| | Blood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Blood transfusion is the most direct therapeutic use of blood. | | | The blood is circulated around the lungs and body by the pumping action of the heart. | | | One of the most basic is the use of blood as a symbol for family relationships; to be "related by blood" is to be related by ancestry or descendance, rather than marriage. |

| | Plasma Viscosity & Blood Viscoelasticity |
| | When flows are changing with time, such as blood flow in the human circulation, the liquid generally demonstrates both a viscous and an elastic effect, both of which determine the stress-to-strain rate relationship. | | | Now extensive basic research on blood viscoelasticity and the factors affecting it has provided a firm foundation for the increasing interest in viscoelasticity among researchers in clinical medicine and physiology. | | | For example, the viscoelasticity of an individual's blood changes significantly as the result of cardiopulmonary bypass surgery (Figure 3). |

Life, Death, and Plasma on the Las Vegas Strip |
| | When I noticed that my notes, thoughts, experiences, beliefs, and observations regarding my plasma- donating experiences were often contradictory with each other, I realized that my approach needed to be changed. | | | The study began as a "modern" ethnography, using participant observation, of a plasma-buying clinic. | | | During our earlier encounter, she was indifferent to me and seemed to regard me as more of a necessary burden than a supplier of her life. |

| | During the hours I stood at Bud's bedside watching his agonizing death and feeling as though my heart was being ripped from my chest, I realized that all over the world other people would die that same gruesome death, and those who loved them would stand in pools of their blood as they died. | | | Sue and I took turns leaning over Bud and resting our cheeks lightly against his forehead while the other held his hand or massaged lotion into his feet. | | | The nurses had been very concerned about Sue's and my safety, as we refused to wear rubber gloves, and continually stroked, massaged and kissed him freely. |
