Which of the following situations occurs if a person's blood becomes more alkaline? A. Hemoglobin molecules retain less oxygen per heme group under alkaline conditions than they do at neutral pH or under acidic conditions. B. Hemoglobin molecules give up oxygen more readily under alkaline conditions than they do under neutral pH or under acidic conditions. C. Hemoglobin molecules change shape and begin to lose oxygen molecules. D. Hemoglobin molecules retain oxygen more readily under alkaline conditions than they do at neutral pH or under acidic conditions. E.

Which of the following statements is INCORRECT about how the components of hemoglobin are recycled? a. Iron ions are either stored in a phagocytic cell or circulate in the blood, bound to transferrin (a plasma protein). b. Each heme is stripped of its iron and converted to bilirubin, then excreted in bile. c. The alpha and beta chains are released into the bloodstream for use by other cells. d. Hemoglobin can be recycled only if phagocytized by macrophages.

Why does the measurement of HbA1c requires a whole blood as a sample instead of plasma or serum?
Hemoglobin will bind oxygen and release CO2 in places where there is a higher concentration of O2, lower concentration of CO2, lower temperature and lower acidity (as it is in lungs) and will do the reverse – release oxygen and bind CO2 - in places where there is a lower concentration of O2, higher concentration of CO2, higher temperature and higher acidity (as it is in working muscles). True False While white blood cells never leave the circulation, red blood cells regularly leave it and travel by lymphatic system or find home in other tissues, e.g., lymph nodes, spleen, etc. True False Blood clotting (coagulation) is a complex process involving many factors and it exhibits positive feedback loops: many of the factors also stimulate production of their own precursors. B lymphocytes mature in the thymus while T lymphocytes mature in the bone marrow True False Antibodies are molecules on the surfaces of foreign…
