Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 1.3 Define the important processes. Learning Objective 2 LO 1.3.2 Define homeostasis and explain its relationship to interstitial fluid. Section Reference 1: Sec 1.4 Homeostasis


Solution: An important aspect of homeostasis is maintaining the volume and composition of body fluids, which are dilute, watery solutions containing the dissolved substances needed to sustain life. The fluid within cells is intracellular fluid (ICF) and the fluid found outside of cells is extracellular fluid (ECF). The ECF consists of interstitial fluid, blood plasma, lymph, cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid, aqueous humor, and vitreous. The ECF called interstitial fluid, which is the fluid found in the narrow spaces between cells and tissues, is also known as the body’s internal environment. This is due to the fact that the proper functioning of body cells depends on precise regulation of the composition of the interstitial fluid surrounding them.

50) Describe briefly what is occurring at each step in the figure.

Answer: Difficulty: Hard Study Objective 1: SO 3.6 Describe the sequence of events in protein synthesis.


Section Reference 1: Sec 3.6 Protein Synthesis Solution: This figure represents protein synthesis. Step one, the initiator tRNA attaches to a start codon. In step two, the large and small ribosomal subunits join to form a functional ribosome and initiator tRNA fits into P site. In step three, the anticodon of an incoming tRNA pairs with the next mRNA codon at A site. Step four, the amino acid on the tRNA at P site forms a peptide bond with the amino acid at A site. Step five, the tRNA at the P site leaves the ribosome and the ribosome shifts down by one codon. The tRNA previously at the A site is now at the P site. Step six is when protein synthesis stops when the ribosome reaches one of three potential stop codons on the mRNA strand.

Study Objective 2: SO 5.1.2 Compare the composition of the papillary and reticular regions of the dermis. Section Reference 1: Sec 5.1 Structure of the Skin Solution: epidermal ridges develop during the third or fourth fetal month as the epidermis conforms to the contours of the underlying dermal papillae of the papillary region. The ridges increase the surface area of the epidermis and thus increase the grip of the hand or foot by increasing friction. Because the ducts of sweat glands open on the tops of the epidermal ridges as sweat pores, the sweat and ridges form fingerprints upon touching a smooth object. The epidermal ridge pattern is genetically determined and is unique for each individual allowing these patterns to be used to identify individuals.

Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 5.4 Describe how the skin contributes to the regulation of body temperature, storage of blood, protection, sensation, excretion and absorption, and synthesis of vitamin D. Section Reference 1: Sec 5.4 Functions of the Skin Solution: The functions of the skin include: 1) Thermoregulation: The skin thermoregulates in response to increased temperature by secreting sweat onto its surface and then increasing blood flow to the surface leading to cooling of the blood. In response to low temperatures, production of sweat is decreased and blood flow is diverted from surface to conserve heat. 2) The skin contains 8-10% of the blood and thus serves as a blood reservoir. 3) The skin covers the body and provides protection using keratin, lipids, secretions like oil and sweat, and immunological defenses. 4) The skin can detect and respond to cutaneous sensations. 5) The skin helps in excretion and absorption. 6) The skin also can synthesize vitamin D.

23) Briefly describe the steps in epidermal wound healing. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 5.5 Explain how epidermal wounds and deep wounds heal. Section Reference 1: Sec 5.5 Maintaining Homeostasis: Skin Wound Healing


Solution: In response to an epidermal injury, basal cells of the epidermis surrounding the wound break contact with the basement membrane. The cells then enlarge and migrate across the wound. The cells appear to migrate as a sheet. When epidermal cells encounter each other they stop migrating due to contact inhibition. Migration of the epidermal cells stops completely when each is finally in contact with other epidermal cells on all sides. Epidermal growth factor is also secreted to stimulate the basal stem cells to divide and replace the ones that have moved into the wound. Epidermal cell division eventually regenerates the strata of the epidermis.

24) Briefly describe the steps in deep wound healing. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 5.5 Explain how epidermal wounds and deep wounds heal. Section Reference 1: Sec 5.5 Maintaining Homeostasis: Skin Wound Healing Solution: In deep wound healing, a blood clot forms during the inflammatory response and loosely unites the wound edges. Then in the migratory phase the clot becomes a scab and epithelial cells migrate beneath the scab to bridge the wound. Fibroblasts migrate along fibrin threads and begin synthesizing scar tissue and damaged blood vessels begin to regrow. During this phase, the tissue filling the wound is called granulation tissue. The proliferative phase is characterized by extensive growth of epithelial cells beneath the scab, deposition by fibroblasts of collagen fibers in random patterns, and continued growth of blood vessels. During the maturation phase, the scab sloughs off once the epidermis has been restored to normal thickness. Collagen fibers become more organized, fibroblasts decrease in number and blood vessels are restored to normal.

45) Describe the structural characteristics of the epidermis that contribute to its ability to protect the surface of an animal. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 5.1 Describe the composition of the epidermis and dermis.


Study Objective 2: SO 5.1.1 Describe the layers of the epidermis and the cells that compose them. Section Reference 1: Sec 5.1 Structure of the Skin Solution: Multiple layers of cells in stratified squamous epithelium help resist friction. Keratin of intermediate filaments provides strength to tissue by binding cells tightly together and to underlying tissue, thus creating a barrier to microbes. Lamellar granules of keratinocytes produce a lipid-rich, water-repellent (sealant) to protect from dehydration and entry of foreign materials. Melanin, produced by melanocytes, protects underlying tissue from UV light. Sebum secreted onto the surface helps protect from dehydration and microbial invasion. Intraepidermal macrophages (Langerhans cells) participate in immune response to microbial invasion.

46) Describe the major differences between thin skin and thick skin. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 5.3 Compare structural and functional differences in thin and thick skin. Section Reference 1: Sec 5.3 Types of Skin Solution: Thick skin is found on palms, palmar surfaces of digits, and soles, while thin skin is found in all other areas. Thick skin is 4-5× thicker than thin skin. The stratum lucidum is present exclusively in thick skin. Also, the stratum spinosum and stratum corneum are thicker in thick skin. Thick skin exhibits epidermal ridges, more sweat glands and a higher density of sensory receptors. Thin skin has hair follicles and sebaceous glands, while thick skin does not.

47) John has just been brought into the emergency room following a fiery explosion at a chemical plant. He is diagnosed with third degree burns over the anterior surfaces of his arms and trunk. What specific structural damage has occurred to his skin? What risks to John's life have resulted from this damage? Answer: Difficulty: Hard Study Objective 1: SO 5.5 Explain how epidermal wounds and deep wounds heal. Section Reference 1: Sec 5.5 Maintaining Homeostasis: Skin Wound Healing Solution: John has lost approximately 27% of his skin's surface area (according to the Rule of Nines), which leads to severe systemic effects. The epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous layer and associated structures have been destroyed. Sensory function is lost. Loss of epidermis (and so, lost keratin and Langerhans cells) makes John susceptible to microbial invasion. Loss of keratinized structures and lamellar granules allows for extreme loss of water, plasma, and plasma proteins, which causes shock; leading to dehydration, reduced blood volume and circulation, decreased urine output and diminished immune responses.

73) Describe the structure and function of the different types of exocrine glands found in the skin Answer: Difficulty: Hard Study Objective 1: SO 5.2 Contrast the structure, distribution, and functions of hair, skin glands, and nails. Section Reference 1: Sec 5.2 Accessory Structures of the Skin Solution: Sebaceous glands are oil glands. They are connected to hair follicles (with few exceptions). The secreting portion lies in the dermis and opens into the neck of a hair follicle. They are absent in the palms and soles. The secretory product of sebaceous gland is known as sebum. Sebum prevents the hair from drying and becoming brittle. Sudoriferous glands are sweat glands. They release sweat into hair follicles or onto the skin surface through pores. There are two types of sweat glands: Eccrine and Apocrine. Eccrine sweat glands are distributed throughout the skin including the palm and the soles. The sweat produced by these glands contains water, ions, urea, uric acid, ammonia, amino acids, glucose and lactic acid. The main function of eccrine glands is to regulate body temperature. Apocrine sweat glands are predominantly found in the skin of the axilla, groin, areolae and the bearded region of the face. The sweat produced by apocrine glands is lightly viscous and appears milky or yellowish in


color. They contain similar type of material found in eccrine glands with an addition of lipids and proteins. Upon interaction with bacteria on the surface of the skin, the components are metabolized causing the distinct body odor. Ceruminous glands are modified sweat glands found in the external ear. They produce the ear wax knows as cerumen which is a combined secretion of ceruminous and sebaceous glands.

