Blood Cell Monologue
Hello,they call me Blue,cause well I’m a carbon dioxide infused blood cell,isn't everybody?. I was made in the bone marrow along with all my brothers and sisters. Todays my 1st in the heart, and well I guess my first day to be alive really, I’m so excited. The heart would be my first trip well, anywhere really it’s truly amazing wait, unless you count the bone marrow. Did you know? I was only made about 5 seconds ago in your own bone marrow and now I’m headed for you’r heart.
Okay so I’ll admit I’m scared, nervous, and excited you may be thinking that’s a lot of emotions for a little blood cell but really it’s not, we cells have a lot of feelings, emotions, and personalities. I mean it’s my first time in the heart ever if you aren't excited

    The more zoomed image showed that the red blood cells were roughly 5 reticle units in diameter. Also, there was a large quantity of red blood cells compared to the white blood cells. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin which carries oxygen throughout the body. Since the body constantly needs oxygen, there is a large amount of red blood cells. Red blood cells are also small and flat which allow hemoglobin to take in oxygen better (http://www.healthhype). White blood cells are very different as they are larger in size (roughly 8 reticle units in diameter), shaped irregularly and have a nucleus. The purpose of a white blood cell is to fight off any infections that enter your body. White blood cells are not needed as much as red blood cells which is why there is a lot less red blood cells then white blood cells (https://www.urmc)…

    At 9:15 in the morning, I was excused from first period to go to room 508 to check myself in for the blood drive. I was told to wait until a nurse became available. A nurse called my name and I went behind a curtain to have the mandatory test done to determine if I could give blood. She drew a sample of blood from my finger to check my iron count and also took everything from my heart rate to my blood pressure. Everything had passed with flying colors. After the results on the blood test came back, the nurse told me that my iron count was good enough to give a double red blood cell donation. I was expecting to donate the common pint of blood like all of the other participants in the donation, so once again I was faced with another on-the-spot decision on whether to give the common pint of blood or the double red blood cell donation. After hearing the nurse's recommendation, I decided to go ahead and do the double red blood cell donation because she said it was more in need at the moment. Not knowing what I had just done, the nurse hooked me up to a machine that would as she explained “take the regular pint of blood out but then put back the white blood cells, platelets, and the plasma into your body”. There was no turning back now, I sat in the blue reclining chair watching and feeling as my blood left me and then returned without the red blood cells. After my donation, I had some refreshments and returned to class. Throughout the day I felt pleased with my decision to donate and enjoyed wearing the donation sticker I received. But the true joy came about a month after the…

    The day started off like any other day. The sun was out, the sky was bright blue and the birds were chirping away, when all of a sudden I felt a tugging sensation.

    Cell division occurs when cells are dividing in order to produce new cells. I have compared the differences between cancer and good cell division to find out the process of division of all cells, this is also when I found that there are different more complicated chromosomes in cancer cells. One of the main problems with cancer cells comparing is the chance of tumor formation which leads to the invasion of cancerous cells. Another consequence is the cancer spreading to other organs. A tumor consists of a mass of cancer cells in the tissue. Usually an evasive tumor is malignant, causing cells to develop in the blood. Tumors invade growth that the tissue and organs need to survive.…
