WHAT HAPPENS AT THE RIFT VALLEY?
the water is getting to high elevations
What happens to red blood cells when exposed to high altitude?
The number of RBC will increase
What happens if you NaCL to Red Blood Cells?
If you expose red blood cells to a high concentration of NaCl (salt), water will move out of the cells through osmosis, causing them to shrink and potentially undergo hemolysis (bursting). This process is known as crenation.
Can rheumatoid arthritis cause high white blood count?
Yes, RA can cause elevations on the white blood cells. So can virues, stress, and other things. I have RA and every time i get a CBC (complete blood count) I have elevated white blood cells. I am always told its not high enough to be concerned and that it is probably from my RA since I suffer alot from inflammation. Ask your doctor if you are overly concerned.
People who spend time at high elevations develop more red blood cells which helps them obtain oxygen from the thin air this phenomenon is an example of what?
This phenomenon is an example of acclimatization, where the body adjusts to a new environment to maintain its normal functioning. In this case, increased red blood cell production is a physiological adaptation to compensate for lower oxygen levels at high elevations.
What does mid mean in blood test?
MID is Minimum Inhibitory Dilution in blood tests. They measure rare cells and precursor white cells. A high MID in blood tests means a high level of the rare cells.
Describe the effect of living at high elevations on a person's hematocrit?
Increased hematocrit is the effect of living at high elevation. The human body compensates by increasing the volume of RBC in order to absorb as much oxygen on areas of high atmospheric pressure.
What demerits about red blood cells?
demerit of high red blood cell
If your bone marrow is producing an elevated number of red blood cells what happens to your hematocrit?
The percentage goes up. (Hematocrit is the percentage of red blood cells in a sample of whole blood, so if an elevated number of red blood cells is produced by your bone marrow, your hematocrit level should rise).
What does it mean for a dog to have a high PCT test?
High red blood cells
What happens if red blood cells were placed into breaker with plasma?
If red blood cells were placed into a beaker with plasma, the red blood cells would absorb the liquid and start to expand due to the osmotic pressure. Eventually, the red blood cells may burst (hemolysis) if the osmotic pressure is too high compared to their structural integrity. This would release hemoglobin into the plasma.
Does emphysema affect red bloods cells and make them have a high mcv blood result reading?
In advanced stages of Emphysema your red blood cells can be affected and it can cause them to have a high MCV blood result reading. Infections can also cause the red blood cells to rise as well.
