What is the function of the respiratory system? - Answer Provides a means of gas exchange between the environment and the body Plays a role in the regulation of acid-base balance during exercise What is Ventilation? - Answer the mechanical process of moving air into and out of lungs What is Respiration? - Answer process by which O2 moves out of lungs into the blood, and CO2 moves from blood into lungs What is Diffusion? - Answer the movement of molecules from areas high concentrations ...

cell - Answer the smallest living unit of the body homeostasis - Answer maintenance of constant internal environment during unstressed conditions ( at rest) dynamic constancy - Answer most physiological variables vary around some set value steady state - Answer physiological variable is constant but not normal sensor - Answer component capable of detecting changes (stimuli) in the environment (usually brain aka hypothalamus, endocrine organ aka pancreas) control center - Answer as...

In general, the higher the intensity of the activity, the greater the contribution of - Answer anaerobic energy production. The complete oxidation of glucose involves the usage of three metabolic processes in the following order - Answer glycolysis, Krebs cycle, electron transport chain Because of complex control systems, the body always maintains homeostasis, even during prolonged or high intensity exercise. - Answer False The two primary tissues that act as storage sites for carbohydr...
