Nicotine, one of the components of cigarettes, slows cilia" lining the respiratory tract, causes blood vessels to con­strict, and increases heart rate. Another component of cigarette smoke is carbon monoxide. As you have read, carbon monoxide competes with oxygen for binding sites on the hemoglobin molecule found in red blood cells. Analyse the data presented, and describe the potential dangers associated with smoking.

Hematology

Hematology is the branch of biology. Hematology is the medical field that deals with the treatment of blood disorders and cancers, such as hemophilia, leukemia, lymphoma, and sickle-cell anemia. Hematologists and hematopathologists are medical professionals who specialize in illnesses of the blood and its components.
