Hayem's solution contain Mercuric chloride, sodium sulphate, sodium chloride and distilled water. It dissolves WBCs, dilutes RBCs and provides an isotonic environment for RBCs.
RBC's (Red Blood Cells)only lose their nucleus when it and the organelles begin to mature. RBCS are known to lack a mitochondria, which it will depend on anaerobic fermentation to produce ATP.
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.
My Anatomy and Physiology book says: "Blood is the only fluid tissue in the body. It appears to be a thick, homogeneous liquid, but the microscope reveals that blood has both cellular and liquid components."
Blood and Drabkins Reagent (RBCs lysed and Hgb released) Hgb oxidized to methoglobin by K ferricyanide Resulting pigment converted to stable cyanmethoglobin by Kcyanide Absorption of pigment measured photometrically at 540nm Concentration of Hgb is directly proportional to optical density of solution
It is actually the name given to the molecule found in the RBCs that is carrying oxygen. It is called oxyhemoglobin.
When blood leaves the lungs the RBCs are carrying oxygen to be delivered to the tissues of the body.
Yes. Mature RBCs lack the necessary organelles to perform any other processes besides glycolysis. They rely on anaerobic glycolysis for energy.
If the patient blood levels fall (maybe due to hemorrhage), the oxygen that the RBCs are carrying is lost with the blood. The person will feel 'out of breath'.

The RBCs shed the oxygen molecules in the capillaries
to transport oxygen all around the body.
In mature humans (and most mature mammals), erythrocytes (red blood cells, RBCs) are made in the medulla (center cavity) of the long bones like the femur, the humerus and tibia. In young mammals, there are several sites of extra-medullary hematopoiesis such as the spleen.
Hemoglobin present inside the RBCs provides oxygen to the tissues when the RBCs reach them via the capillaries
Red blood cells (RBCs) are the oxygen-carrying cells in circulation in the body. RBCs contain the molecule hemoglobin that can bind oxygen (O2) and transport it all over the body. Anemia is lack of sufficient RBCs (and hemoglobin) to carry enough O2. You get tired easily, have muscle weakness, and your heart struggles. Your bone marrow will produce more RBCs that need more hemoglobin to fill them. Hemoglobin has iron in the center that binds to the O2. So you need RBC production from the bone marrow and iron intake from the diet to produce more O2-carrying capacity. This causes your RBC count, the number of RBCs in circulation per unit volume, to increase. RBC count is called the Red Cell Count (RCC). RCC in cells/femtoliter = hematocrit divided by mean corpuscular volume in femtoliters per cell.
Red Blood Cells (RBCs) have hemoglobin. Hemoglobin picks up oxygen, like giving a piggy-back ride. The RBCs in the blood circulate throughout the body.
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.
