∙ 8y agoWater that is added would tend to equalize the amount of sodium and other substance inside the cell with what is outside the cell. Since the RBCs have more inside them, the pure water would move into the cell. This would cause the RBCs to swell and perhaps burst. The amount of water that is added to the blood would determined if the cells would burst. More pure water, the more likely the cell will burst.

∙ 8y agoIf blood lost through injury were replaced with pure water, the red blood cells would swell and eventually burst due to osmotic imbalance. The lack of electrolytes and proteins in pure water would disrupt the osmotic balance within the cells, causing them to take in too much water and ultimately lyse. This would result in decreased oxygen-carrying capacity and could be life-threatening.

Bleeding occurs when blood vessels are damaged or broken. This can happen due to injury, inflammation, or underlying medical conditions. The body's clotting mechanism usually works to stop bleeding by forming a clot at the site of the injury.
Schistocytes are fragmented red blood cells that are commonly seen in conditions such as hemolytic anemia, thrombotic microangiopathy, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. These abnormal cell fragments can be caused by mechanical injury as the blood passes through narrowed vessels or damaged endothelium.
Damage to the brain is often referred to as a brain injury, which can be classified as either a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or acquired brain injury (ABI) depending on the cause and nature of the damage. This can result from various factors such as trauma, stroke, infection, or tumors, leading to impairment of brain function.
The blood in the right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body through the superior and inferior vena cava. It then passes through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle to be pumped to the lungs for oxygenation.
If blood oxygen levels decrease, the kidneys may not receive enough oxygen to function properly. This can lead to kidney damage and impaired kidney function. In severe cases, it can result in acute kidney injury.
If you lose a lot of blood, you may need it replaced. This is called a blood transfusion. You may receive a combination of whole blood and plasma.
Yes, but this is not a normal process it happen in response to injury.

Copious means "large" or "abundant" - if you have copious blood loss, it means you have lost a lot of blood. (Usually through serious injury.)
A bleeding injury is an injury with blood coming out of it!
i do not no I would have a little less blood until my bone marrow replaced it and probably a bit of pain at the site.
In the lungs, the carbon dioxide from oxygen-poor blood ("used" blood) is released from the body through exhalation and is replaced by oxygen through inhalation, turning the oxygen-poor blood into oxygen-rich blood.
One loses 'a few red blood cells' every minute. They wear out, or bleed out, etc., and are replaced.
Red blood cells are constantly being replaced in the bone marrow through a process called erythropoiesis. This process is controlled by the hormone erythropoietin, which signals the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells when levels are low. Old or damaged red blood cells are removed by the spleen and liver.
The injury may cause tissues to be exposed through wounds, which subsequently become infected by bacteria and other organisms. For example, septic wounds and/or blood poisoning
