What is the spleen and what does it do?
It is a small organ on the left hand side of your abdomen ("patient's left", so to anyone looking at you it would be the right hand side), just under the lower edge of your ribs. The spleen is responsible for removing old platelets from your blood, creating cells that aid tissue healing, mopping up some bacterias that you're already immune to, and also helps create and store red blood cells. To clarify, it is not the same as your gallbladder (this seems to be a common misconception).Your spleen is the part of your body that stores extra blood.
Can you trace blood from the heart to the right hand through all of the arteries?
yes sir.
Have you ever had your foot or hand go to sleep because of the position of your body Using your knowledge of cellular respiration propose a hypothesis of why the foot or hand has gone to sleep?
Impeded blood flow (probably venous).
Is the right hand ipsilateral to the right foot?
no, right hand is ipsilateral to the right foot.
Symptoms of a ruptured spleen?
If your spleen ruptures beyond repair then you must have it removed in a procedure called a splenectomy. As a consequence of a non functioning spleen you will be at an increased likelihood of blood bacterial infections. The body should make up for the platelet producing role of the spleen by increasing production of platelets in the bone marrow. There maybe other smaller side-effects of having a splenectomy, but you can live without one. I have been living without a spleen now for 5 years, I am currently 35 years old. I lost my spleen in a motor cycle accident. The doctor told me that the only thing that I had to worry about was an increased risk for pnemonia. If I was having trouble fighting off a cold then I should go get it checked out. The only side effect that I seem to have is that my nose tends to run more frequently than I remember. I have done nothing different with my diet or excersise since having my spleen removed. I don't even get flu shots because I never went to get them before. In the past five years I have only gotten one cold that concerned me enough to cause me to go to the doctor, just for safety sake they gave me some antibiotics to ensure that I did not get pnemonia.
Can blood clots in your hand prevent blood from going into your hand?
It is possible for blood clots to obstruct blood flow. It's not likely that all of the blood flow to your hand could be blocked, though.
Why does right hand go very cold and left does not?
It is most likely that your symptom is caused by a significantly decreased blood flow to your right hand - you should seek professional medical attention immediately.
How does Blood flow from left foot to right hand?
The oxygen rich blood is usually pumped out of the heart from the left side. It is then pumped to the various parts of the body.
Why is your hand purple when its down and white when its above your head?
The difference of color is because of blood. When you lower your hand, more blood will flow into it from gravity. When your hand is above your head, blood flows back into your body.

Why did general stonewall ride with one hand in the air?
To balance the flow of blood.

How is the left side of the heart different from the right?
If we consider where the blood flows in/out of the heart, this question becomes relatively easy. Blood flows through the inferior and superior vena cava and into the right atrium. From here, the right atrium acts as a primer and then flows into the right ventricle via the tricuspid valve. From the right ventricle, blood is pushed out through the pulmonary valves and into the pulmonary arteries. Note that the blood that is received and hence pumped out on the right hand side of the heart is deoxygenated. From here, the blood will flow into the lungs where it sill be oxygenated. These are the major characteristics of the RIGHT hand side of the heart.Essentially, the left hand side of the heart is the same as the right. Oxygenated Blood will flow in through the pulmonary veins and into the left atrium, which will then flow via the mitral/bicuspid valve into the left ventricle. A notable difference here is that if we consider where the left hand side of the heart must pump out to (the systemic circulation, i.e. the rest of the body), it will require more force, therefore the myocardium of the left hand side of the heart is noticable thicker and stronger than the right hand side, which must only reach the lungs.) The blood will be pumped from the left ventricle into the aorta via the aortic valve.So, as noted above the major differences in the left and right hand side of the heart are in bold - however, there are also a few more noticable features, which i will sum up in dot points below:The right hand side of the heart receives blood from the rest of the body and therefore the pressure in the right hand side of the heart will be close to 0 mmHg. However, with the left hand side of the heart, the ventricle does significant work to accelarate and force the blood out, pushing the pressure to around 120 mmHg.Finally, the Sinoatrial node (where the electric impulse of the heart begins) is located on the right hand side of the heart, just where the superior vena cava articulates with the right atrium.These last two dot points are slightly more noticable differences between the sides of the heart. Hope this is comprehensive enough :)
Should you see a doctor if you have a blood clot in your wrist?
You're going to lose your hand if you don't get the clot taken care of. It will stop blood flow to your hand and it will have to be amputated.
What side is your splean on?
Your spleen is on your left hand side.
Why does your right hand go to sleep at night?
well mine doesnt. but this could be cause by laying on it or contorting it in such a way that blood flow is restricted, like when your legs fall asleep after sitting on them.
