Concept Map 13- 1 The blood. (^)
There are two types:^
a. Monocytes (MON-oh-sightz), which make
up^ about 3% to 8% of WBCs^
b. Lymphocytes (LIM-foh-sightz), which
make^ up about 20% to 25% of WBCs^
C.^ Thrombocytes or platelets (Figure 13-2).^
There are 700 times more RBCs in blood than WBCs^
and at least 17 times more RBCs than platelets.
Plasma is the fluid component of blood; 91% of plasma is
water. About 7% are the proteins albumin- (al-BYOO-men),
globulins (GLOB-yoo-linz), and fibrinogen- (fih-BRIN-
oh-jen). Albumin plays a role in maintaining- osmotic pressure
and water balance between blood and tissues.
Some examples of globulins are antibodies and comple-
ment, which are important in the immune response of the
body. Other globulins act as transport molecules for hor-
mones and carry them to target organs. -Fibrinogen plays a
vital role in the clotting mechanism. The remaining 2% of
plasma consist of solutes such as ions, nutrients, waste
products, gases, enzymes, and hormones.
Blood storage techniques were developed by Dr.
Charles Drew, an African American scientist. He is best
known for his research on blood plasma. His blood
preservation discoveries led to the formation of blood
banks in the United States and Great Britain during World
War II. He was director of the first American Red Cross
Blood Bank.
