Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The type of blood vessels that carries blood to the heart from tissues needs to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Blood is carried in different vessels and these are divided into three major types- arteries, veins and capillaries. These vessels have their own significance and functions.
(b)
Interpretation:
The type of the blood vessel that carries blood rich in the oxygen needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Blood vessels are of three different types and they are unique in their functions and structure. These three include the arteries, veins and capillaries.
(c)
Interpretation:
The type of the blood vessel that contains a thin cell from which water and small molecules can pass through needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Blood vessels have a definitive function to transport blood to the far corners of the body and they are of three different types which each have a specific function.

- 6-47 A student has a bottle labeled 0.750% albumin solution. The bottle contains exactly 5.00 mL. How much water must the student add to make the concentration of albumin become 0.125%?arrow_forwardExplain the cleansing action of soap.arrow_forwardA martini, weighing about 5.0 oz (142 g), contains 30.0% by mass of alcohol. About 15% of the alcohol in the martini passes directly into the bloodstream (7.0 L for an adult). Estimate the concentration of alcohol in the blood (g/cm3) of a person who drinks two martinis before dinner. (A concentration of 0.00080 g/cm3 or more is frequently considered indicative of intoxication in a normal adult.)arrow_forward
- A pharmacist prepares an isotonic saline solution for intravenous infusion. Instead of preparing a 0.15 M solution, a 1.5 M solution is prepared. What would happen to the red blood cells if this erroneously prepared solution is infused?arrow_forwardThe liquid portion of the blood is called: a. serum.c. plasma. b. gamma globulin.d. lymph.arrow_forwardWill red blood cells swell, remain the same size, or shrink when placed in each of the solutions in Problem 8-101? Classify each of the following solutions as hypotonic, isotonic, or hypertonic relative to red blood cells? a. 0.92%(m/v) glucose solution b. 0.92%(m/v) NaCl solution c. 2.3%(m/v) glucose solution d. 5.0%(m/v) NaCl solutionarrow_forward
- You have a 20% stock of NaCl, a 30% stock of K2HPO4, 2.5 M NH4Cl and 10 mg/ml stock of ampicillin. How many grams of NaCl would you need to weigh out to make up 250 ml stock solution?arrow_forwardFor each of the electrolytes measured in Suzie’s blood tests, indicate whether the test indicates the level is normal, below normal or above normal. Explain why these imbalances occur in anorexia. Sodium (Na+): 126 mmol/L Potassium (K+): 2.4 mmol/L Calcium (Ca2+): 2.9 mmol/L Glucose: 55 mg/mL Iron (Fe2+): 38 ug/dL (micrograms/deciliter) Protein (Albumin): 3.8 g/dLarrow_forwardUse the food dye interactive to answer the question. A series of dye solutions are made by adding water to the stock Blue 1 dye solution. Either the dilution ratio or the final concentration of the dye solution is given. Arrange the dye solutions from highest to lowest concentration. Highest concentration of dye 9.0 mL dye and 0.0 mL water 3.0 mL dye and 1.0 mL water 5.0 μM dye solution 2.0 mL dye and 6.0 mL water 1.0 mL dye and 1.0 mL water Lowest concentration of dye Answer Bankarrow_forward
