For a frog, the disadvantage of cutaneous respiration (through the skin) is:
O a. It has to have an extremely thin skin.
O b. It constantly loses water.
O. Most of its blood supply is now in its skin collecting oxygen.
O d. It constantly loses heat through the skin.
Oe.
It has an extensively folded skin to increase its surface area.

- The difference between the amphibian and mammal hearts is thata. in the amphibian heart, oxygenated and deoxygenated blood mix completely in the single ventricle.b. in the amphibian heart, there are two SA nodes so that contractions occur simultaneously throughout the heart.c. in the ventricle in the amphibian heart, internal channels reduce mixing of blood.d. in the amphibian heart, only the left aorta pumps oxygen obtained by diffusion through the skinarrow_forwardGiven these characteristics:Matrix composed almost entirely of extracellular collagen fibers. It is able to withstand great pulling forces. Which of the tissue is described? A. Adipose. B.Cartilage. C.Bone. D. Dense connective tissue. E.Loose connective tissue 2. According to Frank-Starling law of the heart, A.increased preload causes increased cardiac output. B.increased afterload causes increased cardiac output. C.decreased preload causes increased afterload. D.afterload influences cardiac output more than preload. E.cardiac output is not influenced by preload.arrow_forwardWhich of the following can increase oxygen delivery to an actively metabolizing tissue? A. local reduction in pH in the active tissue B. relaxation of precapillary sphincters within the active tissue C. increased blood pressure as a consequence of tachycardia (that is, increased heart rate) D. increase in the number of open, perfused capillaries in the active tissue E. All of the above answer choices correctly answer the question.arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements about vertebrate circulatory systems is not true? A. In mammals, the blood pressure in the aorta is higher than the pressure in the pulmonary artery. B. In fishes, oxygenated blood from the gills returns directly to the heart through the left atrium. C. In birds, deoxygenated blood leaves the heart through the pulmonary artery. D. In reptiles, the blood in the pulmonary artery has a lower oxygen content than the blood in the aorta. E. In amphibians, deoxygenated blood enters the heart through the right atrium.arrow_forwardSome animals use diffusion instead of a circulatory system. Examples include: A. sponges and jellyfish B. flatworms and arthropods C. mollusks and annelids D. birds and jellyfisharrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is INCORRECT about how the components of hemoglobin are recycled? a. Iron ions are either stored in a phagocytic cell or circulate in the blood, bound to transferrin (a plasma protein). b. Each heme is stripped of its iron and converted to bilirubin, then excreted in bile. c. The alpha and beta chains are released into the bloodstream for use by other cells. d. Hemoglobin can be recycled only if phagocytized by macrophages.arrow_forward
- The blood vascular system in annelids: A. A closed and the blood pigment is hemocyanin B. Open and the blood pigment is haemoglobin C. Closed vascular system and the blood pigment is haemoglobin* D. Open vascular system and blood circulates in the haemocoel. E. None of the abovearrow_forwardWhat are the important differences in the overall metabolic needs of a fish and a turtle and the ability of their circulatory systems to meet those needs? Select all that apply. Fish are less able to meet their metabolic needs than are turtles. Fish have a two-chamber heart (one atrium and one ventricle) and turtles have a three-chambered heart (two atria and one ventricle). Turtles are endothermic and fish are ectothermic Blood flows directly to other organs after being oxygenated in turtles, but return to the heart after being oxygenated in fish. Turtles have a double,-circuit circulatory system whereas fish have a single circulatory system.arrow_forwardhelparrow_forward
- Which of the following is NOT a way that carbon dioxide exits the body? * A. carbon dioxide travels down the concentration gradient and is able to diffuse from the tissues directly out of the body through its pores. B. carbon dioxide dissolves directly into the blood plasma to be carried to the lungs where it will be exhaled. C. Carbon dioxide binds with hemoglobin as red blood cell pass through tissues and is released as the blood cells reached the lungs. D. carbon dioxide converts into bicarbonate ions in the blood as it diffuses from the tissues and converts back to carbon dioxide as it reaches the lungs to be exhaled PLS ANSWWER ASP THANK YOUU SO MUCHarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is incorrect?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is true? a.Cardiac muscle cells are found in the heart and large blood vessels. b.Cardiac muscle cells have many nuclei. c.Striated muscle cells are long and cylindrical with many nuclei. d.Smooth muscle cells have T tubules.arrow_forward
