Hemoglobin molcules account for more than 95 percent of Erythrocyte's proteins.
There are approx. 280 million moleules of hemoglobin in each RBC. hemoglobin also carries about 23 percent of carbon dioxide transposted in the blood.. And the bindings of amino acids to carbon dioxide or globin subunits is reversable
There are eight main blood types:
O positive, O negative, A positive, A negative, B positive, B negative, AB positive and AB negative.

Maximum hang time is four hours in Canada, from the time the unit is spiked.
This is to decrease the risk of bacterial growth.
A person with type B blood can only receive type B or O because it is said to be compatible and will not clump.
Answer
If you are otherwise healthy, maintaining a good diet is usually all that it takes for your body to make all the blood that you need.
Sometimes, an extra emphasis on iron-rich foods(green leaf vegetables) or even iron supplements can be needed.
Answer
there are four methods that i know of ------Normal Saline and Lactated Ringers Solution, Dextran, Haemaccel, Hetastarch, and in the case of surgery request a "Cell Saver" the intraoperative cell salvage machine suctions, washes, and filters blood so it can be given back to the patient's body instead of being thrown away. One advantage to this is the patient receives his/her own blood instead of donor blood, so there is no risk of contracting outside diseases. Because the blood is recirculated, there is no limit to the amount of blood that can be given back to the patient. The cell saver is also a viable alternative for patients with religious objections to receiving blood transfusions. ---------------------------------------
basically its a mini kidney dialysis machine , it recycles your blood through the machine and back into your body
Hepatitis B
Normal saline is the only IV fluid which is compatible with our blood. Given before to flush blood from the iv catheter and after to rinse it to make the site patent.
White blood cells make puss to protect the body slowing down the blood
What does it mean when they say u have a informality in your blood
FDA guidelines require a temporary deferral of one year from date of transfusion for potential donors who have received blood products. This is to minimize the possibility of transfusion-transmitted diseases entering the blood supply. Though unlikely, there is a risk of transfusion-acquired infections with all blood component use. The one year deferral allows any potential disease to be present long enough to be detected by FDA-mandated screening tests.
yes it is really dangerous to drink blood of different blood type. It is fatal.Incompatible blood causes reactions and that reactions forms blood clotts and it blocks the airways , veins and arteries. It also causes blood destruction that may lead to bleeding, dyspnea, and changes in vital signs. A fever is a preliminary change or a shock that cause death will occur. Seizure, difficulty of breathing, allergy and other irregularities will surely observed to the patient. Drinking blood is not the same as getting blood from an IV infusion. Blood that is drunk follows the same route as all food and drink - into your stomach where it is digested.
Most severe type, but rare incompatible blood incompatibility in multiple transfusions. Mostlikely to occurs when transfused red cells react with circulating antibody in the recipient with resultant intravascular hemolysis. When a group O patient is mistakenly transfused with group A, B, or AB blood. Patients receiving a major ABO- incompatible marrow or stem cell transplant with sufficient red cell content will likely develop an acute hemolytic reaction. Symptoms are: fever, chills and fever, the feeling of heat along the vein in which the blood is being transfused, pain in the lumbar region, constricting pain in the chest, tachycardia, hypotension, and hemoglobinemia with subsequent hemoglobinuria and hyperbilirubinemia. Prevention: proper identification of patients, pre-transfusion blood samples and blood components at the same time of transfusion.
Red blood cells have haemoglobin which helps in the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
No because the person with type O has antibodies against the A antigens that are present of the red blood cells of people with type A blood. This means that the blood would clot in the arteries and cause blockaged possible resulting in death.
can two o positive blood types make an RH Negitive baby
Nothing will happen. People with type AB blood can receive all types of blood (AB, A, B, O)
People on blood thinner such as coumadin are not eligible to donate blood. The blood thinner inhibits the bloods ability to clot and may be dangerous to the recipient of the blood transfusion, especially during surgery.
Blood transfusions can't cause HIV, but if a carrier of HIV would donate blood, then whoever gets that blood can catch HIV from the donated blood.
It happened a few times when HIV had just started to spread, but nowadays there are testing procedures in place to stop that from happening.
You get Septicemic Plague when this bacterium Yersinia Pestis enters an opening of the skin, a wound, from a piece of clothing used by an infected person. This disease can also appear when the bubonic or pneumonic plague is untreated.