Study Objective 2: SO 6.5.3 Describe the process involved in bone remodeling. Section Reference 1: Sec 6.5 Bone Formation. Solution: during bone deposition, osteogenic cells develop into osteoblasts. The osteoblasts secrete collagen fibers and other organic substances to begin formation of matrix. Within the spaces between fibers, calcification occurs to form a solid matrix that eventually surrounds the osteoblast and some extracellular fluid. The osteoblast in its new lacuna is isolated and becomes an osteocyte. The osteocyte continues to secrete matrix but at a lower level.

17) Briefly describe the steps in bone resorption. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 6.5 Describe the process and purpose of bone remodeling. Study Objective 2: SO 6.5.3 Describe the process involved in bone remodeling. Section Reference 1: Sec 6.5 Bone Formation. Solution: during bone resorption, an osteoclast attaches tightly to the endosteum or periosteum of the bone and forms a leak proof seal at the edges. Then it releases protein-digesting lysosomal


enzymes and several amino acids into the sealed pocket. The enzymes digest collagen fibers and other organic substances while the acids dissolve the bone materials. Working together several osteoclasts carve out a small tunnel in the old bone. The degraded bone proteins and extracellular matrix minerals enter an osteoclast by endocytosis, cross the cell in vesicles, and undergo exocytosis on the side opposite the ruffled border. Now in the interstitial fluid, the products of bone resorption diffuse into nearby blood capillaries. Once a small area of bone has been resorbed, osteoclasts depart and osteoblasts move in to rebuild bone in that area.

25) Describe the steps in bone repair. Answer: Difficulty: Easy Study Objective 1: SO 6.6 Describe common types of fractures and the process of fracture repair. Study Objective 2: SO 6.6.2 Describe the sequence of events involved in fracture repair. Section Reference 1: Sec 6.6 Fracture and Repair of Bone


Solution: after the break in the bone occurs, blood vessels in that area are damaged and blood surrounds the fracture. The blood solidifies to form a clot, which reduces bleeding. White blood cells migrate into the area to remove bacteria and damaged cells. Osteoclasts migrate in to remove dead bone matrix. Secondly, fibroblasts migrate into the fracture to form a plate of cartilage to prevent further movement and damage at the fracture site. Thirdly, osteoblasts invade to replace the cartilage with bone matrix in the form of spongy bone. Lastly, the bone matrix will be remodeled as compact bone replaces spongy bone.

26) Briefly describe the processes by which bone increases in length and diameter. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 6.5 Describe the process and purpose of bone remodeling. Study Objective 2: SO 6.5.2 Explain how bone grows in length and thickness. Section Reference 1: Sec 6.5 Bone Formation. Solution: The only means by which bone can increase in length (interstitial growth) is by activity at the epiphyseal plate. Until full height is reached, the plate consists of layers of chondrocytes, which generate matrix that is then calcified and replaced by bone matrix secreted by osteoblasts on the diaphyseal side of the plate. Around ages 18-20 the cartilage is replaced completely by bone and no more lengthwise growth can occur. Bone increases in diameter via appositional growth as new bone matrix is laid down by osteoblasts in the periosteum.

27) Patient X has a tumor of the parathyroid glands that causes a hypersecretion of PTH from these glands. Predict the effect this hypersecretion would have on the skeletal system and on the secretion of calcitonin from the thyroid gland. Answer: Difficulty: Hard Study Objective 1: SO 6.7 Describe the importance and regulation of calcium in the body. Study Objective 2: SO 6.7.2 Explain how blood calcium level is regulated. Section Reference 1: Sec 6.7 Bone’s Role in Calcium Homeostasis Solution: High levels of PTH would cause high levels of osteoclast activity, thus removing calcium from bones. Bones would become weak and soft. Excess phosphate would be lost from the kidneys. High levels of calcium ions in blood may disrupt nerve and muscle function. Calcitonin levels would probably be high, trying to restore homeostasis by increasing deposition of calcium into bone.

28) An archeologist and an anthropologist are studying two skeletons from an ancient tomb that had apparently been looted in an earlier time. Both skeletons are females and both are approximately the same height. However, the anthropologist is absolutely certain that one skeleton is the remains of someone from the privileged class while the other skeleton is the


remains of a servant or slave. How could the anthropologist be so sure of the economic status of the individuals based solely on their skeletal remains? Answer: Difficulty: Hard Study Objective 1: SO 6.8 Describe how exercise and mechanical stress affect bone tissue. Section Reference 1: Sec 6.8 Exercise and Bone Tissue. Solution: A person who is from the privileged class probably has better nutrition but doesn’t have to do as much physical labor (exercise) as a person from the servant or slave class. The anthropologist probably notes a difference in bone density in the two skeletons—especially on parts of bones where muscles attached. The skeleton of the servant probably has more density than the skeleton of the privileged class at those points. It is also possible that the servant suffered from malnutrition during life. If so, her skeleton might show evidence of rickets or osteopenia.

29) Describe the signs and symptoms of osteoporosis and describe the risk factors for developing osteoporosis. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 6.9 Describe the effects of aging on bone tissue. Learning Objective 1: LO 6.10 Describe the disorders that affect bone tissue. Section Reference 1: Sec 6.9 Aging and Bone Tissue Section Reference 1: Sec Disorders: Homeostatic Imbalances that Affect Bone Tissue Solution: In osteoporosis, bone resorption outpaces bone deposition so that bone mass is depleted, sometimes to the point of spontaneous fracture. Pain and height loss may occur as vertebrae shrink. Postmenopausal women are especially at risk due to dramatically reduced estrogen levels after menopause. Family history may play a role, as does ethnicity (white and Asian women have a higher rate of disease), inactivity, cigarette smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and a diet low in calcium and vitamin D.

66) Briefly, explain how blood calcium level is regulated. Answer: Difficulty: Hard Study Objective 1: SO 6.7 Describe the importance and regulation of calcium in the body. Learning Objective 2:LO 6.7.2 Explain how blood calcium level is regulated. Section Reference 1: Sec 6.7 Bone’s Role in Calcium Homeostasis Solution: When blood Ca2+ levels drop, PTH is secreted from the parathyroid glands. PTH increases the activity of osteoclasts to increase bone resorption, which ultimately increases Ca2+ in blood. PTH also acts on the kidneys to prevent Ca2+ loss in the urine. PTH also stimulates the production of calcitriol, which acts on the GI tract to increase absorption of Ca2+ from the intestinal lining. When blood Ca2+ level increases, it causes the synthesis and release of calcitonin from the thyroid gland. Calcitonin, inhibits osteoclasts and stimulates osteoblastic activity to increase Ca2+ deposition into bones which promotes bone formation.

Section Reference 1: Sec 6.1 Functions of Bone and the Skeletal System. Solution: The skeletal system is used for support for the soft tissues of the body and as attachment sites for tendons of most skeletal muscles. The skeletal system also functions in protection for the internal organs. The skeletal system assists in movement working together with the muscle system. Skeletal system aids in mineral (calcium and phosphorus) homeostasis by storing several minerals and releasing them into the bloodstream on demand. Within some bones is red bone marrow that produces blood cells. Bones also contain yellow bone marrow which is a storage site for energy in the form of triglycerides.

27) Describe the factors that lead to muscle fatigue. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 10.4 Compare anaerobic and aerobic cellular respiration processes and the factors that contribute to muscle fatigue. Study Objective 2: SO 10.4.1 Describe the reactions by which muscle fibers produce ATP. Section Reference 1: Sec 10.4 Muscle Metabolism Solution: Although the precise mechanisms that cause muscle fatigue are still not clear, several factors are thought to contribute. One is inadequate release of calcium ions from the SR, resulting in a decline of Ca2+ concentration in the sarcoplasm. Depletion of creatine phosphate also is associated with fatigue, but surprisingly, the ATP levels in fatigued muscle often are not much lower than those in resting muscle. Other factors that contribute to muscle fatigue include insufficient oxygen, depletion of glycogen and other nutrients, buildup of lactic acid and ADP, and failure of action potentials in the motor neuron to release enough acetylcholine.

Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 10.9 Describe the main structural and functional characteristics of smooth muscle tissue. Section Reference 1: Sec 10.9 Smooth Muscle Tissue Solution: In single-unit smooth muscle tissue, action potentials are initiated in response to neurotransmitters, hormones, or an autorhythmic signal. The action potential spreads throughout the tissue by moving through gap junctions that connect all the muscle cells together within the


tissue. It is found in the skin and in tubular arrangements that form part of the walls of small arteries and veins and of hollow organs such as the stomach, intestines, uterus, and urinary bladder. In multiunit smooth muscle tissue, muscle cells have few gap junctions with neighboring cells and thus must be excited by their own motor neuron terminal. It is found in the walls of large arteries, in airways to the lungs, in the arrector pili muscles that attach to hair follicles, in the muscles of the iris that adjust pupil diameter, and in the ciliary body that adjusts focus of the lens in the eye.

