Answer:

C) substitutions that reduce the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen

Explanation:

Heinz bodies are inclusions in the eritrocite, filled by denaturalized globin (protein part of the hemoglobin). Hemoglobin is formed by 4 globin subunits (2 alpha chains and 2 beta chains) plus a heme group. The latter, is responsible for oxygen binding.

The denaturalization of the globin is caused by substitutions that do not allow the protein to fold properly and bind the heme group accordingly. This is the cause of the Heinz bodies in the eritrocite. Therefore, this is a structural problem that impedes the protein to fold into a functional protein and has nothing to do with hemoglobin having less affinity for oxygen. In the last mentioned case, the protein is still functional but poorly binds oxygen, hence, does not for Heinz bodies.

Answer: Fibrous pericardium and Serous Pericardium

Explanation:

The pericardium can be defined as the fibroserous sac( double layered) which covers the whole heart. The gap between two layers of serous pericardium is filled with serous fluid. This fluid protects the heart from external shocks.

Fibrous pericardium

This layer is the most superficial layer which consists of dense connective tissue. This layer of the heart protects it from over filling of blood, anchors the heart to the surrounding wall.

Serous pericardium

This layer provides lubrication to the heart by resisting the friction which occurs during the various type of heart function.

1. How do your eyes work? What is the difference between focal vision and peripheral vision?
Olin [163]

Answer:

1 When light hits the retina (a light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the eye), special cells called photo receptors turn the light into electrical signals.

These electrical signals travel from the retina through the optic nerve to the brain. Then the brain turns the signals into the images you see.Focal vision is involved in examining and recognizing objects related with the macular area of the retina whereas peripheral vision is vision resulting in stimulation of the retina outside the macula. An example of peripheral vision would be looking straight ahead while also being able to see on the side by the eye.

Explanation:

2The pituitary gland is enveloped by dura and sits within the sella turcica of the sphenoid bone. The sella turcica is a saddle-shaped depression that surrounds the inferior, anterior, and posterior aspects of the pituitary.When a pituitary tumor pushes the optic chiasm, it causes visual loss in both eyes. In addition to the optic nerve, which brings vision from the eye to the brain, there are also several other nerves near the pituitary gland that travel to the eyes and help them move normally.
