Q

A _ is also secreted reduce mucus surface tension to prevent partially deflated alveoli from being able to reinflate

A

Surfactant

25
Sensors in the carotid arteries
Carotid bodies
26
Sensors in the aorta - detect variation in co- 2 , h, and 0-2 in the blood
Aortic bodies
27
Send signals to the brainstem, which sends action potential to motor neurons which control breathing rate
Aortic bodies
28
The percentage (bu volume) of red blood cells in your blood
Hematocrit
29
The ability of a substance to be dissolved in water
Solubility
30
A protein in RBCs that increases O2 solubility by 100 times
Hemoglobin
31
Hemoglobin exhibits....
Cooperative binding
32
specialized O2 carrier in muscle cells; contains only 1 heme group Has a greater affinity for O2 than hemoglobin does Concentrated in red muscle cells that rely on aerobic respiration
myoglobin
33
contains few blood vessels and most hemolymph is contained by the body cavity Some invertebrates have simple hearts that pump hemolymph between body regions
Open circulatory system
34
made up of internal vessels that contain blood, and a pump (heart) to circulate blood through the system
closed circulatory system
35
carry’s deoxygenated blood
dorsal vessel
36
large, high pressure, move blood away from the heart
arteries
37
midsized, mid- pressure
arterioles
38
small size, low pressure, gas exchange
Capillaries
39
midsized, mid- pressure, take blood towards heart
Venules
40
large, high pressure
veins
41
Blood pressure is regulated via the nervous and endocrine systems by sending nerve pulses or hormones that cause:
vasoconstriction or vasodilation
42
________ are leaky by design to facilitate diffusion, filtration, and osmosis
capillaries
43
When plasma leaks out of the capillary beds, the ________ _________ returns it to the veins near the heart
lymphatic system
44
how many chambers do fish have in their hear
two
45
collects blood
atrium
46
pressurizes blood
ventricle
47
Blood flows into the atrium from the ________ The atrium moves blood to the ventricle, which pumps it to the _______. Blood then moves to the gills to be oxygenated, then to the body, and then it returns to the heart.
vena cava aorta
48
reptiles and amphibians have how chambers in their heart? how many atria and ventricle
3 2 artia 1 common ventricle
49
how many chambers do mammals and birds have how many atria and ventricles
4 chambers 2 atria 2 ventricles
50
Have partially separated pulmonary and systemic circuits
reptiles and amphibians
51
Have fully separated pulmonary and systemic circuits
mammals and birds
52
the cardiac cycle is divided into two phases
diastole and systole
53
– the atria contract, filling the ventricles with blood
diastole
54
the ventricles contract, pumping blood out of the heart
systole
55
cells are responsible for causing the heart muscle cells to beat in rhythm
pacemaker
56
stimulates the atria
Sinoatrial (SA) node
57
stimulates the ventricles
Atrioventricular (AV) node
