: red blood cells (orerythrocytes),
white blood cells (or leukocytes) and platelets
(orthrombocytes). These make up the
remaining 45% of our blood volume.
