In spherocytosis, there is a defect in the membrane proteins of the red blood cells, specifically ankyrin and spectrin. These membrane proteins contribute to the biconcave shape of red blood cells therefore the loss of these proteins will lead the red blood cells to lose its biconcave shape--leading to abnormally shaped red blood cells (spheres) hence the name. This can lead to premature destruction of red blood cells and jaundice due to hyperbilirubinemia. Spherocytes do not hold oxygen and carbon dioxide well as spherocytes have a decreased surface area.

Homeostasis is an important characteristics of life.

It is the ability of organisms to maintain and sustain a balance environment within and outside of them.

Sweating is one such process by which the body carries out homeostasis. On a hot day, the body produces sweat which evaporates and release latent heat to cool the body. This inability affects the intricate balance between the environment and the body.
