How can you tell the difference between regular blood and menstrual blood on clothing?

Where does a red blood cell go after the systemic arteries?
The systemic arteriole, then the capillaries, the venule, the vein, the vena cava, the heart, the pulmonary artery, the pulmonary arterioles, capillaries, the pulmonary veins, the heart, into the aorta, and back into the artery.
In humans what results when a valve is leaking blood backwards in the heart?
not very much as it turns out. Many people have murmurs as these are commonly called. This is where the valve regurgitates blood through the leaking valve back into the chamber or vessel it came from. A third of the population have one or multiple murmurs. It only gets dangerous when the leaking becomes severe, this can be calculated only by an echocardiogram. If it becomes severe, Dr.s may intervene and either bolster the valve with a ring or replace the valve altogether with bovine, porcine or mechanical valves.
What will happen if platelets will be not there in the body be?
Whenever a blood vessel is injured, platelets accumulate at the site of injury and help in formation of a blood clot. The clot seals the wound in the blood vessel and prevents blood loss. But if all the blood platelets are removed from blood, blood will not clot and there will be a lot of blood loss.It may even lead to the death of the person
What is the mineral that keeps your blood healthy?
you have something called a blood sell it uses its mineral to keep the blood flowing
What does low wbc count of 3.1 and low platelet count of 120 mean?
low wbc count depicts immunosuppressed patient,with a compromised deffence mechanism,low platelet count means thrombocytopaenia where the patient has a bleeding disorder resulting to excessive blood loss incase of an injury
Mother is O plus father is AB- what will child be?
Depending on what kind of A the mother is, the baby can be either O or A. If the mother is homozygous A (AA), the child would be A for sure. If the mother is heterozygous A (AO), the child can be either O or A. This is because the A allele is dominant over the O allele, and each person has two alleles for the ABO blood type. The father's O alleles (OO) are recessive so it all depends on the mother.
You need to be more descriptive with your question. There are lots of things that could be called "clot tubes". Small blood vessels are called capillaries. The blood cells that play a primary role in clotting are called platelets.
Does the right atrium carry oxygenated blood or deoxygenated blood?
Only the left atrium gets oxygen rich blood. Oxygen rich blood from the lungs goes to the left side of the heart, which pumps this blood out to the rest of the body.
The right atrium receives oxygen poor blood from the body, which then flows into the right ventricle, which pumps the oxygen poor blood towards the lungs to receive fresh oxygen.
What happens to blood as it it travels through the kidneys?
It goes through the renal cortex in the body release loads of salt to chunk up in your waste
How do platelets protect the body?
Platelets help defend the body from bacterial pathogens. By keeping infection out, they are able to help us stay healthy.
Excessive amounts of homocysteine in the blood are thought to increase the risk for?
all kinds of stuff but mostly heart disease i believe
How much younger on average do alcoholics die?
It varies with individuals. If a person is a moderate drinker (just a few each day ... cocktails every night, drinking with associates over deals being made, or several other drinks in the evening to relax they can still be classified as an alcoholic) then it may take years. If the person has been a heavy drinker for years the liver will be the first to go and that is usually the beginning of the end. It can take years, but it will catch up to the person. I have a friend I've known for 22 years (heavy drinker) and he's just been diagnosed with liver failure (not much they can do because his immune system is so low) and it's a matter of time before he passes away. It's very sad. A person that admits they are an alcoholic has made a giant leap in beating it. It's a must to go to AA and get support from the group and the person's mate can go to Alanon to learn how alcoholism occurs and how cope with their partner. There has been scientific studies that working with your doctor and taking larger doses of Vitamin B can help with the side effects of coming off alcohol. Going to the gym and working out also helps (after a complete physical from your doctor) and drinking lots of water. Exercise makes you perspire and helps with the toxins in your body and the water flushes it out. Good diet is another important thing. This may seem over-whelming to an alcoholic, but once they have admitted they are an alcoholic, join AA, work out, eat well and exercise it doesn't take long before they start feeling better. My friend has not touched a drop of alcohol thus eats better and has admitted he feels the best he's felt in years, but it's too late to make much difference.
Can you use serum to perform a western blot?
You can do a western blot using plasma as samples, but you have to keep in mind that there are many factors that need to be considered. My area of research is looking for brain proteins in the blood of stroke patients. So far, I have had many difficulties working with plasma.
The major problems seemed to be non-specific binding and protein overload.
Non-specific binding: Both my primary and secondary antibodies seem to bind non-specifically to proteins other than the protein of interest. My primary antibody seemed to pick up proteins abundant in the plasma such as albumin.
My secondary antibody seemed to pick up human immunoglobulin molecules. So, if you are not isolating out your protein of interest from the plasma to run a western blot, it may be a good idea to first run different dilutions of the primary and the secondary antibody to determine the optimal concentrations to be used.
Also, the other problem that I was facing was protein overload, or what I interpreted as a protein overload. When I ran westerns using 2 microlitres of human plasma, the dye front was smeary and there seemed to be precipitates left in the well of the gel. So, if required, maybe run a protein concentration assay to determine the optimal plasma volume to load as well?
I hope that helps.
Which blood type has 2 different antigens on the surface of the red blood cell?
Blood type AB has both A and B antigens.
What if you found a little blood in your underwear?
well if there is just a small amount of blood and it isn't a lot that means you havent necessarily started your period, before i started my period i had this same situation as you. I didn't think anything about it at all, but you will soon know if and when you have started, good luck :) x
What percent of white blood count are lymphocytes?
Lymphocytes are one of the five types of white blood cells (WBCs), the other four being monocytes, eosinophils, neutrophils, and basophils. Lymphocytes normally account for 25-33% of total WBCs.
Father has b positive and mother has a negative what will baby have?
The only way to tell is to have a blood test done, it is possible to guess but the only way to be exactly sure is with a blood test. It all depends on Antigens and Antibodies on the blood cells themselves.
