How do veins bring oxygen to every cell?
Veins don't bring oxygen, they carry blood back to the heart and lungs. Arteries carry oxygenated blood to the body. So the oxygen is carried through the blood, right? So then what I learned in my bio class is that the oxygen then seeps out of the blood vessels and goes into the cells outside it. What makes this possible is that the cell membrane (the outside of animal cells) has the job of letting some molecules in and some molecules out. If this is totally different from what anybody else learned, then feel free to improve my answer.
Is your body always making new blood?
Yes, there is not an infinite supply of blood in your body. It's just the same blood being recycled by your heart. When your blood goes around your body, it's deprived of oxygen, so your heart kind of "freshens" the blood cells when they return to the heart. That's why people sometimes die from loss of blood.
What is found within the red blood cells in the blood vessels?
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, a protein that binds to oxygen in the lungs and carries it to tissues throughout the body. This allows oxygen to be exchanged for carbon dioxide in the tissues, which is then carried back to the lungs for exhalation.
What are five variables in the human body that requires homeostasis?
Five variables in the human body that require homeostasis are body temperature, blood pressure, blood glucose levels, pH balance, and oxygen levels. These variables must be regulated within a narrow range to ensure optimal functioning of the body's cells and organs.
What do cells in the human body have?
They're cells, they make you up, but they aren't human ---- Definitely not. Many billions of foreign bacteria live their entire lives inside your entire body, most notably in the digestive systems, helping process food into energy and regulating digestive functions. Billions more live on and around your skin. B.O!
What is the work or each blood component?
Plasma-yellow liquid that everythig else travels in White Blood Cells-fight infection Red Blood Cells-carry oxygen around the body in dimples on their surface, have no nuceleus, are made in bone marrow Platelets-clot the blood, are made up of dead cells.
The blood delivers food that has been broken down into simple substances to the cells of the body what else does the blood deliver to the cells?
it delivers oxygen :)
What else is carried by the blood as well as gases?
The blood is mainly made of Platelets, Red Blood Cells, and White Blood Cells. The red blood cells carry oxygen and carbon dioxide. Nutrients are carried through the blood, and waste is taken away via the blood. Hormones also pass through the blood.
Why are red blood cells built to carry oxygen?
Something has to do this job, so if it wasn't red blood cells then it'd need to be something else. Unless, of course, mammals had evolved in some other way which did not have a circulatory system.
What carries blood to all parts of the body except the lungs?
Is this a trick question? Arteries carry oxygenated blood to the rest of the body but deoxygenated blood to the lungs. It is the veins that return blood to the heart, from body and lungs. The only difference is that the veins carry oxygenated blood this time whereas in the systemic circulation, the blood is deoxygenated.

Does the heart pump white blood cells?
White blood cells are the body's infection-fighting cells. Therefore, they fight against any infection that may affect the heart such as bacterial endocarditis. They attach to the disease and kill them off by either "eating them" (phagocytosis) or by other means.

Why is white blood cells different from red blood cells?
They're not really alive, all they are is a bag of hemoglobin.The RBC's have no nucleolus and are not metabolically active.The don't have a nucleus.There are actually many animals such as vertebrates that have red blood cells. Some simpler animals have an open circulatory system.

Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, a protein that binds to oxygen in the lungs and carries it to tissues throughout the body. This allows oxygen to be exchanged for carbon dioxide in the tissues, which is then carried back to the lungs for exhalation.
Do red blood cells have more hemoglobin than white blood cells?
Yes! All red blood cells are only hemoglobin encased in a membrane. White blood cells do not carry much hemoglobin, becasue they have every other organelle like the ER, nucleus, and golgi apparatus to name a few. Red blood cells don't even have a nucleus! Their sole purpose is to give hemoglobin to the blood. When red blood cells are being made in the marrow, they have organelles but once they are mature, everything is taken out and they become hemoglobin carriers, with nothing else. So finally, red blood cells have much more hemoglobin than white blood cells.
What else is a red blood cell called?
red blood cells are also called as erythrocytes.
