Blood - we can't live without it! blood; plasma; blood cells; blood types; blood transfusion; platelets; immune system; anaemia; clotting; bleeding; serum; antibodies; A; B; AB; O; antigens; rhesus; rh+; rh-; iron; periods ; Contents Blood is the fluid that keeps our bodies going. It is a transport system that carries oxygen and the essential chemicals to where they are needed in the body. It carries heat around our bodies, to keep our fingers warm and stop our brains from overheating.More than half of blood is plasma. Sometimes people need extra blood because they have lost more than the body can make in a short time or they are not making enough red blood cells (this is called anaemia (say an-ee-me-a)). Doctors can give blood from one person to another in what is called a transfusion (say trans-few-shun). The blood that someone is given is 'matched' so that it won’t be destroyed by their immune system. Type A blood can go to anyone who has type A or AB. Many people donate blood every few months. Blood is amazing.
physicscentral Fotos Bones: They’re alive! Without bones, your body would be a slippery bag of organs. But the stiff models of a skeleton that you’ve seen in science class (or as Halloween decorations) tell only half the story. That’s because “the skeleton does more than just hold you up,” explains Laura Tosi Bones are made of living, breathing cells. Tiny ear bones conduct sounds that help us hear. And that’s just for starters. Cells called osteoblasts (gray blobs forming an oval) create new bone tissue. Robert M. The skeleton crew The framework that gives your body shape is surprisingly busy. The body’s skeleton changes constantly. Cells called osteoclasts break down old bone through a process called resorption. Through childhood and early adulthood, the body makes more new bone than it takes away. Cells called osteocytes, one shown here, act like conductors in a symphony, instructing the other bone cells what to do. Wikimedia Commons To build more bone, cells require certain building blocks.

Charming talks for a boost on a bad day | Playlist Now playing All under the age of 16, brothers Jonny, Robbie and Tommy Mizzone are from New Jersey, a US state that's better known for the rock of Bruce Springsteen than the bluegrass of Earl Scruggs. Nonetheless, the siblings began performing bluegrass covers, as well as their own compositions, at a young age. BioEd Online: Biology Teacher Resources, Lesson Plans is pleased to offer a new online series of podcasts and supplementary standards-based educational activities, research information, and links. National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI) researcher, Dr. Babs Soller of the University of Massachusetts Medical School, has been working to develop techniques for non-invasive measurement of blood and tissue chemistry. Her work can be used to help monitor the health of astronauts in space. National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI) scientist Scott Dulchavsky has developed a technique to train space flight crews to conduct medical-quality ultrasound imaging in space. David Dinges, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, is working with the National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI) to develop a test that helps astronauts to gauge fatigue and stress during long missions in space.
Swedish divers unearth a 'Stone Age Atlantis': 11,000-year-old ancient settlement discovered under the Baltic Sea Divers found a harpoon, tools, horns and the bones of ancient cattle The bones belonged to the animal auroch last seen in the early 1600sArchaeologists believe these relics date back to the Stone AgeIt is said to be the oldest settlement in the area - dubbed Sweden’s 'Atlantis' By Victoria Woollaston Published: 16:06 GMT, 27 January 2014 | Updated: 17:16 GMT, 27 January 2014 Divers in Sweden have discovered a rare collection of Stone Age artefacts buried deep beneath the Baltic Sea. Archaeologists believe the relics were left by Swedish nomads 11,000 years ago and the discovery may be evidence of one of the oldest settlements ever found in the Nordic region. Some of the relics are so well preserved, reports have dubbed the find 'Sweden’s Atlantis' and suggested the settlement may have been swallowed whole by the sea in the same way as the mythical island in the Atlantic Ocean. Divers in Sweden have discovered a rare collection of Stone Age artefacts buried beneath the Baltic Sea, pictured.
