Question

3. In Alberta between 1976 and 1996, 32 workers died after inhaling hydrogen sulfide (H2S(g).) Hydrogen sulfide enters the body through the lungs and is first dissolved in the: A. platelets B. blood plasma C. red blood cells D. white blood cells 4. An experiment demonstrated that rats experienced a decrease in white blood cell function after they were fed genetically modified potatoes. This decrease in the function of the rat's white blood cells likely affected the rat's ability to: A. fight disease B. form blood clots C. oxygenate blood D. regulate the pH of body fluids Use the following information to answer the next question Patient A Patient B A normal blood cell count: Number Number Number Blood Component RBC 1 WBC Platelets Blood Component RBC | WBC Platelets | Blood Component BBC WBC Platelets Em 700-800 1-3 5-10 1100 2 5 34 70 5. Diagnose each patient based on normal blood counts as to what possible blood disorder or disease they might have. Patient A: Patient B:

Answer 1

3. Hydrogen sulphide gas will get dissolved in RBC and will be reacted with the oxygen and hemoglobin will be oxidized to form sulphide or sulphate.

4 . Ability of rats to fight blood disease will be reduced as rats have compromised on white blood cells which forms protein to fight the foreign material.

5. Patient A has higher RBC so he might have following disorders

I. Heart failure causing low level of blood oxygen

II. Hypoxia low blood oxygen levels

III. Carbon monoxide exposure in the blood

6. Patient B has high WBC is not a disease in itself but it can indicate another problems such as infection, stress, inflammation, trauma, allergies or viral or bacterial infection.

High platelates count is known as disease called as thrombocytosis ,infection results into blood clots,iorn deficiency anaemia are some other diseases.
