Circulatory System | Keeps things moving. |
Circulation Process (Pulmonary Circulation) | Carries deoxygenated blood back to the heart and lungs for gas exchange. |

Functions of the Circulatory System | Oxygen transport, Nutrient Trasnport, Waste Transport, Water Balance, Heat Balance, Vitamin Transport, Hormone Transport, Infection Control, Loss Control (clotting) |
The Heart | Functions as the primary pump for the circulatory system. |
heart - Made up of four main chambers through which the bllod flows. | Located slightly left of the midline in the thoracis (chest cavity) |
Heart Chambers (4) | Left Atrium, Right Atrium, Left Ventrical, Right Ventrical. |
heart (Blood) 1 | Blood enters the right atrium from the superior and inferior vena cavae |
heart (Blood) 2 | The blood moves throught the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. |
heart (Blood) 3 | The ventricle contracts and blood exits through the pulmonary valve, into the pulmonary arteries. |

Provides nutrients, oxygen, chemical substances and waste removal for each of the individual cells in the body. | Blood |
The fluid, circulating connective tissue primarily responsible for circulation with the body. | Blood |
Blood interacting with every part of the body, blood tests show key data abour organ function, infection and other physical conditions | Blood |
What is the average amount of blood that an adult has? | 5 to 6 liters. |
Comprimised of different types of cells, water, and dissolved substances. There are 3 main types of blood cells. | Composed of Erythrocytes (red blood cells), Leukocytes (WBC), Thrombocytes, platelets, Plasma, (main component), serum (plasma, without clotting factors) |
Blood Cells (Erythrocytes): RBC | Commonly called red blood cells, these are the most numerous cells in the blood. The avg. adult has 20-30 trillion RBC's. Each cell is 6 to 8 micrometers across. |
Erythrocytes | Packed with proten called hemoglobin, which binds to oxygen and allows transport Also gives blood it's red color. |
Hemoglobin | 4 part protein which can attach to oxygen, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide. |
Life span of 120 days, before being removed by the liver, bone marrow or spleen. Flexible shape allows them to pass through capillaries. About 7mm in diameter and 2 mm thick. | hemoglobin |
Leukocytes (WBC) | Differ in size and shape, defense mechanism, formed in bone marrow and lymphatic tissues/ 5,000 to 10,000 WBC's in a microliter of blood. WBC's divided into granular and agranular |
Filled with enzymes and proteins to aid in the fight agains foreign microbes; 50-70%.(Leukocytes) | granular |
Neutrophils (Leukocytes) | Most abundant WBC; digest bacteria (phagocytosis) |
Eosinophils (Leukocytes) | Combat infection; control allergies and asthma. |
Basophils (Leukocytes) | Release histamines to defend the body. |
Agranular:(Leukocytes) | Without cytoplasmic granules 25-35% of all WBC's |
B- and T- cells; play a role in immunity | Lymphocytes (Leukocytes) |
Largest of the WBC's; stimulate other WBC's to defend the body. | Monocytes (Leukocytes) |
Thrombocytes & Platelets | Created in the Bone Marrow. Smallest of the blood cells (250,000 - 450,000 mm) Aid in the clotting process. Life span of 9-12 days. |
Plasma | Liquid portion of the blood. Contains clotting factors. Constitutes 55% of total blood volume. Composed of 90% water and 10% combination of: proteins, amino acids, gases, electrolytes, sugars, hnormones, lipids, waste products. |
The most significant element of plasman is albumin, which is responsible for osmotic pressure and molecular transport. | Plasma |
Serum | Blood plasma WITHOUT clotting factors. contains the same chemical makeup as plasma. |
Blood Types (ABO) | Based on the presence or absence of A and B antigens on the surface of RBC's. |
Antigen | A substance that prompts the generation of antibodies and can cause an immune response. |
Blood group AB | Individuals have both A and B antigens on the surface of their RBC's. |
Blood group A | Individuals have the A antigen on the surface of their RBC's. |
Blood group B | Individuals have the B antigen on the surface of their RBC's. |
Blood group O | Individuals have neither A nor B antigens on the surface of their RBC's. |
Hemoglobin (HGB) | Measures the level of hemoglobin in the blood, which determines the oxygen carrying ability. |
Red Cell Indices Mean Corpuscular Hgb (MCH) | determines the avg., amount of hemoglobin in the avg. RBC. |
Mean Corpuscular Hgb concentration (MCHC) | Determines the ratio of hemoglobin in a cell as compared to the size of the cell. |
Common Coagulation Tests | Includes, Activated clotting time, activated partial thromboplastin time, bleeding time, factor activity assays, fibrinogen and fibrin degradation tests, international normalized ratio, prothrombin time, thrombin clotting tieme. |
The Phlebotomist knows | Physicians typically order the following labs in order to assess the general health of the patient: Chem 7, ALP, AST, LDH, cholestrol, triglycerides, uric acid, total protein/albumin, bilirubin, calcium. |
(Common Chemistry Tests & Panels)Most Blood Chemistry Tests | Are performed on either Serum, or plasma. |
Blood Chem Tests/Panels | Serum is collected in a plain red-topped tube, without anticoagulants or in a serum separator tube (SST) clots for about 30 mins. before the serum is separated by a centrifuge. |
Blood Chem Tests/Panels | Plasma is collected with tubes that contain either heparin or fluoride. |
(Test Type) Chem 7 | (Test Purpose) To assess basic organ function; general metabolic screen/basic panel. |
