Who figured out why red cells may explode?
In 2018, researchers at Lund University in Sweden discovered that a protein called PIEZO1 plays a crucial role in preventing red blood cells from exploding under stress. This finding shed light on why some individuals may experience hemolysis, or the rupture of red blood cells, under certain conditions.
What is tiny blood cells that stop bleeding?
ypur blood platelets
What atoms make blood?
Atoms make up everything. You may be thinking of cells. As far as cells, red blood cells and white blood cells make up blood.
What are the side effects of the gold compounds?

Why do blood cells burst?
Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the body's cells. This is their main purpose. When the red blood cells burst, they lose the oxygen they were carrying, causing oxygen levels to fall.
Why would a person with leukemia have low numbers of red blood cells normal white blood cells and platelets in the blood?
A person with leukemia may have low red blood cells due to bone marrow being replaced by cancer cells, hindering normal red blood cell production. Low white blood cells and platelets may occur due to leukemia cells crowding out normal blood cell production in the bone marrow, leading to decreased production of white blood cells and platelets.
What impact do malignant lymphocytes have on the production of blood cells and platelets?
These malignant cells may crowd the bone marrow, and, depending on the stage, prevent the production of normal red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Is your immune system the white blood cells?
Yes, your immune system is a "team" of white blood cells that swallow other opposing cells or bacteria, and then destroy them. This process may destroy the blood cell.
True or false older red blood cells may be destroyed in the spleen?
True. There are blood capillaries within the red pulp of the spleen. Older, more fragile red blood cells may rupture as they pass through these capillaries and the resulting cellular debris is removed.
Are red and white and light purple a blood cell?
Mammals only have red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Platelets may appear purple under the microscope because of the stains used - but they are not referred to as 'purple blood cells'. Some white blood cells (eg. neutrophils and eosinophils) may also appear pink and/or light purple when stained with conventional stains (eg. H&E stain) - the nucleus is usually the most purple area of these cells. However, they are still white blood cells (despite looking pink/purple).
What do the following letters mean on a urinalysis WBC?
