1) Explain the relationship between anatomy and physiology. Answer: Anatomy is the study of the structure and shape of the body and its parts and their relationships to one another. Physiology is the study of how the body and its parts work or function. Structure (anatomy) determines what functions (physiology) can take place in the human body. Page Ref: 24 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 2) List, and briefly define, the human body's organization levels from smallest to largest. Answer: 1. Chemical level: a. atoms are the basic building blocks of matter. b. molecules are units formed by atoms combining. 2. Cellular level: Cells are the smallest living units in living organisms. 3. Tissue level: Tissues are groupings of cells performing a common function. 4. Organ level: An organ is a structure consisting of two or more tissue types. 5. Organ system level: An organ system describes a group of organs functioning cooperatively for a common purpose. 6. Organism level: A human organism consists of all of the organ systems of the body working together to promote healthy functioning (homeostasis). Page Ref: 24-25 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 3) Identify the organ system that bears the major responsibility for responsiveness, one of the necessary life functions, and briefly explain the system's role in the body. Answer: The nervous system bears the major responsibility for responsiveness (or irritability), the ability to sense changes (stimuli) in the environment and then react to them. Nerve cells are highly irritable and can communicate rapidly via electrical and is thus the fast-acting control system of the body. This system responds to internal and external changes by activating appropriate muscles and glands. Page Ref: 26 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding

4) List and explain the five survival needs of humans. Answer: 1. Nutrients include carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and vitamins and minerals, which are taken in via the diet for energy and cell building. 2. Oxygen is required to release energy from food. 3. Water accounts for 60 to 80 percent of the body weight and provides the basis for various body fluids. 4. Normal body temperature should be around 37°C or 98.6°F. When body temperature becomes too high or too low, physiological activities cease, primarily because chemical reactions are affected. 5. Appropriate atmospheric pressure is the force exerted on the surface of the body by the weight of air; it is essential for normal operation of the respiratory system and breathing. Page Ref: 29-31 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 5) A young child needs an X-ray to determine if she has fractured some bones in her arm. The X-ray should be taken with the arm in the lateral view. The radiology technologist makes an error and performs a frontal (coronal) view instead. Evaluate her error. Answer: There should be concern for this error as the lateral view is a side view of the elbow while the anterior view is a front view of the elbow. The lateral X-ray view may reveal certain structures or fractures not seen in an anterior view. The anterior view may not allow a fracture to be seen due to the positioning of the bones in the elbow joint. This positioning error could lead to a possible misdiagnosis. Page Ref: 34 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating 6) Identify the two dorsal body cavities, and state their locations and the organs contained therein. Answer: 1. Cranial cavity—the superior posterior space inside the bony skull that houses the brain. 2. Spinal cavity—the inferior posterior space inside the bony vertebral column that houses the spinal cord. Page Ref: 38 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 7) You are preparing to give an injection to a patient in his deltoid region. Explain specifically where you will administer this injection. Answer: The deltoid region is a visible landmark on the anterior body surface. The injection will be administered into the area formed by the large deltoid muscle and the curve of the shoulder.

8) Explain how the roles of the receptor and effector differ in the negative feedback mechanism to maintain homeostasis. Answer: In the negative feedback mechanism, the receptor is a type of sensor that monitors and responds to changes, called stimuli, in the environment. The receptor sends input information to a control center in the feedback loop. The control center analyzes the information it receives and determines an appropriate course of action. The effector provides the means for the control center's response (output) to the stimulus. The results of the response then feedback to influence the stimulus. Page Ref: 40-41 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 9) Explain the terms distal and proximal using an example. Answer: The term distal means farther from the origin of a body part or point or the attachment of a limb to the trunk. The ankle is distal to the knee means the ankle is farther from the leg's attachment to the trunk than the knee. The term proximal means closer to the origin of a body part of the point of attachment of a limb to the trunk. The knee is proximal to the ankle means the knee is closer to the leg's attachment to the trunk than the ankle. Page Ref: 34 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 10) We sometimes hear stories of medical mistakes being made such an amputation of the left leg when the right leg was the intended limb. How should the use of anatomical position help medical professionals avoid these types of errors? Answer: Anatomical position is defined as standing erect, feet parallel, the arms hanging at the sides with the palms facing forward. Anatomical position is used because it is a standard position; it also helps us to avoid confusion. Additionally, anatomical position is a reference point that helps us accurately describe body parts and position no matter the actual position the body happens to be in. Medical professionals should remember to look at the patient's own left and right sides–not their own–as that will help reduce errors in practice. Page Ref: 33 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 11) Explain homeostasis as it relates to the human body. Answer: Homeostasis is the body's ability to maintain relative stable internal conditions even though the outside world is continuously changing. Homeostasis is a dynamic state of equilibrium, or a balance in which internal conditions change and vary but always within relatively narrow limits. The body demonstrates homeostasis when its needs are being adequately met, and it is functioning smoothly. Page Ref: 40 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding

