What should fasting blood sugar be?
A normal blood glucose level is less than 100mg/dL when fasting and less than 140 mg/dL two hours after eating. A blood glucose level and blood sugar reading are the same thing. A person with higher than normal levels could be diabetic or be diagnosed with pre diabetes. There are several different tests that can be taken for diabetes but it is especially important to get checked if one has a family history of diabetes.

What does 5.1 white blood cell count mean?
Assuming you are referring to a CSF count and not a blood test, it means you likely have no infection. A normal CSF white count ranges from 0-5, varying from person to person, a higher number likely means you have an infection causing a high white count. One is a perfectly normal number (assuming you are healthy, in most cases) and should be of no cause for alarm.
However if you took a blood test and your white count is one, get to a clean room and settle your affairs.
How many platelets are in 1 drop of blood?
Whole blood is divided into three parts: red blood cells, plasma, and platelets. So, there are essentially no platelets in a unit of blood. Those that are in a unit of blood are not functional as they have been stored in the refrigerator and are weeks old. Platelets need to be stored at room temperature and used within a week of collection.
Which of the diagrams shows red blood cells in the 0.65 M solution?
Since you did not include a diagram, it is impossible to pick a diagram. But RBC in a 2M solution would be crenated. That word means notched.
The type of leukocyte that becomes a macrophage is a monocyte. Macrophages are cells that digest cellular debris and pathogens.
What happen if the white blood cell is high?
Mild low levels are common and usually harmless. They are especially common in people of African descent. if the decrease is more than mild and persistent or accompanied by other symptoms or abnormalities it may warrant further evaluation. The white cells fight infection so, besides being a sign of another problem, low levels can lead you to get sick easily.
What is failure of blood cell production due to absence of formation of cells?
Myelodysplasias (myelodsplastic syndrome) are bone marrow disorders that impact blood cell production.
Red Blood cells can be low for many reasons. They are produced in response to hypoxia (low amounts of oxygen in the blood), when the hormone erythropoeitin is released from the kidneys. Blood cells are made in the white bone marrow. Your RBCs could be low because you are bleeding somewhere (gi bleed, internal bleeding), there is a problem with your erythopoeitin being released, or your spleen is destroying them to quickly. there are many reasons why it could be low these are just a few of the common reasons. there are many types of Anemias classified by the reason they are occurring.
Can o positive blood be given to o negative patient?
No. There are 4 basic blood types: A, B, AB, and O O can be given to any of the above types HOWEVER the second factor in blood donation is the Rh factor. When a blood is said to be either - or + it is describing whither the blood does or does not have Rh antibodies in it. (An person with O+ blood has Rh antibodies) The only people that can get a + blood type are those who have a + blood type themselves. If a person who has a - blood type receives a + blood transfusion the body's immune system will see the Rh antibodies as invaders and try to attack the cells causing an inflammatory response by the body and the person can die. Therefore a person who is B- cannot receive O+ blood. O- is the "universal donor" because ANY blood type regardless of type or Rh status can receive that donor.
What would happen to your bodies if blood pH was changed or altered?
You would die
because it needs to be
between 7.35 and 7.45 for homeostasis a.k.a balance for our bodies
If it's too high or low our bodies would not function.
It will fail.
What is hemoglobin-oxygen combination called?
Oxygen+Hb= Oxyheamoglobin
CO+Hb=Carboxyheamoglobin
sulfur dioxide+Hb= sulfheamoglobin
What buffer present in human blood is essential in maintaining pH between 7.35 and 7.45?
Slightly basic
Where does oxygen-poor blood become oxygen-rich blood?
To be rich in something means you have a lot of it, right? Well, for our blood to be rich in oxygen, we must have a lot of oxygen in the blood. Oxygen poor would be the opposite...minimal oxygen availability.
What formed elements of the blood have a nucleus?
White blood cells are the only formed element of blood that have nuclei. The formed elements of blood are red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes). Red blood cells lose their nuclei during the maturation process. Platelets are cell fragments that do not have nuclei.
white blood cells
What actively phagocytic leukocytes?
To ingest invading microorganisms that have breached external defenses.
How do tadpoles develop without a placenta that links them to its mothers blood supply?
They develop by feeding from the yolk of the egg that the frog has laid and that is the equivalent of a placenta.
How much hemoglobin increases after 1 unit of whole blood transfusion?
The mean Hgb increment closely approximated 1 g/dL. There was a wide variation among the patients, females experienced a greater Hgb increase than males. Allogeneic units increased Hgb more than autologous units.
