They give you an Injection to stop you getting ill then they put this big needle and it goes right through your arm.........and swallows the blood up!
2nd answer:
Perhaps at this point someone can post a real answer . . .
Does drinking alcohol lower white blood cell count?
Alcohol increases the amount of white blood cells you need to fight off sickness
What blood type will the child be with parents blood type o negative mother and father o positive?
The baby can only be an O Blood Group as both parents can only be carrying 'O' type genes.
The baby would have a 75% chance of being an O positive and a 25% chance of being an O negative.
This is because the mother can only pass on a Rhesus negative gene but the father might either have two Rhesus positive genes or one Rhesus positive and one Rhesus negative.
If the first is true the child will only be O positive, if the second is true it could be O positive or O negative depending on which gene the father passes.
What will happen if no of White Blood Cells decreases in your body?
your body would have a very hard time fighting off infection and you would eventually die.
Do platelets contain mitochondria?
No, platelets do not have a nucleus. They're known as anucleur cells.
What can cause low whit and red blood cell count and low platelet count?
Do you eat a lot of licorice? Too much licorice ( especially the pure licorice candies) can lower your potassium level which in turn effects your white blood count.
Does carbon dioxide leave your blood in your lungs?
yes it does leave our blood and comes out through the lungs (breathing out)
What prevents oxygenated blood from mixing with deoxygenated blood?
there are atrioventricular valves. Between the right atrium and right ventricle there is the tricuspid valve and between the left atrium and left ventricle there is the bicuspid (mitral) valve. When atria contract the valves open and when the ventricles contract they close.
High neutrophils and low lymphs?
Neutrophils and lymphocytes are types of white blood cells that play an important role in providing immunity against infections. A low neutrophil count coupled with a high lymphocyte count can indicate a viral infection, autoimmune disease, or leukemia.
What is the medical term meaning the rate at which blood will clot?
The term for a blood clot depends on whether the clot is stationary or has migrated into the blood stream.
A stationary clot that is lodged in the heart or any other organ, is known as a "thrombus".
If the blood clot goes elsewhere via the bloodstream, then it is called an embolism.
What trace element is needed to make hemoglobin for oxygen transport?
Iron (Fe) is a trace element that contributes to the composition of the protein called Hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is carried in red blood cells. Hemoglobin's main job is to carry oxygen throughout the body. So, when a person does not have enough iron in their body, they will begin to feel drowsy and fatigued, because the proper amount of oxygen is not available. This condition is called Anemia.
No possible way to tell. The A and O are phenotypes, meaning that their personal blood type has the respective characteristics. There is also their genotypes, which they get from their parents and can be two different types, although one of the two will be their genotype. So it is possible that A type blood came from an A parent and a B parent. The O blood could have come from an O parent and an AB parent. It is conceivable that those two could have four children, all with different blood types. The rhesus factor ( positive or negative ) is another complication.

What is a hematology lab test ANA for?
ANA or Antinuclear Antibody is a test that helps detect autoimmune disorders in the body. This is usually done to diagnose systemic lupus erythematosus or SLE.
What is holding back blood from tissue called?
Isehemia is the medical term meaning holding back blood from tissue. Ischemia prevents tissue from getting enough oxygen.
Is blood and protein the same thing?
Blood and protein are two entirely different things.. They are both good for your body, but in different ways. Blood carries oxygen through your veins and helps defend your body against pathogens and air born viruses, etc. Protein will make your bones stronger, and can make you taller.
How blood can be get thin if it is thick?
Blood can be thinned using various dugs, but the most readily available one is Aspirin. However, check with your doctor that you can take it, and always follow the instructions on the packet, as Aspirin kills.
How many genes are involved i determining your blood type?
the human blood type is controlled by the gene 'I'. It is of 3 types Ia, Ib and i. the alleles 'Ia' and 'Ib' produce slightly different sugar polymers protruding on its surface while the 'i' doesn't produce any sugar polymers. as humans are haploid the contain 2 alleles out of the 3 I gene alleles, as the individual alleles come from the parent gamete. the alleles 'Ia' and 'Ib' are completely dominant over 'i', i.e, if alleles 'Ia' and 'i' are present then only the allele 'Ia' will be expressed, and the same for 'Ib' and 'i' happens, but when 'Ia' and 'Ib' are present together then they both express their own types, this is because of the co-dominance.
Ia + Ia = IaIa = A
Ia + Ib = IaIb = AB
Ia + i = Iai = A
Ib + Ia = IbIa = AB
Ib + Ib = IbIb = B
Ib + i = Ibi = B
i + i = ii = 0 (zero commonly known as O)
What is hemoglobin carry to the cell?
Hemoglobin carries oxygen to the body's tissues. It is found in erythrocytes.
