How does carbon dioxide molecules reach red blood cells from respiring tissue?
Red blood cells have the responsibility of transporting oxygen throughout the body. About 33% of the weight of a red blood cell is attributed to a specialized protein called hemoglobin. Because of this, red blood cells are often referred to as "bags of hemoglobin."
Is Goiter a nonmalignant enlargement of the thyroid gland?
a goiter is a noncancerous enlargement of the thyroid gland, visible as a swelling at the front of the neck, that is often associated with iodine deficiency. Also calledstrumagoitre
How do you stop eye from twitching?
Often it is a mineral deficiency that causes the twitch - usually a magnesium deficiency.
What ugly word describes a deficiency of thyroid hormones often because of iodine deficiency?
Cretinism
What the rationale for taking body temperature before doing ABG analysis?
ABG (Arterial Blood Gases) is a measurement of oxygen saturation in the arterial blood which supplies oxygenated blood to the body tissue and the extraction of oxygen from the hemoglobin at the capillary level. The amount of oxygen saturation of the hemoglobin (HbO2) depends on hemoglobin concentration and the arterial pressure often referred to as Hemoglobin / O2 dissociation curve. At lower body temperature, less oxygen is bounded to hemoglobin, while at higher temperature slightly more oxygen is bounded to hemoglobin. It is therefore important to know the body temperature when the ABG analysis is done so as to have a more meaningful interpretation of the result.
Which condition is often an indication of iron-deficiency anemia?
Koilonychia!
What does furled brow mean?
A furled brow typically refers to a facial expression where the brow is tense or contracted, often indicating confusion, concentration, or displeasure. It is commonly associated with deep thought, concern, or frustration.
What causes xeropthalmia?
This is extreme dryness of the eyes. Often caused by a deficiency of Vitamin A.
The way to express gas concentration?
Gas concentration is often expressed in parts per million.
What happen when hematocrit level is low normal range?
The hematocrit is the percentage of the blood that is red blood cells so a low hematocrit usually means the red blood cells are low. The most common reason for this is increased blood loss, often from menstrual or gastrointestinal bleeding. It could also be from decreased production due to a bone marrow problem or vitamin or iron deficiency or some more unusual problems.
What color is associated with Shinto?
White is most often associated with Shinto.
Molecular weight of hemoglobin?
Hemoglobin A (the type most often found in adults) has a molecular weight of 68 000 Da. Daltons (Da), atomic mass units (amu), and molar weight are all equivalent, so hemoglobin A has a molecular weight of 68 000g/mol.
