Blood is produced in the marrow of your bones. It needs energy and water and nutrients to accomplish this. Energy comes from the food and nutrients you eat. Water is a must for the human body.

Where does blood go first when it leaves the heart of the fish?

Blood first leaves the heart of a fish and enters the gills for oxygenation. From the gills, oxygenated blood is transported to the rest of the fish's body through arteries.


Why does Aorta have smaller diameter than Vena Cava?

The capillaries are so much smaller than the vena cavas and aorta because these large blood transportation systems are under a lot of pressure. For example, when blood is first emerging from the heart it is being pumped out with extreme amounts of pressure, if the aorta was as small as the capillaries, then it would burst under the pressure causing mass amounts of internal bleeding. On the flipside, the capillaries are farther away from the heart, here the pressure is not nearly as great as it is nearer to the heart, therefore the capillaries do not need to be big, they just need to be large enough to transport nutrients from the blood to the organs.


Why does a transfusion reaction not occur the first time a rh positive patient is exposed to rh negative blood?

the transfusion reaction doesn't occur the first time an Rh+ patient is exposed to Rh- blood because the Rh+ patients body hasn't created the antibodies needed to attack the Rh- blood that it comes in contact with. the second time the Rh+ patients body comes in contact with Rh- blood, it will have the antibodies necessary to fight against Rh- blood.

How is the blood different in the arteries going out to body cells compared to the blood coming back to the heart from the body cells?

I'm no anonomy expert, but the blood carried from the heart to the body is oxygen rich while the blood coming from the body has had it's oxygen absorbed so it goes through the heart to the lungs, where it gets oxygen, back to the heart and out to the body again.
