What does blood do in the body?

Blood is necessary for life in all parts of the body. To understand this, you must first realize that the blood contains a lot of different substances and cells. There is a fluid here, a part of the blood called plasma. It contains many substances in dissolved form.

Let's take a look at some of them and find out what they do. Carbohydrates, such as sugar, are found in the blood to provide energy to the body. Fats are contained here for combustion or accumulation. Various salts can also be found in the blood, which serve the needs of the body. Blood plasma carries nutrients from the stomach and intestines to cells that would otherwise be hungry. In addition, plasma carries waste away from cells to the kidneys and intestines.

The blood also contains the secretions of many glands, which are also carried to various parts of the body. Red blood cells (erythrocytes), which give blood its color, contain a substance called hemoglobin. The body needs hemoglobin because it easily combines with gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide. Red blood cells carry oxygen through the arteries and capillaries to all cells in the body. White blood cells (leukocytes) are also very important for the body. They destroy bacteria.

Other white cells (lymphocytes) are part of the body's process of fighting bacteria. Another variety of white cells (monocytes) is associated with dead tissue and dirt that can enter the body. There is another type of blood cells - platelets. They contribute to blood clotting so that wounds and cuts do not lose a lot of blood.

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Implanted brain stimulator 30.04.2024

In recent years, scientific research in the field of neurotechnology has made enormous progress, opening new horizons for the treatment of various psychiatric and neurological disorders. One of the significant achievements was the creation of the smallest implanted brain stimulator, presented by a laboratory at Rice University. Called Digitally Programmable Over-brain Therapeutic (DOT), this innovative device promises to revolutionize treatments by providing more autonomy and accessibility to patients. The implant, developed in collaboration with Motif Neurotech and clinicians, introduces an innovative approach to brain stimulation. It is powered through an external transmitter using magnetoelectric power transfer, eliminating the need for wires and large batteries typical of existing technologies. This makes the procedure less invasive and provides more opportunities to improve patients' quality of life. In addition to its use in treatment, resist ... >>

The perception of time depends on what one is looking at 29.04.2024

Research in the field of the psychology of time continues to surprise us with its results. Recent discoveries by scientists from George Mason University (USA) turned out to be quite remarkable: they discovered that what we look at can greatly influence our sense of time. During the experiment, 52 participants took a series of tests, estimating the duration of viewing various images. The results were surprising: the size and detail of the images had a significant impact on the perception of time. Larger, less cluttered scenes created the illusion of time slowing down, while smaller, busier images gave the feeling of time speeding up. Researchers suggest that visual clutter or detail overload can make it difficult to perceive the world around us, which in turn can lead to faster perception of time. Thus, it was shown that our perception of time is closely related to what we look at. Larger and smaller ... >>

The TV is preparing to force the computer out of the apartment 30.11.2004

Manufacturers of computer equipment, cherishing exactly the opposite plans, run the risk of being very upset.

The new standard, proposed Monday by members of the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), calls for an interface that lets you control all your household utensils from a conventional TV screen.

Unlike its predecessors, the standard, called CEA-2027, allows you to fully control any electronic device connected to your home local area network using the FireWire protocol (in the future, support for Ethernet networks may appear).

Moreover, according to CNET, the functionality of the "server TV" depends primarily on the functionality of controlled devices and, therefore, can be expanded as more and more advanced electronic toys are purchased, such as digital recorders and smart coffee makers.
