00:01 So in a nutshell. 00:03 Blood is composed of plasma which is mostly water and blood cells. 00:07 These blood cells include red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. 00:12 Red blood cells are generated in the bone marrow after stimulation by erythropoeitin from the kidneys. 00:18 Hemoglobin is the iron-containing oxygen transport protein of red blood cells. 00:23 There are different types of white blood cells including granulocytes which are basophils, eosinophils and neutrophils. 00:30 Lymphocytes which are natural killer cells are B-cells and our T-cells, and monocytes which are eventually going to mature into macrophages. 00:39 Platelets are responsible for maintaining the hemostasis of the body, and you need to be aware when you're drawing from a pediatric patient the safe volume and the site basedoin the child's age and weight. 00:52 Thank you for watching this lecture on basics of blood.
The lecture Blood Components: In a Nutshell (Nursing) by Paula Ruedebusch is from the course Blood Disorders – Pediatric Nursing.
After stimulation of erythropoietin from the kidneys has occurred, where are red blood cells (RBCs) generated?
What blood component is responsible for maintaining hemostasis?
