Part 1: Blood
Copyright 2014 Niambi Wellness. All rights reserved
Blood carries and delivers oxygen, hormones,
and other nutrients to cells and helps maintain
the body temperature and the immune system.
Copyright 2014 Niambi Wellness. All rights reserved
It also removes waste products and carbon
dioxide. The components of blood include
plasma, erythrocytes, thrombocytes, leukocytes,
and lymphocytes.
Copyright 2014 Niambi Wellness. All rights reserved
Copyright 2014 Niambi Wellness. All rights reserved
Plasma
Copyright 2014 Niambi Wellness. All rights reserved
Plasma is the yellowish clear fluid component
which makes up about 55% of blood.
Copyright 2014 Niambi Wellness. All rights reserved
Erythrocytes
Copyright 2014 Niambi Wellness. All rights reserved
Erythrocytes are the red blood cells, and they
make up about 50% of blood volume, and 3
million cells are continuously produced per
second from stem cells located in the bone
marrow.
Copyright 2014 Niambi Wellness. All rights reserved
Erythrocytes move and deliver oxygen and other
plasma components to all cells, tissues, and
organs and carry carbon dioxide and other
waste products to the relevant deposit centers of
the body.
Copyright 2014 Niambi Wellness. All rights reserved
Thrombocytes
Copyright 2014 Niambi Wellness. All rights reserved
Thrombocytes are also called platelets and are
cell fragments which circulate within the blood
with a life span of about 10 days.
Copyright 2014 Niambi Wellness. All rights reserved
Generally, they are useful in cases of injury and
will adhere at the site of a wound or to the walls
of damaged vessels to release chemicals which
clot and close the wound or vessel.
Copyright 2014 Niambi Wellness. All rights reserved
Leukocytes
Copyright 2014 Niambi Wellness. All rights reserved
Leukocytes are white blood cells which make up
0.51% of blood,liver, spleen, liver, and lymph
nodes.
Copyright 2014 Niambi Wellness. All rights reserved
They are produced in bone marrow from stem
cells and the thymus gland and have a life span
of about 2036 hours.
Copyright 2014 Niambi Wellness. All rights reserved
Lymphocytes
Copyright 2014 Niambi Wellness. All rights reserved
Lymphocytes are white blood cells which also
make up about 0.51% of circulating blood.
Copyright 2014 Niambi Wellness. All rights reserved
Lymphocytes are white blood cells which also
make up about 0.51% of circulating blood.
They are produced in the stem cells in bone
marrow and function to produce antibodies to
pathogenic antigens such as bacteria, viruses,
and parasites.

Part 2: Lymphatic System
Copyright 2014 Niambi Wellness. All rights reserved
The functions of the lymphatic system are to
assist the immune system by stimulating an
immune response, removal of interstitial fluid
from tissues, and transporting of white blood
cells.
Copyright 2014 Niambi Wellness. All rights reserved
The lymphatic system lacks a pumping
mechanism such as in the cardiovascular
system.
Copyright 2014 Niambi Wellness. All rights reserved
The flow and movement depends on respiratory
movement, skeletal muscle movement, and
smooth muscle contraction in vessel walls.

Part 3: Genetics
Copyright 2014 Niambi Wellness. All rights reserved
Thalassemia and hereditary hemochromatosis
are genetic blood disorders which contribute to
cardiovascular complications.
Copyright 2014 Niambi Wellness. All rights reserved
Thalassemia is a genetic blood disorder in which
the body makes an abnormal form of
hemoglobin, which destroys erythrocytes
causing anemia.
Copyright 2014 Niambi Wellness. All rights reserved
Hereditary hemochromatosis is a mutation of the
C282Y and H63D genes which primarily affects
males.
