Explanation / Answer

1 fill in the words or phases

a)erythrocyte contain an enzyme carbonic anhydrase,which catalyses the conversion of metabolically produced CO2 and water into carbonic acid.

b) Most Old erythrocytes are removed from circulation and destroyed by cells called macrophages,as they rupture passing through the narrow capillaries of th organ called the spleen, liver and red bone marrow.

c) undifferentiated cells called hematopoitic stem cells,reside in the bone marrow, where they continously divide and differentiate to give rise to each of the type of blood cells.

d) the process of leucocytes squeezing through the capillary walls to exit the vasculature is known as diapedesis once they live the blood stream to fight a pathological conditions, they never return.

e)the genetically determined glycoprotein and glycolipid antigens found on the surface of an erythrocyte are called agglutinogens and a person with agglutinins that react with type A and blood type B has type O blood.

f) During embryonic development, ninety-nine percent of the cardiac fibres are specialized for the function called contraction, whereas the remainder is specialized for inherent and rhythmical electrical activity(autorhythmic function)

g) the action potential delay at the atrioventricular node(AV node) ensures the atrial excitation and contraction are complete before ventricular excitation and contraction commence.

h) the end-systolic volume(ESV) is the volume of blood in the ventricle after ejection has been completed. an increase of this volume occurs when the stroke volume is decreased.

i)the three cations K+,Ca2+,and Na+ have an important effect of heart function. increasd blood levels of Na+blocks Ca2+ inflow and results in a decrease in the force of contraction, while an excess of K+ blocks the generation of action potentials.

j)an increase in parasympathetic activity stimulation has the following effect on stroke volume: decreases stroke volume ; an increase in parasympathetic activity weakens atrial contractility.
