Dont no im trying to find out my self!!
sorry!!
Does smoking cigarettes and pot effect white blood cell count?
Yes smoking effects your white cells and especially your breathing lungs.
What is normal platelet count per mL of blood?
normal range is 150,000 to 450,000 per mm3 or per microliter of blood
Is hemoglobin s the same thing as hemoglobin solubility?
Hemoglobin S refers to the hemoglobin that forms in patients with sickle cell anemia. Hemoglobin solubility is a test that can be performed in order to determine if the patient has sickle cell anemia.
The specific gravity of cattle blood and of human blood is actually similar. These rates of gravity are almost identical.
What foods supply oxygen for blood?
Oxygen really is present in pretty much any and every food. You really don't derive your oxygen from food though, at least I would hope so. You breathe oxygen gas, and that's all the oxygen you need. Bottled water companies might like to sell you special "oxygenated" water, but there's no evidence that that such products have any added benefit over "Classic Formula" Water- good old H20.
What happens if your blood glucose level increases?
When blood glucose levels increase, insulin secretion also increases.

What alert the body that a virus has enter a blood stream?
There are certain cells in the blood whose surfaces have holes all over that exactly fit every kind of bacteria and virus that you are immune to. The germs fall into those holes, are captured, and cannot cause infection.
Now, along comes a bunch of a certain virus that you are not immune to - they do not fit any holes in those certain cells. The certain cells try to grab the new viruses, but can't, so they release a tiny bit of chemical that travels in the bloodstream to the brain, causing the brain to release a tiny bit of chemical into the bloodstream that starts up the disease-fighting mechanisms of your body.
Could deoxygenated blood eventually kill you?
Yes, because cells need oxygen to live. Your cells will die without oxygen and obviously so will you.
Does an increase in carbon dioxide levels cause an increase in depth of breathing?
The answer is 'yes'. Increase in carbon bi oxide level directly stimulates the respiratory center and it is the most powerful stimulation for respiration. So, it increases the depth and rate of respiration and rate of respiration, in order to get rid of carbon bi oxide.