75) Discuss the steps involved in contraction of smooth muscle and explain why smooth muscle has a slower contraction cycle. Answer: Difficulty: Hard Study Objective 1: SO 10.9 Describe the main structural and functional characteristics of smooth muscle tissue. Section Reference 1: Sec 10.9 Smooth Muscle Tissue Solution: Upon neural stimulation of the muscle, Ca2+ stored in the caveolae start to flow into the cell. Calmodulin, the regulatory protein in smooth muscles, will bind with the Ca++ which will activate the enzyme myosin light chain kinase (MLCK). This enzyme will use ATP to add a phosphate to the myosin head so that it can bind to actin so that the contraction can occur. The sliding of the actin and myosin is similar to the skeletal muscle. The slowness of the process is due to slow influx of Ca++ from caveolae into the cells (smooth muscles have a poor SR system, therefore, there is very little intercellular Ca++ storage). Also, the enzyme MLCK works very slowly which in turn causes the muscle to contract slowly.

5) With reference to the effort and load, describe the main difference between a lever operating with a mechanical advantage versus a lever operating at a mechanical disadvantage. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 11.1 Describe how skeletal muscles produce movement. Study Objective 2: SO 11.1.2 Define lever and fulcrum, and compare the three types of levers based on location of the fulcrum, effort, and load. Section Reference 1: Sec 11.1 How Skeletal Muscles Produce Movements Solution: A lever operates at a mechanical advantage when a smaller effort can move a heavier load. The effort moves a greater distance at a faster rate than the load. A lever operates at a


mechanical disadvantage when a larger effort moves a lighter load. The effort moves more slowly and for a shorter distance than the load.

6) Briefly describe the three categories of levers based on the position of their fulcrum. Give an example of each type of lever and state whether the lever works at a mechanical advantage, disadvantage or both. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 11.1 Describe how skeletal muscles produce movement. Study Objective 2: SO 11.1.2 Define lever and fulcrum, and compare the three types of levers based on location of the fulcrum, effort, and load. Section Reference 1: Sec 11.1 How Skeletal Muscles Produce Movements Solution: If the fulcrum is between the effort and the load it is a first class lever. Scissors are an example of a first class lever. A first class lever can produce either a mechanical advantage or disadvantage depending on whether the effort or load is closer to the fulcrum. If the load is between the fulcrum and the effort, it is a second class lever. A wheel barrow is an example of a second class lever. They operate at a mechanical advantage because the load is always closer to the fulcrum than the effort. If the effort is between the fulcrum and the load, it is a third class lever. Forceps are an example of a third class lever. They operate at a mechanical disadvantage because the effort is always closer to the fulcrum than the load.

Study Objective 2: SO 11.1.1 Describe the relationship between bones and skeletal muscles in producing body movements. Section Reference 1: Sec 11.1 How Skeletal Muscles Produce Movements Solution: Stretching can improve physical performance by increasing joint flexibility allowing the joint to move through a greater range of motion. Stretching decreases risk of injury by decreasing resistance in various soft tissues so there is less of a chance of exceeding maximum tissue extensibility during activity. Stretching can reduce some of the muscle soreness that results after exercise. Stretching can help realign soft tissues to improve and maintain good posture.

13) What anatomical structures of the musculoskeletal system correspond to the components of a lever system? Describe the arrangement of these parts in first, second, and third class lever systems. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 11.1 Describe how skeletal muscles produce movement. Study Objective 2: SO 11.1.2 Define lever and fulcrum, and compare the three types of levers based on location of the fulcrum, effort, and load. Section Reference 1: Sec 11.1 How Skeletal Muscles Produce Movements Solution: The bone is the lever. The joint is the fulcrum. The muscle contraction pulling on its insertion point is the effort. The weight of the part to be moved is the resistance. A first class lever has the fulcrum between the effort and the resistance; a second class lever has the resistance in the middle; the third class lever has the effort in the middle. In all cases, the lever moves around the fulcrum.

14) Discuss the roles of agonists, antagonists, synergists, and fixators in movement. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 11.1 Describe how skeletal muscles produce movement. Study Objective 2: SO 11.1.4 Explain how the prime mover, antagonist, synergist, and fixator in a muscle group work together to produce movement. Section Reference 1: Sec 11.1 How Skeletal Muscles Produce Movements Solution: The agonist (prime mover) contracts to cause a particular movement. The antagonist causes the opposite action, and so, must relax while the agonist contracts. Synergists prevent unwanted movements during an action or aid the agonist during the movement, while fixators stabilize the origin of the agonist. Both allow the agonist to work more efficiently.

17) Name and describe the locations and actions of the muscles typically used in breathing. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 11.11 Describe the origin, insertion, action, and innervation of the muscles of the thorax that assist in breathing. Section Reference 1: Exhibit 11.H Muscles of the Thorax That Assist in Breathing Solution: The diaphragm forms the floor of the thoracic cavity. It flattens (contracts) during inspiration to increase the size of the thoracic cavity. The external intercostals are found between the ribs and they act to increase the lateral and anteroposterior dimensions of the thorax. Internal intercostals are also found between ribs and they act by pulling the ribs together to decrease the size of the thoracic cavity. The diaphragm relaxes during expiration to form a dome that decreases the size of the thoracic cavity. The anterior scalenes and the pectoralis minor also assist during forced inspirations.

68) Describe the difference between spatial and temporal summation in a postsynaptic neuron. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 12.4 Describe signal transmission at a chemical synapse, summation, and excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters. Study Objective 2: SO 12.4.2 Distinguish between spatial and temporal summation. Section Reference 1: Sec 12.4 Signal Transmission at Synapses Solution: Spatial summation is summation of postsynaptic potentials in response to stimuli that occur at different locations in the membrane of a postsynaptic cell at the same time. This typically occurs when multiple presynaptic neurons synapse with one postsynaptic neuron and fire simultaneously. Temporal summation is summation of postsynaptic potentials in response to stimuli that occur at the same location in the membrane of the postsynaptic cell but at different times. This typically occurs when one presynaptic neuron fires in rapid succession leading to a summing of the resulting EPSPs, which then triggers the generation of action potentials in the postsynaptic neuron as it moves above threshold.

Question type: Essay

45) In 1848, a railroad worker named Phineas Gage was seriously injured during an explosion on the job. A tapered metal rod ranging from 0.25 inches to 1.25 inches in diameter and over 3 feet long entered his skull just under his left cheek bone and exited through the top of his skull. The rod was found over twenty feet away. Amazingly, Gage lived even though he suffered massive damage to the left front of his brain. His personality and intellectual abilities changed, however. Before the accident, he was respected as a smart, capable and even-tempered man. After the accident, he was foul-mouthed and bad-tempered and could not make up his mind. In the years immediately preceding his death, he began to have epileptic seizures. Explain the changes observed in Mr. Gage based on your knowledge of the brain.


Answer: Difficulty: Hard Study Objective 1: SO 14.7 Describe the location and functions of the sensory, association and motor areas of the cerebral cortex and the importance of hemispheric lateralization, and brain wave activity. Study Objective 2: SO 14.7.1 Describe the locations and functions of the sensory, association, and motor areas of the cerebral cortex. Section Reference 1: Sec 14.7 Functional Organization of the Cerebral Cortex Solution: The accident apparently damaged the frontal lobe and specifically the prefrontal cortex of the left side of Mr. Gage’s brain. The frontal lobe is involved in memory and intellect. The prefrontal cortex is involved in judgment, ethics, and conscious. The changes Mr. Gage experienced indicate that the right side of his brain could not compensate for the losses on the left side of the brain. It is remarkable that the story doesn’t mention that Mr. Gage lost some motor function on his right side since it is controlled by the primary motor region on left side of the brain. There is also no mention of loss of speech, which is largely processed on the left side of the brain. Perhaps the iron rod just missed those areas. As far as the epileptic seizures are concerned, it is possible that the accident damaged the basal ganglia to some degree. As he aged and lost connections between neurons that damage might have become more evident as the basal ganglia could no longer communicate effectively with the rest of the brain.

