Which of the following statements about the response of arteriolar smooth muscle to changing oxygen partial pressures is TRUE?

Biology
1 answer:
KengaRu [80]3 years ago
6 0

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).

How do you think sub-atomic particles (protons, neutrons, and electrons) affect the atom and its behavior?
Blizzard [7]
Protons and Neutrons affect the mass. Protons and Electrons change the charge of the atom (positively or negatively charged). Valence electrons are the ones that do fun stuff in chemical reactions, they are responsible for making/breaking bonds, at least to my understanding.

Hope this helps.

Although a low fat diet is generally desirable for persons who would like to restrict their caloric intake, a no fat diet is no recommended by nutritionists or doctors since there is a dietary need for some fat in the diet.</span>
