Is red blood cells(erythrocytes) considered true cells histologically? Why or why not? Explain
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.
When you are sick with a cold or the flu, you may have a stuffy or runny nose,
sneeze frequently, or have a headache. The culprit for many of these symptoms
is histamine.

- A patient has had a serious accident and lost a lot of blood. In an attempt to replenish body fluids, a large amount of distilled water was transferred directly into one of his veins. What will be the most probable result of this transfusion? It will have serious, perhaps fatal, consequences because the red blood cells will be hypertonic relative to the body fluids and the cells will burst. It will have serious, perhaps fatal, consequences because the red blood cells will be hypotonic relative to the body fluids and the cells will shrivel. It will have no unfavorable effect as long as the water is free of viruses and bacteria. It will have no serious effect because the kidneys would quickly eliminate the excess water. It will have serious, perhaps fatal, consequences because there will be too much fluid for the heart to pump.arrow_forwardCELL COLOR REACTION IN FUNCTION WRIGHT'S STAIN RED BLOOD CELL NEUTROPHIL NUCLEUS: CYTOPLASM/GRANULES: EOSINOPHIL NUCLEUS: CYTOPLASM/GRANULES: BASOPHIL NUCLEUS: CYTOPLASM/GRANULES: LYMPHOCYTE NUCLEUS: CYTOPLASM/GRANULES: MONOCYTE NUCLEUS: CYTOPLASM/GRANULES: PLATELET CYTOPLASM/GRANULES:arrow_forwardAs cells grow and regenerate, what mechanism does the body use to get rid of the continuously dying cells?
