Red blood cells are disc shaped. It is thought one factor that allows them to have this shape is because they do not have a nucleus. This tends to increase amount of space inside the cell for hemoglobin.

They have a flexible disc shape which helps increase the surface- to- area volume ratio  which enables oxygen and carbon dioxide to diffuse across the red blood cell's plasma membrane more readily.

Their disc shape also enables them to squeeze through tiny capillaries that are half their size .

What is the preferred method for assessing heart rate during chest compressions?
Dmitry [639]
An electronic cardiac monitor is the preferred method for assessing heart rate during chest compressions. While a person is performing chest compressions on a patient, he or she is hooked up to the electronic cardiac monitor so that the doctor can see exactly how fast the patient's heart is pumping blood. Cardiac monitoring is the best method do assess this.

calcium signaling in individual app/ps1 mouse dentate gyrus astrocytes increases ex vivo with aβ pathology and age without affec
irakobra [83]

Astrocytes are a group  of cells with functional characteristics and distinctive morphological that vary within specific areas of the brain.

For healthy brain function, astrocytes are essential. those become reactive in the case of Alzheimer's disease, which impacts the signaling properties. while experimenting, there was the measurement for instinctive calcium transients ex vivo in hippocampal astrocytes in brain slices containing the dentate gyrus of  9-month-old  and 6-month-old APPswe/PSEN1dE9 mice. when they investigated the duration of calcium transients and frequency concerning amyloid-β (Aβ) pathology, the proximity of the astrocyte to Aβ plaques, and aging. there was no change in spontaneous calcium-transient properties of 6M APP/PS1 astrocytes compared to wild-type astrocytes, whereas there was hyperactivity in 9M APP/PS1 astrocytes compared to wild -type,  which were longer in duration, also there was an effect of aging too, there was an increase in calcium in the 9-month astrocytes than to the 6-month astrocytes, also there was an increase in the calcium waves in the 9-month astrocytes because of the increase network activity. The findings were that the change in calcium signaling in individual astrocytes of APP/PS1 mice is because of both pathology and aging but these don't have any impact on changes in the astrocyte network activity, which leads to helping to understand changes in neuronal physiology.

How does the digestive work
mamaluj [8]
Digestion begins in the mouth with chewing and ends in the small intestine. As food passes through the GI tract, it mixes with digestive juices, causing large molecules of food to break down into smaller molecules. ...Digestive juices contain enzymes that break food down into different nutrients.
