- By varying the number of double bonds in the hydrophobic tails of phospholipids, animals can maintain the integrity of their cell membranes in the face of changes in TB. How do they achieve this?

- The veterinary hospital at the University of Franca in Sao Paulo, Brazil had five giant anteaters (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) needing surgical treatment under anesthesia for a variety of disorders. Unfortunately, there are no doses indicated on any anesthesia for application to anteaters. How did these surgeons handle this problem? Why should this work? What might make their solution not work?

Answer #1

The integrity of the cellmembrene can be changed from hydrophobicity to hydrophilicity or vice versa through a variety of organic solvents which normally change the permeability of the members.

The doses of vertinerary anaesthesia is normally given from lower to higher. If there is no specific anaesthesia for anteaters then some thing can be picked from a similar type of phyla.
