Blood

Blood is a bodily fluid consisting of plasma, blood cells, and platelets that is circulated by the heart through the vertebrate vascular system, carrying oxygen and nutrients to and waste materials away from all body tissues. In many species, it also carries hormones and disease-fighting substances. In this category, you will find questions about the blood in your body, including blood types, blood diseases, and the function of blood.

At what temperature does blood start to boil?

At a standard atmospheric pressure (1 ATM), blood boils at approximately the same temperature as water: around 100 degrees Celsius, or 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Blood is approximately .9% salt, which at that concentration would raise the boiling point by less than 1 degree Celsius.

But what if you are not at 1 ATM? The Combined Gas Law states that:

(P1*V1)/T1 = (P2*V2)/T2

where temperature is measured in Kelvin (Kelvin = Celsius + 273.15).

For example, 1L of blood at 1 ATM boils at 373.15 Kelvin. If you doubled the atmospheric pressure, the blood would boil at 746.3 Kelvin, or 473.15 Celsius.

(1ATM*1L)/373.15K = (2ATM*1L)/T2

T2= 746.3K
Blood boils at approximately the same temperature as water, around 100 degrees centigrade. Human blood is essentially a water solution, made up primarily .

Functions of white blood cells?

White Blood Cells protect against infections in various ways. Some leukocytes phagocytize bacterial cells in the body, and other produce protein (antibodies) that destroy or disable foreign particles.

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.

Do doctors have to remove blood because of to much volume in the human body?

That idea was held until a few hundred years ago. When a patient was sick with

certain kinds of ailments, doctors would "bleed" the patient, presumably to drain

some of whatever was in him that was making him sick.

Near the end of George Washington's life, he was weak and sinking, and doctors

'bled' him. When it didn't seem to help much, they bled him again, and I believe

they eventually bled him a third and maybe even a fourth time, until the effect

was clear ... he died.

There are procedures in modern medicine where some blood is removed.

Nowadays, it can be blood taken out of a healthy person, and used to replace

blood lost by someone else, either during surgery, or as the result of a violent

injury. Or a person may 'bank' his own blood for use during his own surgery.

But it's never taken out on account of 'too much blood', or to let something

out of a patient that's making him sick.

What causes red blood cells to shrink?

A red blood cell will shrink if placed in a solution with a higher solute concentration than the cell. This is because the water inside the cell will move out in an attempt to equalise the concentrations inside and outside the cell.

The group of organs that take in oxygen from the air is called the?

The group of organs that take in oxygen from the air is called your respiratory system.

Why is haemoglobin converted to cyanmet haemoglobin for the spectrophotometric assay?

When haemoglobin undergoes oxygenation, it changes colour, and this is what gives arterial blood its bright red colour. Since the absorption spectra of oxyhaemoglobin and deoxyhaemoglobin differ, the same concentration of a sample of haemoglobin can give different absorption readings depending on the degree of oxygenation. It is therefore necessary to convery haemoglobin into the stable non-oxygen binding form cyanmethaemoglobin before an accurate measurement can be made by spectrophotometric assay pooooo

What is the mechanism by which acetaminophen causes hemolysis in G6PD patients?

Acetaminophen can cause oxidative stress and lead to red blood cell hemolysis in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency by generating reactive oxygen species. G6PD deficiency impairs the ability of red blood cells to protect against oxidative damage, making them more vulnerable to the hemolytic effects of acetaminophen.

What would cause the head of the penis to regularily retract into the body to the base of the penis virtually disappearing?

The flaccid penis (aka the normal state when you are not aroused) is quite small, and normally "retracts" into the fleshy folds of tissue that compose the shaft. It's not really retracting or becoming smaller, because that's the way it normally looks. It is the erect penis that lengthens and enlarges - your penis is supposed to be small and harder to damage when you are out in the world fighting off saber-tooth tigers and hunting mastadons - yeah, but that's what humans were doing when our penises evolved, so they still look the same way they did then.

Where are nutrients transported after being absorbed into the blood stream?

Nutrients absorbed into the bloodstream are transported to various tissues and organs in the body where they are utilized for various functions such as energy production, growth, and repair. Nutrients can also be stored in tissues like the liver or adipose tissue for later use.

Main function of excretory system?

Waste is filtered from the blood and collected in the kidneys as urine. Then, the urine leaves the kidneys through the ureters and then gets collected in the urinary bladder. The urine eventually leaves the bladder through the Urethra and exits your body.

What might happen to human blood cells if placed in a beaker of salt water?

