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.

What is normal range for LH in female?
The normal range of FSH and LH depends on the gender, age, menstrual status, and medication use of the patient. Contact your health care provider for normal levels based on your specific situation.
When oxygen enters the blood it combines with the red blood cells and forms what?
Oxygen enters the blood stream via the erythrocyte (Red blood cell, RBC), I am not sure what you are asking but the hemoglobin inside the RBC has 4 "oxygen holder molecules" called Heme's where an iron molecule (Fe++) is stored, the Fe++ is what oxygen attaches to.
Low Blood Glucose is the same thing as Low blood sugar, since Glucose is a form of sugar. Glucose is different from other sugars because it has only half the amount of sweetness, compared to other sugars such as Dextrose or Maltose.
Low blood sugar can result in Hypoglycemia, which is common in many people with diabetes.

What happens when a blood cell is placed into a 1.5 percent salt solution?
It is because the salt in the salt water will absord the fresh water in the cell, dehydrating it and making it shrivel up. The red blood cell shrivels up because of the process of osmosis. Water flows from an area of high concentration to lower concentration. If there is a lot of solute (picture a bunch of particles in water) then the water has a low concentration and a high concentration of solute. The RBC is sitting in extra cellular fluid (ECF). Within the RBC is intracellular fluid (ICF). If there is a lot of salt in the ECF or water like your example this means the fluid has a low concentration. Therefore, water from the ICF of the red blood cell will go out into the ECF so that its osmolarity will equal the osmolarity of the ECF. When more fluid goes to the ECF it is increasing it's concentration relative to the NaCl particles. Cells do this to maintain equality and balance.
What two things enter the blood stream directly from the stomach?
Caffeine and alcohol enter directly from the stomach.
it is produced by interstitial fibroblasts in the kidney in close association with peritubular capillary and tubular epithelial cells

What is the colour of platelets?
White blood cells and platelets have no color but appear white when they
are grouped together, as when blood is separated in a centrifuge. Together
they make up less than 1 % of the blood. They are pictured in text books
as having a variety of colors. This is because they can be stained with
various dyes after they are removed from the body then placed on a glass
slide.
I am not aware of any blood scent by humans , but animals can sense by olfactory ( smell) means various body functions including pregnancy. I know a house maid who was once nearly attacked by a Cat because ( the Cat could smell I was pregnant with a child) The cat was feral, wild, not a pet, by the way. Animals can detect all sorts of smells- such as burning wood from distant forest fires- gunpowder- which has a similar scent, and so on. These are animal survival instincts, obviously helpful to the Dog living in the woodland areas.
What happens if platelet count is below 50?
repeat sample analysis,check for clots, make a slide of the blood, and examine the slide microscopically if their are clots present then request for a new blood sample.
What is the first leukocytes to respond to tissue damage?
i dnt knw that's y i asked yall Durhh
I don't think people should get on here with the above crap, but I beleive they are
neutrophils
What would happen if your blood stopped?
you would die because your organs would not receive the oxygen they need to continue to live
Why a red blood cell would burst if placed in a drop of water?
Just make sure that your body had a low concentration of salt also remember you red blood cells are Selectively Permeable. Which means things can go in but not come out. use your common knowledge about what is said earlier
What is the first step in blood clotting?
Injury occurs and thrombocytes at site disintergrate and release thromboplastin
