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.
What are specialized groups of cells that are organized to perform specific functions?
In an adult organism most cells are specialized (only stem cells aren't). The types of specialized cells include blood cells, muscle cells, nerve cells, skin cells, liver cells, etc. Cells are orgainzed into organs, which collectively form bodies.
How does the body get rid of excess blood or does it need to?
Some of the blood is stored in the spleen to be released in causes of hemorrhage. When the blood cells are produced in excess of their need, the spleen, lymph nodes, bone marrow and the liver, which are collectively called the reticuloendothelial system, destroy them.
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.
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 are specialized cells and what type of organism are they found?
specialized cells are cells that exist for a specific function for example skin cells or brain cells or liver cells. all multicellular organisms have specialized cells. unicellular organisms do not because they have to carry out all the functions of an entire organism while a skin cell does not have to "worry" about cleaning toxins from the body for example.
Structural and functional unit of liver?
Its the liver cells called hepatocytes
The human liver contains many specialized cells that secrete bile Only these cells produce bile because?
different cells use different parts of the genetic information they contain.
Why do a brain cell and liver cell look and behave differently?
These cells have specialized functions in the body, which are different, and form follows function.
Where is the old red blood cells destroyed?
Red blood cells have a life span of about 120 days. They are formed in the bone marrow and destroyed by the reticuloendothelial cells present in spleen, liver, lymph nodes, brain, the heart or even in the muscles. Spleen is the major site of their destruction.
What is primary liver carcinoma?
It is a good question! Liver is a common site for the secondary invasion of almost all type of cancers. But liver cells are not immune from getting converted into cancer cells. When this happens, it is called as primary liver carcinoma.
Which organ cleans the blood coming from the digestive organs?
In general by the reticuloendothelial system. primarily in the spleen and the liver kidney. however C02 is expelled through lungs and thus blood is 'cleaned' there too.
