a) Describe the chemical structure of human haemoglobin (including diagram) b) Over the hundred variant of haemoglobin (caused by genetics mutation) have been describe to date, select one variant found in human (e.g Hb s) discuss the prognosis of named disorder
The major purpose of moving a fluid in the body is provide a mass transportation over a distance where diffusion is inadequate or too slow.(Knut Schmidt-Nielsen, 1997, 5th edition), in term of but the transportation of oxygen and carbon dioxide by diffusion in human is insufficient, this distribution is enabled by a movement of fluid called blood,
In effect human body use one molecule found in the red blood cell called haemoglobin, on the other hand the haemoglobin can be define as a molecule found in the red blood cell which deliver or transport oxygen to the rest of body muscles and tissues.
In this our essay we are going to describe the chemical structure which form the human haemoglobin, so what is really a haemoglobin?
Scientist have conclude that name haemoglobin is a combination of two names Hem and Globins , they continue to define that hem is iron compounded and contain a rise structure while Globin is a red protein the technical abriviation of the haemoglobin is Hb or Hgb, while this protein molecule remain so essential for the human survival tissues it has been proven by scientists that it drawn the oxygen from the lung and transport to different part of body , this has been made possible circulatory system which use three majors organs in the name of Heart, Blood, and Blood Vessel.
According to Cecie Starr and Ralph Taggart (1989) firstly they define the Blood is a fluid as ‘ a fluid connective tissue composed of water, diverse solute, and formed elements. Secondly the Heart as a muscular pump that generates the pressure needed to keep blood flowing throughout the body. Thirdly the Blood vessel as tubes of varying diameter through which
