Blood is a specialized bodily fluid (technically a tissue) that is composed of a liquid called blood plasma and blood cells suspended within the plasma. The blood cells present in blood are red blood cells (also called RBCs or erythrocytes), white blood cells (including both leukocytes and lymphocytes) and platelets (also called thrombocytes). Plasma is predominantly water containing dissolved proteins, salts and many other substances; and makes up about 55% of blood by volume. Mammals have red blood, which is bright red when oxygenated, due to hemoglobin. Some animals, such as the horseshoe crab use hemocyanin to carry oxygen, instead of hemoglobin.

By far the most abundant cells in blood are red blood cells. These contain hemoglobin, an iron-containing protein, which facilitates transportation of oxygen by reversibly binding to this respiratory gas and greatly increasing its solubility in blood. In contrast, carbon dioxide is almost entirely transported extracellularly dissolved in plasma as bicarbonate ion. White blood cells help to resist infections and parasites, and platelets are important in the clotting of blood.

Blood is circulated around the body through blood vessels by the pumping action of the heart. Arterial blood carries oxygen from inhaled air to the tissues of the body, and venous blood carries carbon dioxide, a waste product of metabolism produced by cells, from the tissues to the lungs to be exhaled.

Medical terms related to blood often begin with hemo- or hemato from the Greek word "αἷμα" for "blood." Anatomically and histologically, blood is considered a specialized form of connective tissue, given its origin in the bones and the presence of potential molecular fibers in the form of fibrinogen.

Blood accounts for 7% of the human body weight, with an average density of approximately 1060 kg/m³, very close to pure water's density of 1000 kg/m3.The average adult has a blood volume of roughly 5 litres, composed of plasma and several kinds of cells (occasionally called corpuscles); these formed elements of the blood are erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells) and thrombocytes (platelets). By volume the red blood cells constitute about 45% of whole blood, the plasma constitutes about 55%, and white cells constitute a minute volume.

Whole blood plasma and cells exhibits non-Newtonian fluid dynamics; its flow properties are adapted to flow effectively through tiny capillary blood vessels with less resistance than plasma by itself. In addition, if all human haemoglobin was free in the plasma rather than being contained in RBCs, the circulatory fluid would be too viscous for the cardiovascular system to function effectvely.

Vampires are mythological or folkloric beings that are renowned for subsisting on human blood or lifeforce, but in some cases may prey on animals. Although vampires have different characteristics depending on which lore you are reading, in most cases, they are described as reanimated corpses who feed by draining and consuming the blood of living beings. Which might we add is a load of crap!

In folklore, the term commonly applies to the undead, blood-drinking beings of Eastern European myths, but in some cases 'vampire' is used to describe other similar entities from other cultures and regions. Indeed, some cultures also have stories of non-human vampires, including real animals such as bats, dogs, spiders and mythical creatures such as the chupacabra. Vampires are a frequent subject of modern fictional books and films, although fictional vampires are often attributed traits distinct from those of original folkloric vampires. folklore is folklore. meaning THAT ITS IS NOT TRUE TO THE FACTS.

Vampirism is the practice of drinking blood or lifeforce from a living being. The historical practice of vampirism can generally be considered a more specific and less commonly occurring form of cannibalism. In folklore and popular culture, the term often refers to a belief that one can gain supernatural powers by drinking human blood. Which is also another form of rubbish! there is no power in blood to be taken in order to sustain power in another? whats not there cannot be taken? even if you do think that your a vampire and you start spouting this shit, people will know your a lier and doubts will follow. The consumption of another's blood, or flesh, has been used in the past as a tactic of psychological warfare intended to terrorize the enemy and can be used to reflect various spiritual beliefs. In zoology and botany, the term vampirism is occasionally used in references to the acquisition of bodily fluids from other organisms by animals such as leeches, mosquitos, mistletoe and vampire bats in order to gain the sustenance that they need to survive.

It is commonly accepted in modern cultural depictions that if you are to be bitten by a vampire, you will most certainly become one yourself. which is a load of bunkum, you get bitten by a vampire it is excatly that! bitten! you cannot change, we do not have venom like substances in our teeth that changes you. i do not know how we can put this across to some folk as people are hard to convince but VAMPIRES ARE PURE, THEY ARE BORN. 100% of people who have been turned by a vampire into a being is a miracle, most die within a week of this transfution and tranformation. which makes the population of vampires made very little. how can we get this over to mortals, that MADE VAMPIRE THERE ARE 10 IN EVERY 2000 THAT HAVE ACTUALLY LIVED. again fiction has had it come across that vampires are MADE when they are NOT in real life. VAMPIRES ARE BORN,


NOW TO SOME FICTION
However, in original vampire folklore,let me remeind you again in case you haven't taken it in that its FICTION,NOT REAL, MADE UP, the causes were far more varied. In Romanian mythology alone there were many causes of vampires other than being the victim of vampirism; if a pregnant woman was stared at by someone who was a vampire, there was a high risk of your baby becoming a vampire. In addition to this, any corpse which had a cat or dog jump over it would also become one of the undead or if a body had a wound which had not been treated with boiling water. And in Russian mythology, vampires were said to have once been witches while they were living, or people who rebelled against the church.

Practises often arose, in the fear of loved ones becoming vampires themselves, that were intended to prevent a person turning into an undead revenant. Burying a corpse upside-down was a common prevention method, as well as placing earthly objects, such as scythes or sickles, near the grave to satisfy any demons entering the body or to

Intentional Psychic Vampires are humans whom possess great telepathic abilities. They use these abilities to knowingly draw the life force from others.

These vampires seek out victims whom they can interact with in order to create strong emotions in these victims, sexual intercourse usually being the biggest. At the peak of climax, the vampire will then absorb mental energy from the victims' aura. Some other vampires usually try a more subtle approach. They will attack the victim whilst they sleep. This often causes vivid dreams in which the victim will awake feeling drained and tired. A death from a Psychic Vampire is rare however.

The appearance of an Intentional Psychic Vampire is that of the usual human physic. They tend to pretend to be mortal blood drinkers. They are not immortal. Whilst in their psychic state, they cannot be destroyed by any physical means.

One out of every five is attacked by one of these vampires at least once in their lifetime. They usually start off practicing on others in groups or under group guidance. When they have mastered the dark art sufficiently enough, they move on to astral projecting themselves and commence feeding. After their death, they become something like wraiths, earthbound entities, and continue to feed in this manner in order to keep their astral forms from breaking down.

usually when they feed from others they admit a spark of light behind closed eye lids as they climax. this is the energy that they draw from there victims. this is how they know that they have been filled enough for one night. the more energy they feed from the more the spark or pricks of light behind the closed eyes lids come! if they over feed they can collapse into a coma like state to which they sleep for over 7days. some psychic vampires tends to enjoy the idea of causing pain whilst performing there feed! scratching and biting there sexual partner! and they feed from the pain caused!

most full blooded vampires are psychic also!
