remove by-products of metabolism
| | |




Single-cell organisms - ANSWER✔✔✔-Do diffusion directly with
| | | | | | |



environment, don't need a circulatory system | | | | |




What happens as diffusion distance increases? - ANSWER✔✔✔-
| | | | | | |



Pressure decreases & cells further away get their nutrients slower, and
| | | | | | | | | | |



the supply is reduced by closer cells
| | | | | |




60-40-20 rule - ANSWER✔✔✔-60% of body weight is water
| | | | | | | |




40% is found in cells
| | | |




20% is found in extracellular part
| | | | |




Fluid Movement: Sweating - ANSWER✔✔✔-Water is lost from
| | | | | | | |



extracellular compartment (interstitial), remaining interstitial fluid
| | | | | |



becomes hypertonic (inc [solute]) | | |




- water pulled from intravascular (plasma) compartment, inc plasma
| | | | | | | | |



osmolarity leads to osmotic mvmd of water from in cell to out of cell
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

,Homeostasis of cells dependent on - ANSWER✔✔✔-composition of
| | | | | | | |



interstitial fluid |




- adequate blood flow
| | |




- pressure & resistance
| | |




- minimal diffusion distances
| | |




Pulmonary circulation is (in series/parallel) with systemic circulation? -
| | | | | | | | |



ANSWER✔✔✔-in series so all of O2 rich blood can move out into | | | | | | | | | | | |



systemic circulation|




Organs arranged in (series/parallel)? - ANSWER✔✔✔-parallel so blood
| | | | | | | |



to all organs has identical composition, flow thru organs can be
| | | | | | | | | | |



controlled independently of other organs
| | | |




What influences the distribution of blood flow? - ANSWER✔✔✔-Local
| | | | | | | | |



metabolism


Constricting diameter of vessel = - ANSWER✔✔✔-decrease blood flow
| | | | | | | | |



downstream, increasing resistance | |




Veins are (conductance/resistance) vessels taking blood (to/away from)
| | | | | | | |



heart - ANSWER✔✔✔-conductance, take blood to heart
| | | | | |

, Arteries are (conductance/resistance) vessels taking blood (to/away
| | | | | | |



from) heart - ANSWER✔✔✔-conductance, away from heart
| | | | | |




arterioles are (conductance/resistance) vessels - ANSWER✔✔✔-
| | | | |



resistance
- regulate flow to peripheral organs
| | | | |




Capillary bed function - ANSWER✔✔✔-ensure that no cell is more than
| | | | | | | | | | |



10 micrometers form the capillaries
| | | |




Capillaries are the site of - ANSWER✔✔✔-exchange of nutrients and
| | | | | | | | | |



waste


Process of blood carrying substances to tissues is - ANSWER✔✔✔-
| | | | | | | | |



convective transport |




Bulk flow - ANSWER✔✔✔-all constituents of blood move together
| | | | | | | |




Rate of transport of any individual substance in blood is determined by -
| | | | | | | | | | | |



ANSWER✔✔✔--concentration of the substance
| | | |




- blood flow
