Normal whole blood contains ____g of hemoglobin per 100 mL.
A. 4-8
B. 12-18
C. 15-20
D. 30-35
E. 42-48
The answer is A, 4-8g. I had this question on one of my tests, just thought I should share this with you in case you don't already have the answer.
**CORRECTION** It ACTUALLY CONTAINS 12-18 GRAMS of hemoglobin Per 100 ML. This is coming straight from my anatomy book.
People will receive a blood transfusion when there is a significant loss of blood, severe anemia, or as otherwise directed by a physician. On average, a transfusion of one pint of blood will raise hemoglobin levels by one gram. Hemoglobin is measured by grams per deciliter (100 milliliters) of whole blood.
A hemoglobin A1c test is typically drawn in a lavender-top tube, which contains EDTA as an anticoagulant. This tube is specifically designed for collecting whole blood for tests that require EDTA for anti-coagulation.
Usually 10 g/L
There is an interesting relationship between plasma and whole blood. Whole blood contains plasma but plasma does not contain whole blood.
Plasma. Plasma is the fluid portion of whole blood that contains various proteins, including fibrinogen, which plays a crucial role in blood clotting.
Type B whole blood contains antigens on the surface of red blood cells that correspond to the B blood type. These antigens can provoke an immune response if transfused into a person with a different blood type.
Congestive heart failure causes increased hemoglobin. When the underlying cause is anemia; the body will respond by increasing production of red blood cells (RBCs); withe a responding increase in hematocrit (the percentage of red blood cells in whole blood). Increased RBCs leads to increased hemoglobin levels.
Whole blood is made up of 3 parts - red blood cells, plasma and a Buffy coat which contains white blood cells and platelets.
A lavender tube typically contains an additive called EDTA and is used for collecting whole blood for hematological testing, such as complete blood count (CBC), blood typing, and blood cell morphology examination. It is commonly used for tests that require anticoagulated whole blood samples.
Yes, whole blood contains clotting factors such as fibrinogen, prothrombin, and platelets that help initiate the blood clotting process.
This would be whole blood and normal - blood is made of blood cells and plasma (the liquid portion).
the yellow liquid portion of whole blood containing fibrinogen is known as?
