Select all that apply: Pernicious anemia is most common in older people. Which choice lists the correct relationships among the factors that cause this disorder? The reduced secretion of intrinsic factor means that vitamin B12 cannot be absorbed, and macrocytes are produced instead of erythrocytes. The reduced synthesis of vitamin B12 results in the production of too many platelets. The reduced secretion of intrinsic factor means that vitamin B12 cannot be absorbed, and too many red blood cells are destroyed. The increased secretion of intrinsic factor results in excess levels of vitamin B12, which causes the synthesis of too many red blood cells for the spleen to break down.
Question- Complications of blood transfusion are variable among different recipients. These complications are not limited to hemolytic reaction, but also many other reactions could be seen in recipient after blood transfusion.

View these animations (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/coagulation) to explore the intrinsic, extrinsic, and common pathways that are involved the process of coagulation. The coagulation cascade restores hemostasis by activating coagulation factors in the presence of an injury. How does the endothelium of the blood vessel walls prevent the blood from coagulating as it flows through the blood vessels?
True or false? The plasma proteins suspended in blood cross the capillary cell membrane and enter the tissue fluid via facilitated diffusion. Explain your thinking.

Project Controlling Red Blood Cell Loss During Surgery A typical volume of blood in the human body is about 5 L. A certain percentage of that volume (called the hematocrit) consists of red blood cells (RBCs); typically the hematocrit is about 45% in males. Suppose that a surgery takes four hours and a male patient bleeds 2 L of blood. During surgery the patient's blood volume is maintained at 5 L by injection of saline solution, which mixes quickly with the blood but dilutes it so that the hematocrit decreases as time passes. 1. Assuming that the rate of RBC loss is proportional to the concentration of RBCs, determine the patient's concentration of RBCs by the end of the operation. 2. A procedure called acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) has been developed to minimize RBC loss during surgery. In this procedure blood is extracted from the patient before the operation and replaced with saline solution. This dilutes the patient's blood, resulting in fewer RBCs being lost during the…
