Blood & Lymph system
Slide 2-

What is blood?… Blood is a fluid consisting of formed elements and plasma. It is produced by bone marrow, and the volume depends on body weight. An individual weighing 154 pounds has a blood volume of about 5 quarts/liters.
Slide 3-

What is the function of blood? It provides a means of transportation for… Transporting respiratory gases… oxygen and carbon dioxide Chemicals, such as those found in food, hormones, and salts Cells that protect the body from foreign substances
Slide 4-

What is blood plasma? Plasma (PLAZ mah) is the fluid part of the blood. It is clear or straw-colored. It comprises 55% of the total blood volume, and is mostly water and proteins: albumin (al BU min), globulin (GLOB u len), fibrinogen (fī BRIN oh jen), and prothrombin (pro THROM bin).
Slide 5-

What are the ‘formed elements’ found in blood? Erythrocytes (ee RITH roh sītes) are the red blood cells formed in the red marrow inside bones. They carry oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Slide 6-

What are the ‘formed elements’ found in blood? Red blood cell; platelet; white blood cell Thrombocytes (THROM boh sītes) are platelets, about half the size of erythrocytes. They play an important role in the clotting of blood.
Slide 7-

What are the ‘formed elements’ found in blood? Leukocytes (LOO koh sītes) are white blood cells, the body’s defense against pathogens (bacteria or virus). They move through cell walls to areas of infection, ingesting and destroying the pathogens. Neutrophils are one of the 5 types of leukocytes. A ‘neutrophil count’ identifies the number of white blood cells that are aren’t busy elsewhere, and are available to go fight an infection.
Slide 8-

What are blood groups? In 1901, Karl Landsteiner discovered the ABOblood system that contained 4 blood types. This was a significant discovery for the success of blood transfusions. Blood can be lost from surgery, injury, or illness. A person transfused with an incompatible blood type may have a life-threatening reaction. The body’s immune system (white blood cells) attacks it.
Slide 9-

What are blood groups? Type A blood has ‘A’ antigens located on the surface of the red blood cells, and ‘anti-B’ antibodies in the plasma. (Antigens and antibodies are specific protein molecules.) 41% of the population has this blood type. People with Type A blood can get transfusions from people with Type A or Type O blood.
Slide 10-

What are blood groups? Type B blood has ‘B’ antigens located on the surface of the red blood cells, and ‘anti-A’ antibodies in the plasma. 10% of the population has this blood type. People with Type B blood can get transfusions from people with Type B or Type O blood.
Slide 11-

What are blood groups? Type AB blood both A or B antigens located on the surface of the red blood cells, and no ‘anti-A’ or ‘anti-B’ antibodies in the plasma. Only 4% of the population has this blood type. People with Type AB blood can get transfusions from people with ANY blood type. They are called universal receivers.
Slide 12-

What are blood groups? Type O blood has no A or B antigens located on the surface of the red blood cells, and both ‘anti-A’ and ‘anti-B’ antibodies in the plasma. 45% of the population has this blood type. People with Type O blood can only get transfusions from other people with Type O blood. Because the three other blood types can take their blood, they are called universal donors.
Slide 13-

What is the Rh factor? The Rh factor refers to the presence or absence of a substance called an ‘agglutinogen’ in the red blood cells. When the blood has this agglutinogen in it, the person is said to be Rh positive. Mixing Rh positive and Rh negative blood groups can result in agglutination, or blood clumping. This can become life-threatening, especially if it happens more than once.
Slide 14-

So how do we make sure blood transfusions are successful? To make sure a transfusion is successful, the blood is ‘typed’… A, B, AB, or O. Then it is cross-matched. That means that samples of the donor and recipient blood are mixed together, and observed for signs of agglutination. Agglutination
Slide 15-

What is lymph? Lymph is the clear, nearly colorless, alkaline fluid that occupies the space between all cells of the body. The term for this is ‘interstitial fluid’ (in ter STISH awl), and it is similar to blood plasma. It is 95% water. It seeps in and out through the walls of very small vessels called capillaries. Lymph is mostly fluid from blood plasma.
Slide 16-

What is the lymphatic system? The lymphatic system is connected to the circulatory system. It consists of capillaries, vessels, ducts, and nodes. This system transports lymph one-way…back to the blood stream. There is no pump, but the lymph moves via skeletal muscle action, respiratory movement, and contraction of smooth muscle in vessel walls.
Slide 17-

What are the functions of the lymphatic system? The lymphatic system has 3 primary functions: 1. Transports proteins and fluids, lost by capillary seepage, back to the bloodstream. 2. Participates in the body’s immune response. 3. Is the pathway for the absorption of fats from the small intestine into the bloodstream.
Slide 18-

What is the function of lymph nodes? Lymph nodes are filters, slowing down and cleaning the lymph before returning it to the blood. The dark lumps on the membrane are lymph nodes. Lymph nodes and ducts under the arm.
Slide 19-

Lymph nodes trap and sometimes become swollen with bacteria that has invaded the body AND the white blood cells that fight that bacteria. What is the function of lymph nodes?
Slide 20-

The lymphatic system plays an important role in the development or spread of cancer. Cancer that starts in the lymph nodes is called a lymphoma. When cancer cells break off a tumor and spread into the lymph nodes, it is known as metastatic cancer. The lymphatic system and cancer… Example: A dye is injected to direct the surgeon to the nearest lymph node (the sentinel node). If cancer cells are found in this node, they have spread away from the tumor.
Slide 21-

The spleen is a soft, dark purple organ found in the upper-left portion of the abdomen and surrounded by blood and lymph vessels. The red pulp of the spleen removes old red blood cells (erythrocytes) from the blood supply. The white pulp of the spleen removes, stores and produces white blood cells (lymphocytes). Accessory organs to the lymphatic system… the spleen
Slide 22-

If the spleen is severely damaged, it can be removed surgically with a procedure called a splenectomy. The majority of its functions are taken over by the liver. The individual will have an increased susceptibility to infections due to the loss of immune function. Accessory organs to the lymphatic system… the spleen Normally 11-12 cm in length; 4 ½ inches
Slide 23-

The tonsils are located in masses of tissue in the back of the throat. They filter bacteria and produce white blood cells. Tonsils are sometimes removed if they become so large they cause an obstruction or if they are chronically inflamed. Accessory organs to the lymphatic system… the tonsils
Slide 24-

The thymus gland is usually considered as part of the endocrine system, but is actually part of the lymphatic system due to its appearance and function. It manufactures one specific type of the infection-fighting lymphocytes. They are aptly called T-cells. Accessory organs to the lymphatic system… the thymus gland Do not confuse the thymus gland with the thyroid gland. Thyroid gland
