What else can I help you with?
Why do they call red blood cells red blood cells?
RBC's can be bright red when they are exposed to Oxygen.
Red blood cells are in blood cells?
No. They are part of what we call blood.
What is the only artery that carries oxygen-poor called?
If it's carrying oxygen-poor blood, it must be going to the lungs, so I would guess you would call that the pulmonary artery.
Why do you need red blood cells?
Red blood cells are vital in our bodies because they are solely responsible for delivering oxygen to the organs in our body. If we didn't have any red blood cells, we wouldn't last 5 seconds because our organs will shut down due to oxygen deprivation. Red blood cells contain an important component called Hemoglobin. This protein contains iron and carries oxygen. The lungs play an important role because they allow oxygen to diffuse into the blood cells. The blood cells are then pumped along with the rest of the blood throughout the body where they transfer the oxygen to each of our organs.
What do you call a population of cells carrying a desired plasmid?
A plasmid is a small molecule of DNA that replicate independently within the cell. A population of cells carrying a desired plasmid is called a clone.
What do we call a situation the cells are not receiving enough oxygen?
oxygen deprivation or anoxic (depending on degree)
How do cardiac muscle cells die?
From a lack of blood flow which is usually caused by some kind of blockage. If the muscle cells can't get blood, they can't get oxygen and they start to die. This is call necrosis. If the lack of blood last long enough a heart attack will occur.
What is a journey of a red blood cells?
Red blood cells are found in blood and after being pumped by the heart they travel through your body carrying oxygen and removing carbon dioxide. They get oxygen in the lungs and leave the carbon dioxide there at the same time. It takes roughly 5 minutes for a cell to return to the heart. The red blood cell is not able to reproduce and it has a life expectancy of 90 days. That means that 90 days from now all of your red blood cells will have been broken down and their components recycled into new ones. Pretty cool, eh? The journey will change dramatically if you get cut, at this point they spill out on the floor and make a mess. People call this a 'wound'. If you jugular gets 'wounded' you may lose so many red blood cells that you die from a lack of oxygen to your brain and body. Furthermore blood makes a terrible mess on the ground and is very difficult to remove from the trunk of a car.
What is the name of the process when oxygen moves out of cells?
The process is called cellular respiration. Oxygen moves out of the cells during the final step of cellular respiration, where it is used to produce energy (ATP) through a series of chemical reactions.
How do you call the process where digested food and oxygen are distributed to the body cells?
circulation
What does Oxygen allow animals to do?
Oxygen, inhaled through the lungs for most animals, puts oxygen into blood as it passes by small parts of the lungs call alveoli. This oxygenated blood flows all over the body, eventually bringing oxygen and other molecules to the cells via capillaries, the smallest of the chambers that carry blood. Once inside the cell, oxygen is used in a process called cell respiration, which creates ATP (the main source of energy for cell processes)
What do you call the smaller cells in your blood stream?
the answer is the join of all sources coming together is called blood holes and then comes the smaller cells in your blood stream is called ''piegopheres''
