TOPIC 1: BLOOD & BODY FLUIDS


Q1. Define Immunity + Acquired Immunity [4 marks]

Immunity = ability of the body to resist foreign organisms/toxins and protect itself from disease.
Acquired (Adaptive) Immunity develops after birth in response to specific antigens. It has specificity, memory, and self/non-self discrimination.
Two types:
  • Humoral (B-cell): B cells → plasma cells → antibodies (IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, IgE) → neutralise/opsonise antigens
  • Cell-mediated (T-cell): CD8+ cytotoxic T cells kill infected/tumour cells; CD4+ helper T cells coordinate via cytokines
Memory: After 1st exposure, memory B & T cells form → faster, stronger 2nd response

Q2. Haemophilia [3 marks]

Definition: X-linked recessive hereditary bleeding disorder due to clotting factor deficiency. Affects males.
  • Haemophilia A: Factor VIII deficiency (most common, 80%)
  • Haemophilia B (Christmas disease): Factor IX deficiency
  • Haemophilia C: Factor XI deficiency (autosomal)
Features: Prolonged bleeding, haemarthrosis (joint bleeds), prolonged aPTT, normal PT & platelets
Treatment: Replacement of deficient factor concentrate

Q3. Rh Factor [3 marks]

Definition: Group of antigens on RBC surface; most important = D antigen (discovered in Rhesus monkey)
  • Rh+ (85%): D antigen present
  • Rh- (15%): D antigen absent; anti-D antibodies form only after exposure
Clinical significance:
  • Transfusion: Rh- receiving Rh+ blood → sensitisation → haemolytic reaction on 2nd transfusion
  • Erythroblastosis fetalis: Rh- mother + Rh+ fetus → maternal anti-D IgG crosses placenta → destroys fetal RBCs

Q4. Innate Immunity [3 marks]

Definition: First line of defence; present from birth; non-specific; no memory
Components:
  • Physical barriers: Skin, mucous membranes, cilia
  • Chemical barriers: Lysozyme, HCl (gastric acid), defensins
  • Cellular: Neutrophils, macrophages, NK cells, dendritic cells
  • Soluble factors: Complement, interferons, cytokines (IL-1, TNF-α)
Key features: Non-specific, rapid (minutes-hours), NO memory

Q5. Landsteiner's Law [3 marks]

Statement: If an agglutinogen (antigen) is present on the RBC, the corresponding agglutinin (antibody) is ABSENT in plasma; and vice versa.
Blood GroupAntigen (RBC)Antibody (Plasma)
AAAnti-B
BBAnti-A
ABA & BNone (Universal Recipient)
ONoneAnti-A & Anti-B (Universal Donor)

Q6. Hazards of Mismatched Blood Transfusion [5 marks]

Immediate Haemolytic Reaction:
  • Agglutination + haemolysis of RBCs
  • Fever, chills, back/loin pain, hypotension, tachycardia
  • Haemoglobinaemia → haemoglobinuria (red/dark urine)
  • Acute renal failure (ATN) → anuria
  • Circulatory shock
Delayed Haemolytic Reaction: Days-weeks later; mild jaundice, anaemia
Allergic/Febrile Reactions: Urticaria, fever (minor antigen mismatch)
Infection Transmission: Hepatitis B/C, HIV, malaria (if blood unscreened)
Circulatory Overload: Rapid transfusion → pulmonary oedema, heart failure

Q7. Functions of Plasma Proteins [3 marks]

  • Albumin: Maintains oncotic pressure (prevents oedema); transports bilirubin, fatty acids, drugs
  • α/β Globulins: Transport lipids, metals (transferrin, caeruloplasmin), coagulation factors
  • γ-Globulins (Immunoglobulins): Antibodies — IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, IgE
  • Fibrinogen: Precursor of fibrin → blood clotting
  • Other: Buffer pH, contribute to blood viscosity, amino acid reserve

Q8. Mechanism of Immunity + Immunodeficiency Syndrome [10 marks]

