Anemia is a disorder of the blood. It occurs when your body does not produce enough erythrocytes or red blood cells (RBCs). Without the erythrocytes oxygen can not be adequately delivered to the tissues and organs throughout the body. This will cause you to become weak and tired. A person may also experience headaches‚ skin pallor‚ and faintness. Your body may attempt to compensate for these symptoms by speeding up the heart rate and respiratory rate. This is the body’s attempt to return oxygen

When someone is anemic‚ it means that their body does not produce and have enough healthy red blood cells‚ which then results in the lack of oxygen provided to body tissues. Pernicious anemia occurs when the intestines cannot absorb the vitamin B12‚ resulting in a decrease of red blood cells. Pernicious anemia is different than regular anemia‚ and many other types of anemia‚ such as the signs and symptoms in the body and oral cavity‚ relation to diet and nutrition‚ and cures and medical treatment

Carbon Monoxide One of the main functions of the respiratory system is to provide the body with oxygen so that it can be delivered to vital cells that require oxygen to function. Oxygen is carried in red blood cells by reaction with a substance called haemoglobin to form oxyhaemoglobin. However‚ haemoglobin

The plasma or cell membrane exhibits ability for the cell to discriminate in its chemical exchanges with its environment and this makes cell membrane fundamental to life. This property can only be possible because of the cell membrane’s selective permeability (Campbell and Reece‚ 2002). The structure of the membrane can be best illustrated by the fluid mosaic model where the membrane is said to be a fluid structure with various proteins embedded in or attached to a bilayer of phospholipids (Campbell

passed down through the genes. Sickle Cell Anaemia Disease An example of a genetic disorder is Sickle Cell Anaemia; What is it? Sickle cell anemia is a disease where your body produces abnormally shaped red blood cells. The cells are shaped like a crescent or sickle used to cut wheat. As the sickle cell blood cells don’t last as long as normal round red blood cells this then leads to anemia. The sickle cells can also get stuck in blood vessels‚ blocking blood flow and are unable to get oxygen around

Abstract Rhesus typing is an important clinical technique which involves finding out whether some ones blood is RhD+ve or RhD-ve‚ it is important to find this out as it can have serious health complications if blood that is un compatible is mixed‚ either during pregnancy or transfusions. This experiment involved using the techniques of PCR to amplify the DNA collected‚ using electrophoresis to separate the DNA and using markers and positive controls of known size to determine the size of fragments

Rhesus Factor Blood Type –RCC Norco Purpose of the Research My final project was set out to gather information about blood group types of my Anatomy and Physiology 2B class mates and used statistical analysis tools learnt in class to determine if there are any trends of statistical importance. The data was collected from the results of blood group or type test that my entire classmate in the Anatomy and Physiology 2B class performed as part of our laboratory work. Samples of blood were tested for

Laboratory Report The Plasma Membrane I. Introduction The Plasma membrane is the edge of life‚ the boundary that separates the cell from its surroundings. It controls the traffic of materials in and out of the cell. (Reece‚ 2011). It is incredibly thin that is very vital in maintaining the integrity of the cell. Not only does the plasma membrane bind the other organelles‚ it also forms a dynamic structure which gives them their remarkable activity and selectivity. (Hickman‚ 2008). Diffusion
