21) Many bank on me day to day. But for all that I do, people often give me away. I'm there if you're feeling blue or raging with anger. I'm commonly found in Shakespeare and I've even been in one holy book. A part of me thinks I would be useless in a gun, but sci-fi films think otherwise. I guess they look on my positive side. I just go with the flow. What am I? A: Blood [More than 38,000 blood donations are needed every day in the USA alone. Just 1 donation can save up to 3 lives. Human blood is red because of the protein haemoglobin. The bluish color of veins is only an optical illusion. Blue light does not penetrate as far into tissue as red light. Emotions like anger make stress hormones, including adrenaline and cortisol, speed up your heart rate and breathing. You get a burst of energy. Your blood vessels tighten. Your blood pressure soars. The word "blood" Is mentioned 109 Times in Macbeth and it is a common word found throughout the works of Shakespeare. Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein supposedly commissioned a copy of the Qur'an, the Islamic holy book, to be written in his blood. He reportedly donated 27 litres for the project. Blood would be useless in a gun but in a lot of sci-fi films there are 'plasma' guns. The main role of plasma in blood is to take nutrients, hormones, and proteins to the parts of the body that need it. Around 30% of donors have A positive blood, making it the second most common blood type after O positive (36%). The 5 quarts of blood an adult male continually flows at an average speed of 3 to 4 mph.. That's fast enough so that a drug injected into an arm reaches the brain in only a few seconds]
