2. Hemoglobin is a protein molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and also returns carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs as well. Hemoglobin
3. Blood doping, is the act of boosting the number of red blood cells in circulation in order to enhance the amount of oxygen that is carried into your muscles from your lungs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_doping Blood Doping
4. They were developed for use in emergencies , for example when there is no time for determining a patients blood-type for transfusion, when there is a high risk of infection, or simply when no blood is available, blood doping comes into play http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_doping Medical Uses Involving Blood Doping
5. Erythropoietin, a hormone produced by both the kidney and liver, increases the rate of red blood cells. It prevents anemia (low blood count) by helping you make red blood cells http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_doping Erythropoietin (EPO)
6. Increased blood viscosity (thickness) Heart attack Pulmonary embolism (a blockage, which can be fat, air or a blood clot, of the pulmonary artery) Cerebral embolism (a blockage, formed elsewhere in the body, which becomes lodged in an artery within or leading to the brain) Infections and stroke http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_doping Side Effects of Blood Doping
7. Hemoglobin is a good transporter of oxygen because it consists of iron. Oxygen molecules bind to the iron portion of the hemoglobin molecules, which carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissue. When oxygen bind occur, hemoglobin changes slightly, enhancing its ability to carry more oxygen. Bind to oxygen in the lungs, then release that oxygen in the tissues then bind to carbon dioxide in the tissue and release oxygen to the lungs Hemoglobin's Importance in the Transport of Oxygen in Our Bodies
8. Transport of oxygen by hemoglobin a real-life example of chemical bonding? Transport of oxygen by hemoglobin is a real life example of chemical bonding, because it is transported by two elements iron and oxygen. Iron is a positively charge atom and oxygen is a negatively charge atom, so they bond together and form chemical bond. http://www.visionlearning.com/library/module_viewer.php?mid=55
9. Blood doping is carried out in the belief that it increases the oxygen-carrying capacity of the circulatory system and thereby improves endurance. The blood may be obtained from the same individual (auto transfusion) or from another individual. http://www.visionlearning.com/library/module_viewer.php?mid=55 Blood Doping Used in Sports
10. pH && transport of oxygen by hemoglobin? Hemoglobin releases oxygen by H+ ions from the cells, the difference in pH(7.44) of blood is enough to release oxygen from the hemoglobin from the tissue. http://www.visionlearning.com/library/module_viewer.php?mid=55
11. Autologous-from the same organism. Homologous-of the same chemical type, but differing by a fixed increment of an atom or a constant group of atoms. http://dictionary.reference.com/ What is the Difference Between Autologous and Homologous Blood Doping
12. How is Hemoglobin related to a successful climb to the top of mt.everest? Hemoglobin is related to the successful climb to the top of mt.everest, because hemoglobin consists of Oxegon throughout the body so it helps make a successful climb to the top. It increases the oxygen, carrying the capacity of the circulatory system, in order to improve endurance. http://www.visionlearning.com/library/module_viewer.php?mid=55
