,CASE 1 THE FIRST AID TROOPS

BLO O D CELLS
Non-specific white blood cells: innate immune system
• Neutrophils: phagocytosis and killing of microorganisms
neutrophils act as the first responders to infections / pathogens. They phagocytose (eat) invading
organisms and release cytotoxins (cell killing substances). They respond to infections inside the body
and in the skin. Chemotaxis is the process that directs them to the skin. Pus is dead neutrophils,
bacteria and skin cells. A high neutrophil count is caused by an infection.
• Basophils: control responses to parasites
primary responsible for allergic reactions. They contain histamine and release chemicals that cause
inflammation. They are found in and outside vessels.
• Eosinophils: killing of antibody coated parasites through the release of their granule content
(cytokines).
They are found in and outside vessels , in the GI track for example where they are involved in food
allergies. It is an “acid loving cell”.
• NK cells: natural killer cells they can kill human cells that are infected with a virus.
• Monocytes: differentiate into macrophages and facilitate health and repair. They are the circulating
precursor of macrophages, when they leave the blood stream, they are macrophages.

Specific immune response white blood cells: adaptive immune system
• Lymphocytes: they have receptor molecules on their surface and with these receptors they bind to
antigens on foreign molecules. Each lymphocyte has a specific antigen. Once stimulated by binding of
an antigen, they multiply into identical cells. B lymphocytes (humoral response (antibody production)
and T lymphocytes: cellular response (cytotoxic or T helper cells).

Other blood cells:
• Platelets/ thrombocytes: Fragments of cytoplasm of a megakaryocyte. they are colorless and have no
nucleus, granules filled with cytokines and growth factors. Their lifespan is about 10 days. They lay a
role in preventing blood loss, but they also act as immune cells and mediate the inflammatory
response.
• Erythrocytes / red blood cells: deliver O 2 to the tissues, no nucleus, hemoglobin rich cytoplasm. They
also play a role in the immune response: when lysed by a bacteria, hemoglobin is released.
Hemoglobin releases free radicals which can kill the pathogen.

Inflammation: a localized protective response caused by injury or destruction of tissue, which serves to destroy
pathogens.

HEMO STASI S

The process to keep blood inside a damaged blood vessel
W HAT I S BLEEDI NG? epidermis
bleeding is the loss of blood, when blood leaves through the skin, it is called
external bleeding. when a wound is bleeding, the basement membrane and dermis
the dermis underneath, and the endothelium of the blood vessel are
damaged. The blood vessels are located in the dermis of the skin. An Subcutaneous tissue
abrasion: only the epidermis is broken.

, HO W I S BLEEDI NG STO P PED?

1) Vasoconstriction to decrease the blood flow through the wounded vessel. Parac rine molecules are
released from the damaged blood vessel.
2) Temporary blockage of the break by a platelet plug. The damaged vessel wall exposes collagen and
other chemicals. On the platelets are molecules called integrins:
• Glycoprotein 1 b: binds to VWF, VWF binds to collagen
• Glycoprotein IIbIIIa: binds to fibrinogen (aiding in platelet aggregation)
The von Willebrand factor (VWF) bind to glycoprotein 1b on the platelet and to collagen. VWF thus
couples the platelet to the collagen of the blood vessel. Thi s results in the activation of the platelet
(via a conformational change/ change in shape), resulting in the platelets releasing their granule
contents:
• α-granules: contain fibrinogen and VWF
• dense granules: contain serotonin, ADP(role in platelet aggregation) and Ca 2+
These factors are stored by granules, so that they can be released very quickly when needed (so they
don’t need to be synthesized anymore when needed.)
PAF: platelet activating factor is also secreted and will result in the activation of even more platelets.
PAF converts platelet membrane phospholipids into thromboxane A2 and serotonin , which serve as
vasoconstrictors and contribute to pla telet aggregation.
Localization of platelets: platelets adhere only at the damaged spot. Intact vascular cells convert
their membrane lipids into prostacyclin and release NO, which both block platelet aggregation.




3) Coagulation :due to a series of linked enzymatic reactions, fibrin is formed which helps to stabilize the
platelet plug. The coagulation cascade is thus a series of enzymatic reactions that results in the
production of thrombin, that can conversion of fibrin into fibrinogen.
• The extrinsic pathway/ initiation: Tissue factor exposed at the site of damage activated factor
VII.
• The intrinsic pathway / propagation: uses proteins that are already present in the plasma. It
starts with exposed collagen in the damaged tissue, that will activate factor XII.
➔ One pathway activates the other
