+ | ==== Oxygen is transported by erythrocytes ==== | ||
+ | Oxygen in human blood is transported mainly by erythrocytes. In combination with hemoglobin, it forms oxygenated (not oxidized, there is no oxidation reaction between iron and oxygen) hemoglobin (oxyhemoglobin). In contrast, about 3 percent of oxygen is transported in dissolved form in plasma. [([[https:// | ||
+ | ==== The Rh system ==== | ||
+ | The Rh system of human blood was discovered by Karl Landsteiner and Alexander S. Wiener. They were experimenting with the blood of rhesus monkeys at the time. The abbreviation " | ||
- | For people | + | ==== Blue blood ==== |
+ | Octopuses and squids have blue blood. Instead of red hemoglobin, copper-containing hemocyanin acts as an oxygen transporter (hence the blue color). At low temperatures and low oxygen concentrations in the water, hemocyanin-based transport is more efficient than hemoglobin-based transport. [([[https:// | ||

+ | ==== 7% of body weight ==== | ||
+ | Blood is the most important component of any living organism and accounts for about 7% of body weight. [([[https:// | ||

+ | ==== 1 cup of blood ==== | ||
+ | A newborn baby has about 1 cup of blood in its body. [([[https:// | ||

+ | ==== 55% ==== | ||
+ | About 55% of our blood consists of plasma. [([[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Plasma ==== | ||
+ | Plasma is a carrier base for morphotic elements. It contains organic and inorganic components. Inorganic components are sodium, potassium, chloride, and carbonate ions. Organic components are proteins, non-protein nitrogenous and nitrogen-free components, and plasma lipids. [([[https:// | ||

+ | ==== Leukocytes ==== | ||
+ | Leukocytes are found in blood, lymph, and connective tissue. They are formed in the bone marrow and the lymphoid system (thymus, spleen, lymph nodes, and lymph nodes). In the blood of a healthy person, there are 4-10 thousand /mm3. They are divided into granulocytes, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Reticulocyte ==== | ||
+ | The immature form of the red blood cell is the reticulocyte. The number of reticulocytes in the blood illustrates the rate of production by the bone marrow. [([[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Remember their enemies ==== | ||
+ | Lymphocytes remember their enemies. They are able to recognize them and fend off an attack even decades after they first suffered a disease. [([[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Granulocytes ==== | ||
+ | Granulocytes are divided into neutrophils, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Thrombocytes ==== | ||
+ | Thrombocytes (platelets) are responsible for blood clotting. They are fragments of the cytoplasm of marrow cells or megakaryocytes. They live for up to 10 days, after which they are broken down in the spleen. In human blood, they are present in the amount of 200-300 thousand/ | ||

+ | ==== Differences in blood type ==== | ||
+ | People with blood type O are less likely to suffer heart attacks and strokes than those with blood type AB. [([[https:// | ||

+ | Swedish scientists | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Origin of bloodtypes ==== | ||
+ | Probably 20000 years ago, all humans had the same blood type - 0. It was only when man shifted from nomadic to a sedentary mode that a new blood type - A. The AB type was created about 1000 years ago. [([[https:// | ||
