PLATELET (Thrombocyte) - Short notes

-

 PLATELET ( THROMBOCYTE )

  • THROMBOCYTE: THROMBO- CLOT,CYTE- CELL.
  • SIZE : 2 - 4 micro meter in diameter 
  • COLOR; colorless
  • SHAPE: oval,disc shaped 
  • Platelets are seen using specialized stain such as leishmans stain ,on staining it appears bluish ,granular cytoplasm
  • There is  NO NUCLEUS present in platelet and hence cannot be reproduced .
  • Blood is a specialized body fluid .
  • Blood products : white blood cells ,red blood cells ,plasma ,platelet.
  • WHITE BLOOD CELLS :colorless ,nucleated cell,plays an important role in defense mechanism of body.
  • white blood cell include : neutrophil,eosinophil,basophil,lymphocyte and monocyte .
  • normal white blood cell count : 4,000 to 11,000 cells per milli meter cube .
  • RED BLOOD CELLS:  Red blood cell develop from erythrocyte ,derived from progenitor cells.
  • Normal hemoglobin level in blood : 
  1.  Adult male - 15 to 18 gram per deci litre 
  2. Adult female - 11.5-13 gram per deci litre
  3.  Newborn - 15 gram per deci litre
  4.  3 month old : 9 gram per deci litre.
  • PLASMA:  clear ,straw colored fluid with dissolved solid substances.
  • plasma constitutes 55% of blood.

  • platelets when observed on an electron microscope :
  • cell membrane : 
  1. Glycoprotein : This coats the plasma membrane prevent adhesion to endothelial cell ,accelerate adhesion to collagen at injured blood vessel.
  2. Phosphoipid : it plays an important role in blood coagulation 
  3. Invaginatin :canaliculai system 
  4. Receptor : bind to specific fibronogen and collagen
  5. Precursor; prostaglandin present.
  • MICRO TUBULE : compact bundle found beneath plasma membrane ,help in maintaining platelet shape.
  • CYTOPLASM: cytoplasm consist of contractile protein like actin,myosin,platelet derived growth factor and von willebrand factor.

 
  • PROPERTIES OF  PLATELET ; 
  1. ADHESION:  platelet adhesion is activated when met with wet able or rough surface ,due to presence of thrombaxone A2,thrombin, von willebrand factor.
  2. AGGREGATION: pile of platelet during clot formation due to presence of adinosine diphosphate and thrombaxone A2 .
  3. AGGLUTINATION: clumping of platelet due to platelet agglutinin.


  • ROLE OF PLATELET: 
  1. HEAMOSTASIS : spontaneous arrest of bleeding from injured blood vessel, for more information refer -  heamostasis
  2. clot formation: it helps in formation of intrinsic prothrombin.
  3. Role in clot retraction
  4. Repair of injured blood vessel
  5. Defense mechanism
  6. Storage and transport : 5 HT produced is transported to injured blood vessel

  • APPLIED ASPECT :  Normal platelet count : 1,50,000 per milli meter cube -4,50,000 milli meter cube.

  1. THROMBOCYTOSIS: Increase in platelet count above 4.5 lakhs per milli meter cube.
  2. THROMBOCYTOPENIA: Decrease in platelet count below 1.5 lakhs per milli meter cube.

DO  let me know in comment section if you  want me to post notes for each blood products .

HELLO! DOCTOR VANAKAM, I hope you all are doing good today we will be discussing sterilization various methods of sterilization, about dry heat sterilization and moist heat sterilization along with different methods employed, and what are the materials to be placed in this method in detail about autoclave its principle, working and of course uses. As I have had already informed you all through my previous post on the contribution of Louis Pasteur and Koch postulates if we haven't checked it out yet do check it out using this link   https://www.stencildent.com/2020/07/contributions-of-louis-pasteur-and-koch.html  wherein I would explain the importance for the need of the HOUR and always to sterilize things to and from the patients and also get geared up for the next post on SHOCK wherein I would cover the definition, types, classification along with etiology, pathogenesis, flow chart, the complication of septic shock in detail so now without any further ado lets get started.

                          HYPERSENSITIVITY   hello, doctor vanakam, I hope you all are doing good, as intimated through the last post on anaerobic culture method  https://www.stencildent.com/2020/08/anaerobic-culture-methods-microbiology.html  if u haven't checked it out do read using this link without any further ado lets get started. CONTENTS: 1)Definition 2)Classification 3)type 1 hypersensitivity reaction a)1st exposure b)2nd exposure c)mediators of reaction d)late-phase reaction 4)type 4 hypersensitivity 5)treatment  1)DEFINITION: It refers to a condition in which immune response results in excessive reaction leading to tissue damage, disease, or even death in a sensitised host. 2) CLASSIFICATION: Coomb and gel classification in 1963 into type 1 to 4  Type 1,    type 2, type 3       : They depend on the interaction of antigen with humoral antibodies They are the immediate-type reaction  type 4 : They are mediated by t lymphocyte Delayed-type of hypersensitive reaction 3)TYPE 1
