ʻO ke ola e holo nei ma o ko mākou kino: ʻO ka mea e pono ai ʻoe e ʻike e pili ana i ke koko

Ua noʻonoʻo paha ʻoe i ka hana kupaianaha a kēia wai ʻulaʻula e kahe mau ana ma ko kākou kino, i kapa ʻia ʻo ke koko? E like me ke kalaka e lawe ana i nā waiwai i ke kūlanakauhale, lawe ke koko i nā mea a kākou e pono ai i kēlā me kēia ʻāpana o ko kākou kino a hoʻoneʻe i nā mea ʻaʻole kākou e pono ai. He mea nui ia no ko kākou ola. I kēia lā, e kamaʻilio kākou e pili ana i kēia wai hāʻawi ola.

He aha ke koko? No ke aha he mea nui ia iā kākou?

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, he wai koʻikoʻi ke koko e lawe ana i ka oxygen a me nā meaʻai i nā ʻiʻo o ko kākou kino, a hoʻoneʻe i nā huahana ʻōpala mai kēlā mau ʻiʻo. I nā huaʻōlelo ʻē aʻe, ke neʻe mau nei ke koko ma o ko kākou kino, e kōkua ana i ka mālama ʻana i ko kākou kino i ke olakino.

Eia kekahi o nā hana nui o ke koko:

• ʻO ka oxygen e komo i loko o ko kākou mau māmā i ka wā e hanu ai kākou a me nā meaolaola a kākou e loaʻa ai mai ka meaʻai a kākou e ʻai ai ua lawe ʻia i kēlā me kēia ʻāpana liʻiliʻi o ko kākou kino.
• Kōkua ia i ka lawe ʻana i nā huahana ʻōpala, e like me ke kalapona ʻokikene, i hana ʻia i loko o nā pūnaewele hoʻi i nā māmā a me nā puʻupaʻa a hoʻoneʻe iā lākou mai ke kino.
• Mālama lākou iā mākou mai nā maʻi ma o ke kaua ʻana i nā germs e komo i ke kino.
• Ke hōʻeha ʻia mākou , kū mai nā ʻūpā koko e hoʻōki ai i ke kahe ʻana o ke koko.
• Hoʻomalu a kaulike ia i ka mahana o ke kino a me ke koko.

ʻEhā mau ʻāpana nui o ke koko. Hana pū kēia mau ʻāpana ʻehā e hoʻokō i kēia mau hana āpau.

Aia ma hea ke koko? Pehea i hana ʻia ai?

Ke kahe nei ke koko ma loko o ka ʻōnaehana kaapuni o ko kākou kino. E noʻonoʻo i ko kākou puʻuwai e like me ka pamu wai. Hoʻouna kēia pamu i ke koko ma loko o ke kino ma o nā kīʻaha koko.

• Nā Arteries: ʻO kēia nā kīʻaha koko e lawe ana i ke koko maʻemaʻe a waiwai i ka oxygen mai ka puʻuwai a i ke koena o ke kino.
• ʻO nā veins: ʻO kēia nā kīʻaha e lawe ana i ke koko i hoʻohana ʻia, nele i ka oxygen mai nā ʻiʻo o ke kino i ka puʻuwai.
• Nā Capillaries: ʻO kēia nā ʻōmole lahilahi loa e hoʻopili ai i nā aʻa a me nā veins. Hoʻololi ʻia nā meaʻai a me ka oxygen ma waena o nā cell ma o kēia mau capillaries.

I kēia manawa, e nānā kākou i kahi e hana ʻia ai ke koko. ʻO ka hale hana nui kahi e hana ʻia ai ke koko aia i loko o ko kākou mau iwi . Kāhea mākou i kēia he iwi iwi . Aia i loko o kēia iwi iwi kekahi ʻano cell kūikawā, i kapa ʻia he mau cell kumu. ʻO nā cell a pau i loko o ko kākou koko, e like me nā cell koko ʻulaʻula, nā cell koko keʻokeʻo a me nā platelets, ua hana ʻia mai kēia mau cell kumu. Ma hope o ko lākou oʻo ʻana, hui lākou me nā kīʻaha koko.

E nānā kākou i nā mea i loko o ke koko.

He 5 lita ke koko o ke kāne makua i loko o kona kino. He 4 lita ko ka wahine. ʻO ke koko he 8% o ke kaumaha o ko kākou kino. Inā mākou e nānā i ke ʻano o kēia koko:

• Plasma: He 55% wale nō kēia o ke koko.
• Nā Kelepona Koko ʻUlaʻula: Hana kēia i kahi 44% o ke koko.
• Nā Kelepona Koko Keʻokeʻo a me nā Platelets: ʻO kēia mau mea ʻelua e hui pū ʻia he wahi liʻiliʻi, ma kahi o 1%.

