Blood plasma is the liquid component of blood, in which the blood cells are suspended. Serum is the same as blood plasma except that clotting factors (such as fibrin) have been removed.\n\nPlasma resembles whey in appearance (transparent with a faint straw colour). It is mainly composed of water, blood proteins, and inorganic electrolytes. It serves as transport medium for glucose, lipids, hormones, metabolic end products, carbon dioxide and oxygen. (Oxygen transport capacity of plasma is much lower than that of the hemoglobin in the red blood cells; it may increase under hyperbaric conditions.) Plasma is the storage and transport medium of clotting factors and its protein content is necessary to maintain the oncotic pressure of the blood.\n\n*As a side note: you can also donate your plasma for money. Just look up clinics in your area.

Do a Yahoo search on African American dermotologists in New York.  You may come up with doctors who specialize in African American skin or ones who are African American.  Plus you can find one that is close to you.  Hope this helps.

There are blood banks in quite a few cities in Oklahoma.  In Norman, one of them (at least it was, still should be) was on Campus Corner.  Just look them up in a phone book or Internet yellow pages.

You may want to reword the question. Plasma is a constituent of blood. \nFake blood (the red blood cell part) can be made using porphyrin chemistry.

The most interesting question of the day, so I had to do some research. While I thought it was impossible because of the antigens present in blood types, this article seems to indicate that it can be done. That sure will relieve blood supply issues.

on red blood cells there are two major antigens A and B among other minor antigens.these designate one's blood group.\nBlood group O is indicative of one having no blood group antigens on his/her red blood cells.\nfor any blood group antigen there's a corresponding blood group antibody in the blood fluid i.e plasma or serum.for example if you are blood group A then your blood will have antibody B,if you have blood group B then you have antibody A.however if one is blood group O then that means that you have both antibodies A and B,and if you are blood group AB then you have no major blood group antibodies i.e neither antibody A nor B is present in your plasma.now if a blood group A person receives any blood group other than A or O then the antibodies in the plasma cause clumping(coming together)of the foreign blood cells.this causes blocking of the blood vessels with disastrous results.please note that it's the foreign blood cells that are clumped by the native antibodies if they match i.e A with Antibody A,B with antibody B,O with either A or B and AB by none.for this reason O can donate blood to any blood group but cannot receive blood except from another O and AB can receive blood from anyone but cannot donate their blood to anyone except AB.there is another group of antigens known as the rhesus factors.one is either rhesus positive(+) or negative(-).therefore a blood group O+ can donate blood to any rhesus+ blood group and blood group AB+ can receive any rhesus+ blood group.hence to answer your question blood group O can take blood only from an O of the correct rhesus factor

I found out that my family is the longest recorded black family in the united states from www.genealogy.com and it showed me the whole tree, just from my dad's name.\n\nI'm a lucky dude, you might be too check it out.

It's not an all or nothing thing, actually. Other races can get it, although it is far more common among blacks. The reason for this is that sickle cell is a genetic trait that confers advantange to those living in malaria-prone areas of the world, of which many parts of Africa and the Mediterranean are included. Sickle cell trait carriers are more resistant to malaria (as the parasite cannot survive well in sickled cells), and thus they passed this on to at least some of their children. In order to have the full-blown anemia, you must inherit the gene from BOTH parents.

I wish I was black. Seems like they got bigger muscles in every part of the body, especially the *cough*.

If by redbone, you mean a fair skinned african american, you can test your heritage via kits sold at http://africanancestry.com/shop.htm. I plan on doing it.\n\nLots of people are doing this now and have discovered fascinating things about their backgrounds. For example, Prof. Henry Louis Gates, who is head of Harvard's African-American Studies program, found that he may be 50% white.\n\nIf your dad says you are, why don't you believe him? There are plenty of fair skinned people with black heritage: Mariah Carey, Wentworth Miller and more. See www.mixedfolks.com for other examples.\n\nAnd I'm curious to know what acting white or acting black is in your opinion. We're all products of our environments.

"In the 12th century, the Arab physician Albucasis wrote of a family whose males died of bleeding after minor injuries. Then, in 1803, Dr. John Conrad Otto, a Philadelphia physician, wrote an account about "a haemorrhagic disposition existing in certain families." He recognized that the disorder was hereditary and that it affected males and rarely females. He was able to trace the disease back to a woman who settled near Plymouth in 1720. The first usage of the term "haemophilia" appears in a description of the condition written by Hopff at the University of Zurich in 1828. In 1937, Patek and Taylor, two doctors from Harvard, discovered anti-hemophilic globulin. Pavlosky, a doctor from Buenos Aires, found Haemophilia A and Haemophilia B to be separate diseases by doing a lab test. This test was done by transferring the blood of one haemophiliac to another haemophiliac. The fact that this corrected the clotting problem showed that there was more than one form of haemophilia."

The first documented case was in 1959 in the Congo, the only reason we even know is that the man was sick and they took and froze his blood. The linked article is fairly recent and explains the origins of HIV and the method they used to find it.
