Blood

Red blood cells are broken down in the liver and spleen, releasing iron and other components for recycling. Any waste products are excreted in the stool as bilirubin, giving stool its characteristic brown color after processing by gut microbes.

A blood smear test is commonly used to identify the makeup of the surface of a red blood cell, including its morphology, size, shape, and presence of abnormalities like irregularities or parasites. This test involves preparing a thin blood sample on a glass slide for microscopic examination by a medical professional.

Yes, parents with blood group O positive can have a child with blood group O negative. This is possible if one parent is heterozygous for the Rh factor (one parent has both positive and negative Rh alleles), allowing for the possibility of the child inheriting the negative Rh factor.

Yes, leukocytosis is a condition where there is an elevated white blood cell count, typically above 11,000 cells per cubic millimeter. It can be caused by various factors such as infections, inflammatory conditions, or stress. Further investigation is usually needed to determine the underlying cause of leukocytosis.

Chemical signals released by damaged cells or bacteria, known as chemotaxis, will attract white blood cells to the site of infection more quickly. Inflammatory mediators such as cytokines and histamines also play a role in promoting the migration of white blood cells to the infected area.

White blood cells and phagocytes contain organelles called lysosomes, which are responsible for breaking down and digesting foreign particles, such as bacteria and viruses, that the cell engulfs during the process of phagocytosis.

Neutrophils are blood cells that have lobed nuclei and red cytoplasmic granules. They are a type of white blood cell that plays a key role in the body's immune response by engulfing and destroying bacteria and other harmful organisms.

No, there are different types of blood cells, each with specific functions. The main types of blood cells are red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. They vary in size, shape, and function.

The Nattharick's solution does not cause lysis of white blood cells because it is an isotonic solution, meaning it has the same osmotic pressure as the cells. This balance in osmotic pressure prevents the solution from causing the white blood cells to take up too much water or lose too much water, which would result in cell lysis.

Blood itself is not the buffer. Hemoglobin is, controlling the pH because it binds to oxygen, carbon dioxide, and most importantly hydrogen ions. If hydrogen ions were produced without hemoglobin, the pH would rise very quickly and the human body would fail.

If a structure in the shoulder of a human is found to carry oxygen-rich red blood cells, it would likely be an artery rather than a typical bone or joint structure. This could indicate a variation in the anatomy or a medical condition, such as a vascular anomaly or abnormal blood vessel formation. Further evaluation by a medical professional would be needed to determine the cause and potential implications of this finding.

Leukemia is a type of cancer that affects the bone marrow and causes an overproduction of abnormal white blood cells. These abnormal white blood cells do not function properly and can crowd out the normal white blood cells, leading to a weakened immune system. White blood cells are a crucial part of the immune system and are responsible for defending the body against infections. They work by detecting and destroying foreign invaders like bacteria and viruses.

This cross AO X BO, would yield that genotype.

This cross, AA X BO, would not yield BO. AO X BB would not do it either.

So, I assume only AO ( and, from the info given, BO ) is possible for mom.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a poisonous byproduct of metabolism that can damage cells if it is not removed. Catalase is an enzyme that speeds up the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water (H2O) and oxygen gas (O2).

Hydrogen peroxide is not recommended for cleaning up Hepatitis C blood spills. It is best to use an EPA-approved disinfectant that is effective against bloodborne pathogens to ensure proper and safe disinfection. It is also important to follow proper cleanup procedures to minimize the risk of transmission.

Red blood cells contain hemoglobin which is is the iron-containing oxygen-transport metalloprotein in the red blood cells of all vertebrates. The red blood cells also have enzymes that help the cell produce energy. There are many other proteins too.

A hypertonic suspension would cause red blood cells to appear wrinkled and reduced in volume. This is because in a hypertonic solution, there is a higher concentration of solutes outside the red blood cells compared to inside, leading to water leaving the cells and causing them to shrink and lose their usual shape.

Oxygen and carbon dioxide are two substances exchanged across the membranes of red blood cells and muscle cells during respiration. Oxygen is taken up by red blood cells in the lungs and delivered to muscle cells for energy production, while carbon dioxide produced by muscle cells is carried away by red blood cells to be exhaled from the body.

Potato cells have a tough cell wall that provides structure and support, preventing excessive swelling and bursting when placed in distilled water. The cell wall is made of cellulose, a strong polysaccharide polymer that helps maintain the cell's shape and integrity.

I think its osmosis because the water potential in the distilled water is higher than in the red blood cell. Henceforth, water would move into the cell by osmosis. But, I don't think the cell will be diluted because it will swell and eventually haemolysis will occur.

White blood cells play a key role in maintaining homeostasis by detecting and destroying pathogens or abnormal cells that could disrupt the body's equilibrium. They work with other immune cells, such as lymphocytes and macrophages, to coordinate the immune response and control inflammation. By fighting off infections and promoting healing, white blood cells help keep the internal environment stable.

Glomerular Filtration - a passive process in which fluid passes from the blood into the glomerular capsule (part of the renal tubule) Once in the capsule the fluid is called filtrate and is essentially blood plasma without proteins
