Study of Oxygen Consumption to Measure Energy Metabolism in Mammals Brianne Simonsen Lab Section 8 4 Oct. 2005 Abstract In this experiment the oxygen consumption of a mouse in environments of varying temperatures was studied. The hypothesis behind this experiment was that more oxygen would be consumed at a lower temperature to maintain body heat. To measure the rate of oxygen consumption a mouse was given a specific amount of oxygen. The amount consumed in a specific time was measured and

Nancy Yedanapalli physio ex Activity 6 1. Explain why the larger waves seen on the oscilloscope represent ventricular contraction. a. The ventricular contraction is of greater force than the atrial contraction‚ since the ventricular contraction functions to send blood throughout the entire body (systemic circulation)‚ where as the contraction of the atrium send blood only to the lungs and rest of the the heart (pulmonary circulation). 2. Explain why the amplitude

Circulatory System Composition of Blood Red Cells -These are tiny‚ disc-like cells which do not have nuclei. -In their cytoplasm is the haemoglobin‚ a protein combined with iron. Haemoglobin combines with oxygen in places where there is a high concentration of oxygen‚ to form oxyhaemoglobin. -Oxyhagemoglobin is unstable compound. It breaks down and releases its oxygen in places where oxygen contentration is low. White Cells -They undergo a process of matruation and development in the

conditions is achieved by the coordination of all the organs and tissues. In the body positive‚ negative and feed-forward feedback mechanisms occur. Generally to maintain homeostasis the body uses the negative feedback mechanisms.There is a general homeostatic mechanism. It involves disruptors or stimuli‚ detectors or sensors‚ control system‚ efferent pathway and effectors. Certain disruptors produce a change in variable. The sensors sense the change. The information about the change is then sent to the
