...turn on the radio to hear a guy singing about his broken heart? We see and hear about hearts everywhere. A long time ago, people even thought that their emotions came from their hearts, maybe because the heart beats faster when a person is scared or excited. Now we know that emotions come from the brain, and in this case, the brain tells the heart to speed up. So what's the heart up to, then? How does it keep busy? What does it look like? Let's find out. Working That Muscle Your heart is really a muscle. It's located a little to the left of the middle of your chest, and it's about the size of your fist. There are lots of muscles all over your body — in your arms, in your legs, in your back, even in your behind. But the heart muscle is special because of what it does. The heart sends blood around your body. The blood provides your body with the oxygen and nutrients it needs. It also carries away waste. Your heart is sort of like a pump, or two pumps in one. The right side of your heart receives blood from the body and pumps it to the lungs. The left side of the heart does the exact opposite: It receives blood from the lungs and pumps it out to the body. You probably guessed that the blood just doesn't slosh around your body once it leaves the heart. It moves through many tubes called arteries and veins, which together are called blood vessels. These blood vessels are attached to the heart. The blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart are called arteries...

...for Informative Speech Title: Blood of Life Speaker: Specific Purpose: At the conclusion of my speech, the audience will know what happens to blood from its’ creation in your own body, to the process of donation and subsequent use in transfusion. Central Idea: How blood is created in your body, and the process from donation to transfusion. Introduction I. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines blood as, “the fluid that circulates in the heart, arteries, capillaries, and veins of a vertebrate animal carrying nourishment and oxygen to and bringing away waste products from all parts of the body.” II. Blood is the essence of life itself, created in our own bodies, in the bone marrow. III. Blood donation is a relatively simple process that can save lives. IV. We can trace our own blood supply from creation to transfusion; looking at how blood is created and used by the body, how blood is collected and donated, and what happens to it after donation. Transition: So, let’s get right to the marrow, inside the bones where it all begins. Body I. According to the Puget Sound Blood Center, blood is produced by the bone marrow inside your bones. A. Three kinds of blood cells are produced inside the marrow: red blood cells, disease fighting white blood cells, and blood clotting platelets B. From the bone marrow these cells enter the circulatory system, your blood vessels. 1. Here...

...High Blood Pressure and Your Kidneys About 65 million Americans have high blood pressure, but as many as one third—or three in 10—don't even know it. There are usually no signs or symptoms that your blood pressure is too high. That is why it is important to have your blood pressure checked on a regular basis, especially if you have a family history of the disease or are at risk for other reasons. (See “What causes high blood pressure?” on page 3.) Do you know these facts about high blood pressure? I It is called a “silent killer” because you can have it for years without knowing it. It is a leading cause of heart attacks, strokes and chronic kidney disease. Controlling high blood pressure reduces the risk of these complications. High blood pressure can often be controlled by losing excess weight, exercising more, not smoking and cutting down on salt. I I I What is blood pressure? Blood pressure is measured with a blood pressure cuff that is wrapped around your upper arm. The person taking your blood pressure (you can learn to do it yourself) pumps air into the cuff and then slowly lets it out while listening for the sound of your pulse. The top number in your blood pressure reading is called the systolic pressure and the bottom number is called the diastolic pressure. Your reading might be 120/80, which is said as “120 over 80.” The top number is the pressure when your heart beats. The bottom number is the pressure when your heart rests between beats. ...

...BLOOD DONATION ANBU 1111711205004 Information Technology ABSTRACT Blood donation is carried out when a person voluntarily agrees for blood to be drawn with the intention of donating it. The donated blood may be used for transfusions or itmay be separated into individual components to be used as required. The latter procedure is called fractionation.Blood donation may be of different kinds. In the developedcountries unpaid donors give blood to replenish a community supply. In economically poorer countries, however, blood donation is carried out according to demand, as the established blood ties are extremely limited. It may be an altruistic act or it may include a cash payment or incentives other than money. A person can have blood drawn and stored for own future use.In 1997, the World Health Organization (WHO) set a target for all blood donors to be unpaid volunteers. But statistics, in 2006, revealed that only 49 of 124 countries surveyed had achieved this target. INTRODUCTION A blood donation occurs when a person voluntarily has blood drawn and used for transfusions and/or made into biopharmaceutical medications by a process called fractionation (separation of whole-blood components). Donation may be of whole-blood or of specific components directly. Blood banks often participate in the collection process as well as the procedures that follow it.

