Refer to the table below. A student creates the table above as a stu.pdfinfo673628
Refer to the table below. A student creates the table above as a study guide. Evaluate the
accuracy of the information shown. The information is not accurate because the anterior air sacs
push air when they expand and pull air when then contract. The information is not accurate
because air sacs expand during exhalation and contract during inhalation. The information
shown is accurate. The information is not accurate because air does not flow through the lungs
during exhalation.
Solution
The information shown is accurate.
During inhalation, the posterior air sacs expand and the air is filled in posterior air sac and lungs
and air fills in the anterior sac. Both the sacs expand during inhalation. During exhalation, both
the sacs contracts and pushes air from posterior sac through lungs and from anterior sacs to
outside the body..

Dinosaur metabolism
Directions: For this lab you will be able to download the document and TYPE your answers on it. You can then submit it to Dropbox on Pilot. You will also need to utilize your book and/or Google to help with answering the questions.
Laboratory objective: The purpose of this laboratory is to introduce the student to dinosaur metabolism and what factors cause the debate over whether the dinosaurs were cold or warm blooded.
Laboratory discussion: The debate over whether dinosaurs are warm or cold blooded is a complex one. Many factors such as growth rate, respiration, scaling, and temperature regulation can affect the dinosaur’s metabolism.
Laboratory activities:
Part I: Growth Rates
The curves above represent the body mass (in tons) of the giant crocodilian Deinosuchus (line A) and the ceratopsian Triceratops (dashed line B), both of which are found in the Montana Group deposits of the American West.
1) At what age does Triceratops growth level off?
2) At what age does Deinosuchus growth level off?
3) Which of these reptiles grew at a rate more like a modern mammal (i.e., fast)? [Triceratops | Deinosuchus]
Part II: Dinosaur Respiration (Lungs)
Food is only part of metabolism. Another important aspect is respiration: without oxygen, there isn’t much metabolism!! Recent work by Colleen Farmer, David Carrier, and Elizabeth Brainerd on modern animals has revealed a lot more diversity in vertebrate respiration than previously known. For example, mammalian breath (which uses the ribs plus a muscular diaphragm, but doesn’t use a throat pump) is just plain weird!
Here is a look at some of the techniques used to get air down into the lungs:
• Buccal pumping (swallowing air): used by air-breathing fish and amphibians
• Gular pumping (using an actively pumping throat): used by lizards and crocodilians
• Costal breathing (moving ribs in and out): all amniotes but rib bless frogs
• Diaphragm breathing: mammals
• Hepatic piston (liver pumping): crocodilians
• Air Sac pumping: birds
Interestingly, both crocodilians and birds use their pelvic (hip) muscles in breathing. In the figure on the previous page, A is a modern alligator. When the rectus abdominis muscle contracts it pulls the pubis forward, pushing the liver forward and forcing air out of the lungs (expiration). When the ischiopubic and diaphragmatic muscles contract, it pulls the liver backwards, causing the lungs to expand and draw in air (inspiration). B shows respiration in a pigeon. During inspiration the sternum rotates downward and the longissimus dorsi muscles contracts to pull the tail up: together, these inflate some of the air sacs in the body. During expiration the infrapubic and suprapubic abdominal muscles contract to pull the sternum up and the tail down, pushing air out of the sacs. Below is a drawing showing the air sac system of a bird, in left lateral view. C, I, AT, PT, and AB are different individual air sacs—you don’t need to worry ab ...

EXERCISE 17.1 Dolphin Breath Meditation
Meditation Script
Introduction
Breathing is, perhaps, the most common way to promote relaxation. Taking a few moments
to focus on your breathing, to the exclusion of all other thoughts, helps to calm
mind, body, and spirit. By focusing solely on your breathing, you allow distracting
thoughts to leave the conscious mind. In essence, clearing the mind of thoughts is
very similar to deleting unwanted emails, thus allowing more room to concentrate on
what is really important in your life, that which really deserves attention.
Script
In a normal resting state, the average person breathes about fourteen to sixteen breath
cycles per minute. Under stress, this can increase to nearly thirty breath cycles per
minute. Yet in a deep relaxed state, it is not uncommon to have as few as four to six
breath cycles in this same time period. The breathing style that produces the greatest
relaxation response is that which allows the stomach to expand, rather than the upper
chest (this is actually how you breathe when you are comfortably asleep). Take a few
moments to breathe, specifically focusing your attention on your abdominal area.
And, if any distracting thoughts come to your attention, simply allow these to fade
away as you exhale.
Sometimes, combining visualization with breathing can augment the relaxation
response. The dolphin breath meditation is one such visualization. Imagine if
you will that, like a dolphin, you have a hole in the crown of your head with which
to breathe. Although you will still breathe through your nose or mouth, imagine
that you are now taking in slow, deep breaths through the opening at the top of
your head.
As you do this, feel the air or energy come in through the top of your head, down
past your neck and shoulders, and reside momentarily at the base of your spine.
Then, when you feel ready, very slowly exhale, allowing the air to move back
out through the dolphin spout, the opening situated at the top of your head. As yo.
