What does an erythrocyte gain by the loss of its nucleus and organelles? What three cellular processes can it no longer engage in due to the loss of its (a) nucleus and (b) mitochondria?
Why should mitochondria be larger and more abundant in cardiac muscle than in skeletal muscle?
The heart of a normally developing human fetus has a hole between the left and right atria. In some cases, this hole does not close completely before birth. If the hole weren’t surgically corrected, how would it affect the O2 content of the blood entering the systemic circuit?
