What happens to the human body when the hart rate increases

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>

4: Units of inheritance known as genes exist in pairs.
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

4. a

5. a

6. a

7. a

8. a

9. a

10. True

Explanation:

4. Units of inheritance in living organisms are known as genes. These genes exist in pairs in all organisms and a copy of each gene is passed down to the offspring during reproduction.

Correct option: a

5. Assuming the dominance of allele A over allele a:

                AA    x    aa

          Aa    Aa    Aa    Aa

All the offspring will appear tall since the effects of allele a is masked by allele A.

Correct option: a

6. From the cross in (5) above, the genotypic ratio of the offspring is 100% Aa.

Correct option: a

7. Alternate forms of genes in living organisms are known as alleles. A copy of the alleles is usually passed down to the offspring during the process of reproduction.

Correct option: a

8. Phenotypes are the physical appearance of organisms. They are physical interpretation of genes.

Correct option: a

9. The law of segregation was postulated by Gregor Mendel. It states that gene pairs segregate during the process of meiosis and then randomly unite during the process of fertilization.

Correct option: a

10 Heterozygous organisms have two different alleles for the same genes. For genes that obey Mendelian laws, heterozygous condition is characterized by one dominant and one recessive alleles.

In this lab, we assumed that the only acid in our juice sample was citric acid, but other acids may be present as well. Ascorbic
gregori [183]

Answer:

The presence of other acids in our juice causes our calculated concentration of citric acid to be falsely high.

Explanation:

The presence of other acids in our juice causes our calculated concentration of citric acid to be falsely high and we would have to account for the other acids in this case.
