Human blood group systems

because of the class system based on some kind of race. Jefferson M. Fish scrutinizes this idea of race in his article Mixed Blood. Race as a myth and the cultural descriptions of it are discussed by Fish. As human beings, we tend to classify things into groups. This…

causes of a huge number of diseases in humans. Such as, small pox, a common cold, chicken pox, influenza, shingles, herpes, polio, rabies, and AIDS. These are only some of the viral infections. In some cases, cancer may up rise from the virus, but it is not very common. (Emiliani, C. 1993) Introduction Human immunodeficiency virus, HIV, is one the world’s most fatal illnesses. (Regents of the University of California) It is a virus in which attacks the Immune system, also known…

have found that most Americans have a chemical in their body called perfluorinated chemicals. This type of chemical is classified as an endocrine disruptor, also known as a chemical that interferes with a human body and their endocrine systems. These disruptors can be very dangerous to the human body and can cause many problems to occur. Perfluorinated chemicals are used to make everyday products more resistant to stains, grease and water. These chemicals do not break down in the environment,…

Blood transfusion is a surgical method used to transport blood to a patient’s circulation intravenously. It is used when a patient is suffering from severe blood loss; it can be from an accident or an operation done. Under most circumstances, anyone who is suffering from a deficiency of producing blood, bleeding disorders like thrombocytopenia or haemophilia or an illness that inflicts anemia; such as kidney disease or cancer would most certainly have to undergo blood transfusion due to the risk…

Introduction: The heart rate of an animal can be used as an indicator to identify when a stimulus evokes a reaction from the animal. Specifically in the case of humans’, there tends to be the cognitive ability to physically withhold a reaction from a stimulus and mask the involuntary reaction. However, the heart rate reacts immediately after a stimulus, and is not reigned in or controlled cognitively, so could the heart potentially be a true indicator of an individuals reaction to a stimulus?…

virus is not more susceptible to one group of people than it is to another. It affects everyone the same. From America, to Africa, to Spain, the Ebola virus causes the same devastation and pain to everyone (Fox 2014). There is no mutation a group of people possess that makes them immune to the disease. That being said, even though people are affected the same by the virus, it is more prone to certain places in the world.Countries with poor health care systems are more likely to…

sepsis had doubled in patients with the disease. (Christaki) Septic shock refers when the body has a very low blood pressure and it is found most common in young children or older adults. Septic shock has been found to be the most common cause of death in intensive care unit (ICU). (Septic Shock)…

past few weeks our group has been conducting an experiment on homeostasis and how it effects the body in different situations. Homeostasis refers to the body's ability to physiologically regulate its inner environment to ensure its stability in response to fluctuations in the outside environment and the weather; an inability to maintain homeostasis may lead to death or a disease, a condition known as homeostatic imbalance (Saylor.org). Homeostasis plays a huge role in humans and how their…

The human microbiome project The Human microbiome project was the first step into research about bacteria that is present in the human body, and the association with disease. The project was launched in 2007 and was set out to be a five year program. It was funded by the United States National Institute of Health (NIH) however it involved many specialist from many countries worldwide, the original funding was around $115 million. The main purpose of the project was to analyse “how changes in…

experiment was to investigate the internal changes of the human body of subjects by age. This science fair project was performed to evaluate the relationship between the age of a person and its effects. The movie called Don’t Breathe was viewed to assist in elevating the heart rate due to the suspense experienced in the film. This experiment involved performing two types of evaluations on the participants- observing heart rate and blood pressure. Ten people were tested in all. The idea is…
