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.
Some agree its in the billions range somewhere close to 3 billion.
Answer:
Kerb cycle
<u>Explanation</u>:
The result from mitochondria is ATP, that acts as a currency of the energy in the cell. In the cytoplasm of mitochondria kerb cycle occurs. In this process it has several other process, once it uses acetate and water to give NADH from NAD+ and gives carbon dioxide as waste. The NADH formed is fed by oxidative phosphorylation or electron transport. The outcome of these processes is oxidation of nutrients to give chemical energy in ATP form.
