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.

How does the pulmonary vein bring oxygenated blood to the heart?

Your body picks up oxygen in your lungs. Your right ventricle pumps blood through your pulmonary artery to your lungs. Your blood picks up oxygen in your lungs. From there, it needs to get to the rest of your body. How can it do that? Something has to send it there. Let's send it through a vein to the heart. Maybe we can get the heart to send the oxygenated blood to the rest of the body. The pulmonary vein brings oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart. Then the heart takes that blood and pumps it through arteries to the rest of the body. After the oxygen leaves the blood it returns by way of veins. Under what conditions would a vein contain oxygenated blood?

Where can you find Hemoglobin and what does it do?

Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carry oxygen, the test shows how much hemoglobin you have in your blood. Hemoglobin is found by blood being drawn by the vein usually from the inside of the elbow, the health care provider wraps an elastic band around the arm to apply pressure and make the vein swell with blood. Then the health care provider inserts a needle in the vein.

What is the name of the blood vassels which carry blood to the heart?

if the question is................what are the vessels which carry the blood to the heart?

ANSWER

the vessels which carries the deoxygenated blood from the various parts of the body are VEINS . the veins combine to form two major veins, they are , 1 - superior venacava , 2 - inferior venacava . these two are the vessels which collect and carry the deoxygenated blood into the heart . in which the first one carry the blood from the anterior parts of the body.that is blood from ears,eyes.face,...... and the second carry blood from the superior parts of the body,....that is from legs , arms,.............

Necessary for the absorption and use of iron in the formation of hemoglobin?

chemically haemoglobin is a iron complex. haem is the iron part in haemoglobin. without the iron the complex entity is not formed. and without iron rbc can't carry oxygen because there will be no lone pair electrons to give out. in other words oxyhaemoglobin doesn't forms. hence iron is an important part in haemoglobin as well as in rbc.

What is the process of red blood cell formation?

Possible causes of blood and leukocytes in urine?

Yes there can be a correlation. Here's my story to compare with yours:

I am 55 yr old female with history of one calcium oxalate kidney stone attack at age 23 resulting in major emergency surgery due to blocked left kidney. My fever was 106.5 due to infection from blockage.

I remained symptom-free for 30 years, but 2 yrs ago, at age 53, I began to have "bouts" of left flank and back pain that could travel to groin that could be relieved by 2 Advils. Nothing like the pain I suffered from the stone blocking my kidney at 23, so I never knew that this odd & uncomfortable transient pain could be kidney stone gravel or sand, or just a small stone passing thru...

I assume I developed lactose intolerance & watched out, but still had bouts which also included belching. I also realized that the pain would appear 12 hours after eating certain foods, in particular, pineapple, oranges, pea soup. I next thought of diverticulitis due to the pain traveling and it seemed like trapped gas as the pain would totally disappear suddenly but without release of any gas. My insides seemed inflamed.

Three weeks ago I had another "attack" after gorging on chocolate & nuts, )both of of which are bad for oxalate stones) It began the usual 12 hours after eating the "bad" food. I had to take 3 Advil, but I slept and the pain was gone in the am but I did have some residual left flank tenderness for days afterward.

About 3 years ago, I got hooked on daily Pepsi and chocolate - both bad for calcium oxalate kidney stones. And I wasn't drinking any water daily! I did a symptom check online and kidney stones kept coming up so everything began to make sense -especially in light of my history at age 23.

I then bought some urine test strips online & my urine was positive for leukocytes (2+), Hemolyzed blood (small) & protein (one color above "trace") And my urine PH was only 5.0 which is highly acidic. (I never saw blood in my urine, nor did I have urgency or any bladder symptoms)

I have been testing now for 2 weeks. I began to drink 3 liters of water/day, added B6 50 mg, magnesium 500 mg, an alkalinity increaser citrite, & acidopholus/bifidus. I also began to take 800 mg/day of Andrographis (natural antibiotic) which has been used sucessfully to treat blood & leukocytes in urine after passage of kidney stones.

I am self-treating at this point. It's been 2 weeks and the protein is negative, blood is negative. PH is up to 7.0. But leukocytes took much longer to change. They are now down to 1+ from 2+ and I believe this is common in resolving infections and takes more time to become negative.

So, it's likely that kidney problems can be related to positive leukocytes in urine. In my case I am hoping that it's stones again, or stone sand/gravel that is/was causing my "bouts" over the past 2 years. However, many kidney diseases can also cause this. Do some research online and try the symptom checker. You also need to try to recall whether you had any flank pain in the week or so leading up to your positive test. You could also just have a UTI that resolved itself. It took me forever to find it, but I just read that a resolving kidney/urinary issue that is resolving can cause this positive reaction with no bacteria present

Good luck to both of us!

How does the amount of platelets present in the blood affect blood clothing?

platelets are the component of blood that allows for clotting to occur as a normal response to injury. if platelet counts are low, excessive bleeding can occur. if platelet counts are high, harmful blood clots can form. such clots can obstruct blood flow, causing medical complications (stroke, for example).

Why is it impossible for a person with blood type AB to have a child with blood type O?

because type O (0 - zero) has no patterns, type A has A0 or AA pattern, type B has B0 or BB pattern and AB has AB pattern.

patterns are combined, so A + B = AB, A + A = B, B+B = B and AB + 0 = AB (no pattern means nothing :)). It is the reason why blood type 0 is so rare, A0 + 00 will create A0, that means blood type A.

