Question: Describe the path taken by a red blood cell as it passes from the left atrium to the cells in the cell kidneys and back to the left atrium Answer: The red blood cells enter through the right atrium and there the blood color is blue. Next‚ it goes through the right ventricles‚ and then to the pulmonary artery. After goes through those valves‚ it then goes through the lungs‚ and the lungs turn the blood into red‚ thus stating that it contains oxygen. Pass the lungs‚ and then into the pulmonary

Each year alone about 150‚000 people in America die from a stroke or are seriously disabled. Stroke is among the top five causes of death. It generally happens very suddenly and it can take up to five to seven days to completely effect the patient. Depending on how many of the brain cells die during the stroke

Comparison Blood consists of an ample quantity of cells that fulfill different functions including oxygen transportation to the lungs and tissues‚ antibody formation‚ protecting body from infection and the other important missions. The life cycle of all cells has similar display‚ to a certain degree. However‚ the range of differences between cells remains more obvious. It can be obvious through the example of two kinds of cells: Red Blood Corpuscles (RBC) and White Blood Corpuscles (WBC)‚

What Are White Blood Cells? White blood cells are an important component of your blood system‚ which is also made up of red blood cells‚ platelets‚ and plasma. Although your white blood cells account for only about 1 percent of your blood‚ their impact is significant. White blood cells‚ also called leukocytes‚ are essential for good health and protection against illness and disease. Think of white blood cells as your immunity cells. In a sense‚ they are continually at war. They flow through your

functions. Also discuss the production of blood cells and what can happen in the body when that system malfunctions." The functions of blood are: to regulate body temperature‚ transport oxygen and nutrients to the lungs and cell tissue‚ transport carbon dioxide from cells to the lungs‚ carry cells and antibodies that fight infection‚ deliver waste to the kidneys and liver(which filter blood)‚ and form blood clots to prevent blood loss. Red blood cells or erythrocytes develop in the bone marrow
