Question
Chapter 43, Problem 14PIAT
Summary Introduction
To explain:
A concept map showing how BTX (batrachotoxin) could kill a mammal through its effects on nervous and muscle tissues.
Introduction:
The BTX is a toxic milky compound that is secreted from the skin of some frog species. It opens the sodium channel and causes membrane depolarization. It kills a mammal by affecting the nervous and muscle tissues.

Biting flies can transmit diseases and cause loss of blood for animals in nature. Horses have developed behaviors to repel biting flies such as ear twitching, head tossing, leg stomping, and tail swishing.
Which statement best describes the interaction between body systems that allows horses to repel biting flies?
Why do the blood vessels going to the skin and internal digestive organs constrict to get smaller during a fight or flight response?
a. to let in more light
b. to increase blood flow
c. to redirect blood to the areas that are involved in the panic response
d. to allow the body to take in more oxygen

- Propose a hypothesis: Would drinking a sportsdrink like Gatorade be beneficial for someone at rest or someoneexercising only moderately?arrow_forwardImagine two iguanas are in a fight and one iguana gets a cut. This cut leads to a loss of blood resulting in a drop in blood pressure, which could be life-threatening if not corrected. As a result, blood pressure sensors in the heart and some arteries detect the drop in pressure and send signals to the brain. Next, the brain stimulates the release of certain hormones into the blood. The result is that the heart beats more rapidly and raises the blood pressure of the injured iguana back to normal (or to the set point). This is an example of: A. positive feedback loop and homeostasis B. positive feedback loop and lack of homeostasis C. negative feedback loop and homeostasis D. negative feedback loop and lack of homeostasisarrow_forwardA type 1 functional response curve would best represent A) barnacles.
