Blood in the face and scalp is drained by what vein?
Veins salp
The supratrochlear and supraorbital veins drain the anterior region of the scalp. These 2 veins unite to form the angular vein at the medial angle region of the eye and continue further as the facial vein.
The superficial temporal vein descends in front of the auricle and enters the parotid gland. It joins the maxillary vein to form the retromandibular vein.
The anterior division of the retromandibular vein unites with the facial vein to form the common facial vein, which then drains into the internal jugular vein.
I hope someone will help further.
I believe the correct answer you are looking for is the external jugular vien

What the term for high WBC count?
White blood cells, or leukocytes in the body, help fight infections in the body. The presence of high white blood cell count in the urine indicates a bacterial infection. The test is performed to check the presence of white blood cells is called leukocyte esterase. This test is a part of urinalysis. This test is performed using reagent test strips. Apart from analyzing the WBC count in urine, it is also used to analyze pH, protein, glucose, ketones, blood, nitrite, bilirubin and urobilinogen.
At what temperature will blood freeze?
Blood, which is a mix of many components, both cellular and chemical, behaves like many other salty (saline) solutions and freezes at between -2 to -3 degrees celsius.
Normally however, each unit of whole blood is separated into several components: Red Blood Cells, which may be stored at 4 degrees C for 40 or so days, or frozen (generally at -79 degrees C) for up to 10 years.
Platelets (functional in the control of bleeding) are stored at room temperature and are generally kept for a maximum of five days.
Blood Plasma (the chemical-rich media in which the cells are transported), is usually kept in the frozen state for up to one year.
So -2 /-3 degrees, but it is not generally held at this temperature in terms of storage.
If you're talking animals in general, it may be worth my mentioning that under special experimental conditions, Antarctic fish have been observed functioning in ice-free cold salt water at a temperature of -6°C thanks to anti-freeze proteins
What does an elevated immunoglobulin A Qn Serum indicate?
The test that is ordered by Doctor to check protein levels. There are a number of other factors included in these test. Including checking for Celiac disease.
Will ibuprophen slow down heavy blood flow during a menstrual period?
Yes! I can't say it is guaranteed to work for every woman but it certainly works for me. I would say that it helps reduce my flow by 1-2. My normal periods from start to finish (which are extremely heavy by the way) would typically be 6-7 days. now they are maybe 4 days or so. I take 2 200 tabs twice a day during my period. It's been a huge help.
What can cause a low lymphocyte count in a child?
A low white blood cell count usually is caused by one of the following:
Viral Infections that disrupt bone marrow function
Congenital disorders characterized by diminished bone marrow function
Cancer or other diseases that damage bone marrow
Autoimmune disorders that destroy white blood cells or bone marrow cells
Overwhelming infections that use up white blood cells faster than they can be produced
Drugs that destroy white blood cells or damage bone marrow
Can white blood cell destroy red blood cells?
White blood cells generally destroy what they perceive as foreign to your own body. This may be any type of cell/tissue in your body, including red blood cells. When your immune system attacks your own body because it does not recognize it, this is called autoimmunity.
What are the 4 parts of the blood and their funtions?
Blood is made up of four main parts: red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), platelets (thrombocytes), and plasma. The liquid portion is the plasma, and the solid portion or the formed elements, are the red and white blood cells and the platelets.
Red blood cells deliver oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and transport carbon dioxide from the body to the lungs. White blood cells fight infection and kill off germs. Platelets combine with other blood components to form clots to prevent bleeding. Plasma, which is 90% water, is the medium in which all the blood components and clotting factors are transported.
Plasma contains ions (electrolytes) that help with osmotic pressure and pH balance, proteins that assist with clotting and immunity, and it transports nutrients, wastes, and hormones.
By volume, 51% of blood Is made up of plasma, and about 49% is made up of red blood cells. Less than 1% Is made up of platelets and white blood cells.
Where do hemoglobin synthesize?
at the bone marrow and liver and it occurs in both the cell's mitochondria and cytosol
What causes both atypical lymphocytes and ovalocytes?
Atypical lymphocytes - are caused by viral infections, may be noted in lymphocytic leukemia, and may be seen in allergies.
Ovalocytes are typically seen in cases of low hemoglobin or red blood cells counts, ie anemia. Sometimes even a slight decrease in rbc counts may cause a few ovalocytes to be seen.
Sometimes the lab tech reads the smear too closely noteing any ovalocyte or atypical lymph seen but the numbers are not actually a high enough percentage to be considered abnormal.
Does it hurt when blood gets in your eyes?
I think not because it's just the same as crying but blood has a raw smell on it so might as well wash your eyes very well to avoid infection.
How long does perocet stay in the blood?
to understand the answer you would have to understand what the half life of Oxycodone which is the narcotic in Percocet thankfully I know the answer which is between 3.5-6 hours depending on metabolism and diet. Anyway a half life is the time it takes for a drug to reach half of its original dose for example if you take 10mg's of oxycodone in 3-6 hours its going to feel like you had only taken 5mg in 3-6 more hours its going to feel like you took 2.5 mg and so on it usually takes 8-10 halflife processes for it to drop to a less than detectable level. It also depends on how much of the drug you take for example if you take alot of the drug for the drug to reach a less than detectable level its going to take many more half lives than it would if you were taking a lesser dose. Does this make sense to you my friend?
What color is your blood when it's in the veins but not in the arteries?
Blood moves away from the heart in arteries and back to the heart by the veins. Blood in the arteries is more red because it is high in oxygen. It is darker in the veins as it has lost much of it's oxygen
Blood is not blue in the veins but dark red. It looks blue because of how much light the blood is absorbing, in the color spectrum blood can absorb almost any color. It can absorb red, but it actually absorbs blue, but blue can't penetrate through the skin. At times the femoral vein (in the leg) is called "big blue".
Is the mineral that combines with a protein to from hemoglobin?
There are four atoms of iron in a molecule of hemoglobin. Each iron atom is attached to a porphyrin, forming a heme group. Each heme group is attached to a polypeptide chain.
There are two alpha and two beta polypeptides.
So a hemoglobin molecule has four heme groups, and four polypeptides.
An elevated count of which type of white blood cell is an indication of a bacterial infection?
White blood cell count is likely to drastically increase, or decrease, if a bacterial infection is present. White blood cells are normally fewer then red or platelets however, WBC primarily fight over infection, sicknes, etc. so they will be affected more so than RBC or platelets.

What red blood cells white blood calls platelets?
W.B.C =W.B.C ARE A PART OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM AND HELP THE BODY FIGHT INFECTION. IT INVOLVED IN DEFENDING THE BODY AGAINST BOTH CELLS OF THE INFECTIOUS DISEASES AND FOREIGN MATERIALS.
PLATELETS=PLATELETS ARE SMALLIRREGULARLY SHAPED CLEAR CELL FRAGMENTS.WHICH ARE DERIVED FROM FRAGMENTATION OF PRECURSOR MEGAKARYOCYTES
PLATELETS ARE A NATURAL SOURCE OF GROWTH FACTORS.THEY CIRCULATE IN THE blood of mammals are involved in hemostasis,leading to the formation of blood clots....
What is the average total volume of blood in males?
About 8% of a normally lean person's weight is blood. A normal 70 kg (154 pound) person has about 5 liters (or quarts) of blood. If the person is larger the blood volume will be higher. Fatty tissue does not have as much blood as muscle.
What is the color of capillary blood?
Capillaries are typically dark purple, because they are so far away from the point where they were oxygenated, and the redness in blood is caused by oxygen being present in the blood. But capillaries can be dark red when they are delivering blood.
