Is rate of respiration in a big animal same as small animal?

1 answer:

6 0

The respiration rate is much higher in smaller organisms. Larger organisms metabolize at a slower rate than smaller ones probably because smaller organisms are continuing to grow and therefore growing at a faster rate. So, small organisms produce excess carbon dioxide.

-Functionalism is the field concerned with how mental processes help organisms adapt to their environment.

-Wilhelm Wundt established structuralism; he broke down consciousness into its two basic elements- subjective feelings and objective sensations.

-William James established functionalism; James disagreed with the functionalists and believed that consciousness couldn't be broken down as structuralists believed because it was a continuous stream of consciousness.

-Similarities are that subjective feelings and objective sensations are included in a continuous stream of consciousness as well as many other things. Organisms can adapt to their environment by using their subjective feelings and objective sensations and thoughts in order to solve problems that occur in their environment.

Expiratory reserve volume (ERV) You ask your lab partner to inspire a normal tidal inspiration, and breathe out a normal tidal e

Bumek [7]

The average expiratory reserve volume or ERV is 810.

<h3>What is expiratory reserve volume?</h3>

Expiratory reserve volume or ERV is the amount of air that is exhaled forcibly.
This can be measured using a spirometer and is used to detect restrictive lung diseases.
It is the maximum amount of air that can be exhaled after normal tidal volume is exhaled.
Respiratory volume is the volume of air which is either inhaled, exhaled or stored in your lungs.
The doctors estimate the reserve volume with the help of spirometer to determine some lung diseases.
Once diagnosed with a lung disease, spirometry is used to monitor it.
Here, 3 readings of ERV are taken, calculate the sum of the these and divide by 3 to calculate the average ERV.
ERV= (800+ 850+ 780)/ 3= 810

The technique psychologists use to measure electrical activity in the brain is 1. EEG 2. Lesion 3. FMri 4. CAT Scan 5. PET Scan

posledela

Answer:

The correct answer is 1. EEG.

EEG or electroencephalography is a technique used to measure the electrical activity of the brain.

8 to 16 pairs of electrodes are placed on the scalp which record the electrical activity or impulses (in volts) generated by thousands of neurons or nerve cells present in the brain.

It provides the real-time imaging of the electrical activity of the brain.

The recorded impulses are first sent to the amplifier as the magnitude of the brain's electrical impulses is very low.

The amplifier then amplifies the results and show it on the screen in the form of voltage units.
