blood composition 3 questions? please help?
1. The Rh factor is sometimes a problem during pregnancy. State the type of maternal and paternal blood that may give rise to this problem. Why can this cause a problem?
2. Why is the hemoglobin content of blood important?
3. What's the cause and effect on the body of the following disorders, what treatments are involved in each of the disorders:
- iron deficiency
- sickle cell anemia
- leukemia
- mononucleosis
3. How does blood aid in temperature regulation?

1) RH factor is important in determining whether there would be any problems with incomptability. Some examples of conditions that it could be are: mental retardation, disabilities and other sort of problems.
2) Hemoglobin is important because it carries oxygen and carbon dioxide around. Oxygen on hemoglobin is known as oxyhemoglobin. Carbon dioxide on hemoglobin is known as carboxyhemoglobin.
3) Iron deficiency -- folic acid and other iron supplement rich foods such as spinach, liver and other things like that.
Sickle cell anemia -- by appropriate medications.
Leukemia -- this is a type of cancer. it is often treated by radiation, chemotherapy and also through bone marrow transfusions.
Mononucleosis -- virus -- through some antivirals.
I have answered the first few questions, you can look at doing the last one yourself.

1. If the Mother is Rh negative and the Father is Rh positive, The Mother will need to receive an injection of Rhogam to avoid problems.
2. The hemoglobin is the part of the red blood cell that carries oxygen to the cells of the body.
3. Iron deficiency - caused by the depletion of iron storage by either increased requirements or excessive loss. A person can show no symptoms or can be fatigued, weak, dizzy or have headaches. In severe cases they can have a rapid heartbeat. - Treatment is usually iron supplements either by mouth or intravenous.
Sickle Cell Anemia - is a genetic disorder in which the red blood cells are misshaped resembling a sickle. Adults with sickle cell anemia have hemoglobins of 6.0-9.0 g/dl. Symptoms include acute pain, acute chest syndrome, and eventually causes damage to the kidneys, liver, gastrointestinal system , and bones and joints.
Leukemia - is the progressive, malignant disease of the blood forming organs which generally causes an increase in white blood cells and a decrease in the red blood cells. The symptoms of leukemia depend upon the many different types, as does the treatment.
Mononucleosis - is the presence of an abnormally large number of mononuclear white blood cells. It is caused by the Epstein-Barr Virus. Persons with mono can have a fever, sore throat, be extremely tired, liver malfunction, an enlarged spleen. Treatment generally consists of treating the symptoms and allowing the virus to run its course.
3. The body owes it ability to regulate its temperature largely to the water content of blood. Water is able to store more heat than most fluids, is a good conductor of heat from deep regions of the body, more heat is required for the evaporation of water than the equivalent amount of any other liquid. Blood is also a good heat regulator because it is in constant motion.
Leukemia — Comprehensive overview covers symptoms, causes, risk factors, treatment of this blood-related cancer.
