Med Lab II May 23‚ 2013 Life cycle of an Erythrocyte There are a total of 20 to 30 trillion erythrocytes in the human body and to maintain the homeostasis about 2.5 million of those erythrocytes are destroyed and replace every second. The life cycle of an erythrocyte is 120 days. In the short lifetime the erythrocytes make an astonishing 75000 round trips between the lungs‚ heart and cells of the body. Erythrocytes do not possess a nucleus they are unable to repair or synthesize new cellular

Life cycle of a star Stars are born in nebulae. Huge clouds of dust and gas collapse under gravitational forces‚ forming protostars. These young stars undergo further collapse‚ forming main sequence stars. Stars expand as they grow old. As the core runs out of hydrogen and then helium‚ the core contacts and the outer layers expand‚ cool‚ and become less bright. This is a red giant or a red super giant (depending on the initial mass of the star). It will eventually collapse and explode. Its fate

Systems Development Life Cycle • Project planning: Establishes a high-level view of the intended project and determines its goals. The importance of the planning stage is to determine what technologies exist or can be developed to solve the problem that has been identified. An economic feasibility analysis is used to determine if an organization can afford the system and if the system will provide a return on the investment. An operational feasibility analysis examines the human element of the

Butterflies go through a life cycle. There are four stages. The first stage is the eggs. This is where a girl butterfly lays eggs. She lays them on a leaf. The second stage is the caterpillar. This is where the eggs hatch. It takes about five days for the eggs to hatch. A caterpillar then comes out. At this stage‚ the caterpillar eats all the time. It also grows really fast. Once it is all the way grown‚ the third stage starts. This stage is the chrysalis. The caterpillar makes a chrysalis. The caterpillar

The product life cycle concept is the explanation of the product from its birth to death as a product exists in different stages and in different competitive environments. William j.stanton Like humans every product have certain length of life during which it passes through various stages ‚ which can conceptually be represented as product ageing process. Similar to human life a product`s life can also divided into four parts. Introductory stage Growth stage Maturity stage Decline stage
