Hematopoiesis, the process of daily blood cell production, involves maintaining the physiological balance of circulating blood cells. It includes the generation of billions of erythrocytes, platelets, and leukocytes to meet the body's needs. The location of hematopoiesis changes throughout human lif

Blood is comprised of cells and plasma that circulate within the closed circulatory system. The formed elements include erythrocytes, platelets, and leukocytes, each playing vital roles in oxygen transport, defense against infection, and nutrient distribution throughout the body. The hematocrit esti

Erythrocytes, the main carriers of oxygen in the body, can be utilized as carriers for drug delivery due to their biocompatibility and ability to protect drugs from premature degradation. They offer advantages such as targeted drug delivery, sustained release of drugs, and protection against toxic e

Entamoeba histolytica is a zoonotic protozoan parasite found in the digestive tracts of various hosts. It exists in trophozoite and cyst forms, with trophozoites containing erythrocytes and pseudopodia. The cyst stage is characterized by spherical masses discharged by trophozoites and containing chr

Crystalarthropathies encompass a group of diseases characterized by hyperuricemia and uric acid crystal formation, leading to conditions like gouty arthritis and nephrolithiasis. Primary gout, characterized by hyperuricemia without an identifiable underlying cause, primarily affects older men. Mecha

The human body consists mostly of water, with blood making up approximately 8% of body weight. Blood is composed of plasma and formed elements, including red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets. Plasma, the liquid part of blood, contains various proteins such as

Blood is a vital fluid tissue in the human body, classified as a connective tissue. It consists of living cells known as formed elements suspended in a non-living matrix called plasma. The physical characteristics of blood, such as color range, pH level, and temperature, play crucial roles in mainta
