Blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, are produced inside the bone marrow of certain bones in the body, such as the sternum, ribs, vertebrae, and pelvis. The bone marrow is a spongy tissue found within these bones that is responsible for the production of new blood cells.

That is extremely acidic! Normal is 7.4 +/- 0.05. In the hospital, you might get IV bicarb, but specifics depend on whether this is a diabetic or other metabolic problem - not something you fix with a simple change in diet, because you'll want to fix it fast.

When a red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution like dextrose, water will move out of the cell by osmosis, causing the cell to shrink and potentially become crenated. This is because the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside, creating a concentration gradient that drives water out of the cell.

Red blood cells do not contain mitochondria, they are designed to deliver O2 via their complex heme centers & thus contain no nucleus/organelles, maximizing space for this job. Red blood cells arise from bone marrow stem cells & only circulate, carrying O2 for about 120 days before the spleen recycles their heme groups.

Red blood cells (RBCs) are the oxygen-carrying cells in circulation in the body. RBCs contain the molecule hemoglobin that can bind oxygen (O2) and transport it all over the body. Anemia is lack of sufficient RBCs (and hemoglobin) to carry enough O2. You get tired easily, have muscle weakness, and your heart struggles. Your bone marrow will produce more RBCs that need more hemoglobin to fill them. Hemoglobin has iron in the center that binds to the O2. So you need RBC production from the bone marrow and iron intake from the diet to produce more O2-carrying capacity. This causes your RBC count, the number of RBCs in circulation per unit volume, to increase. RBC count is called the Red Cell Count (RCC). RCC in cells/femtoliter = hematocrit divided by mean corpuscular volume in femtoliters per cell.

The biconcave shape of red blood cells allows for a larger surface area-to-volume ratio, which aids in gas exchange by increasing the efficiency of oxygen and carbon dioxide diffusion. Additionally, the shape gives red blood cells flexibility to deform and pass through narrow capillaries or vessels to deliver oxygen to tissues throughout the body.

A positive blood test for Lyme disease can remain positive for many years, even after successful treatment. This is because the antibodies produced in response to the infection can persist in the blood. It is important to interpret the test results in the context of clinical symptoms and additional tests if needed.

Yes, this combination is possible as blood types B and O are compatible for childbearing. The potential offspring could have blood types B or O. However, determining blood compatibility for marriage or reproduction is more complex and involves additional factors beyond just blood type. It is recommended to consult with a medical professional for personalized advice.

The red color of red blood cells comes from hemoglobin, a protein that binds to oxygen and gives the cells their characteristic hue. Hemoglobin contains iron, which is responsible for the red coloration.

The erythrocyte can become haemolysed even if the solution(serum/plasma) is still clear. Visible check on haemolysed serum/plasma is not reliable as this is subject to the inspector. A haemolysed sample is defined when the concentration of the HGB in the serum/plasma is more than 100 mg/dl and not suitable for further laboratory testing. Therefore, erythrocyte in a clear serum/plasma may still be haemolysed, just that the level of haemolysed may be less than 100 mg/dl, and still suitable for laboratory testing.

Well, I'm guessing humans since our red blood cells don't have any nuclei

Blood has lots of cells predominantly the RBCs, WBCs and platelets.

WBCs are further of 2 types: Lymphocytes and monocytes.

Lymphocytes can be B-lymphocyte or T-lymphocyte.

Monocytes are divided into Acidophils, basophils and neutrophils..

See blood contains LOTS OF SMALL CELLS..:)

bacteriophage is a virus that kills bacteria

No, the blood serum does not contain any cells. Serum contains non-coagulation related proteins, electrolytes, antibodies, antigens, hormones, and anything that was introduced into the body from an external source (i.e. drugs and microorganisms). Blood cells are normally found in blood plasma.

One unit of platelets typically contains about 50 to 70 milliliters of volume. The expected rise in platelet count after transfusion can vary depending on the individual's condition, but a general guideline is an increase of 5,000 to 10,000 platelets per microliter of blood for every unit of platelets transfused.

White blood cells do not contain hemoglobin; they are part of the immune system and play a crucial role in fighting infections and diseases. Red blood cells are the ones primarily made of hemoglobin and are responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body.

Blood doping is the process of injecting extra blood to result in a higher heamoglobin level. This improves oxygen carrying capacity and endurance.

The source of the blood can be autologous (the blood was initially taken from the person, usually following training at altitude to increase the level of heamoglobin, frozen, and then injected back into the same person) or heterologous (tranferring blood from one person to another).

It's not a blood cell. It is platelets. They clot due to blood loss from damaged blood vessels

When red blood cells are kept in a 10% glucose solution, water will flow out of the cells due to osmosis, causing them to shrink and become crenated. This is because the solution is hypertonic compared to the inside of the red blood cells.

Red blood cells, also known as red corpuscles, are the most common type of blood cell. They are responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to all the tissues in the body, and for carrying carbon dioxide back to the lungs to be exhaled. Red blood cells contain a protein called hemoglobin, which gives them their red color and allows them to transport oxygen.

Mammalian red blood cells do not contain a nucleus.

RBC of all the mammals is anucleated without any exception. RBC of mammals are nucleated only during embryonic stages. It's just that RBC's of camels and llama are oval in shape and anucleated.

No, it is not recommended to remix centrifuged whole blood specimens as it can affect the accuracy of test results due to potential cell lysis and mixing of plasma/serum with cellular components. It is best to follow the specific instructions provided for each test to ensure accurate results.
