A : Portal system consists of veins which start from capillaries and end into capillaries.
R : All vertebrates have hepatic portal system.
A : 100 ml of venous blood has 14.4 ml of O2 i.e., it is still 75% saturated with oxygen in normal condition.
R : About 4.6 ml of O2, i.e. 25% diffuses from arterial blood into the tissue during exercise.
A : The resting heart rate, about 75/minutes, usually is lower than the autorhythmic rate of the SA node (90 – 100 beats/minute).
R : At rest condition, the parasympathetic effects dominate.
A : Elevated levels of Na+ increases the heart rate and contractility.
R : Elevated Na+ level increase the excitability of SA node.
