During exercise, cardiac output may increase by more than 170% to meet the body’s increased O₂ demands. This increase in cardiac

output increases blood pressure. But the accompanying increase in arterial pressure is relatively small—only about 40%. What limits this increase in blood pressure so that it doesn’t reach dangerously high levels during exercise?a. Blood vessels shorten in the contracting skeletal muscles.b. Blood volume decreases due to sweating.c. Vasodilation causes arterial diameter to increase in the exercising skeletal muscle.d. Hematocrit decreases as more interstitial fluid enters the blood vessels.

Answer:

c. Vasodilation causes arterial diameter to increase in the exercising skeletal muscle

Explanation:

Cardiac output increases blood pressure due to increased pumping action of the heart. To protect the blood pressure to rise to the fatal levels during exercise or any other activity of excessive muscle contraction, blood vessels are stimulated to dilate.

Dilation of arteries dissipates some of the blood pressure. The arteries with larger diameter have less blood pressure than the arteries with a narrow cavity under the conditions of the same cardiac output. Therefore, the dilation of arteries Dilation does not allow the blood pressure to rise to the harmful levels.

Explain why glucose consumption must increase in hypoxic tissues to provide the same amount of ATP that could be produced from g
slega [8]

Answer: B. In hypoxic tissues, in contrast to normoxic tissues, ATP is additionally consumed to transform lactate to pyruvate

Explanation:

In hypoxic tissues such as new cancerous cells, the vascular system is still underdeveloped, thus oxygen supply is reduced. To meet energy need, additional glucose is needed to convert lactate (result of anaerobic glycolysis) to pyruvate which can then go into the TCA cycle to yield energy. This phenomenon is very common in muscle tissues during exercise.

Select the layers of Earth that are completely solid. A. crust B. inner core C. outer core D. lower mantle E. asthenosphere
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The correct answer would be A. crust.

The crust is the outermost layer of the earth which is composed of different types of rocks such as sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks.

It is completely solid and can be broadly classified into two types: continental crust and oceanic crust.

The thickness of the oceanic crust is about 5 km to 10 km. It is primarily composed of basalt, gabbro, and diabase.

The thickness of the continental crust is around 30 km to 50 km.  

The crust forms lithosphere along with hard and upper mantle.

Water can act as either a(n) _____ or a _____. acid, base solute, solvent anion, cation salt, mixture
IgorC [24]
Water can act as either a base or an acid. Water acts as an acid by donating a hydrogen ion when it reacts with a stronger base such as sodium hydroxide. Water may also act as a base when it accepts hydrogen ion when reacting with a strong acid such as hydrochloric acid. This is based on Bronsted concept and definition of a base ( proton acceptor) and acid (proton donor). Such a  compound that can act as a base and as an acid is called an amphiprotic molecule.
