Composition of Blood Composition of Blood
o Plasma—a liquid suspending other blood components
o Red blood cells (Erthrocytes)—carries oxygen to the body’s cells and carbon dioxide away
o White blood cells (Leukocytes)—fights disease and foreign invaders and, alone, contain cell nuclei
o Platelets—aids in blood clotting and the repair of damaged blood vessels

o Discovered in 1900 by Karl Landsteinero Identifies the presence or absence of particular
proteins embedded in the cello Quicker and less expensive than DNA profilingo Produces class evidence but can still link a
suspect to a crime scene or exclude a suspect
![Page 9: Ch 8: Blood & Blood Spatter: Day 1 Vocabulary – p195](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/5681366d550346895d9dfcac/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Blood Typing—Antibodies
o Antibodies are Y-shapedproteins secreted by whiteblood cells that attach toantigens to destroy them
o Antigens are foreign molecules or cells that react to antibodies
![Page 12: Ch 8: Blood & Blood Spatter: Day 1 Vocabulary – p195](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/5681366d550346895d9dfcac/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Forensic Science: Fundamentals & Investigations, Chapter 8 13
Blood Enzymes
o Enzymes are complex proteins that catalyze different biochemical reactions
o Many enzymes and proteins have been found in the blood that are important for identification purposes
![Page 13: Ch 8: Blood & Blood Spatter: Day 1 Vocabulary – p195](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/5681366d550346895d9dfcac/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Forensic Science: Fundamentals & Investigations, Chapter 8 14
Blood Typing—Probability and Blood Types
o The probability of a blood type equals the product of probabilities for each protein group
If Type A = 42% and Rh Factor = 85%
Then A+ = .42 x .85 = .357 (35.7%)o Knowing additional proteins and enzymes in the
blood sample • Narrows the population group • Increases the probability of identifying a suspect
![Page 14: Ch 8: Blood & Blood Spatter: Day 1 Vocabulary – p195](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/5681366d550346895d9dfcac/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Blood Splatter
o 1939—splatter patterns first analyzed
o Blood may splatter when a wound is inflictedo Blood splatter pattern—a grouping of blood
stainso Patterns help to reconstruct the events
surrounding a shooting, stabbing, or beating
![Page 15: Ch 8: Blood & Blood Spatter: Day 1 Vocabulary – p195](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/5681366d550346895d9dfcac/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Forensic Science: Fundamentals & Investigations, Chapter 8 16
Blood Splatter Analysis
Analysis of a splatter pattern can aid in determining the:
• direction blood traveled
• angle of impact
• point of origin of the blood
• velocity of the blood
• manner of death

Blood Splatter Analysis
Natural cohesiveness of blood
![Page 17: Ch 8: Blood & Blood Spatter: Day 1 Vocabulary – p195](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/5681366d550346895d9dfcac/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Forensic Science: Fundamentals & Investigations, Chapter 8 18
Blood Splatter Analysis
o Satellite droplets—• When blood falls from a height, or at a high velocity,• It overcomes its natural cohesiveness, and • Separates from the main droplet
o Spiking patterns—• Form around the droplet
edges when blood falls onto a less-than-smooth surface
![Page 18: Ch 8: Blood & Blood Spatter: Day 1 Vocabulary – p195](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/5681366d550346895d9dfcac/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Forensic Science: Fundamentals & Investigations, Chapter 8 19
Blood Splatter Analysis—Directionality
The shape of an individual drop of blood provides clues to the direction from where the blood originated.
How will the point of impact compare with the rest of a blood pattern?
![Page 19: Ch 8: Blood & Blood Spatter: Day 1 Vocabulary – p195](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/5681366d550346895d9dfcac/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Blood Splatter Analysis—Impact
Patterns can help investigators determine the type of weapon used
o What kind of a pattern is produced by a gun shot?
o What kind of a pattern is produced by a hammer blow?

Crime Scene Investigation of Blood
1. Search for blood evidence 2. Determine
a. Is the evidence blood?b. Is the blood human?c. What is the blood type?
3. Interpret the findings: a. Does the blood type match a suspect’s blood?b. If not, exclude that suspectc. If yes, decide if DNA profiling is necessary

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Summary
o Blood consists of cellular components and plasma. o The various human blood types are caused by the
presence or absence of A and/or B proteins on the surface of red blood cells.
o Blood splatter evidence can be used to recreate a crime scene.
o Investigators endeavor to (a) locate, (b) identify, and (c) interpret blood splatter patterns at crime scenes.
