Summary Introduction

To explain: The short-term variations in cardiovascular functions that help an animal to use skeletal muscles to run away from danger.

Concept introduction:

A skeleton can support an animal, protect its internal organs, and allows for the movement of an organism. There are three types of skeletons. They are hydrostatic skeleton, exoskeleton, and endoskeleton.

Describe two mechanisms by which the cardiac output of an animal’s heart can be adjusted and indicate which is more important for increasing cardiac output in mammals and which is more important in fish.
Three circulatory systems of vertebrates are represented in the following diagram. Identify to which group of animals each circulatory system belongs and mention the reasons for considering them as such. ↑ Capilares de las branquias Aorta Capilares sanguíneos ↓ Capilares pulmonares Aorta Capilares sanguíneos ↓ Capilares pulmonares Aorta Capilares sanguineos
Which of the following statements best describes the differences in the regulation of cardiac and skeletal muscle contraction?     The amount of contractile force actively generated by muscle cells is increased by stretch in skeletal muscle and decreased by stretch in cardiac muscle.     Cardiac muscle is stimulated by motor neurons and skeletal muscle by neurones from the autonomic nervous system.     Skeletal muscle contractile force is augmented by increasing the firing frequency of action potentials whereas cardiac muscle contractile force is enhanced by noradrenaline increasing calcium influx through ion channels.     Ryanodine receptors in skeletal muscle are opened by a mechanism that requires calcium influx whereas in cardiac muscle membrane depolarisation alone without calcium influx is sufficient to open ryanodine receptors.
