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 does a high gamma GT blood value mean?
the common cause for a high level is related to alcohol intake.
drug intake could also do it.
hepatitis can as well.
myocardial infarct can also increase the levels.
What is the normal value of arterial blood gas?
1. PH, HCO3, and base excess, depicts the acid-base balance of the body, which is being controlled by the kidneys and lungs.
2. PCO2 gives the ventilatory status of the body
3 PO2 tells the oxygenation status of the body.
Bleeding from a vein. bleeding from the vein. usually a dark red slow bleed.
Why does blood flow slowly in a kidney during a vigorous exercise?
Blood flow to the kidneys and abdomen decreases duringexercise because the muscles need more oxygen, and so, the blood vessels in them dilate. This causes more blood to go to the muscles, leaving less blood in the rest of the body.
Does a drop of semen have ten drops of blood in it?
Rarely, a guy will observe a little blood in the ejaculate, and that can be a really scary thing. Some guys might get a little 'over-enthused' about the activity, and push the system a little too hard. It could also be a medical problem. If this happens very very rarely, it's probably not a problem. If you notice that this is happening often, you must see a doctor.
99% of times no cause can be found, it's probably not a problem
Eating a dish containing red beets may color semen to look bloody.
they do not have red blood cells/corpuscles like other animals.
there is one variety of crab which has blue blood called Horseshoe crab, which they use it for medicinal purpose.
Woodlice along with most other crustaceans including the horseshoe crab have the compound haemocyanin in their blood.
Haemocycanin carries oxygen in the same way that haemoglobin does in mammals.
Haemocycanin contains a copper atom instead of the iron atom found in haemogobin.
The blood is pale blue when it is carrying oxygen and colourless when it is not carrying oxygen.
hope this will solve your problems.

What is selective redistribution of blood?
Selective redistribution of blood is an important factor in increasing performance during physical activity arteries dilate and constrict during this process
Erythrocyte means red blood cell, it is not an antibiotic. You may be confusing this word with erythromycin.
What are the physical characteristics of blood?
blood is actually blue but once it hits oxygen it turns red. its thick and warm
Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell that can be measured via blood test. If eosinophil counts are low in the body, it could mean that a person has an infection, allergy, or is dealing with a parasite problem.
What could cause you to vomit blood?
There are a few medical causes that can cause a person to throw up blood. Some reasons could be cancer, gastritis, and cirrhosis. Anytime a person is vomiting up blood, they need to seek emergency treatment.
What test detects the average blood glucose levels over the previous 3 weeks?
It is called the HbA1c test. It measures the percentage of sugar that has attached to your blood cells. So it is the most accurate measure for the condition of Diabetes effects over time.
Numbers above 7% are considered diabetic or pre diabetic
Numbers under 6 % are better.
5.5 to 5.6 is considered normal.
You can purchase an at home test for less than $10.
How to increase hemoglobin faster?
Answer 1:
You can increase hemoglobin by eating green vegtables, fruits, red meats etc. that are rich in iron. The reason this increases hemoglobin is because the main oxygen binding component is Fe2+ which is stopped from forming into Fe3+ (rust) by the heme groups attached.
Answer 2:
Hemoglobin can always be increased by a red blood cell transfusion (in which an anticoagulant is used), but otherwise it depends on the reason for it being low. The most common cause of low hemoglobin is bleeding due to injury, heavy menstration, ulcers, etc. In this case, hypotension (low blood pressure) is likely as well as syncope (fainting). The second most likely cause is iron deficiency, and a disease related cause would be anemia.
Answer 3:
Though it is important to have high concentrations of hemoglobin's affinity to oxygen bears great importance, which pertains to it's confirmation (T-state, decreased affinity, R-state, increased affinity), pH, Temperature, as well as Gibbs free energy favorability. The affinity and the correct cooperativity are best controlled by exercising (generally aerobic), high altitudes, blood transfusion, as well as, decreased C02 or CO intake which has >200x the binding affinity of oxygen.
Constipation is the major cause for lowered levels of hemoglobin. You can avoid constipation with regular eating habits of wholesome foods, fruits and vegetables. It is recommended that you eat five times a day, three meals and two snacks, with 40 percent of calories from carbohydrates, 30 percent from protein, and 30 percent from unsaturated fats. This can include: three fourths vegetables and one part cereals. Curry leaves known as 'amla' are known to increase hemoglobin levels. Breathing exercises, with proper guidance, can also help.