46) Describe the structural and functional relationship between the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 14.5 Describe the components and functions of the diencephalon (thalamus, hypothalamus, and epithalamus). Section Reference 1: Sec 14.5 The Diencephalon Solution: The hypothalamus releases regulatory hormones into the capillary networks in the median eminence to increase or decrease hormone production and secretion from the anterior pituitary. Axons from the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei extend through the infundibulum to the posterior pituitary. Their cell bodies produce oxytocin or antidiuretic hormone, which through axonal transport these hormones are moved into the posterior pituitary where they are stored and released from the axon terminals.

Question type: Essay


38) Describe the possible ways in which the axon of a sympathetic preganglionic neuron connects with postganglionic neurons after it reaches the sympathetic trunk ganglia. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 15.2 Compare the neurons and other anatomical components of the autonomic nervous system divisions. Study Objective 2: SO 15.2.2 Compare the anatomical components of the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system. Section Reference 1: Sec 15.2 Anatomy of Autonomic Motor Pathways Solution: The axon may 1) synapse with postganglionic neurons in the first ganglion it reaches, 2) ascend or descend to higher or lower ganglia via sympathetic chains, or 3) continue without synapsing through sympathetic trunk ganglia to end at a prevertebral ganglion and synapse with postganglionic neurons there. 4) also pass, without synapsing, through the sympathetic trunk ganglion and a prevertebral ganglion and then extend to chromaffin cells of the adrenal medullae that are functionally similar to sympathetic postganglionic neurons.

39) Explain why the sympathetic division of the ANS has more widespread and longer-lasting effects than the parasympathetic division. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 15.2 Compare the neurons and other anatomical components of the autonomic nervous system divisions. Study Objective 2: SO 15.2.2 Compare the anatomical components of the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system. Section Reference 1: Sec 15.2 Anatomy of Autonomic Motor Pathways Solution: A single sympathetic preganglionic fiber has many axon collaterals (branches) and synapses with 20 or more postganglionic neurons, whereas a parasympathetic preganglionic neurons synapses with only 4 or 5 postganglionic neurons. The sympathetic neurotransmitter, norepinephrine is broken down more slowly than acetylcholine, so postganglionic cells are stimulated longer. The sympathetic division also stimulates release of catecholamines (mostly epinephrine) from the adrenal medulla, thus enhancing the sympathetic effects via the endocrine system. Also, more visceral effectors have receptors for catecholamines (norepinephrine and epinephrine) than for acetylcholine.

40) Describe the potential roles that autonomic neurons that release the neurotransmitter acetylcholine perform in the ANS. Be sure to describe the types of postsynaptic effector cells including their receptors that could be potentially activated by acetylcholine release from autonomic neurons.


Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 15.3 Describe the neurotransmitters and receptors involved in autonomic responses. Section Reference 1: Sec 15.3 ANS Neurotransmitters and Receptors Solution: The neuron could be a preganglionic neuron in either division of the ANS, a parasympathetic postganglionic neuron, or one of a few sympathetic postganglionic neurons (innervating sweat glands). The postsynaptic cell must possess either nicotinic or muscarinic receptors in order to respond to acetylcholine. This effector cell could be a postganglionic neuron of either division, a parasympathetic visceral effector, or one of the few sympathetic effectors stimulated by cholinergic neurons.

41) A patient with chronic skeletal muscle spasms was placed on an anticholinergic medication. After taking the medication, the patient’s muscle spasms ceased, but now the patient reports a loss of muscle strength. In addition, the patient’s resting heart rate has increased. Explain the effects of the medication the patient received. Answer: Difficulty: Hard Study Objective 1: SO 15.3 Describe the neurotransmitters and receptors involved in autonomic responses. Section Reference 1: Sec 15.3 ANS Neurotransmitters and Receptors Solution: Medications that block the action of acetylcholine are described as anticholinergic. Since ACh stimulates skeletal muscles to contract, blocking ACh should help reduce muscle spasms. In high enough doses, the medication might prevent the normal contraction of skeletal muscles and could, perhaps, cause a flaccid paralysis. Heart rate increases because ACh usually slows heart rate so a drug that blocks ACh’s effect would lead to increased heart rate. Perhaps a medication that specifically blocked nicotinic receptors would eliminate the muscle spasms without causing increased heart rate.

42) Explain how blood flow to tissues changes during the fight-or-flight response. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 15.4 Describe the major responses of the body to stimulation by the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the ANS. Section Reference 1: Sec 15.4 Physiology of the ANS Solution: During the fight-or-flight response, vasodilation occurs in those vessels serving the heart and skeletal muscles crucial to fight or flight. In contrast, vasoconstriction occurs in those vessels serving areas less vital to fighting/fleeing like skin, digestive organs, and the urinary


system. The changes in blood vessel diameter are induced by activation of the sympathetic division of the ANS.

43) Compare and contrast the overall responses of the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. Answer: Difficulty: Hard Study Objective 1: SO 15.4 Describe the major responses of the body to stimulation by the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the ANS. Section Reference 1: Sec 15.4 Physiology of the ANS Solution: The sympathetic division acts to prepare the body for maximal skeletal muscle activity to either fight or flee a perceived threat. Some of the changes stimulated by sympathetic activation include: 1) increased heart rate and contractions, 2) shunting blood away from the digestive organs to the lungs, liver, heart and skeletal muscles allowing these organs to increase function, 3) bronchodilation leads increased O2 delivery to the blood, and 4) liver also releases more glucose. These changes increase blood oxygen and glucose to provide the body cells with the ability to increase ATP production. The parasympathetic system tends to return the body to normality, and to prepare the body to acquire energy. For instance, the parasympathetic division stimulates increased blood flow to digestive, reproductive and urinary organs. More digestion and defecation occurs, sexual activity can be supported, and urine production is increased. Decreased heart rate and blood pressure also occur.

Question type: Essay

39) You are sitting on a sunny Florida beach experiencing the sensation of warmth. Describe the anatomical structures and physiological events that allow you to perceive the warmth of the sun. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 16.2 Describe the locations and functions of receptors for tactile, thermal, and pain sensations, and for proprioception. Study Objective 2: SO 16.2.1 Describe the location and function of the somatic sensory receptors for tactile, thermal, and pain sensations. Study Objective 3: SO 16.3 Describe the neuronal components and functions of the posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway, the anterolateral pathway, and the spinocerebellar pathway. Section Reference 1: Sec 16.2 Somatic Sensations Section Reference 2: Sec 16.3 Somatic Sensory Pathways Solution: Thermoreceptors, which are distributed throughout the skin, must be present to sense the thermal stimuli. The warmth from the sun stimulates the warm thermoreceptors to become activated by warming the receptive field of thermoreceptors and stimulating the production of graded potentials. When the graded potentials reach threshold, they trigger nerve impulses in the themoreceptor, which serves as a first-order neuron that transmits the information to the CNS where a second order neuron conducts impulses via neurons of the spinothalamic tract to the thalamus. From the thalamus, third order neurons conduct impulses to the primary somatosensory area of the cerebral cortex where the impulses are perceived as a feeling of warmth.

40) Synesthesia is a condition in which stimulation of one sensory modality results in perception of another. One man reportedly tastes shapes. Many synesthetic people hear colors. Based on what you know about sensation, propose a physiological mechanism that explains the phenomenon of synesthesia. Answer: Difficulty: Hard Study Objective 1: SO 16.1 Describe sensations and the classification of sensory receptors. Study Objective 2: SO 16.1.2 Describe the different ways to classify sensory receptors. Section Reference 1: Sec 16.1 Sensation Solution: Usually a given receptor can only convey a single type of sensory modality. For instance, photoreceptors can usually only relay impulses related to light intensity. Some receptors can relay different modalities based on the type of stimulus received. Lamellated corpuscles relay information about pressure in response to low frequency stimulation but relay information about vibration in response to higher frequency stimulation. Perhaps some types of


synesthesia result from anomalous receptors that can send very different information in response to different frequency or intensity of stimulation. A stronger explanation for the phenomenon may be related to the fact that sensations are interpreted based on which part of the cerebral cortex receives the impulses from the 3rd order neuron in the sensory pathway. Synesthetic patients may have unusual distributions of neurons to the cerebral cortex. Most people would sense the taste “sweet” because their 3rd order neuron carrying those impulses terminated in the gustatory area. The man who tastes shapes may have a “sweet” neuron that terminates in the “shape” area of the visual cortex. 41) A viral infection has damaged a patient’s tectospinal tract.

