Write out the balanced chemical equation for the formation of bicarbonate and a protonfrom CO2 and water (1 pt).

H20 + CO2 <-> H2CO3 <-> H+ + HCO3-

What ion in the interstitial/tissue fluid changes with changes in CO2.

H+

Why do osteichtheys have such a high surface area and efficient gas exchange systemcompared to terrestrial animals with lungs?

There is less O2 and denser media to move in aquatic environments soosteichtheys need to have a more efficient respiratory system.

In regards to gas exchange (external respiration) in gills, how much more efficient iscounter current exchange compared to co-current exchange?

It is five times more efficient than co-current exchange.

Where does ventilation occur?

lungs

Where does external respiration occur?

between the lungs and blood

Where does internal respiration occur?

between blood and cells

Where does reduction of oxygen to water occur?

in the cells

Name a gas, other than O2, that can strongly bind to the iron complex in hemoglobin

Carbon Monoxide

Suppose you were an endurance athlete, how could you increase the oxygen carryingcapacity of your blood?

Increase your amount of hemoglobin.

Compared to blood with no hemoglobin, about how much do red blood cells containinghemoglobin increase the oxygen binding capacity?

100 times.

Name an animal that likely has a much higher surface area of olfactory epithelia (witholfactory receptors) than a human?

A dog.

On a cool dry day, which part of your face is likely the coldest (assuming that you do nothave a head cold)?

Your nose.

Considering what happens to blood in the kidney, why have hemoglobin in cells (redblood cells) instead of just free in the blood?

If hemoglobin was free in the blood it would filter through the kidneys, butbecause it is in the cells it cannot pass through the filter in the kidneys.

Where does exchange of gas between blood and air occur?

bronchiole and alveolus

Where is elastin important in function?

alveoli

What drives the movement of gases between air and blood and between blood and tissues?

gas concentration differences

Sigh got in a knife fight with Godwin over some duck jerky while filming an episode ofCluck Dismally. Godwin stabbed Sigh in the rib cage and ruptured the pleuralmembranes. What is Sigh’s likely clinical outcome?

A collapsed lung
