White blood cell

disease has been transported to humans, it begins to grow and multiply in the liver cells then moving to the red blood cells. Once in the blood the parasites reproduce inside the red blood cells, ultimately destroying them. By doing this the daughter parasites which are called, merozoites, are released where they continue the cycle of invasion and destruction of the red blood cells. It is during the infection of the blood stage that causes the actual symptoms of malaria. It takes about 10 to 18…

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…

Have you ever heard of the rare disease called tetanus. In fact most people don’t know what it is but it’s an infectious disease that contains bacterium clostridium tetani which is a bacteria that enters the human body from either a cut or a puncture.tetanus is usually found in soil,dust, and manure.this disease was founded in 1884 when 2 scientist named carl and ratlone injected animals with pus from a human body containing tetanus,but in 1889 a scientist named nocolaier found out that tetani…

1. The primary research objective is to understand how the accumulation of parasites increases the age infection of the cricket population. The research is designed to use an age curve to quantify the infectious crickets removed from the population. 2. (a) Figure 1a: In experiment 2, the mean jump for the uninfected cricket was about 33 while the mean jump for the infected cricket was about 16. In experiment 3, the mean jump for the uninfected cricket was about 23 while the mean jump for the…

NADPH generation in response to oxidative stress but not in G6PD deficient patients. G6PD deficiency leads to failure in protecting against the oxidative stress which induces damage in haemoglobin and RBC membrane, resulting in haemolysis.14, 47 Cells from other tissues or organs have alternative pathways for the NADPH production and can protect themselves against the oxidative stress. However, because of metabolic…

worm, What does your worm look like? The Wuchereria bancrofti curls like an s at both ends . The female is longer and curls up at the end while male is shorter and also curls. What is the worms life cycle? A mosquito transfer larvae of the worm into blood stream of human while inside the human the worm grows into adulthood and then the worm lays eggs for the mosquito to pick the eggs up were the eggs turn into larvae and the cycle continues. What type of climate does the worm live in? The…

Arterial diameter, diffusion distance, and proportion of wrapping were manually measured for vessel pairs that were matched in both the light micrographs and micro-CT images in a blinded manner. Artery-vein pairs were identified, matched in both micro-CT and light microscopy images, and then labelled. Measurements were first made for the artery-vein pairs in the light micrographs. Then, measurements were made for the artery-vein pairs in the micro-CT images. A total of 25 vessel pairs were…

Anemia in SCD patients can be caused by problems with the spleen known as splenic sequestration crisis and aplastic crisis. In splenic sequestration crisis the red blood cells become stuck in the spleen making it enlarge rapidly. Because these cells are trapped, there are fewer cells to circulate through the blood, resulting in anemia. Aplastic crisis occurs when a common infection known as Parvovirus B19 is caught. Parvovirus is a common infection in childhood also known as fifths disease, a…

1. Blood doping is performed by athletes to increase their body’s ability “to transport more oxygen to muscles and therefore increase stamina and performance”. According to the WADA, there are three highly practiced methods that athletes use: “blood transfusions, EPO, and synthetic oxygen carriers”. (https://www.wada-ama.org/en/questions-answers/blood-doping) EPO (erythropoietin) is naturally produced by the body and can also be administered via injection. Its primary function is to promote red…

condition in which an individual does not have enough healthy red blood cells in the body. Red blood cells usually last approximately 120 days in the body. In hemolytic anemia, red blood cells in the blood are destroyed earlier than expected. The spleen traps and destroys healthy red blood cells. Hemolytic anemia occurs when the bone marrow is unable to replace the red blood cells that are destroyed. It can also come from red blood cell destruction due to: infection, tumors, autoimmune…
