Red Cloud's War

disease. This lab is also important because it shows the importance of knowing the blood type of a person so that the person will not receive the wrong type of blood. Blood type O is the universal donor because it has no A or B antigens on the surface of red blood cell. AB is the universal recipient because it has A and B antigens, which means that there aren’t any reactive antibodies in the plasma that will fight against the antigens. Negative can give to positive but positive cannot give to…

Compared to the Romantics, Puritans had no connection between their writing and the reader. An abundance of examples can easily be found throughout Irving’s The Devil and Tom Walker, Bonet’s The Devil and Daniel Webster, and Poe’s The Masque of the Red Death. Each of these stories was written to humanize the writing so the readers could connect to it easier.

Acromegaly can cause unusual growth in the long bones called “gigantism”, however, when the bone growth stops it is called acromegaly. Diagnosing the disease is…

One important allele is the S beta chain responsible for sickle cell anemia, it differs in one amino acid from a normal beta-chain. At the beta gene locus, two possible alleles have two base sequences A = normal beta-chain and S = sickle-cell beta chain. Sickle cell anemia is due to abnormality of hemoglobin, a (protein carrying oxygen to the tissues). “Anemia is a decrease in RBCs; or hemoglobin; or ability to carry oxygen. Hemoglobin S (allele HbS) causes Sickle Cell Anemia, without…

Sickle Cell Disease is a collection of inherited disorders in which the red blood cells lack hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is an essential protein to the body that assists in the color of the blood cells, as well as allowing oxygen to be carried all over the body (What is Sickle Cell Disease 2016). Sickle Cell Disease first arose in West Africa, affecting hundreds of people. The disease was thought to only affect the people of that area, but it quickly became a widespread disease. Ten to thirty percent…

Lymph capillaries are thin-walled, blind- ending vessels in between cells of body tissue. These collect tissue fluid that has been forced out of blood capillaries and has not returned to them. They are drainage vessels and their walls are made of a single layer overlapping endothelial cells which makes them permeable. Filaments anchor the endothelial cells to surrounding structures so when the tissue swell with fluid the endothelial cells of the lymph capillary wall are slightly pulled apart.…

More than three million people in the U.S. have anemia, with women and people with chronic diseases being at greater risk of developing anemia. Biomedical sciences have been moving into an interesting developmental phase and with the passing of Obama Care medical practices have also been going through stages of increasing uncertainty as the U.S. has not been able to resolve the challenges associated with the increased cost of healthcare linked to scientific developments, public anticipation,…
