Question
Chapter 48.2, Problem 1BC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The relation of countercurrent exchange with the heat exchange in vertebrates.
Introduction: The process of circulation inside the body of an organism is responsible for the transportation of oxygen and various nutrients. The purpose of circulation is to fulfill the demands of the tissues and organs and maintain the internal environment of the body.

Once the hemolymph leaves the aorta, it fills the perineural and perivisceral sinuses, bathing the internal organs at the same time. Present your understanding of this concept through a diagram in the activity worksheet.arrow_forwardCreate a cool down for soccer, Remember to cover the basic ground rules:About 10 minutes in lengthBegin at a high level of intensity and work your way down to a resting heart rateIncorporate both static and dynamic activitiesMove all relevant body partsarrow_forward

More specifically, the RM is positioned medially, or closer to the vertebrae, and is served by a complex network of arteries and veins, which form countercurrent heat-exchanging retia (Carey and Teal, 1966; Carey et al., 1971; Bone and Chubb, 1983; Graham et al., 1983; Block and Finnerty, 1994; Dewar et al., 1994b; Patterson et al., 2011). Interestingly, swordfish are the only teleost species, other than the scombroid fishes, to exhibit a medially positioned RM that is served by a putative vascular rete; but, it is unclear to what degree these specializations function to control RM temperatures, especially during exposure to large and rapid changes in ambient conditions (Carey, 1990; Figure 1a).

- Joe is studying for ANP. He is relaxed and resting. He just ate a big meal, so his digestive organs are very active. Joe begins to exercise. What changes will his heart AND vasculature make to ensure that his active muscles get the extra O2 and glucose they need? Heart: Vasculature: Most blood vessels Arterioles and precapillary sphincters serving his digestive organs Arterioles and precapillary sphincters serving his active muscles This time, his muscles are active enough that he needs to increase his total body blood pressure. What stimulus causes the heart and vascular changes seen above? Using the terms “change in pressure” and “flow,” and comparing pressure in the arteries with that in the capillaries, and between capillaries perfusing the digestive organs vs those perfusing skeletal muscle, explain how/why these changes work to keep his muscles adequately fed.

- Muscle physiology: You are in the gym and doing strength training. You feel in good shape and should try to break personal records in squats. You place the bar on your back and start to take in, ie. your motor neurons begin to send action potentials through all your motor units to the thigh muscles. Task 1: Describe how these action potentials lead to your muscles contracting. The description must follow the correct sequence order and you must explain what happens and why. Task 2: What is the contraction called when you a) bend down and b) are in good shape and can generate more force than what the bar weighs c) stay standing in a and the same position without being able to push yourself up while standing?arrow_forwardif you move a fish from surface waters to deep depths (say deeper than 2000m), what physiological and biochemical mechanisms cause their muscle and neural function to be negatively affected? asap pleasearrow_forwardExplain how exercise impacts the NMJ - does it cause adaptations?
