Define Diffusuin
Definition

Where molecules of a substance move from an area where there is a high concentration of molecules, to an area where there is a low concentration of those molecules.

 

Eventually, equilibriumis reached

Term
What is Daltons Law?
Definition
"The total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the sum of the individual partial pressure for the gases in that mixture"
Term
What isthe partial pressure of Nitrogen?
Definition
78%
Term
What is the partial pressure of Oxygen?
Definition
21%
Term
what is the (total) presure of air at sea level?
Definition
760 mm Hg
Term
How do you find the partial pressure of a gas?
Definition

multiply its %age by total pressure

 

(%gas x total pressure = partial pressure)

Term
what are the effects of high altitude initially?
Definition

Ventilation rate increases

heart rate increases

Term
what are the effects of high altitude after 10 days?
Definition

re blood cell count goes up

capillaries increase

Term
what are the factors which diving mamals face and how do they overcome them?
Definition

Immense Pressure

Ears --> filled with fat

Sinus --> fat/not have them

Lungs --> exhale, collapsable ribs


Lack of Oxygen

Store more O2 in their Myoglobin. Direct blood to vital organs only. Move slowly. Lower heart rate.


Cold

-BLUBBER

-Insulator


How to move and hunt with limited oxygen

Feed at surface

Certain species live at depth


Build up of CO2

CO2 + H2O --> H2CO3 (low PH)

Tolerance


Darkness

Sonar 

Vibrations

Smell
