Question
Chapter 34.6, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
What is the function of control mechanism as a drop in blood pH causes increase in heart rate.
Introduction:
Respiration is the process in which inhalation of oxygen and exhalation of carbon dioxide takes place. The oxygenated blood pumped into whole body through heart and deoxygenated blood is collected by heart and is pumped back to lungs.

1) Listen
You are designing the arterial blood vessels that go to the kidney. The first part of
kidney function involves a filtration mechanism that filters blood. To maximize this
filtration mechanism, you want to maximize blood flow to the kidney. Using Poiseuille’s
Law (on page 1), explain how you would construct the arterial circuit so that blood flow
is maximized. Assume that blood viscosity (h) will not be changed.
A recent newspaper article described a new bottled water that is “super charged” with oxygen. Since the body’s demand for oxygen increases as physical exertion increases, a university athletic coach thought that giving her athletes this oxygenated water would result in better performances. To test this idea, the coach divided her runners up into two groups. During practice, one group was given the super charged, oxygenated water to drink. The other group was given regular water. Both groups completed the same workout and drank the same amount of water (either oxygenated or unoxygenated). At the end of practice, she had all the athletes run 400 meters as fast as they could. She compared the times of the runners who had consumed regular water to those who had consumed the oxygenated water during practice. The coach found that the average time of the oxygenated water drinkers was significantly faster than that of the runners who had consumed regular water during practice. The…

- Compare and contrast the functions of the kidneys and the heart using a table. If both were candidates running for the presidential elections inside your body, which one would choose and why? If you do not want to vote for either the heart or the kidney, which organ would you vote for and why? Think of a way to make your reason more substantial by considering the role of both the heart and the kidneys in blood pressure regulation.arrow_forwardEvery cell in the body requires oxygen for respiration so that sufficient energy can be produced. Carbon dioxide a waste product in the process, is also produced and needs to be removed from the cells. Therefore, the levels of both gases should be regulated.

- During rhythmic, moderately intense aerobic exercise, there is a redistribution of blood flow throughout the body. Which of the following statements is true? O beta-2 receptors cause dilation and increased blood flow to the exercising muscle there is a large increase in blood flow to the brain to keep you alert mean arterial pressure increases 5-8x due to a similar increase in total cardiac output blood flow to the kidneys and gut increases due to the presence of alpha-2 receptorsarrow_forwardWhat effect does an increase in antidiuretic hormone (ADH) have on the volume of extracellular fluid (ECF)? a. ECF decreases when antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is present. b. ECF increases initially, then decreases when antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is present. c. ECF increases when antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is present. d.

- What happens in the tissues of this structure as a result of a lower than normal of plasma proteins in the concentration blood? Select one: a. Fluid is lost from the tissues due to a decrease in osmotic pressure. b. Fluid is lost from the tissues due to a decrease in blood pressure. c. Fluid accumulates in the tissues due to a decrease in blood pressure. d. Fluid accumulates in the tissues due to a decrease in osmotic pressure.arrow_forwardGiven: One night your body goes crazy and the amount of albumin in your blood doubles. a.

I don't understand this concept because I thought dehydration leads to thicker blood which meant your heart had to work harder, i.e. higher blood pressure.
