Question
Chapter 31, Problem 15WIO
Summary Introduction
To search:
The Internet for hypothesis about why humans and other animals yawn; then design an experiment to test one of the hypotheses.
Concept introduction:
Yawning is also a type of non-respiratory air movement. When one yawns, he/she takes in a deep breath of air.

Students have asked these similar questions
at a large
Assume that you are the nurse
elementary school where children frequently come to
you with nosebleeds.
Design an experiment to test whether dropping
keys down the back of the neck causes nosebleeds to
stop. (Assume parents of all children in the school have
given permission for their participation in the
experiment and you have followed ethical guidelines for
research with human subjects.
One possible explanation for why keys down the
back might actually be effective in stopping a nosebleed
is that they are cold, causing blood vessels to constrict.
Treatments should be randomly assigned to the
children. Describe how you accomplish this.
That is, when a child with a nosebleed comes
to the nurse's office, how will you know which
treatment he or she should get?

- Hello, May I get help on this question very soon please? I do not understand it. Scenario: Chris M is a scientist who studies a species of fish that only lives in some desert lakes at the bottom of Death Valley, California. Death Valley is about 282 feet below sea level. He notices that he feels like he can breathe a little better down there than at his home at sea level. He comes to you, his best friend who is a physiologist, and he asks why? You tell Chris… (see image)arrow_forwardplease helparrow_forwardDiscuss the Types of animals according to their source of oxygenarrow_forward
- Scientists were studying the effects exercise (running on a treadmill) has on the amount CO2 production and breathing rates on humans. Their conclusion was that a person who just completed a bout of exercise would have higher CO2 production and increased breathing rates when compared to when they were sitting in a chair. They also found that CO2 production and breathing rates would increase the longer they exercised. Based upon what we know about cellular respiration and energy production, select the reason that best explains the results of the testing above, CO2 production increases because CO2 is being made in the electron transport chain to keep the electrons moving. Breathing rates will increase in order to get rid of the lactic acid from working muscles. CO2 production increases because more of this is made as a direct result of glucose being split for energy. Breathing rates will increase with exercise in order to supply the muscles with more O2. Nearrow_forwardWhich statement is false? Chimpanzees have their vocal cords situated higher in the pharynx than in humans. All mammal species can choke (obstruction of windpipe) on food. The fact that we can choke on our food is an evolutionary compromise that is largely compensated that we have the capacity to speak. Choking is partly a consequence of the fact that there is a space between the posterior end of the soft palate and the dorsal tip of the epiglottis. Salmonella, a gram-negative bacterium, produces an endotoxin that causes food poisoning. What is endotoxin? Secretion of the bacterium that becomes toxic only when it enters the cells of the digestive tract. A toxin accumulated in the wall of the bacteria in his life and that is released into the host when the bacteria dies. A toxic substance produced by living bacteria and secreted directly on the host cells (in the intestine). None of these answers defines an endotoxin.arrow_forwardIn this experiment, the production of carbon dioxide was used to measure the rate of respiration. With your knowledge about respiration , what is another way to measure the rate of respiration? a. measure how much sugar is produced b. measure how much water is used c. measure how much oxygen is usedarrow_forward
