Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following statements about oxygen transport is TRUE.
Increases in temperature and decreases in pH cause myoglobin to release
oxygen to improve delivery to the hemoglobin in muscles.
A molecule of myoglobin has higher oxygen binding capacity than a molecule of
hemoglobin.
Myoglobin has a higher oxygen affinity than does hemoglobin.
Fetal hemoglobin has a lower affinity for oxygen than maternal hemoglobin,
which makes it better suited to extract oxygen from the maternal circulation.
When holding your breath, you must eventually exhale because:
High levels of carbon dioxide are making your blood acidic
You need more oxygen to drive cellular respiration
You need oxygen to drive glycolysis
Increased levels of carbon dioxide are making your blood basic
None of the above
Myoglobin would be an inappropriate carrier of oxygen to peripheral tissues
because:
Myoglobin exists in the T, or deoxy state, in muscle tissue.
Myoglobin would not release oxygen at the oxygen pressures found in muscle
tissue.
Myoglobin has lower affinity and would lose the oxygen to hemoglobin during
transport.
Myoglobin is only soluble in plasma.
Two of the above.

- You are a deep sea diver who loves the thrill of diving in deep waters to explore sunken treasures. You are careful to follow all the rules of diving including monitoring how much air you have in your tank and how long you can stay deep down. Without warning, your gauges fail, leaving you without information about the air in your tank. You have to think quickly to save your life! You ask yourself: How will my body maintain homeostasis in this extreme condition? Your task: 1. Identify the human body system primarily and directly affected by exposure to such high pressures. 2. Explain how this body system functions normally. Compare and contrast that information with how this system responds to high pressure to help you survive. 3. Discuss how other body systems work to help you maintain stability in deep waters. What consequences will you have to avoid for you to reach the surface alive? 4.
