What else can I help you with?
Is the liver composed of the body cells?
no. a kidney is not composed of body cells. but liver, sperm, and a single bone are composed of body cells. :)
What role does liver play in the life cycle of red blood cell?
The liver helps to recycle old and damaged red blood cells by breaking them down and reusing their components. This process occurs in the reticuloendothelial system of the liver, where macrophages phagocytize the damaged red blood cells and recycle their components such as iron and heme.
How does liver produce hydrochloric acid?
The liver does not produce hydrochloric acid. Hydrochloric acid is mainly produced in the stomach by specialized cells called parietal cells. These cells release hydrochloric acid to help break down food and aid in digestion.
What are the features of the particulate system?
If particles of 0.1 to 2.0 micrometres are injected intravenously, intraperitoneally, or intraarterially, these particles will be quickly cleared from the bloodstream by the reticuloendothelial system's macrophages before they are localised in the liver's Kupffer cells.
What type of epithelial tissue does the liver?
No. These are the cells that make up most of the liver's tissue and preform specialized liver functions. They contain organelles.
Where would you find the kupffer cells of the liver?
Kupffer cells are specialized macrophages found in the liver, specifically within the sinusoids, which are specialized blood vessels in the liver. They play a key role in the immune system by removing debris, pathogens, and other foreign particles from the blood passing through the liver.
Which process occurs when new liver cells are produced from old liver cells?
The process is called liver regeneration, where old liver cells divide to produce new liver cells. This helps in repairing damaged tissue and maintaining normal liver function.
How does blood get produced?
Red blood cells and white blood cells are produced in your red bone marrow. Albumin is produced in your liver. Globulin is produced in your reticuloendothelial system. Water and the electrolyte are taken from the intestine.
How are aged and damaged erythrocytes removed from circulation?
Aged and damaged erythrocytes are primarily removed from circulation by the spleen, where specialized macrophages recognize and phagocytize these defective cells. The liver also plays a role in this process, filtering blood and removing senescent red blood cells. In addition, the reticuloendothelial system contributes by breaking down hemoglobin from these cells, recycling iron and producing bilirubin as a byproduct. This ensures the maintenance of healthy red blood cell populations and proper metabolic functions.
Why is a liver cell different from a muscle cell and a muscle cell is different from a fat cell?
DNA is alike in other cells of the body, but depending on the specific cell type, some genes may be turned on or off. this is why a liver cell is different from a muscle cell and a muscle cell is different from a fat cell.
What are the examples of stable cells?
hepatocytes (liver cells) and cells in the kidney
Where are damaged red blood cells phagocytized?
Damaged red blood cells are phagocytized in the spleen, liver, and bone marrow by macrophages. These specialized immune cells engulf and break down the damaged cells to recycle their components like iron and proteins.
