Blood Disorders Peer Review Status: Internally Reviewed by Cancer Center Staff First Published: 1995 Last Review Date: June 2004 Table of Contents INTRODUCTION: BLOOD CELLS Blood cells, consisting of red cells, white cells, and platelets , are made in the bone marrow , a soft, spongy tissue found in the center of large bones. In healthy people, millions of new blood cells are produced each hour to carry out important body functions. red blood cells erythrocytes ) carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. white blood cells leukocytes ) fight infections and illness. platelets thrombocytes ) cause the blood to clot, a process that stops bleeding when there is an injury. The body carefully regulates the activity of bone marrow to produce the correct number of each type of cell. If this regulation process is disrupted and the marrow produces too many or too few cells, a blood disorder occurs. The blood disorders discussed in this booklet include: Essential Thrombocythemia Idiopathic Myelofibrosis Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (Autoimmune Thrombocytopenia) Polycythemia Vera ... Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia Also included: Coping with Stress Glossary of Terms Normal Blood Count Values All of these blood disorders require medical attention.

31. Blood Blood plays an important role in how our bodies function. Most of the time, blood functions without problems, but sometimes, blood disorders or diseases http://kidshealth.org/parent/general/body_basics/blood.html

KidsHealth Parents General Health Body Basics Just about everyone knows that we can't live without blood. Without blood, our organs couldn't get the oxygen and nutrients they need to survive, we couldn't keep warm or cool off, we couldn't fight infections, and we couldn't get rid of our own waste products. Without enough blood, we'd weaken and die. So how exactly does blood do these things? How is it made, and what's in it? How does blood clot? These questions and more are explained in this article about the mysterious, life-sustaining fluid called blood. What Is Blood and What Does It Do? Two types of blood vessels carry blood throughout our bodies: The arteries carry oxygenated blood (blood that has received oxygen from the lungs) from the heart to the rest of the body. The blood then travels through the veins back to the heart and lungs, where it receives more oxygen. As the heart beats, you can feel blood traveling through the body at your pulse points - like the neck and the wrist - where large, blood-filled arteries run close to the surface of the skin. The blood that flows through this network of veins and arteries is called whole blood . Whole blood contains three types of blood cells, including:

Early signs of this disease are often diagnosed as many different disorders before being correctly diagnosed. This inability to correctly diagnose is not due to any form of medical inefficiency, but is due to the disease only being recognised in the last 9 years, and it's ability to mimic the symptoms of a number of well known and documented diseases. Even though I have a clinical diagnosis of APLS, wear an SOS Talisman bracelet and carry a medical fact card on me, in an emergency the Accident and Emergency doctors still insist on treating the possibly catastrophic events as a Migraine.

It carries away waste matter and carbon dioxide, and brings nourishment, electrolytes, hormones, vitamins, antibodies, heat, and oxygen to the tissues.
