Why is important to have white blood cells?
White blood cells in the human body fight disease(s) by killing bacteria. They also rid the body of dead or damaged cells. They keep your immune system in check.
What does a high PC02 indicate?
It means you have a high amount of carbon dioxide in your blood! Can be caused by shallow breathing or panting like during a panic attack or due to an environment where chemicals or gases remove oxygen from the air!
What moves blood to all the organ and tissues in the body?
With each heartbeat of your heart, blood is sent to all parts of our body carrying oxygen and nutrients to every cell.
The pulmonary circulation is a short loop from the heart to the lungs and back again, and the systemic circulation (the system we usually think of as our circulatory system) sends blood from the heart to all the other parts of our bodies and back again.
The heart is the key organ in the circulatory system. As a hollow, muscular pump, its main function is to propel blood throughout the body.

What is responsible for defending blood against the pathogens?
White blood cells ingest the pathogens to prevent them from harming the human body
What does a high result of white cell count blood test indicate?
There are normally between 4×10 and 1.1×10 white blood cells in a liter of blood, and ranging from 7 and 21 microns in diameter, they make up approximately 1% of blood in a healthy adult. An increase in the number of leukocytes over the upper limits is called leukocytosis, and a decrease below the lower limit is called leukopenia.
* Cell color (blood cells): (generally refers to the staining characteristics which reflects the hemoglobin concentration. Terms that describe hemoglobin content end with "chromic".) ~ normochromic (sufficient or normal amounts of hemoglobin) ~ hyperchromic (containing an unusually high concentration of hemoglobin in its cytoplasm) ~ hypochromic (containing an abnormally low concentration of hemoglobin)
What does high level of epstein barr antibodies mean?
Depending on which test was done, a high level of Epstein barr antibodies could mean current or prior infection with Epstein barr virus. Contact your health care provider for advice specific to the test you had done.
What is the salt content of blood?
in our body 85% sodium containn ,sodium anather name is salt so our blod little bit salty.
Can animals have the blood groups of man?
I believe so. I once heard of blood transfusions from pigs. If this is true, than pigs must also have blood types.
What might a doctor be able to tell by the number of white blood cells in a sample of blood?
Typically someone with a low WBC count is more likely to be exposed to infections and will get sick really frequently. They can tell how strong your immune system is, and they can also tell if you have a couple different types of tick-borne illnesses, such as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, which drastically decreases your WBC count.
Haemoglobin made up of conjugated protein Globin 95%, haeme 5% (as prosthetic group)
its chemical formula is C3032H4816O872S8Fe4
Blood travels through the polmonary artery to what?
pulmonary circulation supplies blood to the lungs so that it can be purified by alveoli of lungs .the deoxygenated blood goes to the lungs via right atrium to ventricles than to pulmonary artery
Pulmonary circulation involves movement of the blood:A.Throughout the heartB.Throughout the bodyC.From the right side of the heart to the lungsD.From the left side of the heart to the lungs
C is right.
Increasing blood carbon dioxide levels decreases breathing rate?
Carbon dioxide levels regulate breathing via the chemoreceptors in your brain, carotid arteries, and aorta. As Carbon dioxide levels go up, the pH of the cerbrospinal fluid goes down (becomes acidic) and triggers a reaction by the chemoreceptors in your brain to cause you to breath. Specifically, those receptors are located in the floor of the fourth ventricle (in your brain stem for all intents and purposes). Expelling CO2 by breathing brings your cerebrospinal fluid's pH back down to acceptable levels. The chemoreceptors in your carotid arteries and aorta respond to the partial pressures of CO2 as well as the partial pressure of oxygen. Basically, it also tells you to breath when your CO2 levels get too high. Ultimately, it looks like when you hold your breath and "run out of air", you don't actually run out of oxygen, but you accumulate too much CO2 (after all, we can make ATP without oxygen, it just makes nasty byproducts *muscles -> lactic acid* but if our pH gets too high, we don't have a real good contingency plan for fixing it quickly)
How do you correct blood sodium level?
sodium level in the body is controlled by a hormone called aldosterone which is made by adrenal glands small amount of sodium also loss by sweating.
Where do red blood cells exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen?
There is exchange of CO2 and O2 in the lungs of aerobic vertebrates. The process is generally referred to as gas exchange. It depends on what organism you're talking about. It could be the skin, gills, lungs, or any other structure. In the lungs is the Alveoli.
What is the formula for estimating white blood cell count?
well i am not sure how to estimate but i can gv u some figures that may help u to estimate it.....in male there are about 4-5.5 million cell/ ml erythrocyte and there are about 200 000- 400 000 /ml of throbocyte....since erythrocyte ,leukocyte and thrombocyte makes 45% of the blood, u can now find the amount of white blood cells in ur body...an average person has about 5-6 l of blood ....centrifugation may help also
What are the effects of low level hemoglobin?
From the Mayo Clinic:
Hemoglobin is the iron-rich protein in red blood cells that gives blood its red color. The normal range of hemoglobin is approximately 14 to 17 grams per deciliter for men and 12 to 16 grams per deciliter for women. A low hemoglobin count indicates a low red blood cell count (anemia). Anemia can have many causes, including: * Vitamin and iron deficiencies * Acute or chronic bleeding * Hormone deficiencies, such as thyroid hormone or testosterone * Chronic diseases, such as kidney failure, cancer and Crohn's disease * Autoimmune diseases, such as lupus * Side effect of certain medications, such as chemotherapy drugs Treatment depends on the underlying cause.
What is the significance of coagulation?
Coagulation is a process where solids begin to form, in a liquid. Like when your cut begins to scab over, that is coagulation.
What system is a network of vein like vessels that return the fluid that leaks out of blood vessels?
This system is called the lymphatic system. It also is involved in the immune system. The cells in this system are mainly white blood cells (WBC).
What happens when hemoglobin is degraded?
The part of the blood that is responsible for carrying oxygen is hemoglobin. The hemoglobin binds to oxygen in the alveoli of the lungs. Then the hemoglobin releases the oxygen at the cells. The part of the hemoglobin molecule that is directly responsible for carrying the oxygen is the iron ion in the center of the molecule's structure. The iron ion changes from a Fe +2 ion to a Fe +3 when carrying the oxygen. Then the hemoglobin reaches the cell, the iron ion decomposes back to the more stable Fe +2 state, replacing the oxygen with a water molecule.
Why does intravenous fluids have a solute concentration isotonic to that of blood's plasma?
Isotonic means that the solution is equal to the tonicity (and/or osmolarity) of the part of the body you are administering it in. In simple terms, this means that the solutes of the drug/solution equals the solutes of the blood, eye, ear, etc. For example, the eye has a different tonicity and osmolarity than the blood, thus you must account for this when administering a medication.
It is important to make sure the solution is isotonic for the comfort of the patient and to prevent tissue damage. If the tonicity doesn't match, it can be very painful because the cells may be exposed to too much or too little solute, thus water will be exchanged very rapidly and could cause cell damage.
