ch42 Flashcards
(13 cards)
fiks law
states that the rate at which diffusion occurs is proportional to the concentration gradient (easier in small animals)
spiricle
external repository opening on insects.
Three things that use counter current
fish girls for O2
whale tongue for heat in blood
loop of henle to obtain proper osmolarity
tracheas
when a larger inscets wing moves up and down it changes with size (O2 intake )
alveoli
gas exchange loaction (smallest)
positive pressure
air pushed into the lungs (frog)
negitive pressure
air pulled into the lungs(human)
what facilitates the movement of oxygen(on hemoglobin)
the partial pressure of the area around
cooperative binding
Starts slow then once one goes it triggers a chain reaction
Bohr shift
Hemoglobin gives off more oxygen (shift right) when the Ph lowers
what happens to the curve when temperature rises
it also shifts right similar pehnomenon to the bohr shift
why is fetal hemoglobin is shifted left
is allows it to take up more oxygen which promotes growth
myoglobin
found in muscle and stores O2 (high amounts in whales and fast swimming fish)