Definition: Immunity = resistance to infection via specific immune mechanisms
Types: Innate (non-specific) + Acquired (specific)
Mechanism of Acquired Immunity:
Step 1 - Antigen Processing: APCs (macrophages/dendritic cells) present peptides on MHC molecules
Step 2 - Humoral Response:
  • Antigen binds B-cell receptor → CD4+ T-helper provides IL-2, IL-4
  • B cells → plasma cells → antibodies (IgM first → IgG)
  • Functions: neutralisation, opsonisation, complement activation
Step 3 - Cell-mediated Response:
  • CD8+ cytotoxic T cells: kill via perforin + granzymes
  • CD4+ helper T cells: cytokine secretion
Step 4 - Memory: Memory B & T cells → faster/stronger secondary response
Complement System: Classical (antibody) + Alternate (direct) → MAC → lysis

NOTE on AIDS/Immunodeficiency Syndrome:
Cause: HIV (retrovirus) — RNA virus with reverse transcriptase
Pathogenesis:
  • HIV targets CD4+ T-helper cells (also macrophages)
  • Uses CD4 + CCR5/CXCR4 co-receptor → enters cell
  • Reverse transcriptase: RNA → DNA → integrates as provirus
  • Progressive CD4+ destruction → CD4 <200/μL = AIDS
Clinical features:
  • Opportunistic infections: PCP, CMV, toxoplasmosis, cryptococcal meningitis
  • Malignancies: Kaposi's sarcoma, NHL
  • Wasting, dementia
Transmission: Sexual, blood, vertical (mother-child), needle sharing
Treatment: ART (NRTIs + Protease inhibitors + Integrase inhibitors)

Q9. Components of Blood + Anaemia [8 marks]

Blood volume: 5–6 L | Composition: Plasma (55%) + Formed elements (45%)
A. Plasma (55%):
  • Water 91%, Proteins 7% (albumin, globulins, fibrinogen)
  • Electrolytes: Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, Cl⁻
  • Organic: glucose, urea, amino acids, hormones
B. Formed Elements:
  • RBCs: 4.5–5.5 million/μL (♂); biconcave disc, no nucleus; Hb 14–16 g/dL; O₂/CO₂ transport
  • WBCs: 4,000–11,000/μL; Neutrophils 60–70%, Lymphocytes 20–30%, Monocytes 2–8%, Eosinophils 2–4%, Basophils 0.5–1%

  • Haematocrit: ♂ 45%, ♀ 40%

NOTE on Anaemia:
Definition: Hb <13 g/dL (♂) or <12 g/dL (♀)
Classification by MCV:
  • Microcytic (<80 fL): Iron deficiency, thalassaemia
  • Normocytic (80–100 fL): Aplastic, haemolytic, acute blood loss
  • Macrocytic (>100 fL): B12/folate deficiency (megaloblastic)
Symptoms: Fatigue, pallor, dyspnoea, palpitations, koilonychia (iron deficiency)

BBAnti-AB, ABB, O
ABA & BNoneAB onlyAll (Universal Recipient)
ONoneAnti-A & BAll (Universal Donor)O only

Q11. Blood Group Systems + Erythroblastosis Fetalis [10 marks]

Blood Group Systems:
  • ABO (Landsteiner, 1900): A, B, AB, O — based on A & B antigens
  • Rh system (1940): D antigen — Rh+ (85%), Rh- (15%)
  • MNS: M, N, S antigens
  • Kell: K and k antigens
  • Duffy: Fyᵃ and Fyᵇ
  • Kidd: Jkᵃ and Jkᵇ
  • Others: Lewis, Lutheran, Bombay (hh)
Basis for Classification: Specific glycoprotein/glycolipid antigens on RBC membrane; genetically controlled; obey Landsteiner's Law

NOTE on Erythroblastosis Fetalis (HDN):
Definition: Haemolytic disease of newborn due to Rh incompatibility (Rh- mother + Rh+ fetus)
Mechanism:
  • 1st pregnancy: Fetal Rh+ RBCs enter maternal blood at delivery → mother sensitised → forms anti-D IgG (mild)
  • 2nd pregnancy: Maternal anti-D IgG crosses placenta → attacks fetal RBCs → haemolysis
Effects:
  • Severe haemolytic anaemia → erythroblasts in blood (erythroblastosis)
  • Jaundice → kernicterus (bilirubin in brain → damage)
  • Hydrops fetalis (severe oedema) → stillbirth
Prevention: Anti-D immunoglobulin to Rh- mother within 72 hours of delivery
Treatment: Exchange transfusion, phototherapy

