I know one is a leech- they secrete a compound called lepirudin. It is in their saliva to stop your blood from clotting while they suck your blood- it would kill their meal! We have learned to make synthetic versions of this compound to be used as drugs to stop unwanted clotting.
What else can I help you with?
What level should your blood be at when you are on blood thinners?
my level should be between 2 -3. Less 2 to thick makes clots more than 3 to thin, can bleed out.
Is glipizide er a blood thinner?
No, glipizide ER (extended-release) is not a blood thinner. It is an oral medication used to help control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin. Blood thinners, on the other hand, are medications that reduce the blood's ability to clot, which is a different therapeutic purpose.
How isotope dilution is used to determine blood volumes in living animals?
Isotope dilution is used to determine blood volumes in living animals by predicting their isotope numbers. An example is the radioactive isotopes have a 1/2 life and that would mean it goes down by half each time.
What medication might a patient be on that would require you to put pressure on a venipuncture for more than 2 or 3 minutes?
Blood thinners such as Coumadin/warfarin. Vein punctures could take much longer to clot and seal.
How many liters of blood do you used in your body?

Which of the following creatures has no blood but respires 1 fish 2 earthworm 3 hydra 4 cockroach?
All animals respire, but some simple animals, such as cnidarians (anemones, jellyfish, and relatives), and sponges don't have blood.
How many blood cells do animals have?
The number of blood cells in animals varies depending on the species and size of the animal. In general, mammals have billions to trillions of blood cells. Humans, for example, are estimated to have around 20-30 trillion red blood cells and about 2-3 trillion white blood cells in their bodies.
How is technology used to diagnose or treat type 2 diabetes?
Insulin is used to monitor the levels of blood sugar in diabetics. It can be diagnosed with a blood test.
How can clumping of red blood cells be cured?
A drop in pH of the blood (more acidic) results in an increased stickiness and clumping of the blood. The condition can be directly improved simply by taking 2 teaspoons of Baking soda dissolved in warm water. You can add 2 teaspoons of honey to help it go down easier.

How did Aristotle classified animals on the basis of?
Aristotle's classification of animals grouped together animals with similar characters into genera (used in a much broader sense than present-day biologists use the term) and then distinguished the species within the genera. He divided the animals into two types: those with blood, and those without blood (or at least without red blood). These distinctions correspond closely to our distinction between vertebrates and invertebrates. The blooded animals, corresponding to the vertebrates, included five genera: viviparous quadrupeds (mammals), birds, oviparous quadrupeds (reptiles and amphibians), fishes, and whales (which Aristotle did not realize were mammals). The bloodless animals were classified as cephalopods (such as the octopus); crustaceans; insects (which included the spiders, scorpions, and centipedes, in addition to what we now define as insects); shelled animals (such as most molluscs and echinoderms); and "zoophytes," or "plant-animals," which supposedly resembled plants in their form -- such as most cnidarians.
How are leaves helpful to animals?
1. Leaves in plants photosynthesise, whereby they give out oxygen, which is used by animals in respiration. 2. Leaves are a source of food for some animals. (They eat leaves.)
