minute of every day‚ someone needs blood. That blood can only come from a volunteer donor‚ a person like oneself who makes the choice to donate. When one makes a blood donation‚ they are joining a very select group. Currently only three out of every one hundred people in America donate blood.

The American Red Cross blood donor embodies this principle

Gladys Martin July 2005 Indications for Blood Transfusions Goal of transfusing: Preserve oxygen delivery to tissues and avoid myocardial ischemia. One can do this by increasing the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood by raising the Hgb concentration of patients with acute/chronic anemia. Each unit will raise the Hct by 3 to 4 percent unless there is continued bleeding. Background: Transfusion trigger based on the 10/30 rule‚ give 2 units. However‚ with the discovery of transfusion-related HIV and

TASK 3 COMPONENTS OF BLOOD AND TRANSPORT OF OXYGEN Blood components are red cells‚ white cells‚ platelets and plasma. These can be put to different uses. RED BLOOD CELLS Red blood cell also known as erythrocytes make up 45% of blood volume lacks nucleus and contains the oxygen-carrying protein haemoglobin‚ which is a pigment that gives whole blood its red colour. Erythrocytes are produced inside of red bone marrow. Its main function is to distribute oxygen to body tissue‚ and carry waste

a.1 Eukaryotic Cell vs Prokaryotic Cell All cells can be classfied into prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Prokaryotes were the only form of life on Earth for millions of years until more complicated eukaryotic cells came into being through the process of evolution.

Cells are considered the basic units of life in part because they come in discrete and easily recognizable packages. That’s because all cells are surrounded by a structure called the cell membrane. The cell is the very smallest unit of living matter. All living things including plants and animals are made up of cells. Cells are made of atoms‚ which are the smallest units of matter. There are many different kinds of cells. The two kinds you are most likely to be familiar with are animal and plant

Stem cells are unique because they have the ability to generate new cells of any kind during early life and growth. There are about 200 different types of cells in the body; such as muscle‚ skin and brain cells. Most of these cells have to be repaired or replaced once in a while. For example our taste buds are replaced every 10 days‚ skin cells every couple of weeks and liver cells every 300-500 days. Stem cells serve as an internal repair system dividing essentially without limit to replenish

1. Blood type “O” is very important for the people that are in need for extra blood. Say if someone got into an accident and lost extremely amount of blood‚ the surgeons will have to use type “O” blood to give them the amount of blood needed. It can be transfused to a patient with any blood type. Blood banks being low on type “O” is a huge problem in today’s society; without type “O” blood injured people wouldn’t be able to make it. Blood donors are encouraged to donate blood to hospitals and different