It depends on the concentration of salt within the solution. If the saline solution was less than 0.9%, then water would flow into the cells and they would swell and possible rupture. If the saline concentration was greater than 0.9%, then water would flow out of the cells and shrink which is called crenation. It the saline solution was 0.9% exactly, that is isotonic to the interior of a RBC and nothing would happen.

How many Cells are there in a human body?

There are approximately 37.2 trillion cells in the human body. Each cell has a specific function and collectively they make up different tissues and organs that perform various functions to keep the body functioning properly.

How many oxygen molecules bind to myoglobin?

1 Each myoglobin molecule has one heme group and can bind one oxygen molecule. Hemoglobin on the other hand can bind up to 4 molecules of oxygen.

Which geographic region is the highest concentration of inhabitants in Africa found?

The highest concentration of inhabitants in Africa is typically found in the regions of West Africa and East Africa, particularly in countries such as Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Egypt. These regions have high population densities due to factors such as fertile land, resources, and historical urban centers.

The life span of a red blood cell is?

A sickled red blood cell will live for 10 to 20 days before it is destroyed.

A normal red blood cell would have lived for about 120 days.

This is the cause of the anaemia in sickle cell anaemia patients, who typically live for about 45 years.

What is natural plasma?

Plasma is an electrically conducting medium in which there are roughly equal numbers of positively and negatively charged particles, produced when the atoms in a gas become ionized .

Plasma is sometimes called the fourth state of matter (the first three being solid, liquid, and gas). A plasma is unique in the way it interacts with itself, with electric and magnetic fields, and with its environment. It can be thought of as a collection of ions, electrons, neutral atoms and molecules, and photons in which some atoms are being ionized at the same time as electrons are recombining with other ions to form neutral particles, while photons are continuously being produced and absorbed. It is estimated that more than 99% of the matter in the universe exists in the plasma state.

An anorexic girl shows high levels of acetone in her blood what is this condition called and what has caused it?

tetosis/ketoacidosis

here is an answer for your question;

Fat products are necessary for ATP formation. They first break down to acetic acid. When there isn't enough glucose, larger amount of fat break down. The fat oxidation is fast but not complete, resulting in intermediate products such as acetoacetic acid and acetone in blood. This condition calls acidosis or ketoacidosis

What color are most cells?

according to man named royal rife who developed a monocromatic microscope called universal microscope in 1930s he identified cancer cell as purple red in colour cancer cell could be killed by applaying 175 milliamps through it,or by applaying frequency in the AM broadcasting range 11,780,000 hertz you can find his lab notes on net, very easy to prove it, means the end of all disease

How do buffers work?

Buffers work by resisting changes in pH when an acid or base is added to a solution. They consist of a weak acid and its conjugate base, which can react with the added acid or base to neutralize it. This allows a buffer solution to maintain its pH within a certain range.

How many Cells are there in the human body?

The number of cells can be estimated by the average mass of a cell compared to the average mass of the body, and works out to between 5 trillion and 100 trillion, depending on the person's age and body size. Larger individuals may not have more cells, just larger ones, or more fluid between them.

So for adults the average is about 50 trillion cells (5 x 1013).

As an example, every square centimeter of skin contains about 100,000 skin cells.

---

Estimates vary, but are generally in the range 1013 to 1014, a 1 followed by either 13 or 14 zeros. The US number is 10 to 100 trillion (short scale).

Our bodies also have as many as 10 to 20 times as many bacteria as we have cells.

What would cause extreme fatigue?

Usually not sleeping for a long period of time, or having insomnia and then the insomnia goes away. Lack of food/bad diet, dehydration, thyriod disorder, anaemia, diabetes, pregnancy, stress, hormonal changes (puberty), excessive heat, excessive exposure to cold, too much exercise and many more.

What is the normal color of a woman's scalp?

Depends what colour the woman is. Everyone is different, so would be the skin colour of everyones scalp. It would always be lighter then the rest of your body, if you've got hair. If your black, it would be black, if your white it would be white etc etc.

How many layers in a blood cell?

there are two layers inner and outer layer of a blood cell.......

How does insulin regulate blood sugar in your body?

Insulin is released by the pancreas, and serves two important functions in blood-glucose control. Firstly, it encourages muscle and liver cells to take glucose from the blood. This is all very well, but glucose is soluble in the cytoplasm, and this poses a problem for osmoregulation, in the cells, so insulin also stimulates the conversion of glucose into glycogen - an insoluble sugar, which can then be stored until it is needed for respiration by cells.
