Blood cells
Types of blood cells
• Red blood cells
• Macrophage system
• Lymphatic system
Red blood cells
• Functions
– Transport of hemoglobin
• Oxygen
• Free hemoglobin can be filtered into the urine by
kidney in higher animals
– Must be in the cell
– Formation of carbonic acid
• Carbonic anhydrase (water plus CO2)
• Faster clearance of CO2 from the body
• Biological buffer
• Shape and size of RBC
– Flexible bag
• Passing through the capillary
• No membrane stretching
– Greater membrane to volume ratio
• Concentrations
– 5,200,000/ml in men and 4,700,000/ml in
women (300,000 give or take)
• Hemoglobin concentration
– 34g/100ml cell (no plasma)
• Upper metabolic limit
• Almost always around the maximum
– Hematocrit (% cell in blood)
• 40-45%
• 15g/100 ml blood in male and 14g/100 ml blood in
female
• Each g hemoglobin can carry 1.34 ml oxygen
– 20ml O2/100 ml blood in men and 19ml O2/100 ml blood
in women

• Generation of blood
cells
– Pluripotent
hematopoetic stem
cells
• Reservoir
• Committed
hematopoetic stem cells
– Committed stem cells
• Erythrocyte
– Derived from colony
forming uniterythrocytes (CFU-E)
• Granulecytes and
monocytes
– Derived from CFUGM
• Growth and differentiation of stem cells
– Growth inducers
– Differentiation inducers
• Commitment of stem cells to differentiate
– Production controlled by external factor
• Low blood O2
• Infection (WBC)
• Stages of
differentiation
– Proerythroblast
– Basophil erythroblast
• Stain with basic dye
– Increased %
hemoglobin as the
stage progresses
– Condensation and loss
of nucleus and other
organelles
Regulation of RBC production
• Total mass of RBC in circulation
– Narrow range
• Adequate # of RBC for O2 transport
• No impact on blood flow
• Oxygenation of tissue
– Most essential regulator
• Loss of RBC/loss of O2 carrying capacity
Regulation of RBC production
• Erythropoetin
– Stimulates RBC
production when low
O2 states
– Kidney
• Main source (90%)
• Stimulated by low
oxygen availability to
tubular cells
• Production signaled by
other parts of body
Regulation of RBC production
• Erythropoetin
– Rapid production
• Maximum within 24
hours after hypoxia
– Stimulates
proerythroblast
production from stem
cells
– Increased rate of
differentiation
RBC maturation
• RBC
– Most rapidly growing and reproducing cells
• Vitamins
– Vitamin B12 and folic acid
• Synthesis of TTP
• Essential for nuclear maturation and cell division
• Formation of macrocytes (low O2 carrying capacity)
when low
• Pernicious anemia
– Poor vitamin B12 absorption
• Atrophy of GI nucosa that causes loss of intrinsic
factor for vitamin B12 absorption
– Susceptible to digestion
– No interaction with blush border in ileum
– Reduced B12 being carried in blood
• Needs 3-4 years before the symptom appears
– Stored in liver
• Anemia caused by folic acid deficiency
– Spruce
• Small intestine disease that reduce folic acid and
vitamin absorption
Hemoglobin formation
• Stages
– Formation of succinyl-CoA
• Krebs cycle
– Combination of succinyl-CoA with glycine
• Pyrrole
– Formation of protoporophyrin
• Four pryrroles
– Formation of heme
• protoporophyrin plus iron
– Combination of heme with globulin protein
• Types of hemoglobin chains
– Four types
• Alpha, beta, gamma, and delta
• Hemoglobin A = two alpha plus two beta chains
– Determines oxygen binding affinity
• Sickle cell anemia
– Amino acid substitution in beta chains
• Combination of O2 with hemoglobin
– Loose interaction with coordination bonds of
iron atom
• Reversible
– Carried as O2 rather than oxygen ion
Iron metabolism
• Total iron quantity
– 4-5 g
• 65 % in hemoglobin
• Transport and storage
– Bound to plasma proteins after absorption
– Bound to ferritin in the cell
• Storage
• Released when plasma concentrations are low
• Daily iron loss
– 0.6 mg per day
– 1.3 mg/day during menstruation
• Absorption of iron
– Small intestine
• Bound to apotransferrin (bile product) to form
transferrin
• Regulation of total body iron
