*Blood flow is regulated in all three types of blood vessels through constriction and dilation.

*Contraction of blood vessels slows blood flow, while relaxation of blood vessels, or dilation, allows free flow of blood.

*Muscle fibers control the constriction and dilation of vessels. In the capillaries, rings of muscle called capillary sphincters control blood flow.

*The directional flow of blood in the veins is controlled with valves , which prevent backward blood flow when closed, and allow blood to flow only toward the heart when open.

Vasoconstriction and vasodilatation allow blood vessels (arteries and veins) to control blood flow and thus control the blood pressure. This is possible because of the smooth muscle cells that surround the vessels. The contraction and dilatation of those muscles is controlled by chemical signals (e.g. norepinephrine constricts the vessels, while NO dilates them).

What evolutionary changes were essential to the development of complex body plans?
andrezito [222]

The answer is C. This was achieved through gene regulatory networks. The ability of the cells to segment and differentiate gave the metazoans a great advantage. This is thought to have begun in the Cambrian period with complete bodies existing by the Paleozoic era.

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Breed "pure" mice with known genotypes that exhibit specific fur colors, and learn how traits are passed on via dominant and recessive genes. Mice can be stored in cages for future breeding, and the statistics of fur color are reported every time a pair of mice breed. Punnett squares can be used to predict results.
