Question
Answer
Mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood within the heart occurs in the ?   Frog - they have a 3 chambered heart with only 1 ventricle where the mixing occurs.  
🗑
The most important factor in the return of blood flow back to the heart is ?   Skeletal Muscle contraction  
🗑
The cardiac cycle is ?   The synchronous contraction of the two atria followed by the contraction of the two ventricles  
🗑
Epinephrine is given as treatment for shock victims because ?   it increases heart rate and blood pressure  
🗑
What is NOT a part of ALL circulatory systems?   Hemocoel - an open region inside the body where internal organs are immersed directly in fluid.  
🗑
What is the overriding main function of the vertebrate circulatory system?   To transport substances - oxygen, nutrients, hormones, wastes, CO2.  
🗑
Uncoordinated and irregular contractions of one of the chambers of the heart are referred to as?   Fibrillations  
🗑
What is the determining factor that stimulates erythropoietin (stimulates the production of RBCs) release from the kidney?   Too little oxygen in the blood  
🗑
What would happen if a person received a drug that acted as a thrombin (used in the blood clotting process to convert fibrinogen to fibrin) inhibitor?   Their ability to produce blood clots would be inhibited  
🗑
Megakaryocytes are responsible for the production of?   Platelets  
🗑
Animals have two major types of circulatory systems. ___ and ____?   Open and Closed  
🗑
Causes the red color in erythrocytes?   hemoglobin  
🗑
Carry blood away from the heart?   Arteries  
🗑
What is NOT an important function of the vertebrate circulatory system?   Removal of waste products for excretion from the body  
🗑
Which event initiates blood clotting?   Contact with an irregular surface by platelets and other factors in plasma.  
🗑
The sites of exchange of wastes, nutrients, gases, hormones between blood and the body cells are the?   Capillaries  
🗑
What produces systolic blood pressure?   Contraction of the left ventricle  
🗑
An AV valve prevents the backflow or leakage of blood from?   a ventricle into an atrium  
🗑
Heart Beat is initiated by signaling from the?   SA Node  
🗑
Fibrinogen is?   a blood protein that is converted to fibrin to form a blood clot  
🗑
The major criterion that determines rate of breathing is ?   Blood carbon dioxide level  
🗑
An advantage of gas exchange in aquatic habitats, as compared to terrestrial, is that?   Keeping respiratory membranes moist is easy.  
🗑
When you perform a strenuous exercise what happens?   Respiratory muscles accessory to the diaphragm and rib muscles will contract to increase chest volume  
🗑
Carbon monoxide poisoning kills by?   Depriving cells of oxygen by competing with it for the hemoglobin in the rbc's  
🗑
Take a huge breath while sitting up straight in your chair, and then do this again while slumped over. Compare the air volume entering the lungs in each situation. Why is there a difference?   The chest and rib cage cannot be increased in size effectively when you are slumped over in a chair.  
🗑
Compare the lungs to other respiratory structures such as gills and skin. What is the major advantage of the lungs?   The lungs have more surface area, with accompanying greater respiratory membrane for gas exchange  
🗑
Why is breathing so important?   A fresh supply of oxygen must be constantly provided so that cells are able to metabolize glucose and to filter CO2  
🗑
What features that facilitate diffusion of respiratory gases are shared b all animals with some type of respiratory system?   The surface is exceedingly thin, moist, and very big  
🗑
What stages in the process of respiratory gas exchange occurs by diffusion? (movement across small distances)   Movement of gases across the surfaces of the lung and movement of gases between tissues of the body  
🗑
What represents an evolutionary adaption that terrestrial animals have to aid in improving the efficiency of their respiratory systems?   Development of complex internal lungs with massive amounts of surface area for gas exchange  
🗑
Through what sequence of structures would a volume of air have to travel from the mouth into the lungs?   Mouth -> pharynx -> Larynx -> trachea -> bronchi -> bronchioles -> alveoli  
🗑
If humans did not have lungs, but instead their skin was thin and moist for gas exchange, they would struggle to meet the oxygen demand of the tissues. Why ?   The skin would not provide a great enough surface area.  
🗑
Why do many emphysema patients voluntarily contract muscles that help them increase their chest volume when they inhale?   Emphysema patients have less respiratory surface area because of the damaged alveoli. To compensate, they must bring in larger volumes of air when they inhale.  
🗑
With which other system do specialized respiratory systems most closely interface in exchanging gases between the cells and the environment?   The circulatory system.  
🗑
The gas exchange portion of the human respiratory system is the ?   alveoli  
🗑
_____ are a system of branching internal tubes that insects use to convey air to their body cells   Tracheae  
🗑
____ is dome shaped muscle that is found under the lungs   Diaphragm  
🗑
True or False: Both arteries and veins have a layer of muscle?   False  
🗑
How is most of the oxygen transported in the blood?   Bound to hemoglobin  
🗑
True or False: The concentration of carbon dioxide is higher in the air(lungs) than in the capillaries.(body)   False: Body cells have less oxygen than our lungs and have greater levels of CO2  
🗑
A red blood cell is in an artery in the left arm. How many capillary beds must this cell pass through before it is returned to the left ventricle of the heart?   Two  
🗑
If a molecule of carbon dioxide released into the blood in your left toe travels out of your nose, it must pass through all except ?   Left Atrium  
🗑
What is false concerning hemoglobin molecule?   It is found only in humans.  
🗑
Is this sequence correct? Right ventricle -> Pulmonary vein   Incorrect  
🗑
What does it mean if the blood pressure of a human is 110/80?   The diastolic pressure is 80  
🗑
The meshwork that forms the fabric of a blood clot mostly consists of which protein?   Fibrin  
🗑
What occurs with the exhalation of air from human lungs?   The volume of the chest cavity decreases  
🗑
Why is it that vitamins A, D, E, and K can be toxic, but not C and B?   Fat soluble vitamins are stored in the body - C and B are water soluble and cannot go into our cells  
🗑
Essential amino acids are those that?   Are not synthesized in the body; they must be taken in with food  
🗑
The major nutrient group used for quick energy production is?   carbohydrates  
🗑
Chyme is?   the thickened food material after digestion in the stomach  
🗑
____ is a tube that propels food from the mouth to the stomach   esophagus  
🗑
____ is the process by which food is pushed through the esophagus   peristalsis  
🗑
_____ is the human storage form of carbohydrate   glycogen  
🗑
The function of bile is?   Mechanical breakdown of fats for better breakdown with lipase, a lipid digestive enzyme  
🗑
What is it that "raises the temp of a gram of water by 1 degree Celsius"?   calorie  
🗑
What is the correct sequence of events that all digestive systems follow in the processing of food?   ingestion -> mechanical breakdown -> chemical breakdown -> absorption -> elimination
