Red blood cells are negatively charge. When a negative charge meets another negative charge, supposedly it will repel. When red blood cells stick together, it means that the normal negative charge of the red blood cell change to positively charge causing it to effect other red blood cells. This may due to the presence of bacteria, fungus and many more. This may also due to the unhealthy eating habits.

Wonderful, reduced healthy negative charge, promotes RBCs sticking. Can you confirm inflammation, infection, bacteria, fungus in teh body also promote sticking RBCs into Rouleaux?

What are the parts of the blood and what are their functions?

There are 3 main groups of cells in the blood; erythrocytes (red blood cells,) leukocytes (white blood cells,) and thrombocytes (platelet cells.) Erythrocytes carry oxygen to all of the parts of the body. Leukocytes fight germs in the blood and lymph. Thrombocytes stick together to form a clot when a person is bleeding. The liquid part of the blood where all of the cells float in is called plasma.


Do cells stick together or stay far apart?

Both. There are too many different types of cells to mention but for example, skin or epithelial cells are obviously stuck very close together. Blood platelets, or cells, are free moving for obvious reasons. In order to answer this question more correctly you need to be more specific.


What will happen if two incompatible blood types are mixed?

The type B blood has an antigen on the red cells identifying them as B type cells. The type A blood of the recipient contains antibodies that bind to B type antigens. These antibodies will cause the red cells of the blood in the transfusion to stick together forming solid lumps in the blood, preventing it from flowing.


What are white blood cells made up of?

White blood cells are made up of monocytes, lymphocytes, neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils. White blood cells are the immunity cells, as they are always fighting invaders that threaten the body's health.


How the body's white blood cells respond to infection?

Once the white blood cells realise that there is a pathogen (unwanted microbe) in the body, it tracks it down and tries to destroy it. They do this by fully engulfing the microbe or sending antibodies to stick to the microbe therefore making it harmless. The white blood cell then remembers this pathogen so that it is prepared if it comes again.

How does adhesion affect living organisms?

Adhesion is important for living organisms because it allows cells to stick together and form tissues and organs. In plants, adhesion helps water move up through the xylem vessels. In animals, adhesion is needed for cells to stick to blood vessel walls and for platelets to form blood clots.
