• Cause of purpura:- 
Anticoagulants: 
They used to prevent clotting inside the body  
1- HEPARIN: It is naturally occurring anticoagulant, formed in the body 
by mast cells and basophil leucocytes. It is a sulphated polysaccharide 
with strong acidic properties. its antidote is protamine sulphate  
Mechanism of action   
  -Antiprothrombin, 
antiprothrombin 
activator, 
antithrombin 
and 
fibrinolytic. 
2- COUMARIN DERIVATIVES As dicumarol and warfarin. 
There origin from plants and compete with vitamin K in the liver leading to 
inhibition of synthesis of factors II,VII, IX and X. its antidote is vitamin K 
 
White Blood Cells (WBCs) 
 
v These are the defensive cells of the blood. 
v Normal count of the WBCs =4000-11,000 cell/mm3. 
v They are synthesized in the bone marrow. Their life span ranges from hours 
to one day 
v There are 3 types of the granular leukocytes neutrophil, eosinophil and 
basophils 
v There are 2 types of the agranular leukocytes; lymphocytes and the 
monocytes

Red blood cells (RBCs) 
 
 
 
• RBCs are non-nucleated circular biconcave discs. 
• The normal RBCs count is 5 million/ mm3. 
 
The life span of the RBCs is 120 days formed in bone marrow

Erythropoiesis (Formation of the RBCs) 
 
• In adult life, the RBCs are formed in the bone marrow. 
 
 
 
 
 
33 
 
Functions of the RBCs:- 
A- Functions of the membrane 
1. Allow passage of RBCs through narrow capillaries (Plastic not elastic) 
2. The biconcave membrane gives large surface area for gas exchange  
3. Has selective permeability to ions. 
4. Keeps HB and carbonic anhydrase (CA) enzyme inside them. 
B- Functions of haemoglobin  
1. Carriage of gases 
2. Buffering action 
 
Anemias 
Definition:- decrease of the number of the RBCs or decrease heamoglobin 
percent than normal.

• Normal Hb% in male 13-16 gm/dl  
                          female 12-14 gm/dl  
Types of anemia  
Anemia can be classified according to the size and Hb content of each RBC 
to:  
1. Normocytic normochromic  
2. Microcytic hypochromic  
3. Macrocytic anemia 
 
 
Causes of normocytic normochromic anemia                            
1-Aplastic anaemia:-- Toxins , drugs and irradiation. 
2-Haemolytic anaemia as thalassemias and Sickle cell anemia 
3-Hemorrhagic anemia 
35 
 
Causes of microcytic hypochromic  
1- Chronic blood loss as in piles, bleeding peptic ulcer and excessive 
menestrutaion    
2-Deficiency anaemias as Iron Deficiency 
Causes of macrocytic anemia 
1-Pernicious an
