商品描述
Every day, millions of people have diagnostic laboratory tests or donate blood. Why is blood so important? Blood reaches every remote corner of our being, provides nutrients, carries oxygen, and removes impurities from tissues. Blood is not only a transport and defense system, but it also plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of all the other body systems and organs. All living beings (whether they are warm-blooded such as mammals and birds or cold-blooded such as insects, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrate animals) live thanks to blood, which is essential for life. We all take for granted its existence and importance, without knowing what it contains and its countless and amazing properties.
This book is a voyage we would like to take with our readers: it is organized into 4 parts going from the history of blood in religion and ancient populations via the basic science of blood, disorders that we all hear about every day, through to the use of blood and its components in treating several diseases.
The Authors have written this book because of their longstanding academic experience in the science related to blood and to disseminate their knowledge to the widest possible audience. This work has been designed to be as comprehensible as possible to diverse groups of individuals who are interested in science in general and in blood in particular. In addition, because several technical terms may not be familiar to the readers a detailed glossary is provided.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
每一天，數百萬人接受診斷實驗室檢測或捐獻血液。為什麼血液如此重要？血液到達我們身體的每一個偏遠角落，提供營養，攜帶氧氣，並清除組織中的雜質。血液不僅是一個運輸和防禦系統，還在維持所有其他身體系統和器官的平衡中扮演著至關重要的角色。所有生物（無論是像哺乳動物和鳥類這樣的溫血動物，還是像昆蟲、爬行類、兩棲類和無脊椎動物這樣的冷血動物）都依賴血液生存，血液對生命至關重要。我們都理所當然地認為它的存在和重要性，而不知道它所含的成分及其無數驚人的特性。
本書是我們希望與讀者共同踏上的一段旅程：它分為四個部分，從血液在宗教和古代人群中的歷史開始，經過血液的基本科學、我們每天都聽到的各種疾病，直到血液及其成分在治療多種疾病中的應用。
作者撰寫本書是基於他們在與血液相關的科學領域的長期學術經驗，並希望將他們的知識傳播給盡可能廣泛的讀者群。本書旨在使對科學（特別是血液）感興趣的不同群體能夠盡可能理解。此外，由於一些技術術語可能對讀者來說不太熟悉，因此提供了詳細的術語表。
