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>

Which is of the following is necessary for natural selection? 1. There must be a shortage of food 2. There must be a change in t
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

It's 3!

Explanation:

There must be genetic differences so the best fitted organisms will survive. If they were all the same then no one would be best fitted and Natural Selection wouldn't be able to occur

It's not 1 because a food shortage isn't required, there's always competition for food sources

It's not 2 because there doesn't need to be a change in the environment for natural selection, just for evolution.

And it can't be 4 if 1 and 2 are wrong!

Hope this helped!

Key

A sorting device that is useful in classifying by observation is a <u>key</u>.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>Classification key or taxonomic key is a device that is used by scientists to identify unknown organisms. </u></em>
  • They are constructed so that the user gets a series of choices about the characteristics of the unknown organisms.Thus, by making the correct choice at each step, one is led to the identity of the specimen.
  • Therefore<u><em>, keys can be used to identify a living organism or determine which group it belongs to</em></u> by answering questions on the key about characteristics of living things.
