Severe anemia may trigger an adaptive conversion of yellow bone marrow to red bone marrow.

Anaemia is defined as the decrease or the reduction of the oxygen carrying content of the blood which are the red blood cells.

These red blood cells and other blood cells which include the white blood cells and the platelets are produced in the body by the bone marrows by a process called haemopoiesis.

The bone marrow is divided into two:

yellow bone marrow and
red bone marrow.

The red bone marrow is made up of stem cells which can be converted to red cells when the need arises while yellow bone marrow is made up of fat.

During health conditions such as anaemia, there is increase in the need of red blood cells by the body.

There is usually the conversation of yellow bone marrow to red bone marrow to compensate for the increased demand of red blood cells.

This conversation is called an adaptive conversation.

Therefore,Severe anemia may trigger an adaptive conversion of yellow bone marrow to red bone marrow.

A list of the cell fibers from largest to smallest would read: 1. microtubules, intermediate filaments, microfilaments

Dahasolnce [82]

A list of the cell fibers from largest to smallest would read:

1. microtubules – is a microscopic tubular structure that is present in numbers in the cytoplasm of cells. These are usually aggregated to form complex structures.

2. intermediate filaments – are cytoskeletal components that is usually found in the cells of vertebrate species and other organisms like plants, fungi, unicellular organisms.

3. Microfilaments – are filamentous structures that can be found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells and it will form part of the cytoskeletons. They are composed primarily of polymers of actin. But in cells, they usually interact with other proteins.

The appearance of a pebbly texture on the surface of a deep wound indicates what process is taking place?

irakobra [83]

In a deep wound, there might be a few layers of tissue that need to be rebuilt because they were lost. In this rebuilding process this pebbly texture can be seen and it indicates that granulation is taking place (that's the process). Granulation is when small blood vessels and capillaries start to develop vertically to the outside part of the wound, being supported by connective tissue, and surrounded by cells of many other types for different purposes, such as immunitary functions or specialised tissue functions. This tissue growing is characteristic of healing and it presents this granulated/pebbly texture to it.
