Human anatomy - Blood
Blood Components and Functions
| Component | Function |
|---|---|
| Red Blood Cells orErythrocytes | They carry the protein hemoglobin, which transports oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body |
| White Blood Cells orLeukocytes | They are primarily responsible for protecting the body from infection. |
| Platelets orThrombocytes | They help the blood clotting process (or coagulation) by gathering at the site of an injury. |
| Plasma | It is the liquid component of blood and transports blood cells throughout the body along with nutrients, waste products, antibodies, clotting proteins, chemical messengers such as hormones, and proteins that help maintain the body's fluid balance |
Types of White Blood Cells (Leukocytes)
| Name | Function |
|---|---|
| Basophil | Normal white blood cell which increase with bone marrow damage, parasitic infections, or allergic reactions. |
| Eosinophil | A type of white blood cell that controls mechanism associated with allergies and defends the body from infection by parasites and bacteria. |
| Lymphocyte | Two types - T lymphocytes which help regulate the function of other immune cells and directly attacks infected cells and tumors and B lymphocytes which make antibodies. |
| Monocyte | A white blood cell that ingests bacteria and foreign particles. |
| Neutrophil | The most common type of white blood cell, which helps the body fight infection. |
Types of Blood Vessels and Functions
| Blood Vessel | Function |
|---|---|
| Arteries | Artery carry oxygenated blood under high pressure from the heart to other parts of the body. |
| Veins | Veins carry deoxygenated blood from the organs and tissues back to the heart. |
| Capillary | Capillaries connect arteries and veins. |
Main Blood Vessels and Functions
| Type of Blood Vessel | Name of Blood Vessel | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Artery | Aorta | Largest and principal artery which circulates oxygenated blood to all parts of the body through its branches. |
| Coronary Artery | A branch of Aorta which supplies oxygenated blood to the heart tissues. | |
| Pulmonary Artery | Only artery which carries deoxygenated blood. It carries blood from the heart to the lungs for purification. | |
| Vein | Superior Vena Cava | This vein returns deoxygenated blood from the head, arms and thorax to the heart. |
| Inferior Vena Cava | This vein returns deoxygenated blood from the abdomen and legs to the heart. | |
| Coronary Vein | This vein returns deoxygenated blood from the heart muscles to the heart. | |
| Pulmonary Veins | Four pulmonary veins, two from each lung carry oxygenatedblood from lungs to the heart. |

Disorders related to blood
| Main disorder | Specific | Brief details |
|---|---|---|
| Anaemia | Iron-deficiency Anaemia | Results from deficiency of iron usually due to blood loss or poor nutrition. |
| Vitamin-deficiency Anaemia | Results from low levels of Vitamin B12 or folic acid due to poor nutrition. | |
| Aplastic Anaemia | Occurs when the body stops making enough red blood cells. This may be due to viral infections, exposure to toxic chemicals, drugs, and autoimmune diseases. | |
| Hemolytic Anaemia | Occurs when abnormal breakdown of red blood cells takes place. | |
| Sickle Cell Anaemia | It is a hereditary blood disorder, in which red blood cells taking a rigid, sickle shape. This decreases the cells' flexibility and may result in life-threatening complications. | |
| Bleeding Disorders | Haemophilia | It is a rare, usually inherited, bleeding disorder characterised by body's inability to control blood clotting or coagulation. It results from a genetic defect in X- chromosome. |
| von Willebrand Disease | It is the most common hereditary coagulation abnormality that results when the blood lacks von Willebrand factor, a protein that helps the blood to clot. | |
| Blood Cancers | Leukemia | Characterised by rapid production of abnormal white blood cells which cannot fight infection and also impair the ability of the bone marrow to produce red blood cells and platelets. |
| Lymphoma | Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that occurs when lymphocytes, the white blood cells that form a part of the immune system, divide faster than normal cells or live longer than they are supposed to. | |
| Myeloma | This type of cancer targets the plasma cells which produce antibodies, thus weaken the immune system of the body. |

Important Facts to Remember on Bones
| The study of bones is called Osteology. |
| A new born has about 300 bones in its body, many of which fuse later in life to form 206bones in an adult. |
| Bones are chiefly made up of Calcium Phosphate and Collagen (a protein). |
| The longest bone in the human body is the Femur or the thigh bone. |
| The smallest bone is located in the ear and known as the stapes. |
| Bones are attached to bones by tough, fibrous tissues known as ligaments |
| The axial skeleton consists of the bones of the skull, ear, rib cage, verbral column, sternum and the hyoid bone totalling 80. |
| The appendicular skeleton consists of all other bones totalling 126. |
| The pectoral girdle consists of the clavicle and the scapula totalling 4 bones. |
| The pelvic girdle consists of 2 pelvic bones. |
| Osteoporosis is a progressive bone disease that is characterized by a decrease in bone mass and density which can lead to an increased risk of fracture. |
| Rickets is a disease of the bones in children who develop soft bones due to deficiency of Vitamin D. |
| Arthritis is a form of joint disorder that involves inflammation of one or more joints. |
| Gout is a form of joint disorder that involves inflammation of one or more joints. |
| Calcium is an important nutrient for building bones and slowing the pace of bone loss. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium. |