12) Burn patients have difficulty in regulating their body temperatures, in part due to the loss of their protective covering. Given your knowledge of how homeostatic control systems operate, predict why burn patients may often be cold. Answer: Sensory receptors located in the skin alert us to what is happening at the body surface. While these receptors are situated in the integumentary system, they are part of the nervous system. Skin sensory receptors normally detect changes in temperature and send messages along an afferent pathway to the control center (central nervous system). When a person experiences burns, these sensory receptors can be damaged. They may no longer send messages to the control center about changes in temperature, such as when a person is too cold. As a result, the control center will not receive adequate input to alert effectors to warm the body when needed. As a result, the patient will be cold.

2.5 Essay Questions 1) Describe the role of the electron in chemical bond formation. Answer: When the valence shell of an atom contains fewer than eight electrons, an atom will tend to gain, lose, or share electrons with other atoms to reach a stable state. As a result, chemical bonds such as covalent bonds or ionic bonds are formed. Page Ref: 53 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 2) Differentiate between the method of determination of the atomic number and the atomic mass number. Answer: The atomic number is determined by the number of protons in that atom. The atomic mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the atom's nucleus. Page Ref: 50 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 3) As a radiology technician, Kevin is tasked with a nuclear medicine diagnostic test for a thyroid patient. Small amounts of radioactive iodine isotopes, such as 123I or 131I, will be used. Why is iodine the preferred radioisotope for this patient? Explain why radioisotopes are used in tests such as this one. Answer: First, iodine is used by the body to make functional thyroid hormone. The thyroid gland will take up the radioactive iodine to be used in making this hormone. Radioisotopes are unstable isotopes of heavier elements that tend to decompose to become more stable. Recall that isotopes are structural variations of an element that vary by their neutron number. Radioisotopes are used to tag biological molecules, so they can be followed or traced through the human body. Radioisotopes are valuable tools in medical diagnosis and treatment. Page Ref: 48, 51 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 4) Your neighbor recently had a heart attack and is on a diet with reduced fats. His son, Dan, makes a trip to the grocery store and returns with a variety of foods. In making his purchases, he assumed that trans fats are the best options for heart health and that saturated fats are better for his dad than unsaturated fats. Assess Dan's ranking of these types of triglycerides. Answer: In fact, Dan has the ranking for these triglycerides in reverse order. The healthiest fats for the heart are unsaturated fats. Unsaturated fats tend to be plant oils, have some double or triple bonds between carbon atoms, and may be liquid at room temperature. The presence of the double or triple bonds allows the fatty acid chains to kink. Saturated fats are less healthy because they tend to be animal fats, may be solid at room temperature, and have all single bonds between carbon atoms in the fatty acid chains. Trans fats are oils that have been solidified by the addition of hydrogen atoms at the sites of double carbon bonds. Trans fats raise the risk for heart disease by elevating "bad" cholesterol and lowering "good" cholesterol. Page Ref: 65, 67 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating

