Answer: b - Chondroblasts within the cartilage divide and secrete new matrix
Explanation: Chondroblasts are derived from two sources; mesenchymal cells within the center of chondrification and chondrogenic cells of the inner cellular layer of the perichondrium (coverings that lie over most cartilage).
At the chondrification centers, the cartilage forming cells (Chondroblasts) begin to secrete the components of extracellular matrix of cartilage. As the amount of matrix increases, the Chondroblasts become separated from each other and they are located in small cavity within the matrix called lacunae.
Concurrently, the cells differentiate into matured cartilage cells called chondrocytes.
Answer: Her body begins doing cellular respiration
Explanation: She needs her electron transport chain to function to produce 34+ ATP. The E.T.C. Needs oxygen to work, so she needs to increase her oxygen input. She breathes more to increase the flow of oxygen. Her heart also beats faster because she needs more oxygen to spread to her body.
The term in question is referred to as osmoregulation.
Since water and its soluted metabolites are key to the survival and normal function of the cell, there are many membrane proteins that regulate the exchange of water, ions and other osmolites between the cell and its surroundings.
The two semilunar valves, the pulmonary and aortic valves, are closed, preventing backflow of blood into the right and left ventricles from the pulmonary trunk on the right and the aorta on the left.
