Lab 10 Blood and the Heart BIO202L Student Name: GILB BIN Access Code (located on the lid of your lab kit): AC-UOE Lab Report Format Expectations Utilize college level grammar and professional formatting when completing this worksheet. Submissions without proper formatting, all required photos or sufficient responses will be rejected. Pre-lab Questions 1. Research the process of erythropoiesis, and explain the role erythropoietin plays in the body. The process of making new red blood cells, known as erythropoiesis, occurs in the bone marrow.Erythropoietin is a hormone secreted by the kidneys that promotes the production of red blood cells. Erythropoietin is secreted to promote red blood cell production when oxygen levels drop, which raises oxygen concentrations. 2. Based on your response to Question 1, above, why do you think erythropoietin is a popular “doping” drug for athletes? Erythropoietin is a common "doping" substance used by sportsmen because it increases oxygen consumption by promoting the creation of red blood cells.. 3. How would the hemoglobin content differ in a person living in Philadelphia (Elevation: 39 feet) compared to someone living in Denver (Elevation: 5280 feet)? Explain your reasoning using the information you provided in Question 1. At greater elevations, oxygen concentrations are lower. Hemoglobin concentration varies mostly due to variations in height above sea level. Denver's 5280, for example, is far higher than Philadelphia, which is a low-lying location with a large air column, and therefore lower oxygen concentrations. Lab 10 Blood and the Heart BIO202L EXPERIMENT 1: CLASSIFICATION OF BONES Introduction Questions 1. In this experiment, you will investigate the valves utilized by the heart. What other organs or body systems incorporate valves? List and describe these, being sure to elaborate on how they are used. (Hint: Your response should be 4-6 sentences long.) vascular structures.The blood can only flow in one direction due to the passages and valves in the blood arteries.The vital channels that carry blood throughout the body are called blood vessels. Specialized passages and valves are installed in these complex circuits. These valves, which only permit blood to flow in one direction within the veins, are essential for controlling blood flow. In addition to minimizing backflow and preserving the integrity of the cardiovascular system, this unidirectional flow guarantees effective circulation. The valves serve as gatekeepers, allowing blood to be sent from the heart to the body's tissues and organs while replenishing the heart with deoxygenated blood. The appropriate operation of the cardiovascular system and general physiological well-being depend o
