Why do you pass out if you lock your knees?

Biology
1 answer:
Inga [223]3 years ago
8 0
It's caused by blood pooling in the legs, so there's insufficient return to the heart and brain. Normally, moving one's legs helps to pump blood back to the heart through muscle contraction. Locking the knees makes standing still easier, but reduces use of the leg muscles. In some people, this pooling may lead to hypoperfusion of the brain and fainting, which is essentially the body's way of putting the brain and the legs and the heart at the same level.

What were your predicted results for glucose transport in the presence of DNP? Briefly state the physiologic basis for your pred
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Prediction results for glucose transport in the presence of Dinitrophenol (DNP) are as following:

  1. Decreased transport of glucose
  2. DNP disrupts the gradient of protons and the output of ATP
  3. ATP needed for the Na+/K+ pump to the est. Gradient Na+
  4. The gradient required for Sodium-glucose cotransporters (SGLTs)

Dinitrophenol (DNP) is an uncoupler, or is capable of separating electron flow and H+ ion pumping for ATP synthesis. This means that ATP synthesis can not use the energy from electron transfer, hence it will support in lab as well.
