Question

Write the function of the following a) Platelet b) Valve c) Nephron d) Capillaries​

Answer 1

Answer:

function of platelet is :

In addition to being the smallest blood cell, platelets are also the lightest. Therefore they are pushed out from the center of flowing blood to the wall of the blood vessel. There they roll along the surface of the vessel wall, which is lined by cells called endothelium. The endothelium is a very special surface, like Teflon, that prevents anything from sticking to it. However when there is an injury or cut, and the endothelial layer is broken, the tough fibers that surround a blood vessel are exposed to the liquid flowing blood. It is the platelets that react first to injury. The tough fibers surrounding the vessel wall, like an envelop, attract platelets like a magnet, stimulate the shape change that is shown in the pictures above, and platelets then clump onto these fibers, providing the initial seal to prevent bleeding, the leak of red blood cells and plasma through the vessel injury.

The color photograph is a microscopic picture of a drop of blood spread out onto a glass slide. The magnification is not as high as the pictures above, so the platelets seem very small. It can be seen that as the platelets touch the glass, they begin to stick together forming a long string. This illustrates the basic function of platelets, to stick to any foreign surface and then to stick together. The red blood cells in this picture are normal, with their round shape and their thin center.

Answer 2

Answer:

• Capillaries - Capillaries connect the arterial system which includes the blood vessels that carry blood away from your heart to your venous system. Your venous system includes the blood vessels that carry blood back to your heart.
• Platelets - Platelets are tiny blood cells that help your body form clots to stop bleeding. If one of your blood vessels gets damaged, it sends out signals to the platelets. The platelets then rush to the site of damage. they form a plug (clot) to fix the damage.
• Valve -The 'main function' of the valves present between the atria and the ventricles is to prevent the 'back flow of blood' from one 'chamber of the heart' to the other.
• Nephron -A nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidneys that regulates water and soluble substances in the blood by filtering the blood, reabsorbing what is needed, and excreting the rest as urine. Its function is vital for homeostasis of blood volume, blood pressure, and plasma osmolarity.
