The kidneys filter the blood to remove wastes and produce urine. The ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra together form the urinary tract, which acts as a plumbing system to drain urine from the kidneys, store it, and then release it during urination.
The answer is B. This the systolic pressure of a giraffe in comparison
to that of a human that is 100 mm Hg. This
high blood pressure ensures that the giraffe maintains 100 mmHg in the brain.
Since a high BP impairs gas exchange and increases transpulmonary filtration,
the pulmonary circulation must be separated. Therefore, in the giraffe, there
is a relatively great difference between the right ventricular and left ventricular
maximal rates of pressure ascent, the left ventricular rate of ascent being 5
times that calculated for the right ventricle.
