25
Why do emotions such as anger or fear slow digestion?
Because they stimulate the sympathetic nerves that supply the GI tract
26
What causes the direction of the carbonic anhydrase catalyzed reaction to reverse when blood travels from the tissues to the lungs?

3
47
At rest, only about ____% of the available oxygen in blood is used.
25
48
Which of the following factors determine the rate of Pulmonary and Systemic Gas Exchange? 1. Diffusion distance 2. All 3. Partial pressure of gases 4. Molecular weight and solubility of gases 5. Surface area available for gas exchange
2
49
Oxygen partial pressure in alveolar air is ~____ and in blood returning to the lungs via the pulmonary capillaries is ~_____?
100mmHg, 40 mmHg
50
If you lacked pleural fluid which function would be most affected?
