ANEMIA

Anemia is a condition of the blood where there is not enough red blood cells or hemoglobin. Hemoglobin has an iron core and is the main part of the red blood cells where oxygen from the lungs binds. IF hemoglobin is too low or abnormal delivery of oxygen to the body will be altered. There are various reasons for anemia to happen. This cane be due to abnormal cell development, deficiency in iron, malabsorption of vitamins. Symptoms includes pale skin, fatigue, palpitations, shortness of breath.

The highlighted structure separates the oocyte from the externally located ________. zona pellucida primary follicle corona radi

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Granulosa cells

Explanation:

Foliculogenesis is a dynamic and complex process through which the follicle goes through many stages of development in a short period (approximately 60 days in humans and some chimpanzees).

The stages classification is based on morphological changes such as follicular size or diameter, the number of follicular cell layers, etcetera. These classifications might vary among authors but could be denominated as:

Primordial follicle

Primary follicle

Secondary follicle and

De Graaf follicles (This is the one shown in the image)

Through each stage, there are certain modifications in the oocyte, follicular cells, and connective tissue. As the oocyte grows, the follicular cells might reach a size twice or three times bigger than the ones of the primordial follicles. Their shape also changes and they adopt an aspect of stratified epithelium. Their cytoplasm gets a granulous aspect, after what these cells receive the name of granulous cells. The De Graaf follicle characterizes for having a space named follicular antro that displaces the oocyte to one of the sides.

The oocyte at this point gets surrounded by zona pellucida and corona radiata .

The follicular antro (The highlighted structure) separates the oocyte from the externally located granulosa cells or follicular cells.

Explain how seasonal changes in carrying capacity can account for the annual cycles in population size observed for this populat

murzikaleks [220]

Carrying capacity is how many animals a given location can hold. This means that if the number of rabbits, n, exceeds the carrying capacity, C, then the difference between the number of rabbits minus the carrying capacity (n - C) will likely die to starvation. Seasons in Ohio can directly affect carrying capacity because colder weather usually means less food. Rabbits can eat plants as well, and in winter, plants do not do well to survive. Thus, the carrying capacity will decrease. In contrast, in summer, plants flourish so the carrying capacity will increase.
