True. Ventilation perfusion coupling is the relationship between the amount of air reaching the air sacs of the lungs and the amount of blood reaching the lungs (mechanisms which maintain the correct proportion between alveolar airflow and pulmonary capillary blood flow). The amount of oxygen that reaches the alveoli is the ventilation. The amount of blood that gets to the alveoli is the perfusion. Alveolar ventilation brings oxygen into the lung and removes carbon dioxide. The mixed venous blood brings carbon dioxide into the lung and takes up alveolar oxygen.

Maru [420]

Answer:

The correct answer is- muscle

Explanation:

Glycogen is the body gets stored mainly in two places which are muscles and liver. During intense exercise glycogen which is stored in the muscle provides the main source of energy. So during exercise blood glucose levels do not reduce much because muscle also uses stored glycogen to get energy so as a result blood glucose level remains stable.

After the exercise, the glycogen in the muscle is again replenished because of the increase rate of glycogen synthesis after the exercise. Therefore the correct answer is muscle.

DaniilM [7]
<span>Reticulocytes are immature red blood cells. Red blood cells that haven't fully developed, yet. When our bodies lose a large amount of blood, we rapidly produce reticulocytes, so that our bodies can quickly replenish their red blood supplies.
