2. Compare the development of lymphocytes with other formed elements. B lymphocytes develop in red bone marrow‚ T lymphocytes develop in red bone marrow and mature in the thymus; the other formed elements develop in red bone marrow 3. What is erythropoiesis? Which factors speed up and slow down erythropoiesis? Erythropoiesis is the process by which red blood cells (erythrocytes) are produced. If you lose a lot of blood‚ erythropoiesis will speed up; anemia can cause erythropoiesis to slow down

“ Ageing is a continuous‚ complex‚ and dynamic process that begins with birth and ends with death. And unless we die in our early years‚ each of us will grow old and experience the effects of the ageing process”. (Pirkl‚ 2009). The ageing process and why changes have taken place in the last fifty years. This report discusses the ageing process and why changes have taken place in the last fifty years. The ageing process is a change in an organism overtime and can be referred to as a multidimensional

Fluid‚ Electrolyte‚ and pH Balance 1. The maintenance of normal volume and composition of extracellular and intracellular fluids is vital to life. List and briefly describe the kinds of homeostasis involved. In males and females‚ intracellular fluid has a greater proportion of total body water than does extracellular fluid. Give-and-take between the ICF and the ECF happens across plasma membranes by osmosis‚ diffusion‚ and carrier-mediated transport. The kinds of homeostasis involved are fluid
