Patient Y’s CBC and differential was within the normal limits‚ besides her hemoglobin‚ which was 11.4 g/dL. Since her hemoglobin was a little low routine blood work will be drawn the day after her delivery to recheck her hemoglobin and to make sure she did not lose too much blood. Her blood type was confirmed to be O negative. While in the labor room‚ Patient Y was placed on a fetal heart monitor and

climbers have to carry oxygen in a tank to help them breath. Hemoglobin is a components of red blood cells which is composed of “heme” protein. This protein helps transport the oxygen throughout the body. Hemoglobin is the reactant responsible for the equilibrium of the respiratory system. At high altitude the hemoglobin equilibrium becomes disrupted. An excessive amount of time spent in high or too low altitude impacts the hemoglobin equilibrium. Each time the altitude is increased the oxygen level

SCD also known as sickle cell disease affects the blood and cardiovascular system. There are six different types of SCD. The following discussion will include cause‚ symptoms‚ diagnosis‚ treatment and prevention. The proper education on this disease will give patients and the public a better knowledge of the common unfamiliarity with SCD. The cardiovascular system consists of the heart‚ arteries‚ capillaries‚ veins‚ and blood. The organs in the cardiovascular system are a vital part of the human

1998‚ Biopure faced the monumental decision of whether to begin selling Oxyglobin‚ a blood substitute‚ to the veterinary market or to wait until Hemoglobin‚ a blood substitute for the human market‚ became available for sale. The problem is whether or not the company should launch Oxyglobin before Hemoglobin is FDA-approved or wait until after Hemoglobin is approved and released into the human market. I would recommend that they release Oxyglobin immediately rather than wait for Hemoglobin’s FDA-approval

Alexandria Agee Ms. Songer AP Biology February 16 2015 Sickle Cell Anemia: Case Study Summary Sickle Cell Anemia is a painful diseases that is caused by a mutation in the protein called hemoglobin which helps carry oxygen in red blood cells. Because of the mutation‚ the hemoglobin is shaped oddly which results in pain because it is hard for the blood to travel throughout the body and anemia because of the lack of oxygen in the blood. A person can only have this disease if both parents are carriers

The Cardiovascular System The heart is one the primary organs in our body. The cardiovascular (CV) system is made up of the heart‚ the blood and the vessels through which blood travels. The CV system works in sequence with the respiratory system to maintain homeostasis. The heart acts as a pump which move the blood through the blood vessels to the tissues and organs of the body. This allows the CV system to help maintain homeostasis by enabling it to carry out its four major functions

The hematocrits of the Denver residents will be lower than those of the Boston residents. Stop & Think Questions: Why would the hemoglobin levels of an anemic patient be lower than the hemoglobin levels of a normal‚ healthy individual? You correctly answered: c. Because hemoglobin resides in RBCs‚ you would anticipate a low hematocrit level to coincide with a low hemoglobin level.
