Would gills function well with few blood vessels?
The gills would not function well because they need to get oxygen flowing through them to make the creature able to breathe.
Name the spicese which has five hearts?
Earthworms have five main blood vessels within their bodies. These vessels function in a similar function as would hearts in other animals.
Why does your body need oxygen to function?
we need oxygen to function because without oxygen we would suffocate to death. without oxygen we wouldn't exist right now.
What does having no blood vessels mean?
you would not be able to sents the nutrients and oxygen to your cells and you would be unable to live.
What is the function of blood in circulatory?
The function of blood in circulatory is to bring oxygen to the cells around the body. Without blood cells would not be able to get oxygen.
Does sickle cell affect your brain?
It can, but only indirectly- that is, from not being able to get oxygen to the brain successfully. That would only happen in severe forms of the disease, where red blood cells clog even medium-sized blood vessels. Someone with that would show all the signs of oxygen deprivation, such as decreased cognitive function and irritability.
What is the function of retinal arteries and veins?
Like all cells in our bodies, the cells in our eyes require oxygen and nutrients, and they need to eliminate waste. For many animals, transporting oxygen, nutrients, and cellular wastes is done using the blood vessels. So it only makes sense that we would have blood vessels in our eyes.
Where would you find methanogens which can function only in the absence of oxygen?
human intestine
Would you expect it to be harder to remove an electron from Na or O?
oxygen
How you remove oxygen from water?
One of the ways to do this would be using Electrolysis.
What is the function of the coronary blood supply?
The coronary blood supply is the arteries which supply the heart itself; in order for the heart to function it needs a good supply of oxygen just the same as any other organ/muscle. Without the coronary blood supply the heart would not be able to pump blood around the body, a disruption in this blood supply would cause a heart attack.
Why would you expect gills to have an exceptionally large number of capillaries?
Capillaries, which are the smallest of the blood vessels, are the site of gas exchange...carbon dioxide diffuses out of surrounding cells into the gills to be lost into the environment, and oxygen diffuses from the environment into the gill cells and then surrounding tissues. The gills function like the lungs of a fish, so large numbers of capillaries in these structures function to supply oxygen/get rid of waste carbon dioxide for the organism.
