yes they increase at the same time as the number of red blood cells increase (which contain hemoglobin) the quantity of the blood increase.

Not neccesaryly, theres a disease whose name i have forgoten in which due to a deficiency in either iron intake or absorption or both, the body is unable to form heamoglobin. why do u guys spell it hemoglobin its HEAMOGLOBIN. jeez

What is hemoglobin AIC?

Hemoglobin A1C is a blood test that is used to track the blood sugar of a diabetic over the past 3 months. The life of a red blood cell is approximately 3 months, and this test gives an average of blood sugar levels over that time.


Does blood dry brown?

Yes, blood can appear brown once dried due to the oxidation of hemoglobin. The iron in hemoglobin reacts with the oxygen in the air, turning the blood from red to brown over time.


Glucose is carried in which part of the blood?

Describe how oxygen is transported in the blood?

Oxygen is transported in blood by binding to the Hemoglobins. Then Hemoglobin will carry O2 through out our body. When blood reach to the organ, or cells, DIFFUSION process will be activated, O2 from High concentration (blood stream) diffuses to the Low concentration (cells).


Why does blood turn brown?

Blood turns brown when it is exposed to air for a period of time because the iron in the hemoglobin molecules oxidizes, causing the blood to change color.


How does carbon monoxide increase blood pressure?

Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin in the blood more readily than oxygen, leading to decreased oxygen delivery to tissues. This triggers the release of stress hormones that increase heart rate and constrict blood vessels, ultimately raising blood pressure. Over time, this can result in hypertension and put individuals at risk for heart disease and stroke.


Does hemoglobin go high due to carbon monoxide exposure?

Hemoglobin is a molecule in our red blood cells of the body (RBCs) used to transport oxygen (O2) through the blood. When the body needs more O2 supply to its tissues, such as when there is too much carbon dioxide (CO2), our bodies produce more RBCs and thus more hemoglobid for that extra O2 needed. In cases of carbon monoxide (CO) exposure which is toxic to humans, the same type of thing happens. You can notice exposure to CO by looking at the skin color on a person. Because hemoglobin gives RBCs their color, a person who has been exposed to CO for a period of time will look red in certain areas on their skin due to the increase in RBC/hemoglobin in the blood.


What is the purpose of fetal hemoglobin test?

Fetal hemoglobin (Hemoglobin F), Alkali-resistant hemoglobin, HBF (or Hb F), is the major hemoglobin component in the bloodstream of the fetus. After birth, it decreases rapidly until only traces are found in normal.


Do the toes of people with diabetes turn purple?

People with DM type 2 have narrowing of the arteries mainly the small arteriole. The slowed flow is deprived of oxygen, and by the time they get through the capillaries to the vein, the oxygen in the hemoglobin was extracted so much that the blood turn cyanotic due to increase amount of 'reduced' hemoglobin which is what is perceived as 'purple".


Can you increase hemoglobin with exercise?

It may not necessarily increase hemoglobin levels, but it may help treat anemia to eat fruits and vegetables and healthy foods that are high in iron. Foods that are high in iron include: * Liver * Lean beef * Oat and wheat bran * Special K cereal * Licorice * Boiled lentils * Apricots * Hazelnuts * Almonds * Red kidney beans