Well, blood type 0 is not the most rare one... You know, when human is in uterus, the whole evolution is taking place. If something goes wrong, ppl can be born with animal blood as well, eg I have blood type C.

EDIT

ABO blood typing is simple. A and B are co-dominant genes, and O is recessive. So, A and B rule over O. Type A blood means that your alleles (only one can come from mother and one from father) are either AA (alleles as a pair are called genotype) or AO (type A because the A is dominant over the O) but to be type O, you need to O alleles, or OO genotype, each parent mathematically has to have at least 1 O allele. The parent with AB doesn't have the O gene.

Why blood circulate?

The red blood cells are transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body. They need to move constantly in order to reach the extremities, since pretty much every part of your body requires a constant flow of oxygen. Once deoxygenated, the blood cells must return to the heart to get pumped up to the lungs, continuing the CO2 & O2 exchange.

Its not just for your RBCs though. Your white blood cells also need to reach sites of infection. The circulation is in part to keep everything clean as well. Think about how running water (a river) is always cleaner and safer to drink than still-water (a lake). Because everythings being flushed out. Same with your body.

All in all, it circulates to keep things moving and working. (:

What is a blood disorder of the red blood cells in which tissues can't get enough oxygen?

There are many health issues that can decrease your SpO2%, or blood oxygen level. Anemia: Low hemoglobin and hematocrit levels in the red blood cells lead to less oxygen-carrying molecules, which reduces O2 levels Lung disorders: COPD, emphysema, and many other lung disorders can stop the adequate flow of oxygen to the rest of the body. Infection: Infections, especially of the lungs/respiratory system, can dramatically reduce your ability to ventilate enough oxygen to your bloodstream Circulation problems: Inadequate cardiac output can slow the transportation of oxygen to your body Metabolic problems: Less frequently, but more seriously, acid-base imbalances in the bloodstream can cause hemoglobin dissociation, leading to less available hemoglobin molecules being available to carry oxygen in the blood. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but the most common clinical manifestations that accompany reduced blood oxygen levels.

How do red blood cells structure relates to its fuction?

Red blood cells (RBCs) have a unique biconcave disc shape that increases their surface area-to-volume ratio, enhancing their ability to absorb and release oxygen efficiently. This flexible structure allows them to navigate through narrow capillaries, ensuring optimal oxygen delivery to tissues. Additionally, the lack of a nucleus and organelles maximizes space for hemoglobin, the protein responsible for oxygen transport. Overall, the structure of red blood cells is intricately designed to optimize their primary function of oxygen transport in the bloodstream.

Which sexual transmited infection causes blood in urine?

A severe urinary tract infection that has moved into the kidneys or any infection in the kidneys can cause blood in the urine. If you are seeing blood in your urine see a doctor as an infection in the kidneys can cause permanent kidney failure

Is globulin a formed element in the blood?

Fibrinogen is not a formed element of blood. It's a chemical component in the plasma. The formed elements of blood are red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes).

What do platelets release?

Serotonin to continue the vasospasm.

What important gas do red blood cells in the capillaries absorb and transport throughout the body?

Red blood cells absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide at lungs which was absorbed from other cells in the body during blood circulation, then it releases oxygen to those body cells in order to respire and release energy .

In which type of external bleeding will clot?

arterial bleeding is the most serious type of external bleeding.

this type of bleeding can lead to a large amount of blood loss in a short period of time because the blood flows at a faster rate and is less likely to clot.

How is blood usually cleaned?

the blood is cleaned in the liver

If you pull off a hanging mole will you really bleed to death?

A mole is simply a pigmented benign growth in the skin; so knocking the top off it is no different to scraping your knee or hand. It will heal up and should return to its previous appearance. The only time to worry is if a mole darkens in its colour, becomes irregularly shaped, itches continuously or bleeds when a crusty scab is removed and then won't heal up. Don't take risk, take help from experts and doctors in removing it completely and safely. You can visit skin care clinics like Reva Aesthetics as they use modern techniques like radiofrequency waves that produces steam and vaporizes the tissue fluid resulting in cutting and coagulation of the targeted skin lesion, without destroying the surrounding tissue.

Where does white blood cell produce in the body?

WHITE BLOOD CELLS

There are five main types of White Blood CellWhite blood cells use the blood as a means of transport from their origination in the bone marrow to their major sites of activity. The majority of the functions of the white blood cells occur when they leave the blood circulation to enter other body tissues.

There are five types of white blood cell

  • neutrophils 40 - 75 %
  • eosinophils 5 %
  • basophils 0.5 %
  • lymphocytes 20 - 50 %
  • monocytes 1 - 5 %

The figures show the relative proportions of the different types of white blood cell. The reason for the range of figures shown is that the requirement for different types of white blood cell will vary from time to time.

Neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils are collectively known as granulocytes due to prominent granules in their cytoplasm.

Lymphocytes and monocytes are classed as white blood cells because they are a constituent of blood and ultimately originate from the bone marrow. However they are mainly found in structures such as the lymph nodes and the spleen
