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.

Do you think that the soles of of your feet or the back of your neck has the greater concentration of sensory receptors
mars1129 [50]
The soles of people’s feet have a greater concentration of sensory receptors because more people are ticklish on the bottoms of their feet than the backs of their necks. There are more neurons in your appendages especially the ends of them because they are the furthest from the brain. Getting a tattoo on your feet vs. the back of your neck hurts more as well, making the soles of your feet have the greater concentration.
