Page 1: 1. Two or more tissues working together for a common function is called a 2. The spleen belongs to the system 3. Which is a the best description of the function of the lymphatic and immune system Consider the following: When damage is sustained to a larger artery, significant blood loss can occur. A decrease in blood volume consequently causes blood pressure to drop. A drop in blood pressure is detected by baroreceptors that experience less stretch in certain arteries. This information is received by the cardiovascular center of the medulla oblongata which responds by sending nervous impulses through the sympathetic cardiac accelerator nerves. This results in an increased heart rate. As blood is pumped more quickly through the blood vessels, blood loss accelerates. This further decreases blood volume and therefore blood pressure. The medulla oblongata responds by telling the heart to beat even faster. This further increases blood lose, decreasing blood volume and blood pressure. Without medical intervention, this loop can continue until the the brain is no longer receiving enough oxygen leading to death. 4. The above is describing a 5.
