Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The heart is the muscular organ which is approximately the size of one’s fist. It is located behind and slightly left of the breastbone. The function of the heart is to pump the blood by arteries and veins. The whole network of arteries, veins, and heart is termed as cardiovascular system.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless gas that result from the burning of
hydrocarbons, such as in a poorly functioning furnace or vehicle emissions. CO can bind
with hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin. Hemoglobin's affinity for CO is 200 times
greater than its affinity for oxygen. The initial symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning
are flu-like, such as dizziness, headache and vomiting. However, when left unchecked,
CO poisoning can result in unconsciousness, loss of blood flow to the vital organs and,
eventually, death.

- biliverdin macrophages urobilinogen bilirubin Erythrocytes are continually replaced. Worn-out erythrocytes are lysed in the spleen as they pass through splenic cords in the spleen. digest these cell parts, and separate heme from the globin units of hemoglobin. The globin proteins are broken down into amino acids and recycled. The heme pigment is converted into , then , and released into the blood. It is concentrated in urine, producing its yellow color. The liver removes additional bilirubin and secretes it into bile. When released into the small intestine, bacteria transform it into which makes feces brown.arrow_forwardHemoglobin 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.
