Captulo 1 CARACTERISTICAS GERAIS

Componentes o nico tecido lquido do organismo. Contem elementos slidos, os elementos figurados, e um elemento lquido, o plasma. No tem fibras mas contem protenas fibrosas dissolvidas que aparecem como filamentos de fibrina quando o sangue coagula. Centrifugando uma amostra de sangue, os elementos figurados separam-se do plasma, surgindo trs camadas a camada eritrocitria, a camada leucocitria e o plasma. Quando se deixa coagular o sangue num tubo de ensaio fica um cogulo e um lquido amarelado, o soro.

Red blood cells (RBCs) transport oxygen specialised to do this Also carry some CO2

White blood cells the bodies defence part of the immune system much larger than RBCs far fewer have a nucleus 4000-13000 per mm3 2 types phagocytes and lymphocytes

Platelets if you get cut: platelets produce tiny fibrin threads these form a web-like mesh that traps blood cells. these harden forming a clot, or "scab." 150,000 to 400,000 per mm3