Plasma

He wai melemele kēia. ʻOi aku ma mua o 90% ka wai. Eia kekahi, ua hoʻoheheʻe ʻia nā protein a me nā paʻakai i loko. ʻO ka hana nui o ka plasma ka lawe ʻana i nā hunaola koko ʻē aʻe a me nā mea pono ma ke kino holoʻokoʻa.

Nā Kelepona Koko ʻUlaʻula

ʻO ke kala ʻulaʻula ma muli o kahi protein i kapa ʻia ʻo hemoglobin . ʻO ka hemoglobin ka mea e lawe ai i ka oxygen ma ke kino holoʻokoʻa. ʻO ke ola o kahi hunaola koko ʻulaʻula ma kahi o 120 mau lā. I ka make ʻana o nā hunaola kahiko, hana ʻia nā hunaola hou i loko o ka iwi iwi.

Nā Kelepona Koko Keʻokeʻo

ʻO kēia nā koa o kā mākou ʻōnaehana pale . Ua like lākou me nā mākaʻi i loko o ko mākou kino. Ke hele mai nā ʻenemi e like me nā huakini hoʻoulu maʻi a me nā hunaola kanesa, hele kēia mau hunaola koko keʻokeʻo e kaua a pale iā mākou. Nui nā ʻano o kēia.

Nā Platelets

He mau ʻāpana cell kēia i like me nā ʻāpana papa. Ke ʻoki ʻoe i kou lima, e pau ke kahe ʻana o ke koko ma hope o kekahi manawa ma muli o kēia mau platelets. ʻO lākou ka poʻe e hele koke mai a pani i ka ʻeha a kau i kahi 'plaster' ma luna e hoʻōki i ke kahe ʻana o ke koko.

He aha nā maʻi maʻamau e hoʻopilikia ai i ke koko?

E like me nā mea ʻē aʻe, hiki i ko kākou koko ke loaʻa nā maʻi like ʻole. Hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale nui ʻia kēia mau mea i ʻelua mau ʻano.

Ka maʻi ʻaʻai koko

Hana ʻia ke kanesa koko ke hoʻomaka ka ulu wikiwiki ʻana o nā hunaola koko ʻē ma muli o nā loli ʻana i loko o nā genes e hana ana i nā hunaola koko.

• Leukemia
• ʻO ka maʻi ʻōpū
• Myeloma

Nā maʻi koko ʻē aʻe

ʻO kēia nā kūlana ʻaʻole maʻi kanesa kahi hiki ʻole i nā hunaola koko ke hana pono i kā lākou hana.

• Anemia: ʻO kēia ka maʻi koko maʻamau. I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, ʻo ka anemia ka wā ʻaʻole lawa nā hunaola koko ʻulaʻula olakino o ke kino. Ua lohe paha ʻoe i ka anemia nele i ka hao . ʻO ia ke ʻano maʻamau.
• Nā Maʻi ʻAʻa Koko: ʻO kēia nā pilikia me nā platelets, a i ʻole nā ​​​​protein e kōkua i ke kāpili ʻana o ke koko.
• Nā Maʻi Koko: He kūlana kēia kahi i ʻole ai ke koko e paʻa maʻamau. Hiki i kēia ke hoʻoulu i ke kahe koko nui mai kahi ʻeha liʻiliʻi. ʻO Hemophilia kahi laʻana kaulana o kēia kūlana.

Pehea ʻoe e ʻike ai inā he pilikia me kou koko?

ʻO ke ala maikaʻi loa e ʻike pono ai inā he pilikia me kou koko, ʻo ia ka hana ʻana i kahi hoʻāʻo koko . Eia nō naʻe, hāʻawi pū kou kino iā ʻoe i kekahi mau hōʻailona.

ʻO nā hōʻailona maʻamau o ka pilikia koko:

• Luhi a me ka luhi nui: Hiki i kēia ke lilo i hōʻailona koʻikoʻi o ka anemia.
• Maʻi pinepine: Ke emi nā hunaola koko keʻokeʻo, nāwaliwali ka ʻōnaehana pale kino a piʻi aʻe ka pilikia o ka maʻi.
• ʻO ka palapū i wehewehe ʻole ʻia a i ʻole ke kahe koko nui mai nā ʻeha liʻiliʻi: He hōʻailona paha kēia o ka helu platelet haʻahaʻa.

ʻO kekahi mea ʻē aʻe, he spleen i hoʻonui ʻia . ʻO ka spleen kahi ʻōkana e kānana a hoʻomaʻemaʻe i ko kākou koko. Ke loaʻa kahi pilikia me nā hunaola koko, pono ia e hana ikaika a hiki ke pehu.

He waiwai nui ko kākou koko. Ua like ia me ka wahie e hāʻawi ai i ke ola i ko kākou kino. No laila, he mea nui loa ka mālama ʻana i ke olakino o ke koko.