Study Objective 2: SO 16.4.2 Compare the locations and functions of the direct and indirect motor pathways. Section Reference 1: Sec 16.4 Somatic Motor Pathways Solution: The tectospinal tract is an extrapyramidal, or indirect, motor pathway. It conveys nerve impulses from the superior colliculus to contralateral skeletal muscles that move the head and eyes in response to visual stimuli. One sign of such damage would be the inability of the patient to turn his head toward a flashing light. The patient would also be unable to follow movements of the physician’s finger with his eyes. The patient would probably be unable to read words scrolling across a screen. Each of these deficits relates to the inability to move the head or eyes in response to visual stimuli and would alert the physician to damage of the tectospinal tract.

42) Describe the role of the reticular activating system in sleep, arousal, and consciousness. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 16.5 Understand wakefulness, sleep, learning and memory as integrative functions of the cerebrum. Study Objective 2: SO 16.5.1 Compare the integrative cerebral functions of wakefulness and sleep, and learning and memory. Section Reference 1: Sec 16.5 Integrative Functions of the Cerebrum Solution: A variety of sensory stimuli feed into the RAS, which feeds into the thalamus and cerebral cortex to increase neuronal activity, causing arousal from sleep and maintaining consciousness. During periods of high ATP use, adenosine accumulates and binds to A1 receptors, inhibiting cholinergic neurons in the RAS, and inducing sleep.


43) Compare short-term memory versus long-term memory with regard to specific changes that are thought to occur in the brain. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 16.5 Understand wakefulness, sleep, learning and memory as integrative functions of the cerebrum. Study Objective 2: SO 16.5.3 Explain the factors that contribute to memory. Section Reference 1: Sec 16.5 Integrative Functions of the Cerebrum Solution: Short-term memory depends more on electrical and chemical events in the brain than on structural changes, such as forming new synapses. Long-term memory is thought to involve high-frequency stimulation within the hippocampus at glutamate synapses. Nitric oxide and other neurotransmitters may also be involved. For long term memory, neurons develop new presynaptic terminals, larger synaptic end bulbs, and more dendritic branches.

Study Objective 2: SO 16.1.2 Describe the different ways to classify sensory receptors. Section Reference 1: Sec 16.1 Sensation


Solution: (1) Exteroceptors are sensitive to stimuli originating outside the body and provide information about the external environment such as hearing, vision, smell, taste, touch, pressure and temperature. (2) Interoceptors monitor conditions in the internal environment such as blood pressure. The sensations are usually not consciously perceived. (3) Proprioceptors are located in muscles, joints, tendons and the inner ear. They provide information about body position by detecting muscle tension, the position and movement of the joints.

Question type: Essay

48) Explain the process by which smell sensations are sensed and perceived. Answer:


Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 17.1 Describe the olfactory receptors and the neural pathway for olfaction. Study Objective 2: SO 17.1.2 Outline the neural pathway for olfaction. Section Reference 1: Sec 17.1 Olfaction: Sense of Smell Solution: Odorant molecules dissolve in mucus secreted by the olfactory epithelium and bind to receptors on olfactory hairs, triggering a generator potential in the olfactory receptor cells. In some cases the binding activates a G protein in the plasma membrane that activates adenylate cyclase that opens sodium ion channels. If the generator potential is above threshold, action potentials are generated in the axons of the olfactory receptor cells (first-order neurons). These axons transmit impulses via cranial nerve I through the olfactory foramina of the cribiform plate and terminate in the olfactory bulbs, where they synapse with second-order neurons. Axons from these neurons form the olfactory tracts, which transmit impulses to the olfactory area in the temporal lobe. Other important brain areas that receive impulses from the olfactory tracts include the limbic system, the hypothalamus, and the orbitofrontal area.

49) Emily was very ill with an upper respiratory infection. Her roommate gave her some chicken soup to make her feel better. Neither Emily nor her roommate realized that the soup was too hot to eat until after Emily put a spoonful in her mouth. Now Emily says she can’t taste anything. Why? When will she be able to taste again? Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 17.2 Describe the structure of gustatory receptors and the neural pathway for gustation. Section Reference 1: Sec 17.2 Gustation: Sense of Taste Solution: Emily probably already had trouble smelling her food because of her infection. The hot soup probably damaged her taste buds, especially the ones on the front and sides of her tongue. Those taste buds are more sensitive to sweet, sour and salty tastes. The ones at the back of the tongue are sensitive to bitter tastes, and the ones in the throat are sensitive to umami tastes. The taste buds are epithelial tissues and should heal in a few days or so. When they do, Emily will be able to taste again.

50) List and briefly describe the three processes that are used by the eye to form a clear image of object on the retina. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 17.3 Describe the structural and functional components of the eye and those of the vision pathway.


Study Objective 2: SO 17.3.2 Discuss image formation by describing refraction, accommodation, and constriction of the pupil. Section Reference 1: Sec 17.3 Vision Solution: 1) Refraction involves bending light rays as they move through different media in the eye to eventually form a focused inverted image on the central fovea, 2) Accommodation of the lens for near/distance vision involves changing the shape of lens using the ciliary muscle to help focus light rays on retina, and 3) Constriction of pupil involves an ANS reflex that helps prevent scattering of light through edges of lens.

51) Deafness can occur for many reasons. Use your knowledge of the structure of the ear and the process of detecting sound, to propose a mechanism for how arthritis could cause deafness. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 17.4 Describe the structural and functional components of the ear and those of the hearing and equilibrium pathways. Study Objective 2: SO 17.4.2 List the major events in the physiology of hearing. Section Reference 1: Sec 17.4 Hearing and Equilibrium Solution: Arthritis results when synovial joints are damaged and can no longer move freely. The joints between the ossicles, found in the middle ear, are synovial joints. If they became stiff from arthritis and their movements were limited, sound waves striking the tympanic membrane would not be efficiently transferred to the oval window of the cochlea. Without that transmission, the fluid in the cochlea cannot move the hair cells on the organ of Corti. If those hair cells do not move, no impulses relaying information about sound can be generated.

52) Differentiate between static and dynamic equilibrium. Describe the inner ear structures involved in receiving and transducing sensations involved in maintaining both types of equilibria. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 17.4 Describe the structural and functional components of the ear and those of the hearing and equilibrium pathways. Study Objective 2: SO 17.4.3 Identify the receptor organs for equilibrium, and describe how they function. Section Reference 1: Sec 17.4 Hearing and Equilibrium Solution: Static equilibrium is the maintenance of body position relative to gravity. Dynamic equilibrium is the maintenance of body position in response to movement. Hair cells in the maculae of the utricle and saccule bend are used to detect changes that help maintain static equilibrium. Hair cells in the cristae of semicircular ducts are used to detect changes involved in maintaining dynamic equilibrium.

37) Compare and contrast the mechanisms of action of lipid-soluble versus water-soluble hormones. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 18.4 Describe the two general mechanisms of hormone action. Section Reference 1: Sec 18.4 Mechanisms of Hormone Action Solution: Upon reaching their target cells, lipid-soluble hormones diffuse across the phospholipid bilayer of the target cell membrane and bind to receptors in the cytosol or nucleus. The activated receptor usually acts by turning transcription of genes either on or off, thus regulating synthesis of a protein. Water-soluble hormones bind to membrane receptors, which activate intracellular signaling pathways that lead to changes in the cell’s metabolic activity.

38) Describe the role of the hypothalamus in the regulation of hormone release from the pituitary gland. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 18.6 Describe the properties of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland and the relationships between them. Study Objective 2: SO 18.6.1 Describe the locations of and relationships between the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. Section Reference 1: Sec 18.6 Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland Solution: The hypothalamus is the integrating center for much sensory input. It secretes releasing and inhibiting hormones which diffuse into the hypophyseal portal system to regulate secretion of all hormones from the anterior pituitary gland. The hypothalamus also contains receptors that monitor blood osmotic pressure and neural input from reproductive structures. Integration of this input leads to production of ADH and OT by neurosecretory cells of the hypothalamus. These hormones are then transported through the hypothalamohypophyseal tract to be secreted by exocytosis from the posterior pituitary gland in response to nerve impulses.


39) Enuresis, or bedwetting, may be caused by psychological, anatomical or physiological factors. In the latter case, vasopressin is often prescribed and is a very effective treatment. What is vasopressin? How can it prevent enuresis? Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 18.6 Describe the properties of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland and the relationships between them. Study Objective 2: SO 18.6.2 Describe the location, histology, hormones, and functions of the anterior and posterior pituitary. Section Reference 1: Sec 18.6 Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland Solution: Vasopressin is also called antidiuretic hormone or ADH. In addition to its vasoconstrictive effects, ADH causes the kidneys to reabsorb more water. Someone who does not make enough ADH may not be able to contain all of the urine produced while they are sleeping. If they are not awakened by the pressure in their urinary bladder, they may wet the bed instead of getting up and going to the toilet. Since vasopressin helps the body reabsorb more water, a person’s bladder should not get so full that they end up wetting the bed while sleeping.

