Red blood cell

The bronchi inter cell tissue is lined with mucus and cilia which continue to filter the inhaled air and get rid of any leftover environmental contaminants. The walls of the bronchi are lined with muscle tissue which can control the flow of air going into the lungs, such as during physical activity, the muscles relaxa and allow more air to go into the…

protozoa in its attachment of the red blood cells (2). MSP-7, MSP-3, MSP-1, and other proteins have been identified, however, there function is not fully known. It is believed that they assist in parasite survival within the host (2). MSP-1 help in binding parasite to the surface band of red blood cells with (2). With initial infection, the parasite moves to the liver which is packed with red blood cells in order to replicate quickly (2). The feeding of red blood cells will lead to it…

inflammatory. Collectively, both cell types are related to Harold’s chronic atrophic gastritis. This is the reason for Harold’s elevation change in his White blood cell count. This Inflammatory condition is affiliated with Harold’s symptoms which include: indigestion, biliousness, and heartburns. Greene 2 Harold is also experiencing addition symptoms and signs of becoming ineptly oxygenated: difficulty breathing, exhaustion, vertigo, and headaches. The low Red blood cells, hematocrit, and…

a real cell in our body. The egg in this lab can represent a red blood cell. When cells such as red blood cells are placed in pure water, water enters them through osmosis and they swell up. If this continues for a long period of time, they have a great chance of bursting. On the other hand, when cells are placed in a lower concentrated solution, water leaves them through osmosis and they are unable to function (BBC). For example, since saltwater from the ocean is hypertonic to the cells of the…

altitude (>500 to 2000m), moderate altitude (>2000 to 3000m), high altitude (>3000 to 5500m), and extreme altitude (>5500m) (Gore). What high altitude training essentially does, is increase the volume of red blood cells in the body. Basically,…

stiff joints in the summer while playing golf. Lab results show a low hemoglobin of 8g/dl, hematocrit of 32%, and a erythrocyte count of 3.1 x 10/mm. The reticulocyte count of 1.5% is at the high end of normal and the red blood cell (RBC) smear shows microcytic and hypochromic cells. Based on the circumstances, history, and lab results Ms. A is demonstrating signs and symptoms of iron deficiency anemia (Copstead-Kirkhorn & Banasik, 2014).…

many years. Blood doping is banned from any type of sports, it increases the performance of athletes in the sport industry. Drug(s) such as EPO and Blood doping enables the athletes to have extra oxygen to work harder. Not only are there health risks involved with blood doping but athletes getting caught can lose their reputation. The media has such an impact of why the athlete was achieving in their sports. The sport industry should be taking in a harder stance on offenders because blood doping…

Introduction Jaundice is a yellowish discoloration of the skin, whites of the eyes, and mucous membranes. It is caused by increased levels of bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin is produced by the normal breakdown of red blood cells. In the newborn period, red blood cells break down rapidly, but the liver is not ready to process the extra bilirubin efficiently. The liver may take 1–2 weeks to develop completely. Jaundice usually lasts for about 2–3 weeks in babies who are breastfed. Jaundice…

leukocytosis as his White blood cell (WBC) count is increased (16.5×10^9/L) as shown in the Complete Blood Count results. This raises the intuition of blunt trauma and it is also an initial marker of injury along with physical exam. Leukocytosis in trauma is however due to neutrophilia as seen in this patient having a high neutrophil count. Increased in neutrophils can be best explained by neutrophil margination. This event of leukocytosis only last a short period of time. Also, Red blood cell…