Hey you need to try some supplements that can give you more iron. We have tried Vemma- it is multi vitamin nautral fruit supplement that can give you good iron and also increase your haemoglobin count. It is not a medicine, its a wellness product. You have to take it every day for atelast couple of months to see the change. Its not a medicine to do the magic overnite.
What can an abnormally high white blood cell count in urine mean?
White blood cells in the urine are an indication of an infection or inflammation in the urinary system. Generally, the number of WBCs is what determines the diagnosis. Pyelonephritis and urinary tract infections can both cause white blood cells in the urine.
What is a normal platelets in numbers?
A normal platelet count for a human ranges between 150,000 and 450,000 platelets per microliter. The average platelet count for men is 237,000 per microliter. The average platelet count for women is 266,000 per microliter.
The sticky protein threads that function in blood clotting?
A blood clot is a semisolid gelatinous mass of coagulated consisting of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets enclosed in a fibrin network. A great variety of structural proteins are present in a blood clot, for instance haemoglobin in red blood cells, antibodies in white blood cells, and fibrin in the platelets.
What are the small vessels where blood exchanges various materials with cells?
The human circulatory system consists of arteries, veins, and capillaries. The capillaries are the thin-walled vessels that connect arteries and veins and allow for the exchange of materials between blood and tissue fluid.
People die from blood loss when the amount of blood is so low that the heart's intake of oxygen, from the blood, is too little. When the heart doesn't get enough oxygen... It stops!
Why is it important to keep yourself healthy?
It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle in having a long, disease-free life. By eating unhealthy foods you can develop high cholesterol, diabetes and these can lead to early death through a heart attack, or other cardiovascascular problems. Regular exercising of AT LEAST 30 - 1hr a day of brisk walking is needed for the circulation of your body and fresh oxygen to your brain.
To avoid disease, pain, early death etc. have a HEALTHY LIFESTYLE.
On average how much blood does a vampire bat drink per day?
There are many different types of bats, but there's only one type that drinks blood-the vampire bat. In fact, they are the only mammals that feed entirely on blood. Scientists say the first vampire bats were related to bats that gorged themselves on the parasites of prehistoric beasts. Vampire bats mainly drink the blood of cows, horses, pigs, and birds.
They did have a nucleus . When they are formed in the bone-marrow, they contain a nucleus, but when the become mature it is replaced by haemoglobin in order to carry more oxygen.

Could father with a blood group and mother with b blood group have child with o blood group?
The most likely blood type for the child will be A+.
However, it will depend on whether the father is heterozygous (Ao) or homozygous (AA).
If the father is heterozygous for both traits (Ao and +-) the possibilities are:
A+, A-, O+ and O-.
If the father is homozygous for both (AA and ++) then the child must have type A+.
Why platelets are not true cells?
They are pieces of cells. They do not have a nucleus, etc. Platelets create scabs when you get a cut so that your blood doesn't keep pouring out.
Humans and animals breathe to supply the blood with oxygen, and to deliver oxygen-rich blood to all parts of the body. We need to breathe so we have a constant supply of oxygen in our lungs, that can be absorbed by our body. The oxygen is used by cells for respiration, to produce energy.
We need to breath because if we don't we will die.
We need to take the oxygen in, and let the carbon dioxide out.
We need to breath because if we don't we will die.
We need to take the oxygen in, and let the carbon dioxide out.
People breathe because we need a few things to survive, like food and water, and fresh air and oxygen is one of them.
People breathe to survive. The human body has to have oxygen in order to survive so if people did not breathe, they would die.
Humans breathe for cellular respiration, meaning for us to live. Otherwise, people would die, because about all the cells in our bodies need oxygen for energy.
You have to so you can get air to your lungs to keep your heart beating and pumping blood to your body to survive.
Because if not we would die. Breathing is an involuntary action that is controlled by the primitive part of your brain. "in with the good, out with the bad."
What will happen to a person whose white blood cells do not function as they should?
If red blood cells in your body did not function properly it would eventually cause your death because as you know red blood cells carry haemoglobin ( which is oxygen ) , these red blood cells carry haemoglobin around your body and to your heart so if your heart no longer gets oxygen your heart will stop functioning and you will die .
