Answer:
The <u>PCO₂</u> -carbon dioxide partial pressure- in the alveoli is 40 mm Hg and that of the blood entering the pulmonary capillaries is <u>45 mmHg</u>. This causes <u>carbon dioxide</u> to diffuse down its partial pressure gradient from the blood into the alveoli.
Explanation:
Gas exchange is a physiological process that involves the entry of oxygen into the body and tissues and the exit of carbon dioxide, a product of metabolic reactions.
At the pulmonary level, gas exchange occurs between the alveoli and the alveolar capillary, and the diffusion of gases across the alveolar-capillary barrier is dependent on a pressure gradient due to the partial pressure of gases.
In the case of CO₂ the diffusion goes from where the partial pressure is higher to where it is lower, i.e. <u>from the alveolar capillary, where the PCO₂ is 45 mmHg, to the pulmonary alveolus, where the PCO₂ is 40 mmHg</u>.

Answer: Option B
Pigs wallow in the mud to cool themselves down.
Explanation: Pigs' skin contains lots of fats, and fats serves as thermal insulator during cold (low temperatures); unfortunately, this feature turns becomes a disadvantage during heat (high temperatures). Hence, pigs frequently wallows in the mud (or any nearby cool water place) - to reduce their body temperature.
Answer:
36,792,000
Explanation:
Using some math, if you say that it beats at 70 pm, then you should look for how much it beats in an hour, which is 4200 (60x70). Then you have to take that number and multiply by 24, which is 100,800. In a day it beats about that amount. Then you take that number and multiply by 365, which is 36,792,000.
Answer:
Calcitonin- reduce blood calcium level
Parathyroid hormone- Raise blood calcium level
Explanation:
The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland which secrete its hormone in the blood directly. Both calcitonin and parathyroid hormone are released by the thyroid gland. Parathyroid hormone is released when the blood calcium level is low.
Parathyroid hormone increases the blood calcium level by osteoclast stimulation which releases calcium from bones and increases blood calcium level. Calcitonin is antagonistic to parathyroid hormone and it reduce the blood calcium level in the blood by stimulating the activity of osteoblast.
