It may be due to anemia‚ bleeding‚ destruction of red blood cells‚ leukemia‚ malnutrition‚ low iron‚ folate‚ vitamin B12 and vitamin B6 or overhydration. A bacterial infection causes white blood cells to increase‚ since they are the cells that attack and destroy the bacteria. As the white blood cells increase‚ red blood

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

Bone marrow is a spongy substance inside our bones where our body synthesizes and stocks blood cells. While it’s damaged‚ it makes very little blood cells and in-sufficient cells for our immune system. A transplant replaces impaired bone marrow with healthy marrow cells. It can preserve certain diseases or some forms of cancer. It also conveys a long recovery process and a risk of severe side effects. If you or any member of your family is thinking about having one‚ you should know about all the

Introduction There are many ways cells dispose of toxic molecules in order to maintain the necessary internal environmental conditions to survive. These toxic molecules are known as free radicals that contain an unpaired electron on the outer orbit (Proljsak et al.2013). Some examples of free radicals that can be found in the cell are superoxide (O2-)‚ hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and even reactive metals like copper and iron. These free radicals are produced based on the environment the individuals