40) What is a goiter? Explain how goiters can develop in both hyposecretion and hypersecretion disorders. In these hyposecretion and hypersecretion disorders, would you expect the levels of other regulatory hormones involved in control of thyroid hormone secretion to be high or low? Why? Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 18.18 Describe the disorders that affect the endocrine system. Section Reference 1: Disorders: Homeostatic Imbalances that Affect the Endocrine System Solution: A goiter is an enlarged thyroid gland. Hyposecretion goiters are usually due to insufficient iodide in the diet. Resulting low levels of thyroid hormones cause increased TRH and TSH until adequate thyroid activity is restored. Graves' disease causes hyperthyroidism by producing an antibody that mimics TSH. Thyroid enlargement occurs, and production of thyroid hormones increases. TRH and natural TSH remain low due to negative feedback, but TSHmimicking antibody stimulates increased thyroid hormone production and secretion.

41) Compare the metabolic changes that occur during starvation with those that occur in diabetes mellitus. Answer: Difficulty: Hard Study Objective 1: SO 18.18 Describe the disorders that affect the endocrine system. Section Reference 1: Disorders: Homeostatic Imbalances that Affect the Endocrine System


Solution: A starving person is lacking energy-providing nutrient sources, and so, must use structural components of the body as energy sources. The diabetic consumes adequate nutrients, but due to the lack of insulin, is unable to move glucose into cells, and so, cannot use the glucose as an energy source. In both cases, energy generation becomes dependent on non-glucose sources, such as fatty acids and amino acids. Mobilization and metabolism of fats and proteins for energy production purposes leads to ketoacidosis, weight loss, and hunger.

Section Reference 1: Sec 19.1 Functions and Properties of Blood Solution: 1) Transportation of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, wastes, hormones and heat; 2) Regulation of pH via buffers, body temperature via properties of water in plasma, and water balance via osmotic pressure created by plasma proteins; 3)Protection via clotting, antibodies, phagocytosis, and complement.


42) Describe the negative feedback loop that controls the rate of erythropoiesis. Under what circumstances would you expect the rate of erythropoiesis to increase? How would it be possible to tell if the rate of erythropoiesis is elevated? Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 19.3 Describe the structure, functions, life cycle, and production of red blood cells. Section Reference 1: Sec 19.3 Red Blood Cells Solution: Hypoxia in the kidney leads to secretion of erythropoietin, which targets proerythroblasts in red bone marrow to mature into reticulocytes, which enter circulation to become red blood cells thus increasing the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood. Tissue hypoxia is induced by any form of anemia (reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of blood), or when oxygen levels in the external environment are low (e.g., high altitudes). High levels of reticulocytes in the circulation are a strong indicator of increased erythropoiesis.

Question type: Essay


52) Describe the vessel wall characteristics of the five main types of blood vessels that blood travels through from the time it leaves the left ventricle until it returns to the right atrium. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 21.1 Describe the pressure and volume relationships of the vessels as blood moves in its passage from the heart to the capillaries and back. Study Objective 2: SO 21.1.1 Contrast the structure and function of arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins. Section Reference 1: Sec 21.1 Structure and Function of Blood Vessels Solution: Blood is carried away from the heart in arteries. All arteries have an outer tunica externa (mostly elastic and collagen fibers), an inner tunica media (mostly smooth muscle and elastic fibers) and a lining called the tunica interna (endothelial tissue). Large diameter arteries have more elastic fibers than smooth muscle in their walls and conduct blood to regions of the body, e.g. the subclavian artery carries blood toward the upper extremity. As arteries enter a body region, they branch and their diameters decrease. Their walls have proportionately more smooth muscle than elastic tissue. These arteries are called muscular or distributing arteries, e.g. the radial artery. Branching of the blood vessels continues until the vessels are nearly microscopic arterioles. Arterioles have little elastic tissue, but can change diameter quickly because of the smooth muscle in their wall. Thus, they are the major sites of regulation of blood pressure and distribution. Arterioles feed into capillary beds. Capillaries are the sites of exchange between the tissues and the blood. Venules drain the capillaries and begin the path back to the heart. Venules merge to form veins (and ultimately, vena cava) that carry the blood to the heart. Veins have much less smooth muscle than arteries. Vein also have valves that help prevent backflow of blood.

53) In a freak accident, an overheated and dehydrated roofer falls off the roof and onto a mirror that is being brought into a construction site. The mirror breaks and cuts several blood vessels, including the femoral artery. What will happen to the roofer’s NFP in his capillary beds? Why? Answer: Difficulty: Hard Study Objective 1: SO 21.2 Discuss the pressures that cause movement of fluids between capillaries and interstitial spaces. Section Reference 1: Sec 21.2 Capillary Exchange Solution: If the roofer overheated, he probably had already lost a significant volume of body fluid through perspiration as his body tried to cool off. That loss would account for the dehydration. Loss of fluid without significant loss of solutes causes the blood colloidal osmotic pressure (BCOP) to increase. The cuts the roofer suffered would cause hemorrhaging and a loss of blood hydrostatic pressure (BHP). If the BHP goes down and the BCOP goes up, the net filtration pressure (NFP) should decrease because NFP = (BHP + IFOP) – BCOP. [IFOP is the interstitial fluid osmotic pressure, which is so much smaller than the BHP or BCOP that it usually doesn’t change NFP.]


54) Identify and discuss the factors that contribute to systemic vascular resistance. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 21.3 Describe the relationship between blood volume, pressure and flow. Study Objective 2: SO 21.3.3 Describe the factors that determine mean arterial pressure and systemic vascular resistance. Section Reference 1: Sec 21.3 Hemodynamics: Factors Affecting Blood Flow Solution: 1) Blood viscosity is dependent on the ratio of formed elements and proteins to plasma. In general, increased viscosity, via increased formed elements or decreasing plasma volume, increases resistance. 2) Total blood vessel length is directly proportional to resistance; thus, increasing length of circuit (by adding new blood vessels to serve added tissue) increases resistance. 3) Diameter/radius of blood vessels, which is primarily controlled by ANS, has a major effect on resistance. Increased vessel diameter decreases resistance, thus increasing flow. In general, changes in the diameter of small vessels (e.g. arterioles) have greater effect because more surface area is in contact with blood.

55) Describe the route of an RBC traveling from the heart to the left elbow and back to the heart. Answer: Difficulty: Hard Study Objective 1: SO 21.1 Describe the pressure and volume relationships of the vessels as blood moves in its passage from the heart to the capillaries and back. Study Objective 2: SO 21.1.2 Outline the vessels through which the blood moves in its passage from the heart to the capillaries and back. Section Reference 1: Sec 21.1 Structure and Function of Blood Vessels Solution: From the heart, the RBC will enter the ascending aorta and then the aortic arch. The RBC will exit the aorta through the left subclavian artery, continue on that route through the axillary artery and into the brachial artery. At the elbow, the blood cell will exit into one of the small distributing arteries, move into a capillary bed, and then into venules in the elbow region. The RBC will then probably enter the median cubital vein and move into either the basilic or the cephalic vein. The basilic vein drains into the brachial vein, which drains into the axillary vein. The cephalic vein drains directly into the axillary vein. From axillary vein, the RBC will travel into the subclavian and brachiocephalic veins before entering the superior vena cava. The SVC will take the RBC back to the heart.

Section Reference 1: Disorders: Homeostatic Imbalances that Affect the Respiratory System Solution: Nicotine constricts terminal bronchioles to increase airway resistance, as does the increased mucus secretion and swelling of the mucosa. Smoke inhibits the movement of cilia, which allows buildup of substances and microbes normally removed. Over time, smoking leads to destruction of elastic tissue, which decreases compliance, and ultimately to the effects of emphysema.

51) Describe the neural, chemical, and physical changes that increase the rate and depth of ventilation during exercise. Answer:


Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 23.7 Describe the effects of exercise on the respiratory system. Section Reference 1: Sec 23.7 Exercise and the Respiratory System Solution: Anticipation of exercise generates neural input to the limbic system. Sensory input is provided from proprioceptors and motor input is provided from the primary motor cortex. As the partial pressure of oxygen falls due to increased consumption, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide and the temperature increase due to metabolic activity in muscle fibers. Also, carbon dioxide is added via the buffering of the hydrogen ions produced as a result of lactic acid production. Chemoreceptors sense the changes in partial pressure and notify the medullary rhythmicity center to increase the rate and depth of breathing.

