Introduction:
There are three different types of blood cells present in blood: Erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets. Every group of cell performs different functions. Red blood cells or erythrocytes mainly help in the transport of nutrients and gaseous exchange along the body. White blood cells provide defense to the body against the various foreign substance. Platelets help in the clotting of damaged blood vessels to prevent excessive blood flow.

- A 50-year-old postmenopausal woman has emphysema. This lung disease impairs the ability to oxygenate the blood, so patients experience significant fatigue and shortness of breath. To alleviate these symptoms, oxygen is typically prescribed, and this patient has a portable oxygen tank she carries with her at all times, breathing through nasal cannulae. Before she began using oxygen, her red blood cell (RBC) count was 6.3 x 1012/L. After oxygen therapy for several months, her RBC count dropped to 4.0 x 1012/L. What physiologic response explains the elevation of the first RBC count? What hormone is responsible? How is its production stimulated? What is the major way in which it acts? What explains the decline in RBC count with oxygen therapy for this patient?arrow_forwardA 50-year-old postmenopausal woman has emphysema.
