Where in the body would you find low oxygen levels causing vasoconstriction and high levels causing vasodilation?

The correct answer is the lungs. Usually, in the systemic organs such as the liver, kidneys, and the heart; hypoxia or low oxygen levels cause the blood vessels supplying them to vasodilate to increase flow of blood and prevent ischemia. Adequate oxygenation of systemic organs cause the blood supply to vasoconstrict to prevent pooling of oxygenated blood and shunt it to other organs that need the oxygen more.

However, in the lungs, the opposite is true because in the setting of hypoxia, the blood vessels of the lungs vasoconstrict as to shunt the blood to other parts of the lungs with adequate oxygenation for the blood to be adequately oxygenated. If there is adequate oxygen in the lungs, then blood vessels vasodilate to efficiently get the oxygen from the lungs.

<span>The answer for the question is the lungs.
Vasodilation means the smooth muscles in the blood vessel walls relax causing them to widen. The widening results in less vsacular resistance, thus the blood flow through the dilated vessel increases. Vasocontsriction on the other hand means the smooth muscles in the blood vessel walls contract causing them to narrow. The action results in blood flow through the vessels to be restricted. </span>

Drawing a cartoon in pencil, then going back over it later with an ink pen is most similar to which biological process?
Montano1993 [528]

Given that the main reason for which an artist will retrace a drawing in pen is to <u>correct errors </u>and achieve a <u>final draft</u>, we can compare this to the biological process of DNA proofreading.

DNA proofreading is a <u>biological process </u>that takes place during the biosynthesis of DNA. During this time, a chain of <u>DNA </u>is read and a complementary chain is creating, <u>effectively duplicating the genetic code</u>.

During this process, DNA proofreading takes place. This is described as a process in which the DNA polymerase retraces the genetic code, detecting and fixing any errors in the synthesis before the strand is closed once again.

The fact is that both processes, despite taking place in astronomically different situations, share a final goal which is to prepare the "product" for the "final draft". This allows us to draw <u>valid</u> <u>comparisons </u>between the retracing of a <u>cartoon </u>and the <u>proofreading </u>of <u>DNA </u>by the DNA polymerase enzyme.
