There Are Four Basic Components That Comprise Human Blood: Plasma, Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells and Platelets There are four basic components that comprise human blood: plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Red Blood Cells Red blood cells represent 40%-45% of your blood volume. They are generated from your bone marrow at a rate of four to five billion per hour. They have a lifecycle of about 120 days in the body. Platelets Platelets are an amazing part of your blood. Platelets are the smallest of our blood cells and literally look like small plates in their non-active form. Platelets control bleeding. Wherever a wound occurs, the blood vessel will send out a signal. Platelets receive that signal and travel to the area and transform into their “active” formation, growing long tentacles to make contact with the vessel and form clusters to plug the wound until it heals. Plasma Plasma is the liquid portion of your blood. Plasma is yellowish in color and is made up mostly of water, but it also contains proteins, sugars, hormones and salts. It transports water and nutrients to your body’s tissues. It is made up of: • Hormones. • Antibodies. • Enzymes. • Glucose. • Fat particles. • Salts. White Blood Cells Although white blood cells (leukocytes) only account for about 1% of your blood, they are very important. White blood cells are essential for good health and protection against illness and disease. Like red blood cells, they are constantly being generated from your bone marrow. They flow through the bloodstream and attack foreign bodies, like viruses and bacteria. They can even leave the bloodstream to extend the fight into tissue. Blood has a variety of different functions. These include: • Transport. Blood takes oxygen from the lungs to the cells of the body. It takes carbon dioxide from the body's cells to the lungs where it is breathed out. Blood carries nutrients, hormones and waste products around the body. • Regulation. Blood helps to keep the acid-alkali balance of the body in check. It also plays a part in regulating body temperature. Increasing the amount of blood flowing close to the skin helps the body to lose heat. • Protection. White blood cells attack and destroy invading germs (bacteria) and other pathogens. Blood clots, which protects the body from losing too much blood after injury. • Supply of oxygen to tissues (bound to hemoglobin, which is carried in red cells), nutrients such as glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids (dissolved in the blood or bound to plasma proteins (e.g., blood lipids)) • Removal of waste such as carbon dioxide, urea, and lactic acid • Immunological functions, including circulation of white blood cells, and detection of foreign material by antibodies • Coagulation, the response to a broken blood vessel, the conversion of blood from a liquid to a semisolid gel to stop bleeding • Messenger functions, including the transport of hormones and the signaling of tissue damage • Regulation of core body temperature Blood Groups Red blood cells have certain proteins on their surface, called antigens. Also, your plasma contains antibodies which will attack certain antigens if they are present. There are various types of red blood cell antigens - the ABO and rhesus types are the most important. ABO types These were the first type discovered. • If you have type A antigens on the surface of your red blood cells, you also have anti-B antibodies in your plasma. • If you have type B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells, you also have anti-A antibodies in your plasma. • If you have type A and type B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells, you do not have antibodies to A or B antigens in your plasma. • If you have neither type A nor type B antigens on the surface of your red blood cells, you have anti-A and anti-B antibodies in your plasma. Rhesus types Most people are rhesus positive, as they have rhesus antigens on their red blood cells. But, about 3 in 20 people do not have rhesus antibodies and are said to be rhesus negative. Blood group names Your blood group depends on which antigens occur on the surface of your red blood cells. Your blood group is said to be: • A+ (A positive) if you have A and rhesus antigens. • A− (A negative) if you have A antigens but not rhesus antigens. • B+ (B positive) if you have B and rhesus antigens. • B− (B negative) if you have B antigens but not rhesus antigens. • AB+ (AB positive) if you have A, B and rhesus antigens. • AB− (AB negative) if you have A and B antigens but not rhesus antigens. • O+ (O positive) if you have neither A nor B antigens but you have rhesus antigens. • O− (O negative) if you do not have A, B or rhesus antigens. Importance Blood Donation Life Saver: Many people require urgent blood and by donating our blood we easily give them life. It makes proud and can also give a purpose of life-the feelings that made a difference to someone’s life. Refresher our system: Having donated blood, our cell count goes down which leads to new cells regeneration. Entire body freshens up and many of health issues come to end. Proper diagnosis: Prior to donating blood, hospital personnel make diagnosis of cholesterol, iron content, haemoglobin etc. References: 1. R.S.Khandpur,(Handbook of Biomedical Equipments”. 2.

We investigated associations between blood groups and circulating inflammation-related molecules in 3537 non-Hispanic white participants selected from the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial. Whole-genome scans were used to infer blood types for 12 common antigen systems based on well-characterized single-nucleotide polymorphisms. Serum levels of 96 biomarkers were measured on multiplex fluorescent bead-based panels. We estimated marker associations with blood type using weighted linear or logistic regression models adjusted for age, sex, smoking status, and principal components of p 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: population substructure. Bonferroni correction was used to control for multiple comparisons, with two-sided values < 0.05 considered statistically significant. Among the 1152 associations tested, 10 were statistically significant. Duffy blood type was associated with levels of CXCL6/GCP2, CXCL5/ENA78, CCL11/EOTAXIN, CXCL1/GRO, CCL2/MCP1, CCL13/ MCP4, and CCL17/TARC, whereas ABO blood type was associated with levels of sVEGFR2, sVEGFR3, and sGP130.

