What would happen to red blood cells in the body if blood lost through injury were replaced with pure water?
Water 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.

Why does bleeding occur?
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.
How does bruising work and what causes it to occur on the skin?
Bruising occurs when small blood vessels under the skin break and leak blood, leading to discoloration. This can happen due to injury, trauma, or certain medical conditions that make blood vessels fragile. The leaked blood pools under the skin, causing the characteristic blue or purple color of a bruise.
How do bruises work and what causes them to form on the skin?
Bruises form when small blood vessels under the skin break and leak blood, which then pools and creates a visible mark. This can happen due to injury, impact, or trauma to the skin. The body's natural healing process helps to reabsorb the blood and eventually the bruise fades away.
What are schistocytes?
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.
What is damage to the brain called in a medical context?
A stroke. A stroke is the rapidly developing loss of brain functions due to a disturbance in the blood vessels supplying blood to the brain. This can happen because of ischemia (lack of blood supply), or hemorrhage.In the past, stroke was referred to as cerebrovascular accident or CVA, but the term "stroke" is now preferred.

What is copious blood loss?

Is Diapedesis the process by which red blood cells move out of the capillaries into the tissue?
Yes, but this is not a normal process it happen in response to injury.
What is bleeding injury?

What would happen to your blood after biting from tiger leech?
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.
What is exchanged in the circulation in the body?
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.
What would happen if you lost a few red blood cells?
One loses 'a few red blood cells' every minute. They wear out, or bleed out, etc., and are replaced.
How red blood cells get 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.
Why does your pulse Rate happen?
Each pulse is the heartbeat pushing blood through your veins
Why does blood turn dark red as its circulates through the body?
The oxygen in it is replaced with carbon dioxide.
How can injury cause disease in animals?
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
