Answer:

C. Systemic arterioles respond to a decrease in PO₂ by dilating, but pulmonary arterioles constrict in response to decreased PO₂.

Explanation:

In the arterioles, vasoconstriction is a response to high oxygen while vasodilation is a response to carbon dioxide and low pH. However, in the pulmonary arterioles, vasoconstriction occurs as a response to low oxygen and this mechanism is called hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV).

Which technique takes advantage of the requirement of glucose for more fuel?

<span>2-DG Autoradiography</span>

2-DG Autoradiography is a technique used to study the neuronal organization of certain aspect of behavior such as hibernation, thought, sleep and language. This technique can also be used to correlate some specific aspect of human behavior to regional pattern of glucose utilization in the brain. However, 2-DG Autoradiography was developed by sokoloff and his associates to determine and measure glucose utilization in the brain.
