The Different Blood Groups And Blood Clotting Process | My Journey In Science 4

-

 




Today is September 21, 2020 and it's our fourth meeting on our Science class. It's another interesting topic we discussed today. It's about the different blood groups and blood clotting process. We started our class with an opening prayer lead by Kaila. But before we proceed with our discussion, Sir Mariano asked us some questions. And I was called by our teacher. The question is "What happens when the white blood cells is more than red blood cells?" and then I answer it's about Infection. My other classmates also answer the same but some of them said it's from Anemia, stress, etc.



I have learned a lot in our topic today that I did not know about or understand before


. First is the composition of the blood which is composed of two parts: the liquid portion called plasma and the formed elements called corpuscles. The volume of blood centrifuged wherein plasma is the liquid part, which comprises 55% of the blood by weight. While the corpuscles are the solid part that are suspended in the plasma and comprises 45% of the blood weight. The different formed elements consists of the red blood cells(RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs) and blood platelets.
Another interesting topic we discussed is about AB0 Blood Relationship.


 AB0 BLOOD RELATIONSHIP

Are you familiar with AB0 Blood Relationship? Well if not, I'll show it to you! 




Well as you all know, we all have different blood types, there's A,B,0, and AB. Always remember that 0 is the ''universal donor'' because Blood Type 0 can give or donate in all the blood type. It may give blood but it can't receive blood from other blood type except from itself/ same blood type. And the Blood Type AB is the ''universal receiver'' because it can receive all kinds of blood type but cannot give/ donate on others except from itself/ same blood type. Still don't get it? Read this! 


                                       

 Receive:                                       Give:

 0 ==> A, B, AB, 0                        0 = 0

 A ==> A, 0                                   A ==> AB, B

 B ==> 0, B                                   B ==> AB, B

 AB ==> AB                                 AB ==> AB

  

RHESUS




As you can see on the picture, A person with Rh- can develop Rh antibodies in the blood plasma if he or she receives blood from a person with Rh+ blood, whose Rh antigens can trigger the production of Rh antibodies.




The blood clotting process consists of events involving the thrombocytes, some enzymes, minerals, and blood proteins presents in the plasma.



And that's it for today! I hope you learned something new today.  Thanks for visiting and reading!

Electron Configuration and Noble Gases | My Journey In Science 4

-

Today, we just recapped about the lesson we tackled last meeting which is about the Atomic Bond, Octet Rule, and the Valence Electrons. Our teacher assigned us to identify the electron configuration of the other elements using the noble gases and the Pauli's Exclusion Principle.                       Above is one of the example our teacher assigned us to do. We first used the Noble Gas notation then after that we used the Electron Configuration which is the longest one to write.  We use noble gases to add shortcut on the Electron Configuration. W e will just follow the next aufbau principle with the last aufbau principle with the noble gas provided. For the Electron Configuration, we are just going to follow the aufbau principle until it reaches the exact amount of the atomic number of the element we need.

THE PHYSICISTS| My Journey In Science 4

  Research for the following personality: 1.1 Ernest Rutherford Ernest Rutherford is the father of nuclear chemistry and nuclear physics. He discovered and named the atomic nucleus, the proton, the alpha particle, and the beta particle. He discovered the concept of nuclear half-lives and achieved the first deliberate transformation of one element into another, fulfilling one of the ancient passions of the alchemists. 1.2 Niels Bohr Niels Bohr completely transformed our view of the atom and of the world. Realizing that classical physics fails catastrophically when things are atom-sized or smaller, he remodeled the atom so electrons occupied ‘allowed’ orbits around the nucleus while all other orbits were forbidden. In doing so he founded quantum mechanics. Later, as a leading architect of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, he helped to reshape our understanding of how nature operates at the atomic scale. 1.3 Max Planck Max Planck changed physics and our understanding...
