Indicate the structures that a red blood cell would pass through on its way from the transverse colon to the spleen?

Expert Solution

Pathway of red blood cell from transverse colon to spleen -

Middle colic vein ( supplies transverse colon) --> superior mesenteric vein ( middle colic vein drains into superior mesenteric vein ) --> portal vein ( superior and inferior mesenteric veins along with splenic vein drain into hepatic portal vein --> liver-->HepaticHepatic vein ( portal vein traverses liver and divides into sinusoids which then further drain into hepatic veins ) --> inferior vwna cava ( hepatic vein drains into inferior vena cava ) --> right atrium --> tricuspid valve --> right ventricle -->pulmonary semilunar valve --> pulmonary artery --> pulmonary capillaries in lungs --> pulmonary veins --> left atrium --> bicuspid valve --> left ventricle --> aortic valve--> ascending aorta --> arch of aorta --> descending aorta --> coeliac trunk --> splenic artery.

If HCO3- did not diffuse out of the red blood cell, what would occur? The red blood cell would become acidic. The pH of red blood cells would decrease. The plasma pH would be destabilized. Increased levels of Cl- would enter the red blood cell.

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:...