  • Guide to Blood Plasma Products and Their Applications – Part One
    Vet Times The website for the veterinary profession https://www.vettimes.co.uk Guide to blood plasma products and their applications – part one Author : Amanda Boag, Jenny Walton Categories : Vets Date : September 26, 2011 Amanda Boag and Jenny Walton discuss indications for the use of plasma products, their production, and storage within the practice in the first of a three-part series FOLLOWING changes in legislation in 2005, veterinary blood banking and component therapy has developed rapidly within the UK. Practitioners now have easy access to canine blood and its products – notably, packed red cells and various plasma products. This series of articles will focus on indications for plasma product use, their production and storage, the administration and monitoring of plasma transfusions and will include a series of five case studies that have used plasma products. Indications for plasma component therapy Although well-defined indications exist for the use of plasma products in single or multiple coagulation deficiencies, indications for many of its other uses are empiric. Haemostatic disorders Plasma components are most commonly used to treat haemostatic disorders and are generally effective in treating both inherited and acquired conditions. Specific diagnosis enables selection of the optimum replacement product. It is important to remember that any samples drawn for diagnostic purposes (for example, measurement of clotting factor levels) must be taken either 1 / 5 before or at least 36 hours after transfusion to allow the measurement of endogenous levels. Inherited bleeding disorders Plasma components are administered to control active haemorrhage or as preoperative prophylaxis. Inherited bleeding disorders are associated with deficiency of a specific factor and the optimal product for treatment depends on which factor is lacking.

  • Blood Collection and Handling Tube Additives, Tube Type Most Laboratory Tests Are Performed on Plasma, Serum, Or Whole Blood
    Blood Collection and Handling Tube Additives, Tube Type Most laboratory tests are performed on plasma, serum, or whole blood. To preserve the specimen in the form required by the test, collection tubes contain additives that either prevent coagulation (for plasma and whole blood recovery), or activate coagulation (for serum recovery). Please refer to individual test requirements. Drawing Order When multiple tubes are drawn, it is important to prioritize the drawing order to prevent a Table 1. Vacutainer Order Of Draw tube additive from contaminating the next tube and altering the chemical composition of the 1. Navy Blue (metals testing) following specimen. Coagulation tests are highly susceptible to interference from 2. Blood culture bottles / SPS tubes contamination from tissue fluid and tube additives; therefore these tests are usually collected 3. Coagulation tests: first when a series of tubes are collected. Prior to collecting tests for coagulation (i.e. Blue top a. Clear top “waste” tube tube) a plain Clear top tube containing no additive must be partially filled and discarded. b. Light Blue top This “waste” tube prevents tissue thromboplastins from contaminating the Blue top tube. Blue top tubes must be allowed to fill to the line indicated on the tube, exhausting the 4.

  • Effect of Platelet Rich Plasma Lysate and Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 on Sperm Motility in Stallions
    Effect of Platelet Rich Plasma Lysate and Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 on Sperm Motility in Stallions by Fabio Luis Valerio Pinaffi A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Auburn, Alabama August 8, 2020 Platelet rich plasma, platelet rich lysate, semen extender, sperm motility, head-to-head attachment, growth factors Copyright 2020 by Fabio Luis Valerio Pinaffi Approved by Aime Kirin Johnson, Chair, Associate Professor, Department of Clinical Sciences Lindsey Boone, Assistant Professor, Department of Clinical Sciences Robyn Wilborn, Associate Professor, Department of Clinical Sciences Abstract Semen extenders are continually tested to improve sperm motility, longevity, and, consequently, improve fertility. Growth factors (GFs) modulate cell function, which could be advantageous to sperm by improving motility. In humans and mice, fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) improved sperm motility. Platelet rich plasma (PRP), which is rich in growth factors (GFs) including FGF2, reduced post-mating inflammatory response within the uterus when infused 24 hours before or after artificial insemination. Effect of PRP on sperm has not been determined. In this study, PRP lysate was used instead of PRP since it is more purified and highly concentrated in GFs. The objective was to evaluate the effect of adding either pooled PRP lysate (PRPL) or recombinant equine FGF2 (reFGF2) at varying concentrations to sperm extended in commercial semen extender (INRA 96) in the stallion. Eight aliquots were tested using concentrations of 1, 2.5, 5, and 10% of PRPL containing 1 IU/ml of heparin, and 0.1, 1, 10, and 100 ng/ml of reFGF2 and compared to control groups with and without 1 IU/ml of heparin.
