What type of respiratory system is ideal for an invertebrate to survive in a dry and hot environment?

What type of respiratory system found in invertebrates is the best for an organism that lives in a hot, dry, "desert" environment.

Answer 1:

tracheal spiracle, probably....

How does the respiratory system connect to other bodily systems?

I'm doing a science project, and talking about how Pulmonologoy and the respiratory system relates to other bodily system. I've already found info on the Digestive and and Cardiology system, but I'm at a loss for how it relates to the Endocrine, Excretory and Nervous systems. If you know any or all, please answer! Thanks so much!

Answer 1:

nervous system: there are nerves that enervate the diaphragm (and thoracic muscles), which are critical to muscular manipulation of the lung volume.

Endocrine: see renin-angiotensin system.

Excretory: perhaps the surfactant excretions that decrease surface energies, so that the lung doesn't collapse onto itself.

Answer 2:

Every cell needs oxygen to work...as far as I know. And all other systems have cells right?

What happens to respiratory system of a scuba diver in a supersonic plane?

We have to answer this and what happens to the respiratory system of a scuba diver underwater. thnx!

Answer 1:

see the Pearson's chi square test

How do the respiratory and circulatory system respond to climbing stairs?

How will the respiratory and circulatory system respond to climbing a long set of stairs?
What is a test you could design to show two people's systems react differently?
What are three factors that might affect why people's systems react differently to the same set of stairs?

Answer 1:

Think about this.

What is your respiratory system for? It lets you breathe and take in oxygen to your blood.
What is your circulatory system for? It takes your blood through your body, thereby distributing the oxygen.

So, measure breathing. Rate of breath, depth of breath. Measure it before, during, and after the test. Measure how long it takes for the person to recover.

Measue pulse oxygen. Use a pulse oximeter.

How does the respiratory system change as the frog undergoes metamorphosis from a tadpole to an adult frog?

Here's the whole question (it's a lab question):
Describe mating in frogs and the stages of frog development. How does the respiratory system change as the frog undergoes metamorphosis from a tadpole to an adult frog?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Please and thank you~

Answer 1:

from gills to lungs

The tadpole is the aquatic larval form of the amphibian (frog in this case), a descendent of the fish which retains its gill apparatus for extacting dissolved oxygen from the water.

After metamorphosis, the frog switches over to an air-breathing lung system and hops onto the land

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphibian
"The most obvious part of the amphibian metamorphosis is the [1] formation of four legs in order to support the body on land. But there are several other changes: [2] the gills are replaced by other respiratory organs, i.e., lungs, [3] the skin changes and develops glands to avoid dehydration, [4] the eyes develop eyelids and adapt to vision outside the water, [5] an eardrum is developed to lock the middle ear and [6] the tail disappears. .

Answer 2:

During the tadpole stage of the amphibian life cycle, most breathe by means of autonomous external or internal gills. As tadpoles mature, they most commonly metamorphose by gradually growing limbs and then (most commonly in the case of frogs) outwardly absorbing its tail by apoptosis. Lungs develop around the time of leg development and tadpoles late in development will often be found near the surface of the water where they breath air.
