Hemoglobin in the blood carries oxygen from the lungs to other tissues‚ the lack of oxygen in the organs is known as hypoxia. All cells in the body are dependent on oxygen to survive making it crucial and important for the body to carry its oxygen to the organs. Gastrointestinal tract bleeding is the most common cause for blood loss that develops iron deficiency anemia. Iron deficiency anemia affects the circulatory system due to the lack of hemoglobin or iron in the blood making

principal means of delivering oxygen (O2) to the body tissues via the blood flow through thecirculatory system. They take up oxygen in the lungs or gills and release it while squeezing through the body’scapillaries. These cells’ cytoplasm is rich in hemoglobin‚ an iron-containing biomolecule that can bind oxygen and is responsible for the blood’s red color. In humans‚ mature red blood cells are flexible biconcave disks that lack a cell nucleus and most organelles. 2.4 million new erythrocytes are produced

Abstract This paper will contain some important and main information about humans’ circulatory system. One of the most important systems our body has if not THE most important since one of its organs is the heart. We will focus on senior citizens. As we age‚ our organs’ working mechanism becomes slower and our muscles tend to be less flexible or elastic and that is why we think the information we will provide‚ will be very useful. Some of the talking points will be: • General function of the

Medical Issues- Stem Cells Click on The Nature of Stem Cells to answer the following questions. 1.) Compare a stem cell and a specialized cell. Specialized cells carry out specific functions. These specialized cells are called differentiated cells. On the other hand‚ a stem cell is undifferentiated. Its role in the body is not yet determined. A stem cell can give rise to multiple cell types‚ including many stem cells. 2.) Describe a blastocyst. The blastocyst looks like a lopsided hollow ball

only permit the level of Carbon to be at the maximum 50ppm (parts per million) in an enclosed area.8 Yet the CO levels in cigarette smoke can reach up to 40‚000ppm.9 That s way over the limit. The Carbon binds with the Hemoglobin in the blood stream. When that happens the Hemoglobin won t allow the red blood cells to carry and transport oxygen throughout the human body. Nicotine is a colorless‚ odorless oily substance that occurs naturally in nature. It is the chemical in the cigarette that makes

Specificity of Protein-Ligand Binding 1). One can conclude that Orange G. has the lowest affinity for the albumin. In the experiment the concentration of Orange G that binds to protein was a lot less than either Ponceau S. or Bromophenol blue. The ligand with the highest affinity to BSA was a little more difficult to decipher. The experiment shows that all of the 2 µL of both Ponceau S. and Bromophenol blue bind to the BSA. However‚ when 5 µL of the ligand is added the BSA is saturated and cannot

The main categories that were of priority focus were: hemoglobin A1C‚ blood pressure‚ body mass index and waist circumference. Hemoglobin A1C lab values exposes the numbers relating to diabetes. Lab values of Hba1c are 5.6 and below are normal lab values‚ 5.7-6.4 are prediabetes‚ 6.5 or greater means the individual has diabetes. 13Diabetes mellitus

Hemoglobin is an oxygen-binding pigment that is responsible for the transport of most of the oxygen in the blood. b. Hemoglobin is made up of the protein globin bound to the red heme pigment. 2.
