increased level of red blood cells in the bloodstream. People with polycythemia have an increase in hematocrit‚ hemoglobin‚ or red blood cell count is more than the normal limits. Polycythemia is also known as polycythaemia or polyglobulia. Polycythemia is a disease where in which the proportion of blood volume that is occupied by red blood cells increases. Blood volume proportions can be measured as hematocrit level. It can be because of an increase in the number of red blood cells. Polycythemia is sometimes

Kramas Cells and Heredity Lab Tuesday 2:00-4:50 22 OCTOBER 2012 Membrane Permeability Decreases as Molecular Size Increases Introduction: Red blood cells are vital to organisms functioning properly. They are microscopic cells that carry oxygen from the lungs to all the tissues throughout the body. Upon transporting oxygen‚ red blood cells also exports waste‚ such as carbon dioxide‚ to the lungs where it can be expelled. Red blood cells are made up of hemoglobin which is surrounded by a cell membrane

Different blood types are categorized by the antibodies bind to it‚ and the most obvious is the ABO and Rh blood group systems. Several diseases associated with RBC‚ and the most obvious one is anemia (Rummel 2016). Anemia disease described a condition where less number of Hb bind to RBCs‚ and caused insufficient of oxygen deliver to the body. The disease resulted in abnormal shape of RBC to sickle shape. The size of RBCs are also changed to either smaller or larger than the normal cells and eventually

A new type of technology is being applied for cancer‚ it is called Nano bots. The Nano bots are small and will be able to eliminate all the harmful cancer cells without killing the good cells. How the Nano bots do this is that they identify the distinct characteristics the cancer cells possess and destroys those cells. The Nano bots

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION/LITERATURE REVIEW THE ERYTHROCYTES A cell that contains haemoglobin and can carry oxygen to the body. Also called a red blood cell (RBC). The reddish colour is due to haemoglobin. Erythrocytes are biconcave in shape which increases the cells surface area and facilitates the diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide. This shape is maintained by a cytoskeleton composed of several proteins. Erythrocytes

realize that they are suffering from it. It can be only analyzed by the blood test in form anemia. Symptoms of thalasemia are fatigue‚ pale skin‚ protruding abdomen‚ dark urine‚ and abnormal facial bones. The symptoms depend on the type and severity of the disease. These kinds of symptoms typically occur when oxygen is not able to pass in various parts of the body due to low hemoglobin and a shortage of red blood cells in the blood. People with alpha thalassemia trait or beta thalassemia trait usually

The human body consists of eleven major organ systems that maintain homeostasis: the skeletal‚ muscular‚ circulatory‚ nervous‚ respiratory‚ digestive‚ urinary‚ endocrine‚ reproductive‚ integumentary and lymphatic systems. These organ systems are dependent on each other to keep the human body in homeostasis. For example‚ the nervous and endocrine systems coordinate functions of other body systems because they allow information to be communicated throughout the body. The nervous system consists of

Depending on the cancer that one may have cancer cells have more chromosomes that are scattered which is for why cancer cells are formed. In cell division all living things obtain cells in which come from other preexisting cells. If normal cells are do not divide and make new cells then cancer will occur. In order of all cells to be
