Expert Solution

The path that RBC has to follow is as mentioned below:

right subclavian vein --> right brachiocephalic vein --> superior vena cava --> right atrium --> right ventricle--> pulmonary artery --> lungs --> pulmonary vein--> left atrium --> left ventricle --> aorta --> left carotid artery

Draw the set of blood vessels that a red blood cell could use to get from the thorax to the palm of the hand. Now draw the veins that the same cell could use to return to the thorax. Which of the two drawing (arteries or veins) has more potential paths for the red blood cell to take? Why is this the case?

The cell membranes of mammalian red blood cells are permeable to urea. If red blood cells are dropped into a solution of urea that is identical in osmotic pressure (isosmotic) to the cytoplasm of the cells, although the cells do not swell and burst as quickly as when they are dropped simply into pure water, they eventually swell and burst. Explain. Also discuss how you would design a solution into which red cells could be placed without ever swelling. (Hint:...

A model of a red blood cell portrays the cell as a spherical capacitor, a positively charged liquid sphere of surface area A separated from the surrounding negatively charged fluid by a membrane of thickness t. Tiny electrodes introduced into the interior of the cell show a potential difference of 100 mV across the membrane. The membrane's thickness is estimated to be 103 nm and has a dielectric constant of 5.00. (a) If an average red blood cell has a...
