Although the blood vessels has a smaller diameter than that of a red blood cell, the red blood cell can still pass through how?
- A.
Straight
- B.
Horizontally
- C.
Spiral way
- D.
Vertically
Correct Answer
C. Spiral wayExplanation
The red blood cell can pass through the blood vessels in a spiral way. This is because the red blood cell is flexible and can change its shape to fit through narrow spaces. As it moves through the blood vessels, it can twist and turn, allowing it to navigate through the smaller diameter of the vessels. This spiral movement helps the red blood cell to efficiently transport oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.Rate this question:

Why does RBC's pass through spirally?
- A.
Plasma
- B.
Albumins
- C.
Convex shape
- D.
Biconcave shape
Correct Answer
D. Biconcave shapeExplanation
RBCs pass through spirally due to their biconcave shape. This unique shape allows RBCs to be flexible and change their shape as they move through narrow blood vessels, such as capillaries. The biconcave shape increases the surface area of the RBC, allowing for efficient gas exchange and the ability to carry oxygen to tissues. Additionally, the biconcave shape helps RBCs to stack together, forming rouleaux, which enables them to flow smoothly through blood vessels.Rate this question:

The biconcave shape is maintained by a structural protein called what?
- A.
Spectrin
- B.
Albumins
- C.
WBC's
- D.
Leukotrienes
Correct Answer
A. SpectrinExplanation
Spectrin is a structural protein that helps maintain the biconcave shape of red blood cells. It forms a network of filaments along the inner surface of the cell membrane, providing support and stability. Without spectrin, red blood cells would lose their characteristic shape and become more fragile, leading to a shorter lifespan and potential health issues.Rate this question:
