In tracheal systems

What is the function of a circulatory system?

It brings a transport liquid into close contact with all cells in the body

Hyperventilation (rapid inhalation and exhalation) can result in respiratory alkalosis (increased blood pH). Why?

Rapid breathing depletes the blood of carbon dioxide, thus the blood pH increases.

Which of the following would you expect of a species that has a high resting cardiac output?

The animal likely has a very long distance between its heart and its brain.

Which event occurs first during atrial and ventricular diastole?

The atria and ventricles are relaxed, and blood flows into the atria.

Why do the circulatory systems of land vertebrates have separate circuits to the lungs and to the rest of the body?

The large decrease in blood pressure as blood moves through the lungs may prevent efficient circulation through the rest of the body.

Blood is pumped at high pressures in arteries from the heart to ensure that all parts of the body receive adequate blood flow. Capillary beds, however, would hemorrhage under direct arterial pressures. How does the design of the circulatory network contribute to reducing blood pressure to avoid this scenario?

The total cross-sectional diameter of the arterial circulation increases with progression from artery to arteriole to capillary, leading to a reduced blood pressure.

Which event of the cardiac cycle occurs when systolic blood pressure is measured?

The ventricles contract, carrying blood into the aorta, and blood flows into the relaxed atria.

Humans infected with some types of parasitic worms develop a condition called elephantiasis, which is characterized by swelling of the limbs. Which of the following would be the most likely cause of elephantiasis?

The worms are blocking the lymph vessels.

While jogging, a person has a stroke volume of 130 ml/beat and a heart rate of 120 beats per minute. If their resting stroke volume was 70 ml/beat and resting heart rate was 60 beats per minute, how did this person's cardiac output change?

Their cardiac output increased from 4,200 ml/minute to 15,600 ml/minute after jogging.