52) In chronic emphysema, some alveoli merge together and some are replaced with fibrous connective tissue. In addition, the bronchioles are often inflamed, and expiratory volume is reduced. Using proper respiratory system terminology, explain at least four reasons why affected individuals will have problems with ventilation and external respiration. Answer: Difficulty: Hard Study Objective 1: SO 23.11 Describe the disorders that affect the respiratory system. Section Reference 1: Disorders: Homeostatic Imbalances that Affect the Respiratory System Solution: Answers could include: reduced compliance (reduces ability to increase thoracic volume); increased airway resistance (decreases tidal volume); decreased diffusion due to increased diffusion distance, decreased surface area, and changes in partial pressures of gases (altering gradients). Other answers may be acceptable.

55) Explain why food does not normally go up into your nasal cavity or down into your lungs when you swallow-even if you are standing on your head when you swallow. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 24.8 Describe the three phases of deglutition. Section Reference 1: Sec 24.8 Deglutition Solution: Presence of food in the oropharynx stimulates the deglutition center in the medulla and pons to move the soft palate and uvula upward to close off the nasopharynx, thus keeping food out of the nasal cavity. At the same time, the larynx rises and the epiglottis moves down and back to seal off the larynx, which is further closed by the vocal cords, thus keeping food from entering the lower respiratory tract.

Question type: Essay

50) Briefly outline the possible fates of glucose in the body. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 25.3 Describe the fate, metabolism, and functions of carbohydrates. Section Reference 1: Sec 25.3 Carbohydrate Metabolism Solution: 1) immediate oxidation for ATP production 2) synthesis of amino acids for protein synthesis 3) synthesis of glycogen for storage in liver and skeletal muscle 4) formation of triglycerides via lipogenesis for long term storage after glycogen stores are full 5) excretion in urine if blood glucose is very high


51) What are the possible fates of pyruvic acid in the body? What is the primary determinant of the fate of pyruvic acid? What is the fate of compounds to which pyruvic acid may be converted? Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 25.3 Describe the fate, metabolism, and functions of carbohydrates. Section Reference 1: Sec 25.3 Carbohydrate Metabolism Solution: Pyruvic acid in the presence of low oxygen is reduced to lactic acid, which is converted to either glycogen or carbon dioxide. In the presence of high oxygen levels, pyruvic acid is converted to an acetyl unit, which may be carried into the Krebs cycle by coenzyme A or converted into fatty acids, ketone bodies, or cholesterol.

52) Identify the different types of lipoproteins and describe the function of each. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 25.4 Describe the roles of lipids in metabolism and their transport in the blood. Study Objective 2: SO 25.4.1 Describe the lipoproteins that transport lipids in the blood. Section Reference 1: Sec 25.4 Lipid Metabolism Solution: Chylomicrons transport dietary lipids in the lymph and blood. Very low density lipoproteins transport endogenous triglycerides from hepatocytes to adipocytes for storage. Low density lipoproteins transport cholesterol through the body for use in repair of membranes and synthesis of steroid hormones and bile salts. High density lipoproteins transport excess cholesterol to the liver for elimination.

53) Describe the role of the hypothalamus in regulation of food intake. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 25.8 Describe the maintenance of basal metabolic rate (BMR) and body temperature. Study Objective 2: SO 25.8.1 Define basal metabolic rate (BMR), and explain several factors that affect it. Section Reference 1: Sec 25.8 Heat and Energy Balance Solution: The hypothalamus contains the neurons of the feeding center that stimulate eating and of the satiety center that signal fullness. Two nuclei in the hypothalamus that help regulate food intake are the arcuate and paraventricular nuclei. The hormone leptin, released by adipocytes, inhibits release of neuropeptide Y from the arcuate nucleus and thereby decreases food intake. Melanocortin also decreases food intake. It is thought that changes in blood chemistry (in terms


of nutrients and hormone balance), as well as distention of the gastrointestinal tract, initiate appropriate hypothalamic activity.

Question type: Essay

45) Describe the flow of blood through the kidneys.

Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 26.2 Describe the anatomy of the kidneys Study Objective 2: SO 26.2.2 Trace the path of blood flow through the kidneys. Section Reference 1: Sec 26.2 Anatomy and Histology of the Kidneys


Solution: Kidneys receive 20 to 25% of the resting cardiac output via the renal arteries. The renal arteries branch to form segmental arteries, which branch to form interlobar arteries (through renal columns) to arcuate arteries (over bases of pyramids) to interlobular arteries. The interlobular arteries branch to form afferent arterioles to each nephron. Afferent arterioles branch to form glomerular capillaries where filtration occurs. Glomerular capillaries merge to form efferent arterioles, which then branch to form peritubular capillaries. Juxtamedullary nephrons also have vasa recta capillaries around them. Peritubular capillaries merge to form peritubular veins and with the vasa recta to form interlobular veins to arcuate veins to interlobar veins. Blood exits the kidney via renal veins.

46) Trace the flow of a water molecule through the nephrons from the afferent arteriole to the minor calyx.

Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 26.5 Describe tubular reabsorption and secretion. Study Objective 2: SO 26.5.2 Describe how specific segments of the renal tubule and collecting duct reabsorb water and solutes. Section Reference 1: Sec 26.5 Tubular Reabsorption and Tubular Secretion. Solution: The water would flow from the afferent arteriole into the glomerulus, where it would be filtered into the Bowman’s capsule. From the Bowman’s capsule, it would enter the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT). Most of its companion water molecules would be reabsorbed into the blood from the PCT. The next part of the trip would take the water molecule through the descending of the nephron loop, where more of its companion water molecules would be reabsorbed. From there, the water molecule would climb the ascending nephron loop and move into the distal convoluted tubule (DCT). Toward the end of the DCT and most of the collecting duct, there are principal cells that respond to ADH and can reabsorb more water molecules. If not reabsorbed in the DCT or the collecting duct, the water molecule would move into the papillary duct that drains into the minor calyx.

47) Describe the structural features of the renal corpuscle that enhance its blood filtering capacity.

Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 26.4 Describe glomerular filtration. Study Objective 2: SO 26.4.1 Describe the filtration membrane.

Podocytes with filtration slits between pedicels wrap the glomerular capillaries. The large surface area also contributes to filtering ability, as does the high glomerular hydrostatic pressure created by the arrangement of the afferent and


efferent arterioles, in which the diameter of the efferent arteriole is smaller than that of the afferent arteriole.

Section Reference 1: Sec 26.5 Tubular Reabsorption and Tubular Secretion. Solution: Dehydration causes a decrease in blood volume and pressure, which then decreases glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The juxtaglomerular( JG) cells of the juxtaglomerular apparatus sense decreased stretch and macula densa cells sense decreased water. The JG cells secrete renin, which converts angiotensinogen in blood to angiotensin I. The latter is converted to angiotensin II by angiotensin converting enzymes in the lungs. Angiotensin II causes constriction of efferent arterioles, increased thirst, greater ADH secretion from the posterior pituitary, and increased secretion of aldosterone from the adrenal cortex. Blood volume is increased, which increases venous return, stroke volume, cardiac output, and blood pressure. GFR is also increased.

34) Describe the negative feedback loop that stimulates thirst as a result of dehydration. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 27.1 Understand fluid balance and the fluid compartments in the body.


Study Objective 2: SO 27.1.2 Describe the sources of water and solute gain and loss, and explain how each is regulated. Section Reference 1: Sec 27.1 Fluid Compartments and Fluid Homeostasis Solution: Dehydration causes 1) decreased flow of saliva, which dries the mouth and pharynx, 2) increased blood osmotic pressure, which stimulates osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus, and 3) decreased blood volume, which lowers blood pressure, increasing release of renin from JG cells, increasing levels of angiotensin II. All of these stimulate the thirst center in the hypothalamus, which increases fluid intake via thirst, thus increasing body water. 35) Normal blood Na+ levels are 136-148 mEq/L. An elderly patient has a blood Na+ of 105 mEq/L. Describe the patient’s condition and the signs and symptoms that usually accompany that condition. Be sure to include the functions of Na+ in the body in your answer. Answer: Difficulty: Hard Study Objective 1: SO 27.2 Compare the functions of select electrolytes and their occurrence in the three major fluid compartments. Study Objective 2: SO 27.2.2 Discuss the functions of sodium, chloride, potassium, bicarbonate, calcium, phosphate, and magnesium ions, and explain how their concentrations are regulated. Section Reference 1: Sec 27.2 Electrolytes in Body Fluids Solution: The patient has hyponatremia, or low Na+ concentration in the blood. The body uses Na+ in the depolarization phase of action potentials and in maintaining osmotic balance. Sometimes elderly people lose the ability to concentrate urine and lose too much Na+. Other causes of hyponatremia include inadequate dietary intake or gastrointestinal upsets such as diarrhea and vomiting. Typical signs and symptoms of hyponatremia include muscular weakness, dizziness, headache, tachycardia, hypotension, confusion, stupor and coma.