Q12. Functions of Platelets [5 marks]

Normal count: 1.5–4 lakh/μL | Lifespan: 8–10 days | From: Megakaryocytes
  1. Adhesion + Primary plug: Injury → collagen exposed → platelets adhere (vWF + GPIb) → activation → ADP/TXA₂ release → aggregation → primary platelet plug
  2. Coagulation surface: Platelet factor 3 (phospholipid) → coagulation cascade → fibrin clot
  3. Clot retraction: Thrombosthenin (actomyosin) contracts clot → wound edges approximate
  4. Vascular repair: PDGF + VEGF → endothelial proliferation + vessel healing
  5. Vasoconstriction: Serotonin (5-HT) release → reduces blood flow at injury site

Q13. Erythropoiesis [5 marks]

Definition: Formation and maturation of RBCs in red bone marrow (flat bones in adults)
Sites: Yolk sac (fetus 1st trimester) → liver/spleen (2nd) → bone marrow (3rd, adults)
Stages of Maturation:
  1. Proerythroblast: Large nucleus, basophilic cytoplasm; Hb synthesis begins
  2. Basophilic normoblast: Smaller; basophilic; Hb accumulates
  3. Polychromatic normoblast: Mixed pink + blue cytoplasm (polychromasia)
  4. Orthochromatic normoblast: Pyknotic nucleus; pink cytoplasm
  5. Reticulocyte: Nucleus extruded; residual RNA (seen on cresyl blue stain); released into blood
  6. Mature RBC: Biconcave disc, no nucleus, full Hb
Regulation:
  • EPO (Erythropoietin): From kidney (peritubular cells) in response to hypoxia → stimulates proliferation
  • Requirements: Iron (Hb synthesis), Vitamin B12 + Folic acid (DNA synthesis)

Q14. Clotting by Intrinsic Pathway [4 marks]

Triggered by: Exposure to negatively charged surfaces (collagen, glass) — all factors within blood
Steps:
  1. Factor XII (Hageman) → XIIa (contact activation; HMWK + prekallikrein assist)
  2. XIIa → Factor XIa
  3. XIa + Ca²⁺ → Factor IXa
  4. Tenase complex: IXa + VIIIa + Ca²⁺ + Phospholipid → Factor Xa (Factor VIII deficiency = Haemophilia A)
Common Pathway: 5. Xa + Va + Ca²⁺ + PL → Prothrombinase → Prothrombin → Thrombin 6. Thrombin → Fibrinogen → Fibrin monomers → polymerisation 7. Factor XIIIa → cross-linked stable fibrin clot
Lab test: aPTT tests intrinsic pathway (prolonged in Haemophilia A & B)

TOPIC 2: REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM


Q15. Ovulation [4 marks]

Definition: Rupture of Graafian follicle releasing secondary oocyte on Day 14 of 28-day cycle
Trigger: Rising oestrogen → LH surge (positive feedback) → ovulation within 36–48 hrs
Steps:
  1. Dominant follicle grows to ~20 mm
  2. LH surge → prostaglandins + proteolytic enzymes
  3. Follicular wall thins → ruptures at stigma
  4. Secondary oocyte + corona radiata expelled
  5. Oocyte enters fallopian tube (fertilisation in ampulla)
  6. Ruptured follicle → Corpus luteum (secretes progesterone + oestrogen)
Fate of corpus luteum:
  • No fertilisation → degenerates → corpus albicans → progesterone falls → menstruation
  • Fertilisation → hCG from trophoblast maintains it

Q16. Menstrual Cycle — Hormonal + Ovarian [5 marks]

