identify changes (if any) in the blood pressure in the following heart attack (myocardial infraction) damage to an area of heart muscle that is deprived of oxygen, usually due to blockage of a diseased coronary artery, typically accompanied by chest pain radiating down one or both arms, the severity of the attack varying with the extent and location of the damage (dictionary.com). High blood pressure is what happens when you have a heart attack. Because of stress yo9ur blood pressure will go up, you may

issue of blood clotting is a unique area of study. Blood clotting is also known as blood coagulation and it has two definitions which vary because of its occurrences. Blood clotting is first defined as natural sealing of an injured part of the body by blood for the purpose of preventing blood loss. The second meaning of blood is concentration of blood in one part of the body like in lungs or veins. Many researchers and physician concentrate more on veins clotting (inner clotting) of blood because

Blood Transfusions Blood transfusions are a lifesaving method that are becoming more and more common. Aaron Dunnagan is perfect example of how they are lifesaving. Two years ago when he was 34 years old, Aaron experienced one of the most rare blood disorders called Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP). TTP is when you have blood clots that from in your blood vessels therefore causing lack of oxygen to get to your organs (Dunnagan). What’s frightening about TTP is that you are not born with

Discussion The outcome of the blood samples reacting to the serums was supportive of the hypothesis. Each unknown blood sample was exposed to anti-A, anti-B and anti-Rh serum. It was predicted that depending on which serum the blood sample reacted to that a specific blood type could be deduced. The agglutination of the red blood cell occurs due to the matching antigens and antibodies reacting to each other. The serums contain their respective antibodies (anti-A antibodies, anti-B antibodies, anti-Rh

interest me is blood splatter/stains. Blood splatter/stains can tell a story, even if there isn't any other evidence to prove a case the splatter will. According to Criminal Justice Online; A blood splatter analyst works on crime scenes. He or she, like any other forensic scientist, uses the tools that they command to determine facts about how a crime was committed and any other details that law enforcement might find useful to solve a crime or gain a conviction. From the way blood was spilled

18,2015 What is the effect of different impacts on blood stains? The purpose of this project is to determine the effect of different impacts of blood on the stains that they leave. I chose to conduct this experiment as an extension of a previous experiment which only dealt with the amount of blood splatter within a given height. I also decided to continue this project because I would like to become more knowledgeable about the job of Blood Spatter Analysts, and its extreme importance in forensics

bloodstain is distinctive in its size and shape, which are dependant upon several factors like velocity, location, and angle of impact. This experiment was designed to research the effect of impact angle of a low velocity blood spatter on these characteristics. For this experiment, a drop of blood was dropped from the height of 1 meter onto a small piece of cardboard. The angle of the cardboard to the ground was changed to manipulate the impact angle. A total of 5 different impact angles, 75°, 60°, 45°, 30°

Every three minutes, someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer, and every ten minutes someone dies of the disease. (Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, 2014). Blood cancers cause the function, normal development, and production, of blood cells to be interrupted, as they grow uncontrollably. (American Society of Hematology, n.d.). The disease starts in the bone marrow, where cancerous white blood cells prevent the body from fighting off infections and stopping serious bleeding. (American Society of Hematology

Running Head: Blood Splatter Analysis Blood Spatter Analysis Kenisha Callahan AJS 592 Dr. Steven Gilbert Blood Spatter Analysis Blood spatter analysis is “the systematic assessment of the visual patterns of bloodstains at crime scenes based on the physics of fluids” (Brodbeck, 2012, p. 51). It has been studied since 1895 when Dr. Eduard Piotrowski published "Concerning the Origin, Shape

High blood pressure (hypertension) has appeared in multiple people in my family. This disease means that that the force of the blood acting on the walls of the arteries is higher than normal. Overtime, this condition may damage the artery walls, and if an enlargement called aneurysm would form, the wall could burst, causing the blood to travel around the surrounding tissue. If a tear forms inside an artery wall, substances like fat, calcium and cholesterol would go inside it, forming a buildup called
