<h2>Functions of spleen</h2>
Explanation:
The major functions of spleen besides filtering the blood of foreign materials and phagocytosis of old defective erythrocytes are:
- Initiate immune responses against infections by liberation of antigen and activation of lymphocytes (T and B cells)
- Secretes bactericidal agents which act against invading bacteria
- Secretes interleukins which promote the growth of lymphocytes or antibodies that act against pathogens
- Reservoir: Pools blood by storing thrombocytes, immature erythrocytes.
- Hematopoiesis: Blood cells like erythrocytes, lymphocytes and monocytes develop and mature in spleen especially during the early fetal life.
Answer:
The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
The right answer is false.
Angioplasty is a technique that can reopen narrowed or obstructed arteries in the heart (coronary arteries) without extensive surgery. First performed in 1977, angioplasty is now as common as coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
The treatment of arteriosclerosis is surgical or endovascular if there is a risk of life, significant functional impairment or major risk involving the life of an organ or limb.
Angioplasty is not the only surgery for this, Several surgical techniques aim at restoring the arterial lumen or irrigating the private territory or at suppressing the arterial aneurysm.
- Endoluminal angioplasty or dilation using a balloon with or without a stent to correct a stenosis or to recanalize a short arterial occlusion.
- The removal by endarterectomy which consists of removing the atheroma plug which obstructs an artery leaving only the weed.
- Bridging, which will "short circuit" the obliterated artery by allowing the passage of blood from the healthy artery upstream to the permeable artery downstream, made with venous, arterial or prosthetic material.
In case of an aneurysm two techniques are available: either bypass surgery in conventional surgery removing the aneurysm - or the stent covered excluding the aneurysm.
In all cases the risks must be compared to the benefits of each technique and correctly exposed beforehand. Each act must be adapted to each case according to the functional stage, the general state of the patient and his physiological age more than legal.
