Why does the exchange of gases between blood and body tissues not occur through the walls of arteries?

Biology
1 answer:
Novosadov [1.4K]2 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

Capillaries are thinnest blood vessels there are in human body or basically in any multicellular living creature. Capillaries are so thin, they are like a sheet made of cells. So there is nothing like capillaries which can introduce blood with the materials to be absorbed without letting both of them mix directly. Arteries and veins are too thick to carry out such exchange.

What do you call the red pigment found in vertebrates that functions in oxygen transport?
slava [35]
There are actually two red pigments found in certain vertebrates that function in oxygen transport (or storage). Hemoglobin is present in the blood of most vertebrates and binds oxygen molecules, in order to transport them to body tissues in need of oxygen for energy (ATP) production.
Myoglobin, mainly in mammals, is a protein (enzyme) found in red (skeletal) muscle cells, that aids in binding oxygen when it's plentiful being delivered via blood. The purpose is that in high stress, low oxygen situations such as strenuous exercise, the myoglobin releases its bound oxygen to provide it to the starving overworked muscle cells.
**Fun fact: it's the hemoglobin that gives the bright red color of blood when it's bound to oxygen, and the myoglobin of mammal flesh gives it the typical pinkish-red hue that is seen in mammalian meat (veal, steak, ham, venison, bison, etc.). Other non-mammalian animals (fish, birds, frogs, snake, alligator, etc.) tend to have lighter-colored skeletal muscle meat due to the lack of myoglobin, amongst other factors.

ESP: actuan las hormonas solo sobre celulas o pueden actuar sobre otras estructuras?
svetlana [45]

Hormones act only on cells not structures.

Hormones act only on cells and they  do not act on other structures because there are specific cells have receptors for that particular hormone. Some hormones bind itself to the receptors on the surface of target cells whereas other hormones enter the cells and bind itself to the receptors present in the cytoplasm or nucleus of the cell.
