Summary Introduction

To explain: The short-term variations in cardiovascular functions that help an animal to use skeletal muscles to run away from danger.

Concept introduction:

A skeleton can support an animal, protect its internal organs, and allows for the movement of an organism. There are three types of skeletons. They are hydrostatic skeleton, exoskeleton, and endoskeleton.

Which of the following statements best describes the differences in the regulation of cardiac and skeletal muscle contraction?     The amount of contractile force actively generated by muscle cells is increased by stretch in skeletal muscle and decreased by stretch in cardiac muscle.     Cardiac muscle is stimulated by motor neurons and skeletal muscle by neurones from the autonomic nervous system.     Skeletal muscle contractile force is augmented by increasing the firing frequency of action potentials whereas cardiac muscle contractile force is enhanced by noradrenaline increasing calcium influx through ion channels.     Ryanodine receptors in skeletal muscle are opened by a mechanism that requires calcium influx whereas in cardiac muscle membrane depolarisation alone without calcium influx is sufficient to open ryanodine receptors.
What are the important differences in the overall metabolic needs of a fish and a turtle and the ability of their circulatory systems to meet those needs? Select all that apply. Fish are less able to meet their metabolic needs than are turtles.  Fish have a two-chamber heart (one atrium and one ventricle) and turtles have a three-chambered heart (two atria and one ventricle). Turtles are endothermic and fish are ectothermic  Blood flows directly to other organs after being oxygenated in turtles, but return to the heart after being oxygenated in fish.  Turtles have a double,-circuit circulatory system whereas fish have a single circulatory system.
