8 Questions
Which structure in the human respiratory system is responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood?
Alveoli
Where does the process of gas exchange occur in the human respiratory system?
Alveoli
What is the function of the diaphragm in the human respiratory system?
To help with breathing by contracting and relaxing
Describe the circulatory system of arthropods.
Arthropods have an open circulatory system with a body cavity called a haemocoel, through which haemolymph circulates to the interior organs.
What is the function of haemolymph in arthropods?
Haemolymph is the analogue of blood for most arthropods, serving as the medium for nutrient and waste transport.
How is the nervous system of arthropods structured?
The nervous system of arthropods is 'ladder-like', with paired ventral nerve cords running through all segments and forming paired ganglia in each segment.
Explain the process of moulting in arthropods.
Moulting is the process by which arthropods shed their exoskeleton to reveal a new one, allowing them to keep growing.
What is the composition of the exoskeleton in arthropods?
The exoskeleton of arthropods is composed of a cuticle made of chitin, often mineralized with calcium carbonate.