5) When you soak dirty dishes in your sink, you allow water to break apart the bonds of the food stuck to your plates. Relate this process to the chemical reactions associated with organic compounds you learned in this chapter. Identify the type of reaction that happens in this situation, and explain how water accomplishes this goal. Answer: This type of reaction is known as a hydrolysis reaction. Hydrolysis reactions involve the breakdown of a more complex molecule, such as a polymer of food, into its building blocks, or monomers. Water molecules break apart the bonds of the food stuck to the plate much the way we find water molecules hydrolyzing or breaking apart polymers of organic compounds in the human body being separated into monomers. Page Ref: 63-64 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 6) Differentiate between the functions of RNA and DNA. Answer: DNA is the genetic material found in the nucleus of a cell. It replicates prior to cell division to ensure every body cell is identical. DNA provides instructions for building every protein in the body. By contrast, RNA is mostly found outside the nucleus and carries out the instructions for generating proteins as dictated by DNA. Page Ref: 73, 75-76 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 7) Describe the difference between the roles of functional (globular) proteins and structural (fibrous) proteins. Answer: Structural proteins most often appear in the body structures, binding structures together or providing strength in tissues. Functional proteins perform jobs for the body. They serve in a variety of roles in the body from antibodies, enzymes, and hormones to transport proteins. Page Ref: 71 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 8) Explain why a denatured protein no longer functions. Answer: Denaturation results when the three-dimensional shape of a protein is destroyed. The function of a protein depends on its structure. The presence of an active site on the surface of a protein that interacts with other molecules must be intact for the protein to work properly. Page Ref: 72 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 9) Discuss the organization of the pH scale, including the location of acids, bases, and neutral substances. Answer: The pH scale is based on the number of hydrogen ions in solution. The pH scale is constructed from zero to 14. Each sequential change of one pH unit represents a ten-fold change in hydrogen ion concentration. Solutions with a pH lower than seven are considered acidic while solutions with a pH greater than seven are considered basic (alkaline). At a pH of seven, the solution is neutral since hydrogen ion concentration equals hydroxyl ion concentration. Page Ref: 62 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding

10) Describe the four structural levels of proteins. Answer: 1. The primary structure of a protein resembles a string of beads in which the amino acids form the basis for the protein molecule. 2. A protein in its secondary structure may exist in a coiled alpha-helix or an accordion-like betapleated sheet. 3. Most proteins reach the more complex tertiary level of structure. The tertiary structure is achieved when the alpha-helical or beta-pleated region of the polypeptide chain folds in on itself to form a globular (ball-like) molecule. 4. The quaternary structure results when two polypeptide chains combine to form a complex protein. Page Ref: 70-71 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 11) Joey works in a lab on an organic compound with the formula of C6H12O6. Determine the type of organic compound, being as specific as possible, on which he works. Explain how you know. Answer: Joey is working with a carbohydrate. Carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in the same ratio as water (two hydrogens to every carbon and oxygen atom). To be specific, he is working with a monosaccharide. Monosaccharides contain between three and seven carbon atoms. Page Ref: 64 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 12) Explain how potential energy differs from kinetic energy. Answer: When energy is doing work, it is referred to as kinetic energy. However, when energy is active or stored, we call it potential energy. Page Ref: 46 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 13) Explain the relationship between atoms and elements. Answer: Elements are unique substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by ordinary chemical means. Each element is composed of very similar particles, or building blocks, called atoms. Because all elements are unique, the atoms of each element differ from those of all other elements.

14) An atom of the element Boron has an atomic number of 5 and an atomic mass number of 11. While reviewing for a test, your friend Addison determines this atom to have 5 protons, 6 electrons, and 5 neutrons. Evaluate her answers for accuracy. Answer: The atomic number of Boron is 5; the atomic number is equal to the number of protons. Addison is correct about the number of protons. However, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons. Your friend incorrectly answered 6 electrons; the correct number is 5 electrons. Finally, the atomic mass number is 11. This number indicates the total number of protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus. Since we know 5 of those 11 subatomic particles are protons, the remaining 6 subatomic particles will be neutrons. Addison incorrectly answered the number of neutrons. Page Ref: 50 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating 15) We usually drink water with a pH close to 7. In the past several years, alkaline water has been popular among some consumers and advertised as being good for health. Upon drinking alkaline water, acidic stomach juices will neutralize alkaline water. Given what you know about neutralization reactions and the pH scale, evaluate alkaline water as a health tonic. Answer: Neutralization reactions are exchange reactions in which an acid (stomach acid) and a base (alkaline water) react with each other to form water and a salt. Since alkaline water is neutralized by stomach acids, it is likely this type of drink has little to no health benefit since it will not make it past the stomach.

