_ play at least some role in regulating breathing - cns, motor pathways, somatic nervous system, autonomic nervous system a key aspect of cooperative binding by hemoglobin is that - it permits rapid uptake of oxygen in the lungs and greater delivery of oxygen once blood reaches capillaries in the body's tissues A shark's blood contains low concentration of ions but relatively high concentration of urea. This increases their blood osmolarity so that it is nearly osmotic with seawater. Base...
