Document Summary
Endothelial cells lining the heart also release endothelin to increase contractility of the heart. Living organisms are compartmentalized in not only in cellular level but also in tissue, and organ levels. Cardiovascular system is a closed system which is made up of 2 pumps and different pipes. It actually fixes the problem of acidosis this process "s efficiency since each stage of compensation, can attempt to correct the problem while never leaves the body minimizing change in ph long enough for the next successive system to take effect \ defenseless: growth hormone. When skeletal muscle (intercostals moves rib cages or diaphragm moves down) contracts, we change pleural pressure by 4cmh2o across entire lung, therefore every alveoli fills equally throughout the lung (all 8cmh2o) With increased co2, shift in co2 + h2 o h 2co3 h + + hco3 to the right occurs to increase h+ and hco3 (decrease in ph).
