Explanation / Answer

Hi Answer:

32. During a landmark radiographic (Xray) study by Bron (1966), regional vasocontraction during seals forced dive was indicated by measured lack of the blood flow to the

Answer: Option D. Kidneys

a.Which of the following statement is supported by the data in the figure?

Answer: Option E. In freely diving seals, diving heart rate varies with dive duration in a grader manner.

b. According to a central hypothesis of diving physiology, it is adaptive for diving mammals to keep their dives shorter than their species-specific aerobic dive limit (ADL) because doing so

Answer: Option E. All the above

c. Which of the following behaviors do Weddell seals not employ in order to reduce metabolic costs during a dive? Mark all that apply.

Answer: Option B. Continuous stroking

Explanation: Weddell seal during dive try to keep the metabolic cost low by gliding or alternating stroking and gliding. Seals never undergo continuous stroking because continuous stroking costs more energy and due to loss of more energy seals metabolic cost increase.

d.When comparing humans to Weddell seals it can be stated that

Answer: option D. Only Weddell seals redistribute blood flow during exercise

Explanation: Weddle seals have about three times the oxygen-storing capacity as humans. They can raise their metabolic rate about half as much as a human during exercise and both human and seals have diving bradycardia. One feature which is not in human is that Weddle seals can redistribute blood flow during exercise.
