Why does magnesium bicarbonate required double amount of lime for softening?
Magnesium bicarbonate is a relatively strong base and requires twice as much lime to neutralize it compared to other magnesium compounds.
What does the red blood cells do?
Red blood cells are responsible for moving oxygen through the body. When you have low amounts (anemia), or high amounts (too much oxygen being produced) can be dangerous. There are a few different terms. One type is hemoglobin. This is the one where the oxygen is carried. Then when carbon dioxide is being carried, it is known as carboxyhemoglobin.
What carries needed substances to body cells?
Needed substances are carried to the body's cells by RBC's, or red blood cells. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, a substance that allows proteins to bond to them. However WBC's(white blood cells) provide the body's cells with much needed protection.
How much does that volume of blood weigh 24 hours of blood in total?
Your volume of blood does not change significantly over 24 hours. The density of blood is approximately 1060 kg/m3. Which means a litre of blood weighs 1.06 kgs. Typically, a person may have about 5 litres of blood in their body.
What causes high blood carbon dioxide levels?
How is it measured? Was it measured from a venous blood sample and run by a chemistry, or was it measured from an arterial blood sample and run as an arterial blood gas? These two measurements tell you different things. On the chemistry panel, the CO2 actually measures serum bicarbonate, and an elevated serum bicarbonate level may indicate a metabolic alkalosis or a chronic acidosis. An infusion of bicarbonate, or taking bicarbonate regularly may also elevate this measurement, as will chronic vomiting. On an arterial blood gas measurement, an elevated CO2 indicates decreased ventilation and failure to "breathe off" CO2. This frequently is caused by respiratory failure caused by drugs the suppress the respiratory drive or medical conditions, such as COPD.
How much oxygen is carried in the blood?
1000000000000000 grams
What are two things that blood carries to each blood cell?
it is when two cells are much bigger then oneoxygen and energy are the 2 things that are carried by blood to each body cell.
Can sodium bicarbonate solution be used in a nebulizer?
how much bicarbonate of soda should one use in a nebulizer
What is the blood volume of an average lab mouse?
The average blood volume for a laboratory mouse is ~6-8% of total body weight. So a mouse of 20g = 1.2-1.6mL. Note: you will not be able to collect this much blood as this is the total blood volume. The total peripheral blood would be ~ 60-70% of the total blood volume.
What does desaturation mean in medical terms?
Desaturation is a decrease in oxygen saturation, which is a measure of how much oxygen is being carried in the blood.
What are two things that blood carries to each body cells?
it is when two cells are much bigger then oneoxygen and energy are the 2 things that are carried by blood to each body cell.
How much of the body's total blood does the brain receive?
15-20%
What happens if too much intravenous sodium bicarbonate is infused?
acid base imbalance in the body My best guess: all that sodium in the blood is an upset of the electrolyte balance and will pull all the water out of the cells and into the blood. Cells will dehydrate; the person will die.
What is the weight of sodium bicarbonate?
That would depend on how much you have to weigh.
Does deoxygenated blood mean no oxygen blood?
Taken literally, deoxygenated means "without oxygen," but physiologically it means blood that has dropped its oxygen load to the tissues. There is still oxygen bound to hemoglobin in deoxygenated blood, just not as much as oxygenated blood.
What is the maximum o2 that can be carried in arterial blood?
The maximum amount of oxygen that can be carried in arterial blood is approximately 20.2 mmol/L. This is equivalent to about 98.5% of the oxygen that is dissolved in the plasma. The remaining 1.5% is bound to hemoglobin and is termed oxyhemoglobin. The amount of oxygen that can be carried by the blood is dependent on the concentration of hemoglobin in the blood as well as the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin. The oxygen saturation of hemoglobin is determined by the partial pressure of oxygen in the environment which is why the amount of oxygen that can be carried varies in different environments. The following factors affect the amount of oxygen that can be carried in arterial blood: Hemoglobin concentration Oxygen saturation of hemoglobin Partial pressure of oxygen in the environmentHemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that binds to oxygen and carries it throughout the body. The concentration of hemoglobin in the blood is an important factor in determining how much oxygen can be carried. The oxygen saturation of hemoglobin is determined by the partial pressure of oxygen in the environment. This means that the amount of oxygen that can be carried in the blood varies in different environments. For example in a high-altitude environment where the partial pressure of oxygen is lower the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin is also lower resulting in less oxygen being carried in the blood.
How much oxygen is transported by 1 gm of hemoglobin in blood?
1.33 grams of oxygen is carried by each gram of normal healthy hemoglobin.
