what is the difference of human blood from animal blood as to their characteristics?

Answer 1

Blood is a complex mixture, composed of red and white blood cells, platelets that add coagulating, circulating in
blood plasma. The latter is a watery solution containing blood plasma proteins, and trace amounts of other materials.
Humans can't have transfusions of animal blood, because our immune system will recognize it as foreign and mount an immune response. Even an animal that are very similar to human, like monkeys, has enough differences in their proteins that our immune system will recognize it as different and foreign. The proteins are not entirely the same and different sugars on the cell surfaces can also be recognized by the immune system.

Mammal blood is similar though, as the main function are the same. Invertebra blood is another story.

Answer 2

(m)

depends on the animal. If it is a crustacean, it is because their blood is copper based, and not iron based.

If it is a bird or a mammal, it will be antibodies.

Antibodies are also why many people cannot have blood transfusions from other humans.

There are two main factors as to why. There is a gene that has three main alleles. An allele is a different type of gene located at the same place on the chromosome.

There are three main Blood types, called A, B and O. These are caused by different alleles located at the same place. A and B are co-dominate. That means if you have one gene for A and one gene for B you will be AB. O is recessive. If you have one gene for A and one for O you will be A.

A blood type can get A or O blood transfusions. B blood type can get B or O blood transfusions. O can only get O transfusions.

The second type of antibody is Rhesus negative and Rhesus positive. They have to be careful on what blood types they give people.

While there are three main groups, they have identified over 600 blood groups in humans so far. Blood transfusions must take account of these before giving from one person to another.

And the same reason is why animals don't give blood to humans. The antigens are even more different, and would kill the recipient.

Answer 3

A blood cell is any cell of any type normally found in blood. In mammals, these fall into three general categories:

Red blood cell, whose main purpose is the transport of oxygen;
White blood cell, which produces antibodies to fight infection;
Platelet, which is actually a fragment of the large bone marrow cells known as megakaryocytes and are important in blood clotting.
Together, these three kinds of blood cells sum up for a total 45% of blood tissue (55% is plasma).


The average adult has about five liters of blood living inside of their body, coursing through their vessels, delivering essential elements, and removing harmful wastes. Without blood, the human body would stop working.
Blood is the fluid of life, transporting oxygen from the lungs to body tissue and carbon dioxide from body tissue to the lungs. Blood is the fluid of growth, transporting nourishment from digestion and hormones from glands throughout the body. Blood is the fluid of health, transporting disease fighting substances to the tissue and waste to the kidneys.

Because it contains living cells, blood is alive. Red blood cells and white blood cells are responsible for nourishing and cleansing the body. Since the cells are alive, they too need nourishment. Vitamins and Minerals keep the blood healthy. The blood cells have a definite life cycle, just as all living organisms do.

Approximately 55 percent of blood is plasma, a straw-colored clear liquid. The liquid plasma carries the solid cells and the platelets which help blood clot. Without blood platelets, you would bleed to death.

When the human body loses a little bit of blood through a minor wound, the platelets cause the blood to clot so that the bleeding stops. Because new blood is always being made inside of your bones, the body can replace the lost blood. When the human body loses a lot of blood through a major wound, that blood has to be replaced through a blood transfusion from other people.

But everybody's blood is not the same. There are four different blood types. Plus, your blood has Rh factors which make it even more unique. Blood received through a transfusion must match your own. Patients who are scheduled to have major surgery make autologous blood donations (donations of their own blood) so that they have a perfect match.

Answer 4

Well... Monkeys and Apes and all those types have AIDS in their blood... but then again some people do too... however, the monkeys are immune o.O

Answer 5

Nothing for the most part. the immunities and viruses that humans carry are more intense. due to vactinations and such. if you break it add down to the basics they are the same.
