Platelets (Thrombocytes)
• Small, disc shaped, granulated, active structure
• Non-nucleated (not reproduce)
• 2-4 micron (cell fragment)
• Life span=short (5-9) days
Steps Of production
• Pluripotent (uncommitted stem cells) → myeloid stem cell → megakaryoblast→ megakaryocytes
→platelets
Structure of Platelets
A. Platelet Membrane:
• Phospholipid bilayer membrane
with negatively charged Glycoprotein coat
(to prevent adherence to normal endothelium), adhere to injured endothelium
• Contain > 50 glycoprotein receptors for:
▪ Collagen (GPVI)
▪ Von Willebrand factor (GP Ib),
▪ Fibrinogen (GP 11b/111a),
▪ Thrombin, ADP
▪ Thromboxane A2 (TXA2).
• Plasma membrane has an open canalicular system:
▪ pathway for uptake of calcium and release of intracellular substances.
B. Cytoplasm: contain
• Cytoskeleton of microtubules,
• Golgi, Mitochondria, Lysosome , Glycogen, residuals of endoplasmic reticulum
• Contractile proteins (actin, myosin) →enable active platelet to change shape
• Granules: see later
1
HEMOSTASIS
1. Nervous reflexes: initiated by stimulation of pain receptors in subendothelial layer of traumatized vessel.
2. Local myogenic contraction due to direct trauma to the smooth muscles
3. Humoral (Chemical) substances: ADP, serotonin, thromboxane A2 secreted from platelets.
4. Endothelin: is a vasoconstrictor, secreted from injured endothelial cells.
2
II. Formation of Temporary Hemostatic Plug: (platelet reactions) ((primary hemostasis)
Can stop blood loss completely in small injury
1. Platelet adhesion: via receptors to exposed sub-endothelial collagen & von Willebrand factor.
o Von Willebrand factor: glycoprotein formed by endothelial cells & found in subendothelial tissue
Also present in plasma, bound to factor VIII
2. Platelet activation
• caused by adhesion →that initiate intracellular signaling→ cause platelet activation
→platelet swell, change shape, put out pseudopodia
→release granules
• Activation is enhanced by ADP, thrombin
3. Platelet Release reaction: (Ca++ dependent reaction)→ release of
➢ Dense granules: non-protein e.g.
❖ Calcium (cause more release)
❖ ADP (activation, aggregation, fusion of platelet)
❖ Serotonin (reinforce and maintain VC)
➢ Alpha granules: ) proteins(
❖ Clotting factors: as fibrinogen, factor V, von-Willebrand factor and factor Xlll.
❖ Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) → stimulate growth and multiplication of
endothelium, smooth muscles and fibroblasts.
❖ Platelet activating factor (PAF): help platelet aggregation
Membrane phospholipids
PAF (phospholipase enzyme)
Arachidonic acid
Cyclooxygenase
Prostaglandin
Thromboxane A2 Prostacyclin
1. VC 1. VD
2. ↑Platelet release 2. Platelet release
3. ↑Platelet aggregation 3. Platelet aggregation
✓ Prostacyclin opposite to thromboxane A2→ keeps platelet plug localized to site of injury &
Prevent clot spread to healthy area
✓ Aspirin inhibits COX→↓ thromboxane A2 & prostacyclin
✓ Endothelial cells can produce new COX within hours, Platelets cannot.
✓ Daily intake of aspirin →↓clot formation & prevents myocardial infarctions.

4. Platelet aggregation (platelet plug formation)
❖ by ADP, PAF, thromboxane A2→ cause platelets to bind to each other through fibrinogen receptors
(Gpll/llla).
❖ Receptor- bound fibrinogen acts as a bridge between two Gpll/llla molecules on adjacent platelets.
❖ platelet aggregation → cause release of the granules
→more ADP, Thromboxane A2,
→more aggregation
→self propagating process
→results in formation of a platelet plug.

III. Blood Coagulation (Clotting) (secondary hemostasis)
o Conversion of temporary platelet plug into definitive clot via production fibrin thread (stabilizes plug)
o By clotting factors" plasma proteins" (mainly -globulins), synthesized by the liver
o Proteolytic inactive enzymes,
o When activated→ activate other →cascade of reaction → end in clot formation
Coagulation factors are classified into 3 groups:
Fibrinogen group Prothrombin group Contact Group
Factor I (fibrinogen), V, VIII, XIII Factor II (Prothrombin),VII, IX, X factors XI and XII
Activated by thrombin Need vitamin K for synthesis in Activated by contact to
liver electronegative charge
Mechanism of Coagulation
A. Intrinsic Pathway occurs both in vivo and in vitro
2. XIIa activate XI
3. XIa activate IX
4. IXa form complex with VIIIa (activated by thrombin (separate it from VWF) PL+ Ca activate X
5
Interaction between two systems
1. In the body, following injury, Clotting initiated by both systems simultaneously.
2. Extrinsic system is rapid (15 sec) & and extensive, intrinsic system is slow (1-6 min).
3. Extrinsic system →
• Leads to formation of thrombin rapidly→ activates factors VIII & V leading to activation of intrinsic
• VIIa (extrinsic)→ activates IX (intrinsic factor) , X (common).
4. When critical amount of thrombin is formed, vicious circle develops causing more blood clotting
5. Ca++ is required for all the reactions except the first 2 steps in intrinsic system
6
6. Fibrinolytic System:
a. All endothelial cells, except those in the cerebral microcirculation, express thrombomodulin
b. Thrombin + thrombomodulin →thrombomodulin-thrombin complex →activates protein C with its
cofactor protein S→
• Inactivate factor V & VIII.
• Inactivate inhibitor of tissue plasminogen activator (TPA)
• ↑formation of plasmin.
c. Plasmin (fibrinolysin): lyses fibrin & fibrinogen→ fibrinogen degradation products (FDP) → inhibit
thrombin.

