    Blood transports materials and distributes heat around the body while also protecting against disease. It contains plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and blood platelets. Red blood cells carry oxygen using the protein hemoglobin and have adaptations like a biconcave shape and lack of a nucleus to maximize oxygen transport. White blood cells include phagocytes that destroy microorganisms and lymphocytes that produce antibodies to fight foreign bodies. Platelets help the blood clot to stop bleeding by clumping at breaks in blood vessels and secreting proteins involved in the clotting process. Blood products made from donor blood can be transfused to patients depending on their needs.

    BLOOD

    BY HARETH HAMEED VIII-C


    Blood

    The composition of blood


     Blood transports materials and
    distributes heat around the body. It
    also helps to protect against
    disease. Blood contains plasma,
    which is a liquid that cells and cell
    fragments are suspended in:
     Plasma is a straw-colored liquid that
    makes up just over half the volume Venous (darker)
    of blood. and arterial
    (brighter) blood
    WHAT IS IN YOUR BLOOD?

     Blood transports materials around the


    body and protects against disease. It
    contains:
     Red blood cells: which transport
    oxygen.
     White blood cells: which protect
    against disease.
     Blood platelets: which help the blood
    to clot and repair a cut.
     Plasma: which is a liquid that carries
    these cells. It also transports important
    nutrients.
    RED BLOOD CELLS

     Red blood cells transport the oxygen


    required for aerobic respiration in
    body cells.
     They must be able to absorb oxygen
    in the lungs, pass through narrow
    blood capillaries, and release this
    oxygen to respiring cells.
    Red blood cells have adaptations
    that enable them to carry a
    maximum amount of oxygen:
     They contain the protein haemoglobin, which gives them their red colour, at the lungs
     .

     Haemoglobin can combine reversibly with oxygen. This is important - it means that it can
    combine with oxygen as blood passes through the lungs, and release the oxygen when it reaches
    the cells.
     They have no nucleus - they lose it during their development - so they can pack in more
    haemoglobin.
     They are small and flexible so that they can fit through narrow blood capillaries.
     They have a biconcave shape - they are the shape of a disc that is curved inwards on both sides -
    to maximise their surface area for oxygen absorption.
     They are thin, so there is only a short distance for the oxygen to diffuse to reach the centre of
    the cell.
    WHITE BLOOD CELLS

    There are several main types


    of white blood cell.
     Phagocytes:
     About 70% of white blood cells are phagocytes.
    Phagocytes engulf and destroy unwanted
    microorganisms that enter the blood, by the
    process of phagocytosis. They are part of the
    body's immune system.
     Lymphocytes:
     Lymphocytes make up about 25% of white blood
    cells. They are also part of the body's immune
    system. Lymphocytes produce soluble proteins
    called antibodies when a foreign body such as a
    microorganism enters the body. Lymphocytes
    PLATELETS

     Platelets are cell fragments produced


    by giant cells in the bone marrow.
     Platelets stop bleeding in two main
    ways:
     they have proteins on their surface
    that enable them to stick to breaks in
    a blood vessel and clump together
     they secrete proteins that result in a
    series of chemical reactions that make
    blood clot, which plugs a wound.
    BLOOD PRODUCTS

    Blood products are produced from blood from


     Bloodproducts are

    blood donors.
    components of blood that  Blood products can then be given to patients
    depending on their needs. Patients rarely receive
    are given to a patient by transfusions of whole blood in modern medicine.

    transfusion. They include:  Blood products are screened for:


     infectious agents such as HIV
     red blood cells  their blood group
     the presence of certain antibodies
     platelets
     Blood for transfusion must be compatible with that
     plasma of the patient's blood, for instance, their blood
    group. Before a transfusion, white blood cells are
    often removed to reduce the risk of infections or
     antibodies immune reactions.
    BLOOD - SUMMARRY

     Bloodtransports materials around


    the body and protects against
    disease. It contains:
     Red blood cells which transport oxygen.
     Whiteblood cells which protect against
    disease.
     Blood platelets which help the blood to
    clot and repair a cut.
     Plasma which is a liquid that carries
    these cells. It also transports important
    nutrients.
