Summary Introduction
Introduction: The interstitial fluid is present in the spaces between the tissue cells. The interstitial fluid makes up about 16 percentage of body weight. The interstitial fluid surrounds and bathes the cells of multicellular animals. The interstitial fluid contains salt, glucose, fatty acids, and minerals, such as magnesium, calcium, and potassium.

- Many invertebrates utilize the body cavity as a circulatory system. However, in humans, the body cavity plays no role whatsoever in circulation. Why?arrow_forwardA male has lost blood as a result of a gunshot wound. Even though thebleeding has been stopped, his blood pressure is low and dropping,and his heart rate is elevated. Following a blood transfusion, his bloodpressure increases and his heart rate decreases. Which of the following statement(s) is (are) consistent with these observations?a. Negative-feedback mechanisms can be inadequate without medical intervention.b. The transfusion interrupted a positive-feedback mechanism.c. The increased heart rate after the gunshot wound and before thetransfusion is a result of a positive-feedback mechanism.d. a and be. a, b, and carrow_forwardIn a freshwater fish, a. water moves into the fish by osmosis.b. ions diffuse into the fish.c. urine has a high solute concentration.d. cells pump ions out of the fish.arrow_forward

Upon closer examination, however, you note one difference that allows you to identify one specimen as an earthworm and the other as a roundworm. That key characteristic is: A. The presence of a gastrovascular cavity B. The presence of a body cavity C. The presence of a muscle layer around the digestive tract D. The absence of a specialized gas exchange surface E. None of the characteristics listed above would allow an earthworm to be distinguished from a roundwormarrow_forward

Longitudinal pumping vessel that runs mid-dorsal through the thorax and abdomen:- common to both toad and cockroach D. slit-like opening that eventually leads to the posterior respiratory tract- unique to toad E. ventral-longitudinal pair of nerves behind fat tissues: unique to toadarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is true? a.Cardiac muscle cells are found in the heart and large blood vessels. b.Cardiac muscle cells have many nuclei. c.Striated muscle cells are long and cylindrical with many nuclei. d.Smooth muscle cells have T tubules.arrow_forwardIn frogs, which of the following is not a factor making them dependent on water: O a.

- Which of the following physiologlcal responses is an example of positive feedback? . The body's production of red blood cells, which transport oxygen from the lungs to other organs, is stimulated by low concentrations of oxygen. b. A high concentration of glucose in the blood causes deeper, more rapid breathing, which expels carbon dioxide. C. Pressure of the baby's head near the opening of the uterus stimulates uterine contractions which cause greater pressure against the uterine opening. d. Heightened body temperature induces sweating which disposes of metabolic heat and cools the body.arrow_forwardWhich of the following animals must drink water to achieve osmotic balance? A. A marine bony fish such as a flounder B. A marine cartilaginous fish such as a shark C. A freshwater larval amphibian such as a tadpole D. A freshwater mollusc such as a snail E.
