The following table shows data on the relationship between a person’s weekly salt intake and his or her systolic blood pressure.
a. Plot the data into the graph. (look at table)
For plotting, use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the data from the table on the graph.
b.
Suppose Nick has a weekly salt intake of 11,800 milligrams.
Use the black point (X symbol) to plot the point on the graph that most likely corresponds to Nick’s data.

- Womersley number (a) of a human aorta is 20 and for the rabbit aorta is 17, the blood density is approximately the same across the species. The values of viscosity were 0.0035 Ns/m² for the human and 0.0040 Ns/m² for the rabbit. The diameter of the aorta is 2.0 cm for the man, and 0.7 cm for the rabbit, estimate the heart rate beats per minute (bpm) for both species.arrow_forwardQuestion 4 of 25 Use the diagram to answer the question. Some organisms use a single loop circulatory system such as the one shown. How is the transport of gases in such a design different from that in the circulatory systems found in humans? A. The transport of gases is more efficient because oxygenated blood mixes with deoxygenated blood. B. The transport of gases is less efficient because oxygenated blood mixes with deoxygenated blood. C. The transport of gases is more efficient because the distance between the heart and the capillaries is shorter. D. The transport of gases is less efficient because the distance between the heart and the capillaries is shorter.arrow_forwardA higher level of hemoglobin in the blood increases the blood’s density. This is the basis for a simple test that can be used to see if a prospective blood donor has a high enough hemoglobin level to donate safely. A drop of blood is placed in a copper sulfate solution, and the time for the drop to sink to the bottom is measured. If this time is too long, the hemoglobin level is toolow. Explain how this test works.arrow_forward
