Extravascular hemolysis occurs when degradation of rbc's by macrophages occur in the liver and spleen. The most common form of extravascular hemolysis occurs in hemolytic anemia.

Why we can not extract DNA from RBCs?
We can not extract DNA from RBCs as they are without nucleus. only the source of DNA extraction is Leukocytes, RBCs are not good source of extraction but we can extract DNA from immature RBCs.
What system is spleen lymphatic tissuue?
Yes, it is lympahtci tissue but is recycles RBCs and stores many RBCs in case of a massive blood loss.
What is the processes through which Red Blood Cell components are recycled?
Macrophages in the spleen, liver and red bone marrow phagocytize the worn out RBCs. The heme and globin portions are split apart. The globin is broken down into its amino acid components to be used for other proteins. The iron is removed from the heme portion where it is eventually transported back to the red bone marrow to be incorporated into new RBCs. The non-iron portion of heme goes through a series of chemical conversions that eventually end up as stercobilin in the large intestine which is what gives feces its characteristic brown color.
Does mature human red blood cells fight pathogens?
No, they don't fight pathogens, they just transport oxygen around the body. It is the white blood cells called neutrophils and monocytes which are involved in phagocytosis, and thereby fighting pathogens.
Two components of blood that make clotting possible?
The most important part of clotting is the platelets. These cells are designed specifically to activate when bleeding occurs. However, special proteins are required to allow the platelets to do their job. ,
What is the difference between Agglutination and Hemolysis?
Hemolysis is the degradation of RBCs. Agglutination is the reaction that occurs when antibodies bind to the antigen. Agglutination looks cloudy while hemolysis will be clear.
How are red blood cells recycled?
Eventually the RBCs are unable to spring back into shape as they pass through capillaries and this lack of flexibility traps old RBCs in the spleen. The damaged RBCs are phagocytosed by macrophages, the proteins are hydrolyzed, iron is concentrated in transferrin and the chemical frame of the heme structure is partially disassembled and ultimately eliminated as part of the bile used in digestion. Millions of RBCs are born and recycled each day to maintain a constant level of oxygen in tissues .
What would happen if your spleen exploded?
The spleen is not necessary for life but does have important functions: 1. Defense -macrophages lining sinusoids of spleen remove microorganisms from blood and phagocytose (eat) them. 2. Hematopoiesis -monocytes (white blood cell) and lymphocytes (white blood cell) complete their development in the spleen. 3. Red blood cell and platelet destruction-macrophages remove worn-out RBCs and imperfect platelets and destroy them by phagocytosis (eating); also salvage iron and globin from destroyed RBCs 4. Blood reservoir -pulp of spleen and its sinuses store blood for when you really need extra blood. If you noticed a "stitch" in your side when running hard, that is the spleen adding blood to the system so you will get oxygen.
Macrophages or phagocytes are inhibited by the increased amound of RBCs in the inflamed area T or F?
I'm pretty sure its false. I have it marked false on my hw and I think i found it in the chapter. Keep googling though just in case.
When a blood vessels are injured there are tiny blank in the blood that help the blood to clot and seal the cut?
The blood always has platelets, and RBCs have macrophages. Platelets help clot the blood. Macrophages start to clean up debris and any infection. The site of a cut becomes warm and slightly red because of the cellular activity being increased in the localized area.
Why shivering occurs in case of malaria until a person is suffering from high fever?
A person suffering from malaria has those parasites entering into his RBCs by breaking the cells.Since several parasites are involved in the invasion there is a greater destruction of the RBCs which produces shivering

What is the significance of Enumerated?
low rbcs count shows anaemia high rbcs count show polycythemia vera. rbcs enumerations shows the bonemarrow how much active.
What is the significance of RBC enumeration?
low rbcs count shows anaemia high rbcs count show polycythemia vera. rbcs enumerations shows the bonemarrow how much active.
What disorder occurs with jaundice?
The hemoglobin that is released when the cells die is turned into bilirubin. If for any reason the RBCs die at a faster rate than usual, bilirubin can accumulate in the blood and cause jaundice.
What test is used to determine the volume of packed RBCs?
Hematocrit measures the volumeof packed RBCs as a percentage of blood volume.
What is the percentage RBCs in your body?
45%