Abnormalities of Hemostasis
1) Thrombocytopenic purpura:
➢ Platelet deficiency < 50,000/mm3 or defective platelet function (thrombasthenia→ causes
subcutaneous hemorrhages (petechial)
➢ Prolongation of bleeding time
2) Vitamin K deficiency:
➢ Vitamin K is fat-soluble vitamin formed by intestinal bacterial flora.
➢ Vitamin K →essential for formation of factors II, VII, IX and X , protein C and S by the liver
➢ Causes of Deficiency:
• Absence of intestinal bacterial flora in newborn infants &
• Prolonged treatment with antibiotics
• Obstruction of bile duct (as bile needed for absorption)
➢ Prolongation of clotting time
3) Hemophilia:
➢ sex-linked Recessive disease (on X chromosome).
➢ carried by female to their males sons
➢ 3 types: Hemophilia A: absence of factor VIII (85%) classic hemophilia
Hemophilia B: absence of IX (10%)
Hemophilia C: absence of XI (5%)
➢ characterized by episodes of hemorrhage in joints or internal organs after minor trauma
➢ Prolongation of clotting time.
• Slow blood flow as in leg veins due to prolonged bed rest after operations, varicose veins
• Roughness of endothelium in atherosclerosis
9
Hemostatic Tests
1. Bleeding time
• Time needed for bleeding to stop without clotting (1-3 minutes),
• Depends on platelet count and function,
2- Coagulation time
• Time needed for blood to clot = 3-10 minutes.
• Prolonged in extrinsic and intrinsic system disorders as vitamin K deficiency, hemophilia,
liver diseases.
3- Prothrombin time
• Test for extrinsic pathway (VII)
• Normal value= 15 seconds , prolonged in vitamin K deficiency

BLOOD GROUPS
ABO system RBC’s membrane contains either A or B antigen.
Blood Group (phenotype) A B AB (universal recipient) O (universal donor)
Genotype AA or AO BB or BO AB OO
Agglutinogen (antigen) A B A + B No antigen
Agglutinin (antibody) Anti-B Anti-A No antibody Anti-A +Anti-B
% 40% 10% 5% 45%
2- Medico-legal (good negative test): to exclude not to prove paternity since many persons
have the same blood group.
Rh factor: (D factor)
➢ Discovered in Rhesus monkey.
➢ 85% Rh positive. 15% Rh negative.
➢ Both have no anti- D
➢ Only formed in Rh negative persons if receive antigen D (Rh positive blood) (become sensitized)
➢ if that person receives Rh positive blood again→ will result in agglutination and hemolysis of RBC’s
Importance of Rh factors
1. Erythroblastosis Fetalis: (Rhesus hemolytic disease of new born)
➢ Rh +ve male married Rh -ve female → Rh +ve fetus
➢ During delivery: Rh +ve fetal blood → enter maternal circulation
→anti-D (IgG) is formed. (sensitization)
➢ During next pregnancy: anti-D (IgG) cross placenta → causes agglutination & hemolysis of fetal RBC’s
➢ At birth: baby is Anemic, jaundiced (↑bilirubin), Kernicterus (bilirubin cross blood brain barrier)
or born dead
➢ Prevention:
A. Rh -ve female should never receive Rh +ve blood
B. Anti-D is given immediately after delivery to neutralize D antigen & prevent sensitization
1st baby affected in previously sensitized RH -ve mother: via previous transfusion with Rh +ve blood
No fetal complication regarding ABO system as ABO antibodies cannot cross placenta (IgM)
11
2. Repeated blood transfusion
• If Rh -ve receive Rh +ve blood→ anti D is formed
• Next transfusion with Rh +ve blood→ result in agglutination.
Blood Transfusion
Indications
1- Hemorrhage (Restore whole blood)
2- Restore one element, e.g. RBCs, WBC’s, platelets, plasma proteins and clotting factors
3- Erythroblastosis fetalis.

Leucocytes (White Blood Cells WBCs)
Inflammatory response
Definition
• Response of immune system to tissue injury (may be due to infection, trauma, extremes of heat
and cold and chemical agents)
• Defense mechanism →vital to health.
4 cardinal signs of inflammation
1. Redness: caused by the dilation of small blood vessels around the injury
2. Heat: from increased blood flow to the area
3. Swelling: caused by accumulation of fluid in ISF due to ↑capillary permeability
4. Pain: induced by chemical mediators of inflammation, such as bradykinin, histamine, serotonin,
and prostaglandins
Cells involved: mainly, neutrophils and monocytes.
13
Inflammation mobilizes defensive cells to the site of injury, →kills pathogens, and limits their
spread and initiates tissue repair.
It occurs in any tissue but is most observed in the skin
