Blood

Hemorrhage (bleeding): Blood leaking out of blood vessels may be obvious, as from a wound penetrating the skin. Internal bleeding (such as into the intestines, or after a car accident) may not be immediately apparent. Hematoma: A collection of blood inside the body tissues. Internal bleeding often causes a hematoma. Leukemia: A form of blood cancer, in which white blood cells multiply abnormally and circulate through the blood. The excessive large numbers of white cells deposit in the body's tissues

Anemia is a blood disorder where patients do not receive sufficient oxygen due to an insufficient amount of red blood cells. It is considered the most common blood disorder. Anemia often a byproduct of other diseases/conditions has the ability to disrupt the body's ability to produce healthy red blood cells. Red blood cells (RBCs) are one of three types of blood cells that are produced in bone marrow from a process called hematopoiesis. Red Blood cells are important for are our body; they use hemoglobin

The blood pressure of the heavy set individual would be at an increase because of the clogging of the arteries by the plaque. The plaque would cause the veins in the body to have less volume for the blood to flow, and if the same amount of blood is to be pumping through the heavy set individual, the pressure would increase. After the heart attack, with the heart not as strong as it was previously, the blood pressure would be lower if the heart were able to pump blood at all. The heart would not be

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a multifunctional interface separating the bloodstream from the brain interior. This barrier is crucial for maintaining brain homeostasis and allowing proper neuronal function, as well as for protecting the CNS from potentially harmful agents in the blood. The onset of BBB properties takes place during embryonic development as a microenvironment of neural stem cells, pericytes, and neurons provide developmental cues for induction of tight junctions and regulation

The previous table presents the results my laboratory group and I recorder from the blood analysis. For sample 1, the synthetic blood only agglutination was observed when exposed to antibodies A. For sample 2, the synthetic blood agglutination was observed when exposed to antibodies A and Rh factor. For sample 3, the synthetic blood agglutination was observed only when exposed to Rh antibodies. The previous table presented the data our lab group collected. The cranial breadth is 13.2 cm, the cranial

Sepsis occurs when large numbers of infectious agents exist in the blood to cause blood poisoning. Infections with fungi and parasites may lead to sepsis as well. The initial infection often comes from a burn ulcer or other open wound. Bacteria can also enter the blood stream directly from an outside source. Small amounts of bacteria enter into blood with dental work or when brushing your teeth. There is no specific laboratory test for early diagnosis of septicemia. Such other body fluids

conditions can cause elevated RBC count; a condition called Polycythemia. The elevation in the production of red blood cell is a consequence of renal failure that affects the kidney. This results in the kidney producing a enythrogenin into the blood stream. This produces erythropoietinogen; a plasma protein reaction which produces erythropoietin. This activates the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells. Hypoxia can seriously defect the brains respiratory region. Any sort of loss of oxygen to any area

Dissemination of information plays a pivotal role in health promotion, thus preventing diseases, such as high blood pressure. High blood pressure or hypertension is a major risk factor for coronary artery ischemia and stroke. Approximately more than 2 million Americans every year are being affected by the heart attacks and strokes, causing a debilitating outcome (Be in a Million Hearts,” n.d.). With this being said, prevention and treatment of hypertension are a challenge encountered by all medical

The floor was stained with blood. A ragged, tri-colored wool mat sat upon it. The boards would creak even if a small mouse were to crawl across it. Underneath the blood stained floor boards was an old cellar. Inside the cellar there was a small table, hundreds of bushels of apples, and an old wooden chair. In the most internal part of the chair there was a teen girl named, Libitina. Her arms were tied around the back of the chair, her legs tied to the bottoms of the chair. There was a gauze in her

Introduction: Blood pH is between 7.35 to 7.45. This range is strict, and those who have blood with a pH outside of the range are in danger of illness and death. In order for blood to maintain its pH within a one-tenth range, it uses a bicarbonate buffering system. The buffer resists pH change. Materials and Methods: For this lab, we titrated HCl into Na2CO3 while keeping a pH probe in the solution throughout the process. We used LoggerPro to track the pH changes for 300 seconds, and then repeated
