What transports zinc?
zinc's main transport vehicle in the blood is the protein ALBUMIN, which is a major determinant of zinc absorption.
What three major processes of nutrient absorption must be combined with a carrier molecule for transport?
Facilitated diffusion and Active transport must be combined with a carrier molecule for transport. Simple diffusion does not.
What are the functions of the major systems of the body?
circulatory system: to transport blood to the heart digestive system: the chewing of food for energy
What substences dus blood plasma transport?
Plasma carries red and white blood cells, and any other dissolved nutrients that have gotten into the blood stream (alcohol, simple sugars, drugs, etc.) around to the body's major organs.
Is a protein channel active transport?
They are two major active transport proteins.
What transports zinc?
zinc's main transport vehicle in the blood is the protein ALBUMIN, which is a major determinant of zinc absorption.
What are major functions of plasma proteins?
Albumin=exertion of osmotic pressure. Globulins=immunity. Fibrinogen=hemostasis and viscosity.
What three major processes of nutrient absorption must be combined with a carrier molecule for transport?
Facilitated diffusion and Active transport must be combined with a carrier molecule for transport. Simple diffusion does not.
Name the major blood vessels that carry blood from the lungs to the heart?
arteries are the major blood vessels that can transport blood from lungs to heart
What is the major work of your red blood cell?
major work of the red blood cell is to transport oxygen to the entire tissues of the body
Why do we infuse iv albumin in a person?
To treat a variety of conditions, including shock due to blood loss in the body, burns, low protein levels due to surgery or liver failure, and as an additional medicine in bypass surgery. It may be used for certain conditions as determined by your doctor. Albumin (Human) is a concentrate of plasma proteins from human blood. It works by increasing plasma volume or serum albumin levels. Albumin is a major plasma protein produced in the liver. It increased the oncotic pressure of the blood and an increased oncotic pressure will draw fluid from the interstitial space into the blood vessel. During shock, a patients blood pressure decreases dangerously. By infusing albumin, we can increase the oncotic (colloid) pressure of the blood, draw more fluid from the interstitial space into the blood, and effectively increase blood pressure by increasing blood volume. Do not infuse albumin if: * you are allergic to any ingredient in Albumin (Human) * you have or have ever had heart failure, kidney failure or stable chronic anemia, or you are at risk for fluid overload
What is the most abundant plasma protein?
Serum albumin accounts for 55-60% of blood proteins, and is a major contributor to maintaining osmotic pressure.
I am a thalassemia patient.i have to transfuse blood regulerly and im doin very well..my bf is goin to check for thalassemia...if he is a thala carrier and if we marry will we have a child like me?
If you have Thalassemia major but your boyfriend is not a carrier then the child will be born a healthy carrier (thalassemia minor) but shouldn't need blood transfusions. If your boyfriend is a carrier then you would have a 50% chance of having a child with thalassemia major like you do.
What are blood fractions?
In referring to blood, the four major components that make up whole blood are RBC's, WBC's, Plasma and Platelets. Fractions are included in each of the 4 components. Examples include: Immune Globulins, Albumin, Clotting Factors etc.
Three major characteristics of the respiratory system?
1)Breathing2) Transport of O2 from the lungs to the rest of the body; transport of CO2 from the tissues back to the lungs3) O2 diffuses from Red Blood Cells into body cells; CO2 moves into the blood
What are the functions of the major systems of the body?
circulatory system: to transport blood to the heart digestive system: the chewing of food for energy
Which plasma protein is a major contributor to the osmotic pressure of plasma?
Serum Proteins.
