Abstract

The article presents the results of studies of the effect of acidic (4.0, 5.0) and alkaline (9.0) pH values on cytomorphological parameters of erythrocytes of Rana macrocnemis tadpoles. The negative effect of pH 4.0 on the cytomorphological features of erythrocytes is shown, expressed in a decrease in their geometric parameters (area, volume), which leads to a deterioration of their function. Changes in the linear and geometric parameters of tadpole blood cells when exposed to pH 5.0 and 9.0 in both series of the experiment allow us to judge their focus on improving the efficiency of oxygen transport, that is, they are compensatory in nature.
