Document Summary
Women mostly have 4l where men have 5l. There are many types of white blood cells(leukocytes) If you do(cid:374)"t have e(cid:374)ough red (cid:271)lood (cid:272)ells this could result in anemia. Too much red blood cells (ie. in athletes), blood becomes too viscous(thick) , can block organs. The last stage of creating rbcs is the removal of a nucleus, left with only hemoglobin. Rbcs are not capable of producing more protein, no form of repairing themselves relatively short lifespan. Erythrocyte is the last stage before maturation (aka removal of nucleus/organelles) Bruabn is used to break down any attacking cells and blood cells. Globin is the aa chain and it can be reused. Hemoglobin can be stored in the liver or spleen. Each type has different glycoprotein (or antigen) Type o = does not have either type a/b antigens. Type b = b antigen, a antibody. Type a = a antigen, b antibody. Blood type o = universal donor, only receive from o.
