CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

 BLOOD
Blood is a tissue that is made up of plasm, red
blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Less than 55% of the blood is plasm. Plasm is
the liquid part of blood and is mostly made up
of water.
 RED BLOOD CELLS
(ERYTHROCYTES)

Mature red blood cells do not have any

nucleus. They do not live very long. On the
average their life span is three to five
months. There are 30,000,000 red blood
cells that die every second. The red blood
cells are removed from the blood stream in
the liver and the spleen.
 RED BLOOD CELLS
(ERYTHROCYTES)

Red blood cells have a disc-shape,

thick around the edge and thin in the
middle. There are about 5,000,000 red
blood cells in one mm3 of blood. An
average person has about 25 trillion
(25,000,000,000,000) red blood cells
in his/her body.
RED BLOOD CELLS
(ERYTHROCYTES)
 RED BLOOD CELLS
(ERYTHROCYTES)
Red blood cells are produced in the red bone marrow.
They contain hemoglobin, the iron pigment that
transports oxygen to the tissues. Oxygen becomes
chemically bonded to hemoglobin to form
oxyhemoglobin. This reaction takes place in the
lungs.
 WHITE BLOOD CELLS
(LEUKOSIT)

White blood cells are produced in the lymph nodes

(kelenjar getah bening), the spleen (Limpa), and the
bone marrow. The life span of white blood cells is
from a few days to many weeks. Each white blood
cell has a nucleus.
The number of white blood cells may go from 7,000
to 25,000 per cubic millimeter. The number of white
blood cells increases sharply when infection occurs.
 WHITE BLOOD CELLS
(LEUCOCYTES)

There are several types of white blood cells: basophile, eosinophile,

lymphocyte, and neutrophile. One type of white blood cells, that is
lymphocytes, can produce antibodies.
 PLATELETS
(THROMBOCYTES)
Perhaps you know from experience that when a clot forms
in a wound, the bleeding stops. Blood clots are produced
by both chemical and physical changes in the blood. The
clotting of blood involves structures called platelets, the
blood protein called fibrinogen, and the mineral calcium.
