Is leukemia an increase or decrease of white blood cells?
Leukemia is an increase in the number of abnormal white blood cells in the bloodstream. These abnormal cells do not function properly and can crowd out normal white blood cells, leading to a weakened immune system.
What happens to red blood cells at high elevations?
Polycythemia or an increase in red blood cells
What does marrow contribute to the circulatory system?
the blood cells
What is the greatest source of blood viscosity?
The greatest source of blood viscosity is the concentration of red blood cells, known as hematocrit. Higher levels of red blood cells increase the thickness of blood, making it more viscous. Additionally, plasma proteins, such as fibrinogen and globulins, also contribute to blood viscosity, but to a lesser extent than red blood cells. Overall, the balance between these components determines the fluidity of the blood.
Do Basophils red blood cells increase in response to allergic reactions?
Basophils are a type of white blood cell, not red blood cells, and they play a key role in the body's allergic responses. During allergic reactions, basophils can increase in number and release histamine and other mediators that contribute to inflammation and allergic symptoms. However, while basophils may increase, red blood cells do not typically respond directly to allergic reactions. Instead, changes in red blood cell counts are generally related to other health conditions or physiological responses.
What hormone increase causes an increase in red blood cell?
the hormone that produces red blood cells is erythropoeitin.
Which fruits and vegetables are produce blood in human body?

What element is a component of your red blood cells which increase oxygen carrying capacity of blood?
Iron.
Tissue mast cells and plasma basophils release to dilate blood vessels to increase blood flow and to increase capillary permeability?
histamine
When you are sick why does the number of blood cells in your body increase?
