Gas Exchange and Transport Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged across the walls of alveoli and capillaries. Chemical propert

ies of blood and red blood cells allow for efficient transport of gases throughout the body.Carbon dioxide and oxygen are exchanged across capillary and alveolus walls.Hemoglobin binds with and transports oxygen that diffuses from alveoli to capillaries. It also increases the efficiency of gas exchange.Carbon dioxide is transported in the blood in three ways. Most combines with water and forms carbonic acid. Some dissolves in plasma. Some binds to hemoglobin and proteins in plasma.
For Questions 2-7, complete each statement by writing the correct word or words.

Use exacly 100 letter to write a sentence about what the world willbe like in 100 years
Doss [256]
Borders are still guarded zealously and fought for - via wars when required and when not required in equal measure. I see nations fighting
 over water  that preciously scarce resource of the future. I see that terrorists still abound - the Osama Bin Laden types still roam the Earth terrorizing countries and peoples with newer weapons and newer methods of instilling terror. I see that the United States is no longer the sole superpower of the world -- the most powerful country on Earth. I see the most powerful countries dominating the world as being China, India, Brazil and Russia in that order. I see that China and India have become the equivalent of the US and the erstwhile Soviet Union - fighting another Cold War between them and competing for resources and influence around the world.

Pain signals often have two components: an acute sensation of "first pain" which is felt almost immediately after an injury, and
o-na [289]

Answer:

This suggests that neurons that send the signals that we perceive as first pain Myelinated Tpye A-delta___, and neurons that send the signals that we perceive as second pain Unmyelinated-Type C.___.

Explanation:

Physiologically, primary afferent neurons that innervated the the touch, pain, temperature,and pressure receptors in the effectors  to input sensory signals to the spinal cord and the brain  are categorized based on their diameter, sizes, and nature of  myelination. Based on this;

<u>A-alpha has the largest diameter, myelinated, and sensitive to sensation from the muscle cells</u>

<u>A-beta are next in diameter, myelinated and sensitive to sensation  of touch.</u>

A-delta followed in diameter, and  size. They are mylinated, and sensitive to pain and temperature.

<u>C-fibres are least in diameter, they are unmyelinated, but sensitive to pain, touch and temperature.</u>

<u />

<u>Therefore, if the speed of conduction,of action  potential in a neuron depends on the diameter(thickness) and myelination of the axon(saltatory conduction)</u> :

''then, acute sensation/ first pain should be transmitted by the A-delta fibre. While the the slower/second pain should be transmitted by the slower unmyelinated - C-fibres''.

What are the similarities between interspecific and intraspecific competitions?
Lerok [7]

Answer: If you break the two terms down, "intraspecific" just means within a species, while "interspecific" means between them. Consequently, interspecific competition is all about competition between two or more species, while intraspecific competition involves different individuals of the same species.
