Many cancer cells were trapped in the capillary bed but most of them were not able to escape the blood into the tissues. c. Most of the cancer cells were trapped in the capillary bed but only a small percentage formed macrometastases d. Many cancer cells were trapped in the capillary bed and most of these became macrometastases.

The bacterial enzyme streptokinase is used to digest fibrin (blood clot) in patients with atherosclerosis. Describe in detail why doesn't injection of streptokinase cause a streptococcal infection? Evaluate on how do we know streptokinase will digest fibrin only and not good tissue?
A patient was involved a serious accident and lost a large quantity of blood. In an attempt to replenish body fluids, plain water is added to the blood directly via one of his veins. What will be the most probable result of this transfusion? a. The patient's red blood cells will shrivel up because the blood has become hypotonic compared to the cells. b. The patient's red blood cells will swell and possibly burst because the blood has become hypotonic compared to the cells. c. The patient's red blood cells will shrivel up because the blood has become hypertonic compared to the cells. d. The patient's red blood cells will burst because the blood has become hypertonic compared to the cells.
Endurance athletes sometimes try an illegal method of blood doping called autologous transfusion. Some blood from the athlete is removed well before competition, and then transfused back into the athlete just before competition. (a) Why might blood transfusion benefit the athlete? (b) With time, stored red blood cells become depleted in 2,3-BPG. What might be the consequences of using such blood for a blood transfusion?

Recently, athletes have begun to take advantage of the benefits of extra red blood cells, in a process known as `` blood doping`` (You can do your own research on it). Two weeks prior to a competition, a blood sample is taken and centrifuged, and the red blood cell component is stored. A few days before the event, the red blood cells are injected into the athlete. Why would athletes remove red blood cells only to return them to their bodies later? What problems could be created.