Essay Questions

1) Drinking too much water over a short period of time can disrupt the electrolyte balance in the body (called water intoxication or hypotonic hydration). Explain how cells respond to an environment with less solutes than their intracellular fluid. Answer: This solution is hypotonic to the cells since it contains less solutes than the body's cells. In these solutions, cells rapidly swell and fill with water in an attempt to reach equilibrium. Cells may also burst, or lyse. Page Ref: 99 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 2) Describe the structural organization of the nucleus of a cell. Answer: The nucleus of a cell has three recognizable regions or structures: the nuclear envelope (membrane), nucleolus, and chromatin. The nuclear envelope forms a boundary, is a double membrane with pores, and surrounds the nucleoplasm. The nucleus also contains one or more nucleoli, sites where ribosomes are assembled. When cell division is not occurring, DNA is wound around proteins (histones) to form chromatin, which is scattered throughout the nucleus. Page Ref: 85, 86 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 3) Explain the difference between filtration and osmosis. Answer: Filtration is the process by which water and solutes are forced through a membrane by fluid (hydrostatic pressure). Hydrostatic pressure is exerted by the blood. By contrast, osmosis is a type of diffusion in which water moves across a membrane through aquaporins. During osmosis, water moves down its concentration gradient to achieve equilibrium. Page Ref: 96-98 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 4) Explain what is meant by selective permeability in reference to the plasma membrane. Answer: The plasma membrane is a selectively permeable barrier. Selective permeability means that a barrier allows some substances to pass through it while excluding others. The plasma membrane allows nutrients to enter the cell, but keeps many undesirable or unnecessary substances out. At the same time, valuable cell proteins and other substances are kept within the cell, and wastes are allowed to pass out of it. Page Ref: 96 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding

5) List the three different types of RNA and identify their functions. Answer: 1. Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries the "message" containing instructions for protein synthesis from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm. 2. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) forms part of the "ribosomal" structure and helps coordinate the protein building process. 3. Transfer RNA (tRNA) transports an amino acid to the ribosomal site and recognizes the mRNA codons. Page Ref: 106 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 6) Discuss the two main phases that occur during protein synthesis. Answer: 1. Transcription (DNA-directed synthesis of mRNA)–one strand of DNA acts as a template for the synthesis of the complementary mRNA molecule, and there is a transfer of information from the DNA's base sequence into the complementary base sequence of mRNA (codon). 2. Translation (RNA-directed synthesis of a polypeptide or protein) involves five steps. First, mRNA leaves the nucleus and attaches to ribosomes. Second, tRNA (anticodon) transports an amino acid to the mRNA strand and recognizes an mRNA molecule (codon). Third, the codon and the anticodon bind. Fourth, the ribosome moves the mRNA strand along as each codon is read sequentially. Finally, as each amino acid is bound to the next by a polypeptide bond, its tRNA is released. The polypeptide or protein chain is released when the termination (stop) codon is read. Page Ref: 106-107 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 7) Discuss the four stages of mitosis. Answer: 1. Prophase–chromatin threads coil and shorten so that visible bar-like bodies, called chromosomes, appear. Each chromosome is made up of two strands called chromatids, which are held together by a centromere. Additionally, the centrioles separate and move toward opposite sides of the cell, directing the assembly of the mitotic spindle (composed of microtubules) between them as they move. 2. Metaphase–the chromosomes cluster and align in the center of the spindle, midway between the centrioles, forming a straight line of chromosomes. 3. Anaphase–the centromeres split and the chromosomes move slowly apart toward opposite ends of the cell. A cleavage furrow begins to form over the midline of the spindle, pinching the cytoplasmic mass into two parts as the start of a process called cytokinesis. 4. Telophase–the chromosomes reach opposite ends of the cell and their movement ends, and they then uncoil and become chromatin again. A nuclear membrane then forms around each chromatin mass, the spindle breaks down and disappears, and nucleoli reappear in each of the daughter nuclei. Finally, cytokinesis produces two separate daughter cells. Page Ref: 104-105 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding

8) A fat-soluble vitamin, vitamin A, is moving down its concentration gradient into a cell. What type of membrane transport is responsible for its movement? Describe this process. Answer: Vitamin A is moving via simple diffusion, a type of passive transport. Passive transport requires no energy input from the cell. Vitamin A is moving from an area where it is more concentrated to an area where it is less concentrated. This vitamin is moving without assistance through the plasma membrane. Page Ref: 97 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 9) Some chemotherapy drugs used to treat cancer, such as vincristine, interfere with the creation of mitotic spindle fibers of a cell. Explain how this drug affects mitosis. Answer: The mitotic spindle is formed during prophase by centrioles. This spindle guides the movement of chromosomes later as mitosis progresses. By late prophase, the spindle has attached to the centromere of each chromosome. Without the creation of the spindle fibers, chromosomes cannot successfully be separated as mitosis progresses through anaphase. Page Ref: 104-105 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 10) Sports injuries may cause the separation of a ligament from the bone, torn cartilage, or a broken bone. Given your knowledge of these connective tissues, which will regenerate the quickest? Answer: Connective tissues have variations in blood supply. Dense connective tissues, such as tendons and ligaments, have a poor blood supply. Cartilages are avascular. As a result, these tissues will be slow to heal. By contrast, bone is a connective that regenerates well. Page Ref: 113-114, 122 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 11) Describe the classification and naming scheme for epithelial tissues. Answer: Epithelial tissues are named based on two features: the number of cell layers and the predominant cell shape. If the epithelial tissue has one layer, it is called a simple tissue. Two or more layers qualify the tissue as stratified. Cells can be flat in shape (squamous), cube-shaped (cuboidal), or brick-shaped (columnar). The viewer should look toward the apical surface for the most mature cells in the tissue for the cell shape. When naming the epithelial tissue, place the number of cell layers first (such as simple) followed by the cell shape (such as squamous). Page Ref: 109 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding

12) Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can cause changes in our DNA. As a result of long-term sun exposure, a portion of a gene sequence is changed. Evaluate the impact this change could potentially have on protein synthesis. Answer: Protein synthesis involves two major phases–transcription and translation. Transcription occurs when complementary mRNA is made using information in the DNA gene while the information coded in mRNA is translated from nucleic acids to proteins during translation. During transcription, this gene will be rewritten into mRNA codons. Since the gene sequence has changed, the incorrect codons may be transcribed. During translation of this mRNA strand, tRNA will deliver an amino acid that binds its anticodon. Recall that amino acids are the building blocks for proteins (Chapter 2). Since the gene sequence has changed, this coding error has the potential to ultimately change the protein's structure. Page Ref: 106, 123 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating 13) Mr. James has been admitted to the hospital with swollen legs due to his chronic heart condition. Based on your knowledge of membrane transport, advise the type of fluids that should be administered to reduce swelling. Answer: Mr. James should receive a hypertonic intravenous solution. Hypertonic solutions contain more solutes, or dissolved substances, than there are inside cells. Hypertonic solutions can be given to patients who have edema (swelling due to fluid retention). These solutions draw water out of the tissue spaces and into the bloodstream. (The kidneys will eliminate the excess fluids in urine.) Page Ref: 99 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating 14) During lab, a student struggles to differentiate between microscope slides of stratified squamous epithelium and dense regular connective tissue. Recommend some differences and ways for her to discriminate between these two tissue slides. Answer: Stratified squamous epithelium has the hallmark features of epithelial tissue that make it instantly recognizable: it has an apical surface and basement membrane. Its many cell layers fit closely together to form continuous sheets. The cells at the apical surface are flattened squamous cells while those near the basement membrane are cuboidal or columnar in shape. By contrast, dense regular connective tissue is recognizable for its plentiful parallel collagen fibers and rows of fibroblasts. Connective tissues lack an apical surface and basement membrane, so that feature immediately differentiates these two tissue types. Page Ref: 110, 113, 114 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating

Essay Questions

1) Explain the ABCDE rule. Answer: The ABCDE rule describes the appearance of the most serious form of skin cancer, melanoma. The "A" is for asymmetry. In melanoma, the two sides of the pigmented spot or mole do not match. The "B" is for border irregularity. In melanoma, the borders of the lesion are not smooth but exhibit indentations. The "C" is for color. In melanoma, the pigmented spot contains areas of different colors (blacks, browns, tans, and sometimes blues and reds). The "D" is for diameter. In melanoma, the spot is larger than 6 mm in diameter (the size of a pencil eraser). The "E" stands for evolution. One or more of these characteristics is evolving, or changing. Page Ref: 145 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 2) Distinguish between the locations and secretions of apocrine and eccrine sweat glands. Answer: Eccrine sweat glands are more numerous than apocrine sweat glands; they are found all over the body. Eccrine sweat glands function in body temperature regulation. When we are too hot, eccrine sweat glands release sweat containing water, salts, vitamin C, and metabolic wastes on to the body's surface. Upon its evaporation, we are cooled down. The ducts of apocrine sweat glands empty into hair follicles in the axillary and genital areas. Apocrine sweat glands activate at puberty and produce sweat almost continuously, but their overall function is not known. Apocrine sweat is milky or yellowish in color due to fatty acids and proteins in the secretions. Page Ref: 138-139 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 3) Explain how the skin helps regulate body temperature. Answer: The dermis is abundantly supplied with blood vessels that play a role in maintaining body temperature homeostasis. When body temperature is high, the capillaries of the dermis become engorged, or swollen, with heated blood, and the skin becomes reddened and warm. This allows body heat to radiate from the skin surface. If the environment is cool and body heat must be conserved, blood bypasses the dermis capillaries temporarily, allowing internal body temperature to remain high. Page Ref: 136 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 4) Explain how the skin functions to protect deeper tissues from microbe damage. Answer: The skin forms an unbroken surface and an "acid mantle." Skin secretions are acidic and thus inhibit microbes, such as bacteria. Phagocytes ingest foreign substances and pathogens, preventing them from penetrating into deeper body tissues.

