Summary homeostasis and organ systems BBS1002

Case 1
Blood = connective tissue, consist of two elements
1) Plasma  clear extracellular fluid
2) Formed elements  erythrocytes (RBCs), leukocytes (WBCs) and platelets

Composition of plasma:
 Functions of plasma proteins
o Reserve supply of amino acids for cell nutrition  macrophages
break them down
o Carrier for other molecules  function as weak base by binding H +
o Protection against blood loss and invasion by foreign
microorganisms and viruses by interacting in specific ways which
cause the blood to coagulate
o Govern distribution of water between blood and tissue by creating osmotic pressure
 Types of plasma proteins
Albumins  helps substances dissolve by binding, plasma transport
o Fibrinogen  forms framework of blood cloth
o Globulins  alpha, beta and gamma
 High density lipoproteins (HDL): lipid transport, membrane reconstruction,
hormone function, prevent cholesterol invasion and setting
 Low density lipoproteins (LDL): carries cholesterol and fats to tissues for
manufacturing steroid hormones, favors deposition of cholesterol
 Amino acids
 Nitrogenous waste  excreted by the kidneys
 Nutrients  absorbed by the GI tract
 Gases  oxygen and carbon dioxide, dissolved nitrogen
 Electrolytes  blood’s osmolarity

Red blood cells (RBCs)
 Two main functions:
1. Pick up oxygen in the lungs and deliver it to the tissues
2. Pick up carbon dioxide in the tissues and deliver it to the lungs
 Disc shaped with a sunken center
o Membrane: glycolipids and -proteins, which determine your blood type
o Inner membrane surface: spectrin and actin  resilience and durability
 Almost no cellular components  no aerobic respiration, not use the oxygen they carry
o No nucleus, so no self-repair
 Cytoplasm  33% sol. Hgb, which causes the red color
 Life span approx. 120 days

White blood cells (WBCs)
 Granulocytes
o Neutrophils: polymorphonuclear  variety of nuclear shapes, destruction of bacteria
and the release of chemicals that kill bacteria
o Eosinophils: destruction of allergens and inflammatory chemicals, release enzymes
that disable parasites
o Basophils: secrete histamine which increases blood flow, secrete heparin which
prevents clothing so increased mobility
 Agranulocytes

, o Lymphocytes: destroying cancer cells, cells infected by viruses and foreign invading
cells, activate other immune system cells by presenting antigens, coordinate these
cells, secrete antibodies, immune memory
 B-cells: produced in bone marrow, produce large quantities of antibodies
 T-cells: produced in bone marrow but matured in thymus
 T-helper: produce cytokines
 Cytoxic T (T-killer): produce toxic granules which induce the death of
pathogen infected cells

Platelets
 Secrete vasoconstrictors  spasm in broken blood vessel  prompt constriction which
protects against blood loss until other mechanisms take over
 Form platelet plugs: draw the walls of a blood vessel together by adhering to other platelets
 Secrete procoalugants which help in blood clothing by turning fibrinogen into fibrin
 Dissolve blood cloths
 Digest and destroy bacteria
 Secrete chemicals that attract neurophils and monocytes to sites of inflammation
 Secrete growth factors to maintain the lining of blood vessels

Transport mechanisms of blood
 Cardiovascular system  pulmonary circulation and
systemic circulation
 Capillary exchange
o Gases, lipids and lipid soluble molecules can
diffuse directly through membranes
o Glucose, amino acids and ions use transporters
 facilitated diffusion
o Larger molecules pass through pores
o Water moves by osmosis
 Bulk flow = the movement of fluids
o Hydrostatic pressure drives filtration
 Pressure of any fluid in a space
 Capillary hydrostatic pressure drives
fluid out of capillaries into the tissues
 Interstitial fluid pressure: opposing
hydrostatic pressure is usually lower
than CHP due to lymphatic vessels 
the fluid moves out of the capillaries into the lymphs
o Osmotic pressure drives reabsorption
 Driven by osmotic concentration gradients
 Plasma proteins play the main role
 BCOP is always higher than IFCOP, because some molecules cannot pass to
the IF, so the water with dissolved molecules travels into the bloodstream




Production of different blood cells

,  Hemopoiesis = production of the formed elements
o Embryo  yolk sac, fetus  bone marrow, liver, spleen and thymus, during birth 
liver stops, right after birth  spleen stops, infancy onwards  bone marrow
 Hemocytoblast proerythoblast erythoblast  normoblast  reticulocyte  erythrocyte
 Hemocytoblasts
o B progenitors  B lymphocytes
o T progenitors  T lymphocytes
o Granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming units  granulocytes and macrophages

Case 2
Structure of the heart




Microscopic: three layers
1. Epicardium 
outer, protective
layer
o Inner layer
of
pericardium
o Mostly
loose
connective
tissue
o Protects
and assists
in
producing pericardial fluid  fills pericardial cavity
o Coronary blood vessels, direct contact with myocardium
2. Myocardium  muscular, middle layer
o Cardiac muscle fibers cause the contractions
o Thicker at the left ventricle
o Contractions regulated by the peripheral nervous system  bundle of His an
Purkinje fibers

, 3. Endocardium  inner layer
o Lines heart chambers, covers valves, continuous with endothelium of blood vessels
o Atria: smooth muscle and elastic fibers
 Valves are a flap of connective tissue

Heart contraction




Electrical impulses:
1. Action potential is generated in the SA node
2. Travels through fibres in the atria which contract. Bachmann’s bundle conducts the impulses
directly from the right to the left atrium, so that they contract at the same time
3. Travels through the right atria to the AV node, where it is delayed slightly to allow relaxation
of the ventricles and passive filling
4. Travels along the Bundle of His  left and right bundle branch form the interventricular
septum
5. To the walls of the ventricles by Purkinje fibres
6. Ventricles contract and impulses travel towards the atria
