What's in OUR BLOOD?

I don't know about you guys, but I wonder what is going on inside my body. How everything works within. What I am especially interested in is our blood. We scrape our knees when we fall and blood comes out and after a few mins it turns into a scab, then a few days we will pluck out the scab and our skin is fine again. Our body is so efficient without us realizing it. Well I hope this post will enlighten you guys about a major part of us; Our blood.

What is blood composed of? Our blood is 55% plasma and 45% cells parts. Now all of you might ask what in the world is plasma or cell parts? Basically Plasma is a mixture of fluids, which includes 92% of water, 7% of proteins and 1% of nutrients, waste, fats, hormones, vitamins, gases, and dissolved salts (that's why our blood taste like iron or saltwater). Cells parts are Red Blood Cells (RBC), White Blood Cells (WBC), and Platelets. Red Blood Cells carry gases which are oxygen and carbon dioxide. White Blood Cells fights infections of all sorts. Platelets are what's responsible for closing clotting the blood when we scrape our knees for example. The most abundant is RBCs, Platelets comes after, and the rarest are WBCs. For what they all look like, There is a picture to give you a visual representation.

So that's all the science behind the composition of our blood. Now a question that I think you need to ask yourself is how useful is your blood and how much we take it for granted. Just like all of our other parts of the body. We as human beings obviously need to breathe. What do you think carries oxygen throughout our body? That's right, you guessed it, it is OUR BLOOD! That's one of many other reasons why our blood is extremely important. Having healthy blood means having a healthy and less senile life. Did you know that having healthy blood means having beautiful skin. So to those who want the ever so flawless skin, do these few steps to achieving so.

1) EXERCISE!!! this is crucial for you to have healthy blood because it will induce more blood cell production in our body.
2) HYDRATE!!! you need to drink an adequate amount of water daily according to your bodyweight. the ideal amount is 1 LITER PER 25KG of your body weight.
3) A HEALTHY DIET!!! you are what you eat. if you eat junk you will look like junk. Eat more fruits and vegetables and keep away from sugary foods and drinks.

FUN FACTS:

1. Average Men have approximately 5 Liters of blood, while Women only have 4.5 Liters.
2. Leukemia patients have a high count of WBCs

HAEMOPOIES by: Nurul Shafiqa Have you guys ever wonder how does our blood being produced?  Do you know where exactly is the blood formation takes place? I know some of you might not interested to know about this scientific processes, but as for me,it is fun to know what our body have gone through everyday. Although I used to be like that too when I was a kid, now i feel grateful that I have to learn this to pass my exams. It sounds like I was being forced, hahahaha somehow it's true.😝Nope, we shouldn't be like that! What we learn today must be very useful for our future. Not only we can get benefit from the knowledge, but we also learn on how to appreciate what does our God gives us and be more grateful of what we have compared to other people out there. I still remember the time I fell from my bicycle. I was 6 that time. That is because I wasn't listening to my mom. I still wanna play with my friends although it was just few minutes after the rain stopped. I rod

By: Amirul Fikri Hi guys!!! Have you ever wonder why you got sick? Have you ever wonder what is the defensive system in our body? Who are the one that willing to sacrifice for us to live more longer? I have always wonder about it since child especially when I became sick. I wonder how I became healthy again, after got a very painful fever and only thinking about death at that time. Very funny to flashback about it but it is the truth when I cried and ask for forgiveness to my parents when got fever. But when recovered, I felt like I have the same power like wolverine in X-men. But when I pursue my studies in medical subject, I realized that there were some bad thing that always got jealousy to our health and some good thing in our body which fighting back and sacrificed for our health. The bad thing that always got jealous to the body health is called pathogens. This pathogens which including viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa and worms attacks or infects the body and t

Can you imagine how small hemoglobin molecule are and how much it consist in our body. It beyond your expectation right. So appreciate your blood as how you appreciate your money. But our red blood cell only last for 120 days. After that, red blood cell destruction occur. The cell are removed extravascularly by macrophages of the reticuloendothelial system specially in the bone marrow and also in the liver and spleen. When it destructed, the new red blood cell will replaced the destroyed red blood cell to maintain our body function. So, have you guys ever wondered how normal red blood cell destruction occured in our body? Do you think it is that complicated? Actually it is not as complicated as you
