OUR HAEMOGLOBIN ~ An Acrostic 3 ~ 11 Sonnet

BRIAN & ANGELA

 

HAEM COMBINES WITH OXYGEN TO FORM OXYHAEM ~ OK

 

OUR HAEMOGLOBIN  is very important to

US ALL !  Ensuring Oxygen in our blood stream

REALLY  as important as Chlorophyll is to a Plant !

 

HOW  does Haemoglobin transport the Oxygen ?

A MOLECULE of HAEM contains IRON which picks up O2

ENTERS the bloodstream and travels round the body

MAKING  Oxygen available to the cells ~ in the form of

OXYHAEMOGLOBIN !  It releases its Oxygen ~ and then

GOES  back to the Lungs and picks up more ~ ad infinitum

LEVELS of Haemoglobin (Red Cells) in the blood are key !

OUR HEARTS  need to be healthy ~ to pump Oxygenated

BLOOD  round our bodies  ~ and then deoxed blood back to

INTERFACE with the lungs to pick up more Oxygen

NOBODY can live without BLOOD & OXYGEN !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX

 

We can live THREE WEEKS without Food ~ THREE DAYS

without Water ~ but only THREE MINUTES without Oxygen.

Your LUNG / HEART system is your LIFE !  HEAM molecules

are contained in HAEMOGLOBIN which is synthesised in

the bone marrow ~ it takes 10 minutes to synthesis one

"Molecule" of HAEMOGLOBIN ~ we need IRON in our diet !

The diagram shows how HEAM is converted into OXYHAEM

to transfer OXYGEN from the Lung Alveoli to the Pulmonary

Capilliaries ~ back to the PUMP (HEART !) and into the

ARTERIES !  The Deoxygenated Blood is pumped back to the

Lungs via the VEINS ~ We are wonderfully designed ~ AMEN

  • BRIAN & ANGELA

    BIOCHEMISTRY is a beautiful subject to study because it is all about LIFE ON EARTH and how it functions ! So far I have posted poems on CHLOROPHYLL ~ which is the CATALYST which enables green Plants to synthesise GLUCOSE and POLYGLUCOSE (starch & cellulose) to feed all the Animals ( including Humans) on planet Earth. My second on is on HAEMOGLOBIN ~ Red Blood Corpuscles which enable atmospheric OXYGEN to be carried to cells to turn GLUCOSE into energy and CO2 which we exhale ~ ENJOY~ BRIAN XOX

      HI FRIENDS ~ Thanks for reading and commenting ~ if you have any questions about BIOCHEMISTRY (The Princess of Sciences !) ~ Yours Scientifically ~ BRIAN XOX

    • Laura🌻

      Mio Caro Amico BRIAN,
      We certainly are well designed! Thank you for a great science lesson! An excellent reminder that we should take care of our body! Have an awesome weekend!
      Un Forte Abbraccio e Baci...
      ~Laura~

      • BRIAN & ANGELA

        GRAZIE LAURA ~ Mia Cara Amica ! My Mantra is a Healthy Mind & Spirit in a Healthy Body ! Who we are is GOD\'s GIFT to us ~ what we do with our Lives is OUR GIFT back to GOD ! Each of us is a unique Creation from our Birth Parents DNA and a special touch from GOD ~ AMEN Baci e Abbracci ~ BRIAN \"Il Uomo Biochemico !\" XOXOX

        Matters of the heart - and lungs, and whatever else! Oohh, staggers back in amazement at today's biology/science/etc lesson! I knew I wasn't doing something right. I tried not breathing for 24 hours one day. I didn't feel very well after 3 minutes. I reckon I was dead! (??? heehee).

      • orchidee

        Is the pulmonary artery the only artery that has deoxygenated blood? And the pulmonary vein the only vein that has oxygenated blood? I must know these things! ooh.

        • BRIAN & ANGELA

          Useful bit of Knowledge for a quiz on ANATOMY ! The definitiion of an ARTERY is a blood vessel that flows away from the HEART ~A VEIN flows into the HEART ! The pulmonary ARTERY flows FROM the heart to the LUNGS to oxygenate the BLOOD ~ The OXYGENATED blood flows back INTO the HEART through the pulmonary VEIN and is then pumped round the BODY through the ARTERIES ~ OK ~ Thanks for the Q ~ DOCTOR BRIAN

          Like being back at School but in a nice way - great piece of work Brian

          • BRIAN & ANGELA

            THANKS MICHAEL ~ PLEASED YOU ENJOYED IT ! My last two poems were just to remind people how vitally important ~ with respect to life on Earth ~ Things we take for granted are like GREEN GRASS & RED BLOOD ! Yours BRIAN

            This took me back more than 50 or so years when I was doing biology at school.

          • BRIAN & ANGELA

            Thanks ANDY ~ Molecular Biology opens the mind to the wonders of Biology ~ Form & Function ~ AMEN ! Pleased you enjoyed the NOSTALGIA evoked by a porphorin structure (with iron at its centre !) that is both perfect & practical ! Yours BRIAN

          • Christina8

            Wonderfully done, Brian! I love how you ended it--because we are all wonderfully designed! SIster Christina

          • BRIAN & ANGELA

            Well CHRIS the heart with its four chambers is good example of a perfectly designed Pump ! I know people in whom their heart has functioned perfectly for over 100 years ~ able to repair and adjust itself for the demands we make on it through LIFE. As you know HAEMOGLOBIN itself is a wonderful example of designer Form & Function. I look through a Telescope ~ GOD is there and when I look through a Light Microscope and especially an Electron Microscope ~ GOD is there also ! The Heavens declare the Glory of God and "Life on Earth" shows His Handiwork ~ AMEN Yours as always ~ BROTHER BRIAN