36) Explain how it is possible for a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease to have a normal extracellular pH while having an elevated partial pressure of carbon dioxide. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 27.3 Compare the mechanisms for maintaining acid-base homeostasis and the changes in fluid balance that may occur with aging. Study Objective 2: SO 27.3.2 Define acid-base imbalances, describe their effects on the body, and explain how they are treated. Section Reference 1: Sec 27.3 Acid-Base Homeostasis Solution: Elevated partial pressure of carbon dioxide causes respiratory acidosis, which is compensated by an increase in plasma levels of bicarbonate ion. Because the patient cannot breathe off the excess carbon dioxide due to structural changes in the respiratory system, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide stays high, but compensated by bicarbonate.


37) A patient's blood pH is 7.48; partial pressure of carbon dioxide is 32 mm Hg and levels of bicarbonate in the blood are 20 mEq/liter. What can you tell about this patient's condition? Explain your answer. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 27.3 Compare the mechanisms for maintaining acid-base homeostasis and the changes in fluid balance that may occur with aging. Study Objective 2: SO 27.3.2 Define acid-base imbalances, describe their effects on the body, and explain how they are treated. Section Reference 1: Sec 27.3 Acid-Base Homeostasis Solution: The patient is in respiratory alkalosis (high pH, low carbon dioxide), which is partially compensated (low bicarbonate).

Question type: Essay

41) Trace the path of a sperm cell from the site of its maturation to the site where it leaves the male body. Include descriptions of fluids added along that path.


Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 28.1 Describe the anatomical and physiological components of the male reproductive system. Study Objective 2: SO 28.1.1 Describe the location, structure, and functions of the organs of the male reproductive system. Section Reference 1: Sec 28.1 Male Reproductive System. Solution: Sperm mature in the epididymis. From there, they travel through the ductus (Vas) deferens through the abdominal cavity to the ampulla of the ductus deferens which merges with the duct of the seminal vesicle to form the ejaculatory duct. Sperm and the alkaline, fructose-rich fluid from the seminal vesicle move from the ejaculatory duct into the prostatic urethra, where they are mixed with a slightly acidic mucoid fluid from the prostate. Next the sperm and fluid pass through the membranous urethra and are mixed with additional alkaline secretions from the bulbourethral glands. The combination of sperm and secretions is called semen. The mixture travels through the penile urethra as it is ejaculated.

42) Describe the functions of testosterone. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 28.1 Describe the anatomical and physiological components of the male reproductive system. Study Objective 2: SO 28.1.2 Discuss the process of spermatogenesis in the testes. Section Reference 1: Sec 28.1 Male Reproductive System. Solution: Testosterone promotes the development and maintenance of male secondary sex characteristics, protein anabolism, development of sexual function (behavior, libido, spermatogenesis), and the male pattern of development during prenatal life.

43) Describe the roles of estrogens and progesterone. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 28.3 Compare the major events of the ovarian and uterine cycles. Section Reference 1: Sec 28.3 The Female Reproductive Cycle. Solution: Estrogens secreted by ovarian follicles have several important functions: • Estrogens promote the development and maintenance of female reproductive structures, secondary sex characteristics, and the breasts. The secondary sex characteristics include distribution of adipose tissue in the breasts, abdomen, mons pubis, and hips; voice pitch; a broad pelvis; and pattern of hair growth on the head and body. • Estrogens increase protein anabolism, including the building of strong bones. In this regard,


estrogens are synergistic with human growth hormone (hGH). • Estrogens lower blood cholesterol level, which is probably the reason that women under age 50 have a much lower risk of coronary artery disease than do men of comparable age. • Moderate levels of estrogens in the blood inhibit both the release of GnRH by the hypothalamus and secretion of LH and FSH by the anterior pituitary. Progesterone, secreted mainly by cells of the corpus luteum, cooperates with estrogens to prepare and maintain the endometrium for implantation of a fertilized ovum and to prepare the mammary glands for milk secretion. High levels of progesterone also inhibit secretion of GnRH and LH.

44) Describe the positive feedback loop involved in ovulation. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 28.3 Compare the major events of the ovarian and uterine cycles. Section Reference 1: Sec 28.3 The Female Reproductive Cycle. Solution: A high concentration of estrogens stimulates more frequent release of GnRH from the hypothalamus. It also directly stimulates gonadotrophs in the anterior pituitary to secrete LH. GnRH promotes the release of FSH and additional LH by the anterior pituitary. LH causes rupture of the mature ovarian follicle and expulsion of a secondary oocyte about 9 hours after the peak of the LH surge. The ovulated oocyte and its corona radiata cells are usually swept into the uterine tube.

Question type: Essay

42) Describe the products of the three primary germ layers. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 29.1 Explain the major developmental events that occur during the embryonic period. Section Reference 1: Sec 29.1 Embryonic Period Solution: The primary germ layers are the endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm. The endoderm ultimately develops into tissues such as epithelial linings and associated glands in the respiratory, digestive and reproductive systems. The mesoderm becomes connective tissues, muscle tissues


and the dermis. The ectoderm yields the epidermis, the nervous system and some additional epithelial membranes.

43) Describe the process and purpose of amniocentesis. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 29.4 Describe the procedures for fetal ultrasonography, amniocentesis, and chorionic villi sampling. Section Reference 1: Sec 29.4 Prenatal Diagnostic Tests Solution: The position of the fetus and placenta is identified via ultrasound and palpation, and the skin is prepared with antiseptic and local anesthetic. A hypodermic needle is inserted through the abdominal wall and uterus to withdraw 10 mL of amniotic fluid from the amniotic cavity. The fluid and cells are examined and biochemically tested for abnormal proteins and chromosome abnormalities that may signal fetal problems and congenital defects.

44) Describe the hormonal events surrounding parturition. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 29.7 Explain the events associated with the three stages of labor. Section Reference 1: Sec 29.7 Labor Solution: Fetal CRH secretion increases, which causes estrogen to rise as fetal ACTH triggers an increase in cortisol and DHEA. Placenta converts DHEA to estrogen. In turn, estrogen increases oxytocin receptors on uterine smooth muscle fibers and makes them form gap junctions. Oxytocin stimulates uterine contraction, and relaxin dilates the cervix and loosens the pubic symphysis. Estrogen also increases prostaglandins to digest collagen in the cervix. Oxytocin, cervix, and the hypothalamus maintain a positive feedback loop to maintain labor.

45) Distinguish between genotype and phenotype and explain how the environment may affect each. Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 29.10 Define inheritance, and explain the inheritance of dominant, recessive, complex, and sex-linked traits. Section Reference 1: Sec 29.10 Inheritance Solution: Genotype is the actual DNA sequence or genetic makeup of an individual. Teratogens (agents that cause mutations) might damage the DNA and change the genotype. For instance, the DNA in an embryo exposed to ionizing radiation might be damaged, resulting in genes that


malfunction. Phenotype is the physical expression of the genes. Height, hair color, and even enzyme activity are phenotypes. If the genotype is changed by the environment, the phenotype may also be changed. A single base change in DNA is responsible for the sickle cell phenotype. Phenotype is dependent on the environment in a variety of ways. One example is that a child might have the genotype “tall”. If the child doesn’t receive adequate nutrition, though, he still might not be as tall as his genes would ordinarily allow. 46) Red-green color blindness is a recessive, X-linked trait represented as Xc. (Normal color vision is represented as XC.) If a daughter has red-green color blindness, what must the genotypes of her parents be? Answer: Difficulty: Medium Study Objective 1: SO 29.10 Define inheritance, and explain the inheritance of dominant, recessive, complex, and sex-linked traits. Section Reference 1: Sec 29.10 Inheritance Solution: The daughter can only have red-green color blindness if she received two copies of Xc chromosomes. Since her father only has one X chromosome, his genotype must be XcY. The other Xc chromosome had to come from her mother. If her mother has normal color vision, the mother’s genotype is XCXc. However, if the mother is also color blind, the mother’s genotype must be XcXc.
