Hematic System Open Access Articles

The hematic system consists of blood and the vessels that hold the blood throughout the body. The solid blood component consists of three different types of cells: erythrocytes-also known as red blood cells ( RBCs), which hold oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body. A protein-iron pigment called hemoglobin is the medium for this transport. Leukocytes-also known as white blood cells (ABCs), which defend the body against microorganisms, are further subclassified as two major forms of WBCs: granulocytes and agranulocytes (monocytes and lymphocytes) thrombocytes-also known as clotting cells , cell fragments or platelets. Homeostasis, or a "stable state," is an ongoing balancing act of body systems to establish a life-compatible internal environment. The body's two liquid tissues, blood and lymph, have distinct but interrelated functions to maintain this equilibrium. They work with the immune system to protect the body from pathogens which can threaten the viability of the organism. The hematic and lymphatic systems flow through separate and interconnected channels. Both are vessel and liquid structures that flow into them. The immune system, a very complex collection of defensive measures for the body, contains blood and lymphatic cells. Open access to the scientific literature means removing barriers to accessing scholarly work (including price barriers). There are two parallel open access roads: Open access papers and self-archiving. Open Access papers are available on their website instantly, free of charge, a model largely funded by fees charged by the author.
