What else can I help you with?
Circulate in body and attach to foreign substances?
Antibodies circulate in the body through the bloodstream and attach to foreign substances, such as pathogens or antigens. This binding marks the foreign substance for destruction by other components of the immune system, helping to neutralize the threat and protect the body from infection or illness.
Are blood cells produced by mitosis or meiosis?
No. Meiosis is when a cell produces a haploid, which is a cell with only half the number of chromosomes. Meiosis is only used for making cells used for reproduction. Red blood cells are created by mitosis, which is when cells make two copies of themselves and split into two identical cells.
Are red blood cells and white blood cells derived from the same original stem cell?
Blood stem cells like other stem cells can self-renew or copy themselves. They also produce different types of specialized cells found in the blood. Embryonic cells have the potential to make any cell type of the body. Researchers have made both red blood cells and white blood cells in the lab.
Where are red blood cells recycled?
Blood cells are born in the bone marrow and are delivered into the bloodstream to begin work. Blood cells only live a limited time in the blood. Old blood cells are destroyed by a type of cell called a macrophage. Macrophages are the trash collectors of the body and are, in fact, blood cells themselves.
What transports oxygen to cells in body?
ways of transporting oxygen (presumably in the human body you are referring to) it is carried in the blood as part of the circulatory system-it is picked up from the lungs through alveoli -majorly carried in the blood as oxyhaemoglobin (oxygen combined with haemoglobin in red blood cells) -some can be dissolved in the blood plasma
How does oxygen get in blood?
There are little sacs called Alveoli in the lungs. In these sacs are where gasses are exchanged. Oxygen molecules attach themselves, from the air we breathed in, to the red blood cells, while carbon dioxide molecules unattach themselves from red blood cells and are carried away in the air we exhale.
What is the difference between insulin and glucagon?
Insulin signals blood cells like liver and muscle cells. These are used to accelerate the conversion of glucose to glycogen that's stored in the liver. Glucagon attach themselves to liver cells telling them to convert glycogen to glucose and to release glucose into the blood.
What structure make blood cells and provide muscles to attach?
the correct answer is bone.
What is the functionality of antibodies produced by B cells?
These antibodies attach themselves to the bacteria, and flag them for destruction by other immune cells.
Wraps around harmful bacteria and produce antibodies to combat diseases?
White blood cells are the backbone of the bodies immunity. White blood cells attach to bad cells or bacteria to help fight of disease.
What is radioisotopes potassium-40 and its uses?
is used in photoelectric cells.
How does the white blood cells ability to change to affect its function?
white blood cells can squeeze themselves in between other cells, to reach other, infected cells
Are red blood cells found in the structure of a synovial joint?
No. Not by themselves. They will be inside the tiny blood vessels.
Are blood cells capable of renewing themselves?
Red blood cells (RBCs) have a life span of 120 days. More are always being made.
What part of the blood does oxygen attach to?
Oxygen attaches to hemoglobin molecules in red blood cells in the blood. Hemoglobin is a protein that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and organs.
Does the heart pump white blood cells?
White blood cells are the body's infection-fighting cells. Therefore, they fight against any infection that may affect the heart such as bacterial endocarditis. They attach to the disease and kill them off by either "eating them" (phagocytosis) or by other means.
Why is the bone marrow is important?
because it produces red blood cells since red blood cells cant reproduce themselves because they lack a nucleus