Duration: 28 days (range 21–35)
A. Ovarian Cycle:
  • Follicular phase (Days 1–14): FSH → follicle growth → oestrogen rises → Day 14 LH surge → ovulation
  • Luteal phase (Days 14–28): Corpus luteum → progesterone (dominant) + oestrogen → if no fertilisation → degeneration → hormone fall
B. Uterine Cycle:
  • Menstrual phase (Days 1–5): Hormone fall → endometrium shed → bleeding
  • Proliferative phase (Days 6–14): Oestrogen → endometrium thickens
  • Secretory phase (Days 15–28): Progesterone → glands tortuous/secretory → ready for implantation
C. Hormonal Summary:
HormonePhaseAction
FSHFollicularFollicle growth
OestrogenRising in follicularProliferation; LH surge trigger
LH (surge)Day 14Triggers ovulation
ProgesteroneLutealSecretory endometrium; maintains pregnancy

Q17. Spermatogenesis + Mature Sperm [5 marks]

Definition: Diploid spermatogonia → haploid spermatozoa in seminiferous tubules; takes ~74 days
Hormonal control: FSH → Sertoli cells (ABP, support); LH → Leydig cells → testosterone
Stages:
  1. Spermatocytogenesis (Mitosis): Spermatogonia (2n) → Primary spermatocytes (2n)
  2. Meiosis I: Primary spermatocyte → 2 Secondary spermatocytes (n, 23 chr)
  3. Meiosis II: Each secondary → 2 Spermatids (n) → total 4 spermatids
  4. Spermiogenesis: Spermatid → spermatozoon (Golgi→acrosome; centriole→axoneme; mitochondria→midpiece; nucleus condenses)
Parts of Mature Sperm:
PartContentsFunction
HeadCondensed nucleus (haploid DNA) + Acrosome (hyaluronidase, acrosin)Penetrate zona pellucida
NeckCentriole (basal body)Initiates flagellar movement
MidpieceMitochondrial sheath around axonemeATP generation for motility
Principal piece/TailAxoneme (9+2 microtubules)Flagellar motility
End pieceTerminal tailFinal segment
Normal count: ≥15 million/mL | Motility: ≥40%

Q18. Contraceptive Methods [5 marks]

Temporary (Reversible):
1. Barrier:
  • Male condom (prevents STI too), Female condom, Diaphragm + spermicide
2. Hormonal:
  • Combined OCP (oestrogen + progestogen): inhibits ovulation + thickens mucus + alters endometrium
  • Progestogen-only pill (mini-pill): mucus thickening
  • Injectable (Depo-Provera): IM every 3 months
  • Implant (Nexplanon): subdermal, 3 years
3. IUDs:
  • Copper IUD: spermicidal, lasts 10 years
  • Hormonal IUD (Mirena): levonorgestrel, lasts 5 years
4. Natural:
  • Calendar/rhythm method, BBT method
  • Lactational Amenorrhoea Method (LAM): exclusive breastfeeding → prolactin → suppresses GnRH → anovulation (6 months)
5. Emergency:
  • Levonorgestrel (Plan B): within 72 hours
  • Copper IUD: within 5 days (most effective)
Permanent:
  • Vasectomy: vas deferens cut (male)
  • Tubectomy/Tubal ligation: fallopian tubes cut/tied (female)

Q19. Functions of Placenta [4 marks]

  1. Nutrition: Glucose (facilitated diffusion), amino acids (active transport), fatty acids cross to fetus
  2. Gas exchange: O₂ maternal → fetal; CO₂ fetal → maternal (fetal Hb has higher O₂ affinity)
  3. Excretion: Urea, creatinine, bilirubin pass to maternal blood for excretion
  4. Hormones:
    • hCG: maintains corpus luteum → progesterone; basis of pregnancy test
    • hPL: insulin antagonist; fetal growth; breast preparation
    • Progesterone: maintains decidua, prevents contractions
    • Oestrogens: uterine growth, breast preparation
  5. Immune: Transfers maternal IgG → passive immunity to neonate; barrier to most pathogens (TORCH organisms can cross)
  6. Barrier: Prevents blood mixing; limits large molecules; NOTE: drugs (alcohol, thalidomide), IgG, and some viruses DO cross
