Answer:
Increasing the alveolar ventilation rate will increase the partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli.
Explanation:
Alveolar Ventilation rate is the rate of air flow in the alveoli of the lung during normal breathing. It is measured in milliliters of air per minute (mL/min). The alveolar ventilation rate is an important factor in determining the concentrations (partial pressures) of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the functioning alveoli.
A high rate of alveolar ventilation, would result in a rapid influx of oxygen-rich air and efflux carbon dioxide-filled air from the alveoli. This ultimately results in an increase in the concentration of oxygen and a decrease in the concentration of carbon dioxide within the alveoli.
Effects of alveolar ventilation on partial pressures of alveolar carbon dioxide and oxygen (PACO₂ and PAO₂)
If the alveolar ventilation rate is increased (and carbon dioxide production is unchanged), then the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the alveoli, PACO₂ will decrease.
If the alveolar ventilation rate increases, then the partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli, PAO₂ will increase.
Circulatory system:
--The circulatory system is also known as the cardiovascular system.
-- It is composed of the heart, blood, blood vessels and also includes the lungs.
The primary function of the circulatory system to distribute oxygen, nutrients, hormones and other gases to cells of the other body systems. It delivers all the necessary components needed for all the cell activities. Without the circulatory system, we would not be alive.
It is our blood that carries these necessary nutrients, hormones, and oxygen. All these components trigger certain processes that keep other organs functioning. It also plays a role in eliminating waste by carrying them to the necessary organs that will filter them out. Without a way to dispose of waste, the body will eventually die.
There are two questions (1 and 2), answer are provided as such. The cha
Answer to Question 1
Population --> Whole Organism --> Organ system --> Organ --> Tissue --> Cell
Explanation:
- The cell is the simplest, basic and functional unit of life.
- Tissue is a collection of similar cells e.g brain tissue
- Organ is a collection of similar tissues e.g Liver, Lungs
- Organ system refers to a group of closely related organs performing the same function in an organism.
- Organism comprises of well-coordinated organ systems.
- Population refers to the total number of organisms living and breeding together.
Answer to Question 2
Cell --> Genome --> Gene --> Nucleotide
Explanation:
A cell consists of a nucleus and other organelles. Within the nucleus & other organelles like mitochondria lies the total genetic material of the cell known as GENOME.
- The genome contains several functional sequence of bases known as GENE.
- A gene is made of triplets of nucleotides (codons)
Y - y1 = m (x - x1) - this is one equation you can use
