Why, in physiological terms, does heart rate increase during exercise? Discuss contributions from the nervous and endocrine systems.
Every cell in the body requires oxygen for respiration so that sufficient energy can be produced. Carbon dioxide a waste product in the process, is also produced and needs to be removed from the cells. Therefore, the levels of both gases should be regulated. How does this physiological mechanism explain the changes observed and noted in the increase of pulse rate during running?
Leukotrienes from damaged tissue cause smooth muscle in local blood vessels to vasodilate (increase the diameter of the vessel lumen). Is this an example of (a) autocrine stimulation or (b) paracrine stimulation? Explain.
