Question
Chapter 4.3, Problem 2CS
Summary Introduction
To explain: The relation between the shapes of structures involved in the gas exchange and the surface area/volume ratio.
Introduction: Living organisms consist of cells and almost all cells are small in size. The large sized organisms have more number of cells instead of having larger cells. Cells are small in size so that the amount of nutrient uptake and waste export through the plasma membrane can be decreased. A cell should have an appropriate surface area to volume ration in order to sustain.

f.
reflex protects lung tissues when taking deep breaths
in by telling the primary respiratory center to stop sending motor impulses to the
respiratory muscles and accessory muscles, and the bronchial tree, limiting inspiration
and overexpansion of the lungs.
g. What happens to your breathing rate during exercise and why?
h. When oxygen levels in the blood get too low, chemoreceptors located in the
and
in the carotid arteries and aorta
respectively, will send impulses to the primary respiratory center, which will (increase or
decrease) impulses to the respiratory muscles, which will (increase or decrease) breaths
per minute.
i. What happens to blood oxygen levels?
ii. What happens to blood carbon dioxide levels?
iii. What happens to blood hydrogen ion levels?

- Help Save & Exit Andrew has lived his whole life in San Diego, CA at sea level. One summer in college he gets a job as a field biologist in the Colorado Rockies (elevation 7500 ft. above sea level). The first week he is in Colorado he experiences altitude sickness from the change in atmosphere. Altitude sickness is characterized by fatigue and shortness of breath as a result of the thinner air which contains less oxygen. a. How does Andrew's fatigue and shortness of breath relate to the cellular respiration pathway? be. b. What would you expect to find if you test the level of lactic acid in Andrew's blood? Explain your answer. .9 C. A couple weeks later, Andrew is feeling better but he noticed that his appetite has increased.

Gas Transport (p. 347-348; Fig. 14.10) a. 97% of oxygen entering the capillaries in the lungs will be transported to tissue cells in the red blood cells. How is the last 2 -3% of bound oxygen carried to tissue cells? i. When oxygen binds to hemoglobin in the lungs, the hemoglobin changes shape and the name changes to This O₂- blood travels throughout the body supplying oxygen to our tissue cells. to ii. At the tissue cells, oxygen diffuses from concentration from the systemic capillaries into the ECF and then into the tissue cells. Now the blood in the system capillaries have (high or low) oxygen concentrations. This causes the hemoglobin the red blood cells to change shape again and its name changes from oxyhemoglobin to This O₂ -- to pick up more blood is now on its way to the oxygen. b. Approximately. % of CO₂ that enters the systemic capillaries from the tissue cells, will travel as a dissolved gas in the blood.…arrow_forwardequation.

- SOURCE: Gills are the main site of gas exchange in almost all fishes. The gills consist of bony or cartilaginously stiffened arches that anchor pairs of gill filaments. In sharks, the pairs of gill filaments are separated by a fleshy septum. The numerous, minute lamellae that protrude from both sides of each filament are the primary sites of gas exchange; however, not all the blood flow in the gills is directed to the lamellae. "Nonrespiratory basal blood channels or venolymphatic simuses may carry a significant fraction of the gall blood found that resting rainbow trout perfused approximately 58% of their lamellae with blood. Trout in hypoxic (low dissolved oxygen) water or injected with epinepherine (eg. simulating stress or excitement) perfused more than 70% of their lamellae. Conversely, injections of acetylcholine decreased perfused lamellae to approximately 43%. These results indicate that rainbow trout can increase the number of lamellae that are used in respiration as the…arrow_forwardSolve 7,8 and 9.arrow_forwardPlz asaparrow_forward
