Normal hemoglobin levels:
   Older men: 12.4 to 14.9 gm/dL
   Older women:11.7 to 13.8 gm/dL

Possible causes for anemia is blood loss from an injury/surgery, not enough production of red blood cells, or it's happening too much destruction of red blood cells. (Whatever the cause is, the patient is losing blood)

To determine why, the doctor should request a blood test with the following information: Complete blood count (CBC) Iron levels and ferritin levels, Vitamin B12 and folate, Reticulocyte count, <span>Bilirubin and maybe some s</span>pecial blood tests to detect if the cause it's from a immune attack.
It's also possible to need a sample of bone marrow but it's rare.

d. The right ventricle contracts next, which forces blood up through the right semilunar valve which is otherwise known as the <em>pulmonary valve .</em>

e. After circulating through the <em>pulmonary capillaries</em>, the blood returns to the <em>left atrium. </em>

f. From the left atrium, blood moves through the left <em>atrioventricular valve </em>which is also referred to as the <em>bicuspid</em> or mitral valve.

b. From the left ventricle, the blood is pumped up to <em>aorta</em> the through the left semilunar valve which is sometimes referred to as the <em>aortic valve</em>.

Select TWO events that occur when a neurotransmitter binds and activates an excitatory synapse.
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Key points

Neurons communicate with one another at junctions called synapses. At a synapse, one neuron sends a message to a target neuron—another cell.

Most synapses are chemical; these synapses communicate using chemical messengers. Other synapses are electrical; in these synapses, ions flow directly between cells.

At a chemical synapse, an action potential triggers the presynaptic neuron to release neurotransmitters. These molecules bind to receptors on the postsynaptic cell and make it more or less likely to fire an action potential.
