Why does the iron present in the blood does not rust?
A substance or complex of substances called prothrombin activator is formed in response to rupture of vessels or damage to the blood itself. The detailed mechanism by which prothrombin activator is formed are still incompletely understood, however, both involves a series of plasma proteins, especially beta- globulins which along with other blood clotting factors like factor IV (calcium)enter into clotting process. 2.Prothrombin activator catalyzes the conversion of prothrombin into thrombin in the presence of calcium. 3.The thrombin acts as an enzyme to convert fibrinogen into fibrin threads that enmesh platelets, blood cells and plasma to form a hard blood clot. Citrates and oxalates which are commonly used as anticoagulants are effective because they remove calcium from the blood by formation of insoluble citrate or oxalate salts of calcium. If calcium is added in excess the clotting power of blood is restored. In formation of oxy-hemoglobin, oxygen does not combine with two positive valences of the ferrous iron in the hemoglobin molecule. Instead, it binds loosely with one of the six "coordination" valences of the iron atom. This is an extremely loose bond so that combination is reversible. Furthermore, the oxygen does not become ionic oxygen but is carried as molecular oxygen to the tissue where it is released into the tissue fluids in the form of dissolved molecular oxygen rather than ionic oxygen. This explains why blood does not rust despite having the all necessary substrates for the formation of the rust
Where does the exchange of oxygen waste and nutrients occur?

Why does dish soap make water and oil collide?

Calcification means calcium is being deposited somewhere. Vascular calcification means there are deposits of calcium in the blood vessels. This turns the vessels hard like bone.
What are hardened deposits in the blood vessels?
Atherosclerosis
What tissue has lacuna calcium salts and blood vessels?
Osseous tissue has calcium, salts, and blood vessels.
What are blood vessels lacking from?
calcium
What is an angiogenesis?
An angiogenesis is the formation and development of new blood vessels.
What is clotting of blood in the blood vessels?
Also known as disseminated intravascular coagulation, this type of cardiovascular disease is a condition wherein there is excessive clotting and hemorrhage throughout the body and can lead to organ failure or worst, death
What is the medical term meaning growth and development of blood vessels?
The term for new formation of blood vessels is angiogenesis.
How will you keep your blood vessels from deposits?
Stay away from fats and high cholesterol and exercise regularly.
What is the formation of new blood vessels is called?
B. Angiogenesis
What body regions are impacted by fatty compounds in the blood vessels?
A collection of fatty deposits eventually affects blood vessels in the skin, heart, kidneys, and nervous system.
What is the medical term meaning skin deposits of excess levels of blood cholesterol?
Atherosclerosis is the medical term for the accumulation of fatty deposits in the blood vessels. Atherosclerosis can lead to heart attacks and strokes if not treated properly because the vessels narrow and restrict the blood flow.
