(1)
To determine: The sequence of the blood vessel and heart chambers through which a red blood cell pass on its way from the carotid artery to the superior vena cava.
Introduction: Most of the vertebrates have two types of circulation including pulmonary and systemic circulation in blood vessels. Pulmonary circulation circulates the deoxygenated blood to the lungs, to make it oxygenated and then it passes the blood to the heart. Systemic circulation circulates the oxygenated blood from the heart to the other body tissues and then revert the deoxygenated blood back to the heart.

To determine: The sequence of the blood vessels and heart chambers through which a red blood cell pass on its way from the renal vein to the renal artery.
Introduction: Most of the vertebrates have two types of circulation including pulmonary and systemic circulation in blood vessels. Pulmonary circulation circulates the deoxygenated blood to the lungs, to make it oxygenated and then it passes the blood to the heart. Systemic circulation circulates the oxygenated blood from the heart to the other body tissues and then revert the deoxygenated blood back to the heart.

- What structural features of capillaries allow the exchange of materials between blood and body cells?arrow_forwardThe 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?arrow_forwardWhat is the substance thatstimulates the production ofred blood cells? Which is theorgan that secretes it? Underwhat conditions does thissecretion increase?arrow_forward
- A patient has had a serious accident and lost a lot of blood. In an attempt to replenish body fluids, a large amount of distilled water was transferred directly into one of his veins. What will be the most probable result of this transfusion?arrow_forwardIs red blood cells(erythrocytes) considered true cells histologically? Why or why not? Explainarrow_forwardWhat force is responsible for moving fluids out of capillaries at the arteriole end and moving fluids back into the capillary at the venule end? What happens to fluids that do not re-enter the capillaries?arrow_forward
