Noncommunicable diseases are diseases that cannot be transmitted by another person, a vector, or the environment. As a result, noncommuncable diseases are non-infectious and non-transmittable among persons. An example of a noncummunicable disease includes cancer, a disease in which there is an uncontrollable growth of abnormal cells that destroy body tissue. For a cancer to occur, a buildup of abnormal cells will form a tumor, which will travel to neighboring tissues throughout the body and…

the erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells, and platelets (Marieb, E. N., Mitchell, S. J., & Smith,…

Case study Amber W. Hendrix MMTC Author Note Case Study for RT 242 Respiratory Therapy Clinical II Peritoneal Tuberculosis I never got to speak directly to my case study. She was intubated when I first became aware of her case and she failed all attempts at weaning from the vent before she died. There was regrettably also a language barrier with the majority of her family as they spoke Haitian Creole which has roots in Portuguese, Spanish, Taino, and West African languages, which left me limited…

Sickle cells pallor is a hereditary issue which causes the declaration of deficient hemoglobin coming about unpredictably formed red platelet, know as “sickle cells”. these sickle cells cause issues in the body frequently blocking blood stream and creating difficult assaults and here and there stroke. Sickle cells have distinctive organic chemistry than typical red platelets and are controlled by numerous free radical procedures. This paper will audit the infection state and examine a few…

activation of platelet aggregation and consequently, allowing the combination of S. aureus and platelets to occur (Vanassche et al. 2012). Decreasing staphylothrombin will impact the Staphylococcus aureus, which ultimately, inhibits the amount of platelets being activated (Vanassche et al. 2012). Fibrin clots protect cells from phagocytosis, and as a result, they will persist and cause staph infections (Cheng et al. 2010). All clinical isolates of S. aureus are known to be…

pulsatile flow, rigid vs. distensible tubes, Newtonian fluid vs. blood. Antiplatelets are a group of medicines that stop blood cells (platelets) from sticking together and forming a blood clot. Whenever there is an injury in your body, platelets are sent to the site of the injury, where they form a blood clot. This is a very important mechanism in the body to stop the bleeding. Prevents formation of blood clots, for example in the carotid…

chances as we do. Let us take the United States as example. Every two seconds, there is one person in the United states who are in need of blood. Every single day, approximately thirty-six thousand units of blood, nearly seven thousand units of platelets and ten thousand units of plasma are needed in the United…

a) The stimulus is the human tissue that is torn or cut. The signal is the cells near the damaged area send an alert that activates platelets in the vicinity.The response is the plug formed by platelets used to stop the bleeding. This is an example of negative feedback, because the plug is used to decrease the bleeding. b) The stimulus is a person not drinking enough water resulting in dehydration. The response…

enters the blood stream, the organelles contained begin to degenerate and is then considered a mature erythrocyte. Thrombopoiesis produces the platelets and begins with a myeloid stem cell, which produces the progenitor cell when stimulated and becomes a megakaryoblast. The megakaryoblast responds to the hormone thrombopoietin and forms a megakaryocyte. The platelets are formed when small, membrane bound portions of cytoplasm break away. Leukopoiesis is the formation of white blood cells. The…

In contrast to thrombocytopenia, thrombophilia is where there are too many platelets in the blood meaning blood has an increased tendency to form clots. Blood clots are known as venous thromboses and they come in many forms linked with different parts of the body. For example, the most common form of blood clots is within the leg veins and this is known as deep vein thrombosis (DTV). The blood clotting process is a simple process in comparison to some of the bodily functions. When a cut to the…
