As heart rate increases, blood pumps faster through your body and you start to have better reflexes. You brain sends out signals to your legs. This can be an example of the flight or fight response. Your leg and arm muscles tighten up, blood is decreasing from lesser needed spots such as your chest, back, and head areas.

During deep inspiration, our body thinks we have little amount of blood in circulation and so it tries to maintain the cardiac output by increasing the heart rate.

Having said that, I'll try to explain further.

When we breathe in, the pressure in our thoracic cavity reduces. This causes a couple of things to happen:
<span><span><span>There is an increase in the venous return from the superior and inferior vena cava to right atrium of the heart. </span>This causes an enormous flow of blood to the right ventricle,and ultimately to the lungs
</span><span><span>The lungs expand. </span>This makes them reserve more blood. So, blood pools in the lungs and less return to the left atrium.</span></span><span>SO WHAT? </span>
<span>Well, since there is a decrease in the amount of blood that gets back to the heart, the heart pumps less amount of blood to the systemic circulation. This decrease in the amount of blood coming from the heart is sensed by baroreceptors located in the arch of the aorta and the carotid bifurcation. These 'guys' are known as the carotid and aortic bodies. They trigger the sympathetic nervous system to produce adrenaline which causes the heart rate to increase. </span>

WHY?
This is all in the aim of maintaining cardiac output.
Cardiac output is calculated as:
CO (cardiac output) = Heart rate X Stroke Volume (the volume of blood released from the heart with each heart beat)
<span>Hence, </span>if the stroke volume decreases, the heart rate increases.

<span>When we exhale deeply, the opposite happens. There is an increase in the venous return to the left atrium from of the heart, leading to an increase in stroke volume, and a decrease in heart rate. (to maintain cardiac output, as explained earlier).</span>

Passive movement of water and solutes from the plasma to the capsular space of kidney corpuscles is a process known as _________
wel

The answer is ultrafiltration. This is helped by the hydrostatic pressure and blood pressure in afferent renal arteriole. Molecules such as water, glucose, urea, sodium chloride, amino acids pass through the semipermeable membrane of the dense capillary network of the glomerulus to form glomerular filtrate. Some of these molecules are later reabsorbed in the renal tubules.

Almost all cells in an animal (except gametes) have __ sets of chromosomes? in other words, how many homologs for a particular c
anastassius [24]
The answer is 2. This is why their autosomal cells are referred to as diploid in chromosome number. The gametes have only one set of chromosomes. The homologous pair (sister chromosome) separate during meiosis I. If there was an extra chromosome in addition to this set then this would cause a condition called aneuploidy.

Organic molecules that end in the suffix "-ase" often function as ________ molecules.
dimaraw [331]

The given blank can be filled with enzymatic molecules.  

Enzymes refer to biological molecules or proteins, which function as catalysts and assist the composite reactions to take place everywhere in life. The enzymes generally end with the suffix - ase. For example, proteases, which functions to dissociate the peptide bonds between the amino acids.  

Enzymes are big molecules, which accelerate the rate of chemical reactions within the cells, and like all other kinds of proteins, they comprise lengthy chains of amino acids.
