ESYS 101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 14: Partial Pressure, Toshiyori, Fetal Hemoglobin
Document Summary
One dies within 30 minutes while the other survives for a couple of hours. How might you explain this, assuming that their metabolic rates (oxygen consumption) are the same: ones likely more efficient at getting oxygen out of water (increased surface area. Increased surface area by: bigger lameli, length of gills, size of gills. La rinconada, peru -- (5,100 m/16,732 ft) -- 414 mmhg. Very poor mining people, only paid once a month (last day of month they take out what they want and keep it) Where you see conection between circulatory/respiratory systems. Anywhere above 7-8 thousand ft, ppl start to feel effects of altitude sickness. These ppl have about 55% of the oxygen we have, and show no signs of altitude sickness. Blood leaves vessels and flows among tissues. Blood stays inside a continuous network of vessels. Flow is faster than iin open systems. Found in all vertebrates and some invertebrates.
