Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The type of blood vessels that carries blood to the heart from tissues needs to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Blood is carried in different vessels and these are divided into three major types- arteries, veins and capillaries. These vessels have their own significance and functions.
(b)
Interpretation:
The type of the blood vessel that carries blood rich in the oxygen needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Blood vessels are of three different types and they are unique in their functions and structure. These three include the arteries, veins and capillaries.
(c)
Interpretation:
The type of the blood vessel that contains a thin cell from which water and small molecules can pass through needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Blood vessels have a definitive function to transport blood to the far corners of the body and they are of three different types which each have a specific function.

- 6-47 A student has a bottle labeled 0.750% albumin solution. The bottle contains exactly 5.00 mL. How much water must the student add to make the concentration of albumin become 0.125%?arrow_forwardExplain the cleansing action of soap.arrow_forwardA martini, weighing about 5.0 oz (142 g), contains 30.0% by mass of alcohol. About 15% of the alcohol in the martini passes directly into the bloodstream (7.0 L for an adult). Estimate the concentration of alcohol in the blood (g/cm3) of a person who drinks two martinis before dinner. (A concentration of 0.00080 g/cm3 or more is frequently considered indicative of intoxication in a normal adult.)arrow_forward