...Blood Viscosity Earlier, More Accurate Prediction of Cardiovascular Event Risk Pushpa Larsen, ND [pic]Ralph Holsworth, DO, recently shared a story with me about a patient he had in Colorado many years ago. He was an intern in a Denver hospital when he admitted a patient diagnosed as having a blood clot in his leg. Dr Holsworth started him on low-molecular-weight heparin subcutaneous injections concurrently with warfarin sodium. He worked the patient up for congenital thrombophilias, cancer, hypothyroidism, and other conditions, and consulted with hematology-oncology on the case. When the patient’s prothrombin time–international normalized ratio exceeded 2.0, Dr Holsworth was instructed by hematology-oncology to discharge the patient. A few minutes later, Dr Holsworth’s pager buzzed. His patient had just collapsed in the parking lot. He rushed down to the emergency department, where cardiopulmonary resuscitation was in progress and assisted in the code. The patient was pronounced dead after several attempts at resuscitation. A mandatory autopsy revealed that the patient had a major pulmonary embolism, resulting in his sudden death. It was not until several years later that Dr Holsworth learned of the role of whole blood viscosity (WBV) in the formation of thrombi. Dr Holsworth recalled that his aforementioned patient had been discharged with normal vital signs and laboratory test results that provided no indication of the evolving danger. Dr Holsworth later became one...

The red blood cells help carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and then returns carbon dioxide from the body to the lungs so it can be exhaled. Due to a special protein called hemoglobin. They account for about 40-45 percent of the body's blood, which appears red because of its large number. There are two main populations of white blood cells, which are T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes. The T lymphocytes help regulate the function of other immune cells and directly attack various infected cells and tumors. The B lymphocytes make antibodies, which are proteins that specifically target bacteria, viruses, and other foreign materials.

...What is blood? It courses through our veins, and keeps our body alive. But when it is exposed it represents murder, agony and death. In “Macbeth” by shakespeare, blood is a recurring image in multiple parts of the story, and constantly is a major factor in the prophecy of Macbeth. Although the blood is mainly a motif that is only around when murders and death is being talked about, it still remains a key element in the making of macbeth as a character and hiding the murder from his kinsman. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth begin their murderous and troubling journey, blood starts to symbolize their guilt, and they both start to think that the crimes they commited have permanently stained them in a way that cannot be cleaned off.

...Blood Donations: The Causes and Effects of Advertising There are many people walking the face of the earth at this very moment because of the unselfish benevolence and caring of blood donors throughout the United States. This generosity, without a doubt, is responsible for saving an immeasurable amount of lives each and every year. Many individuals simply don’t know what is involved with donating blood, so they don’t or can’t bring themselves to do it. For the scores of people who can’t, they could volunteer in other areas, including making financial contributions that would help with advertising costs. Educating the general public on the pros and cons of blood donation should be at the top of the list when advertising. When the twin towers were attacked on September 11, 2001, a record number of Americans donated blood in support of the tragedy on that day. According to Korcok (2002): So much donated blood was wasted after last year's Sept. 11 terrorist attacks that US blood banks have struck a special task force to ensure that it doesn't happen again. More than 200,000 units of whole blood had to be thrown away after Americans donated 500,000 extra units in September and October. Donated blood is discarded if it remains unused after 42 days... fewer than 260 units were actually needed to treat victims of the attacks in New York and Washington. This special task force is responsible for developing consistent advertising campaigns which will focus on specific...

...Professor Clark ENC 1101 Research Paper 7 August 2012 Work Count: 1,227 The Unexposed Dangers of Blood Transfusions Blood is not considered the “fluid of life” without valid reason. This essential liquid is circulated throughout the human body within veins, capillaries and arteries to our heart, where it is cleaned from contaminants and waste products, then replenished with nutrients and oxygen needed to maintain life. That is the way the human body system nourishes its cells. Blood provides the necessary nutrients to our cells to keep them alive. When this process is compromised by chronic blood loss, trauma, clotting abnormalities (hemophilia, anemia, etc.), the most common treatment is the use of blood transfusions. How wise would it be to consider all of the risk factors involved with blood transfusions before making a decision to utilize one? “There is increasing evidence that blood transfusions are dangerous and often unnecessary” (Hupston, “Quality Blood Transfusion Alternatives” 1). According to the article “Blood Transfusions- Risks”, published by the Mayo Foundation Medical Education and Research (MFMER), several risks are associated with blood transfusions. Included are the possibilities of getting an allergic reaction, even when the two blood types are compatible. Such reaction can cause from hives and itching to greater problems pertaining to breathing problems and blood pressure, tachycardia, vomiting, anxiety and fever. If a reaction of that nature occurs, the doctor...
