RED BLOOD CELLS
Red blood cells are also called ERYTHROCYTES.

Mature RBC are biconcave , disc shape and

enucleated
Biconcave shape of RBC increases surface area

Due to absence of nucleus and presence of biconcave

shape more Haemoglobin can be filled.

In RBC endoplasmic reticulum is absent so

endoskeleton is composed of structural protein called
As STROMATION.
Size of RBC:-
In humans-7.7µ
Largest RBC-Amphiuma-75-80µ
Smallest RBC-Musk deer-2.5µ
Change in size of RBC is called aniocytosis.

Shape of RBC:-
Biconcave
Change in the Poikilocytosis
Crenation- shrinking of RBC in hypertonic
solution.
FORMATION OF RBC:-

Process of formation of RBC is called ERYTHROPOIESIS

Organs which produce RBC are called Erythopoitic organs.

Hormone which stimulate Erthyropoiesis is called

ERYTHROPIEOTIN.

First RBC Forms in Yolk Sac.

During Embryonic life RBC are produce by spleen liver

placenta and thymus gland.

In adult it is formed by Red BONE MARROW CELLS.
W H I T E BLOOD CELLS
WBC-White blood corpuscles also called LEUCOCYTES because
they are colorless.

GRANULOCYTES AGRANULOCYTES
1.CYTOLASMIC 1.CYTOPLASM IS CLEAR
GRANULES PRESENT AND AGRANULAR
2.MULTILOBED NUCLEUS 2.NO LOBES IN NUCLEUS
3.PRODUCE IN BONE 3.PRODUCE IN BONE
MARROW MARROW AND
LYMPHOID ORGAN
PLATELETS
Platelets are also knowns as thrombocytes

They are non nucleated and derived from

MEGAKARYOTES CELL of bone Marrow.

In shape platelets are disc like, oval shape or

biconcave.

Life span: 2-5Days

Maximum part of cytoplasm is composed of a
contractile protein called THROMBOSTHENIN.

Decrease in number of blood platelets is called

THROMBOCYTOPENIA.

Normal platelets count:- 1.5-3.5lakhs/mm³ of

blood.

Critical count of thrombocytes is 40,000/mm³

, disease due to its least count is called PURPURA DISEASE.
FUNCTION:-
1.Repair of ENDOTHELIUM of blood vasclular
system by the formation of platelets plug
because they have tendency to attach on
gelatinous or mucilaginous surface.

2.Synthesize thromboplastin which help in

blood clotting.

3.Synthesise SEROTONIN.
BLOOD CLOTTING
Blood flow from cut or wound but after some
times it stops automatically, it is called
clotting of blood.

BLEEDING TIME:-1-3 mins

CLOTTING TIME:-2-8 mins

TYPES OF CLOTT:-
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF CLOTT:-

1.THROMBUS

2.EMBOLUS
THROMBUS:-

Static clots which grows bigger and

ultimately gets block in the blood
vessels are called as THROMBUS CLOT.

If this clot is formed in the coronary

vessels then called as coronary
thrombosis,which causes heart attack.
EMBOLUS:-

Moving clots which flows with blood

and ultimately get dissolved in blood.

More harmful due to their moving

nature.
