Module I Biochemistry of Blood: Physical properties and constituents of blood, types of blood cells- RBC, WBC, Lymphocytes and Platelets. Hemoglobin: Structure and Function of hemoglobin, types of hemoglobin, abnormal hemoglobin, bile pigments formation, iron metabolism- absorption and transport. Blood Clotting: Mechanism of Blood Clotting (Intrinsic and extrinsic pathway), Clotting factors, anticoagulants, Bleeding time, Clotting time, Hemopoiesis, Blood forming organs, erytrhropoiesis, leucopoiesis. Blood Groups: Classification, Chemical basis for blood group specificity
