Death of Red Blood Cells?

Image
The life span of  Blood cells, especially Red Blood Cells, is about 120 days۔ They then become inoperable and the Spleen in the body filters them out and releases them۔ Old red blood cells break down in the spleen and occasionally in the liver۔ During this process, the components of hemoglobin are divided into Heme and Globin۔ The globin is broken down into protein components and reused, while the Heme forms iron and Bilirubin۔ Iron is reused in the body, while Bilirubin goes into the liver, where it is converted to Bile۔ Bileurobin is secreted into the small intestine by the Bile Duct, where it is converted to Urobilinogen۔ Some urobilinogen is reabsorbed into the blood and converted into Urobilin by the kidneys and excreted with urine, while the rest is converted into Stercobilin by the intestines and excreted with feces۔ Through this process, the body not only gets rid of old and dysfunctional blood cells, but also reuses their components to form new blood cells۔ This system is ...

What are Red Blood Cells..!

Image
There are three types of cells in the blood. These are red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.The largest number of cells in the blood are red blood cells. The lifespan of red blood cells is 120 days. That is, after 120 days, the old red blood cells in the blood disappear and they are replaced by new red blood cells.   The color of our blood is red because of red blood cells. In fact, a protein called hemoglobin is found in red blood cells and this protein is responsible for giving red color to the Red Blood Cells and to the Blood also. Red blood cells, also known as erythrocytes, have several important functions in the body: Transport oxygen : Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues through the circulatory system. This is possible because red blood cells contain hemoglobin, an iron-rich protein that binds to oxygen. Hemoglobin also gives red blood cells their red color. Remove waste : Red blood cells also transport waste products, like carbon di...

Allergies: Thyroid and Thymus Glands

The functions of both the thyroid and thymus glands are quite different, but the names are very similar to each other, their place is also around each other. The thyroid gland is present in the throat and the thymus is hidden right between the breasts i.e. between the two lungs. Thyroid Gland The thyroid is an endocrine gland that makes the thyroid hormone. The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located at the bottom of the neck. A normal healthy thyroid gland may not be obvious outside the throat, but a damaged thyroid can be felt protruding from the neck. Thyroid hormone helps control the body's metabolism system, such as indigestion due to thyroid disorders can include chest pain, lack of acidic substances in the stomach or too much excess, constipation, stones, anemia, and overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine.  The thyroid gland has a significant effect on the gastrointestinal system.
