Question
Chapter 46, Problem 13TYK
Summary Introduction
To review:
Hyperventilation reduces CO2 (carbon dioxide) content of blood but does not significantly increase the amount of O2 (oxygen) available to tissues.
Introduction:
Hyperventilation is an increased rate of ventilation that leads to abnormally low blood CO2 levels and high blood pH. Ventilation rate affects only the CO2 level and is independent of the cellular oxygen needs.

Can you answer all the parts to this question regarding fish
A: Describe countercurrent exchange in your own words.
B: Describe concurrent exchange in your own words.
C: Mammals have dead end sacs called “alveoli” and don’t have the super efficient countercurrent exchange system seen in fish. Why do you think countercurrent exchange is necessary for fish? (hint: think about the difference between where most mammals and fish live).
