Atherosclerosis is a disease of the vascular endothelium. The principal players in the atherogenic processare lipid materials and even cells of the immune system.a. What lipids from the diet participate in the atherogenic process and how did each of themcontribute to the “lipid theory” of the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis?b. What immune system cells participate and how do they mediate in the atherogenic process
In hereditary hemolytic anemia, massive destruction of red blood cellsoccurs. Would you expect the reticulocyte count to be above or belownormal? Explain why one of the symptoms of the disease is jaundice. In 1910, physicians discovered that hereditary hemolytic anemiacan be treated successfully by removing the spleen. Explain why thistreatment is effective.
Leukemia is type if bone marrow cancer in which the hematopoietic tissue proceures a very large number of immature leukocytes. At the same time, patient is anemic and bruise easily. What does the anemia and easy bruising indicate about the effect of leukemia on red bone marrow ?
