Blood Cells; Going Deeper

Welcome back dearies
How are you?? Hope you had a good day..

Well previously we had posted on the functions and components of the blood.. today we are going to go a bit deeper on structure and functions of the formed elements in our blood cells.

Formed elements of the blood

Lets recall..

Do still remember the components of our blood?? YES! The straw coloured liquid is plasma and it is 55% of our whole blood and Formed elements of blood consists of 45% of the whole blood.

So when you look into,

The formed element of the blood are the following:

1.       Red blood cells (erythrocytes)

2.       White blood cells (leukocytes) which are distinguished into two:

a)       Granular leukocytes (the WBC contain granules which can be seen under microscope after staining)

·       Neutrophils

·       Eosinophils

·       Basophils

b)      Agranular leukocytes ( the WBC with no granules under microscope after staining)

·       Lympocytes (t-cells,b-cells and natural killer)

·       Monocytes

3.       Platelets (thrombocytes)

Did you know??

Basically white blood cells does not contain haemoglobin thus they don’t have contain colour. We can only see them under microscope after staining them.

Besides red blood cells does not have nucleus. So they appear biconcave shape to hold heamoglobin.

Aren’t you now curious to know how does our blood cells look? Their structure? Their function??

Structure and function of blood cells

There you go.. the table summarizes on the structure of blood cells and its function! There is a clearer image on the white blood cells attached below.

It’s a wrap for today. Hope our post was informative enough.  Feel free to drop your comments on query or suggestions. Your feedback is very much appreciated.

Thank you. Good day

Introduction of Blood; Important?

Do you know how important is our blood?

Lets begin with what are the functions of our blood..

Lets now dive further in to know what are the components of our blood..
Our whole blood is composed of two portions:

1.       Blood plasma- which is a liquid that contains dissolved material
2.       Formed elements – which are cells that support and maintain our body tissues

Components of Blood

Do you know how this cells helps to regulate our system???

The plasma which is about 55% of our whole blood is a straw coloured liquid which transports substances need by the cells and removes waste product from cells

The formed elements which encompasses 45% of our blood contains

Red blood cells (RBC) - contains haemoglobin which carries oxygen from our lungs to the rest of our body

White Blood Cells (WBC) - defends and protects against infections which is a part of our immune system.

Platelets - which is responsible to help our body to clot blood when there is an injury.

Have you ever imagine or wondered on how blood our real blood looks like under the microscope??

Let us show you.

Informative enough?

Well we guess that’s all for today! Stay tuned for tomorrow as we will update new vital piece of information. Feel free to drop your comments on query or suggestions. Your feedback is very much appreciated.

What is it all about?

Ola Viewers!!!
Greetings everyone! Good day to you..

With great excitement we would like to announce that this blog is created and handled by Aina,Arshad,Daniel, Eunice, Kishanty and Vila we are students of bachelor in Medical Science from Management and Science University (MSU), Malaysia.

The Precious Blood A-team!

This blog is created as per requirement of our assignment for Hemopoitetic and Lymphoid System (QAP20103) and it will be evaluated by our lecturer on prior to information content of the blog and views achieved. So, help us spread the word, share this blog. Hope you find this blog informative! Lets enhance our knowledge together.

“Pursue knowledge as though it is your life-blood, then you will know greatness!”

-Monique Rockliffe

Our main topic would be regarding BLOOD which is known as our circulatory system. Our team will be sharing our knowledge based on the facts, information acquired through our theoretical and practical understanding of this topic throughout this semester. We will be updating our blog daily and feel free to comment below and drop you queries!

Love,