5) Identify four changes that occur to the skin and subcutaneous connective tissue as a result of aging, and state how these changes can be delayed. Answer: 1. The amount of subcutaneous tissue below the skin decreases, leading to an intolerance to cold in the elderly. 2. Because of decreased oil production and declining numbers of collagen fibers, the skin becomes drier and may become itchy and bothersome. 3. Thinning of the skin makes it more susceptible to bruising and other types of injuries. 4. A decrease in elasticity of the skin, along with the loss of subcutaneous fat, allows bags to form under the eyes and causes jowls to sag. There is no way to avoid aging skin, but good nutrition, plenty of fluids, and cleanliness help delay the process. Page Ref: 148 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 6) List and describe the three types of epithelial membranes. Answer: 1. Cutaneous membrane is: a. skin b. dry c. composed of keratinizing stratified squamous epithelium and the underlying connective tissue is often dense and fibrous. 2. Mucous membrane: a. is moist b. is found lining all body cavities that open to the exterior c. often contains stratified squamous epithelium or simple columnar epithelium 3. Serous membrane: a. is composed of two layers (visceral layer covers the organ in the cavity while the parietal layer lines a specific portion of the wall of the ventral body cavity) b. covers organs in body cavities that are closed to the exterior c. is constructed of simple squamous epithelium overlying a thin layer of areolar connective tissue Page Ref: 129 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 7) Differentiate among the roles of melanocytes and keratinocytes. Where in the skin are these cells located? Answer: Melanocytes are located in the stratum basale of the epidermis. These cells produce a pigment, melanin, upon exposure to the sun. Melanin functions to protect the dermis from damage due to UV radiation. Keratinocytes form most of the cells of the epidermis; they produce a water-resistant, tough protein called keratin.

8) Julia works in a walk-in clinic where several patients arrive with sunburns. How should she distinguish the first-degree and second-degree burns from one another? Answer: Although both first-degree and second-degree burns produce red and painful skin and are partial thickness burns, only the second-degree burns produce blisters. Page Ref: 143 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 9) Ehlers Danlos syndrome is an inheritable condition in which collagen production is greatly reduced. People with this condition have an incredible range of joint movement and have soft, stretchy skin. Hypothesize how a collagen deficiency would impact the skin. Answer: Recall from Chapter 3 that collagen fibers are distinguished from other fiber types by their high tensile strength. Collagen fibers are found in the connective tissues in the dermis of the skin and are responsible for the toughness of the dermis. Collagen fibers in the dermis also attract water and help maintain hydration for the skin. In skin that has little collagen, the dermis would lose its toughness, sag, and be more susceptible to tears. Page Ref: 135-136 Bloom's: 6: Creating 10) In the burn clinic, a nurse is assigned to assist new patients. Patient 1 has sunburn with blisters. Patient 2 has blackened, charred skin due to a backyard fire that raged out of control; he received burns to over 12% of his body. Patient 3 has red, swollen skin due to a hot water burn. Rank these patients in order of priority from most severe burn to least. Answer: Patient 2 has the most severe burn of the three patients. The blackened skin is indicative of a third-degree burn. This burn is a full thickness burn, which extends through the epidermis and dermis. Since this patient was burned over 12% of his body surface as a third-degree burn, it is also considered a critical burn. Skin grafting must be done on this type of patient because regeneration is not possible. Patient 1 has a second-degree burn. Second-degree burns impact the epidermis and superficial dermis. The presence of blisters differentiates this burn from a first-degree burn. The least severe burn was experienced by patient 3. Red, inflamed skin is characteristic of a first-degree burn. This type of burn impacts only the superficial epidermis. First-degree burns are not usually serious and generally heal in about two to three days. Page Ref: 143 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating

Essay Questions

1) Explain the five functions of the skeletal system. Answer: 1. Support—the skeletal system forms the body's internal structural framework. The bones of the legs act as pillars to support the body trunk when we stand, and the rib cage supports the thoracic wall. 2. Movement—the skeletal muscles, attached to bones by tendons, use the bones as levers to move the body and its parts. 3. Protection—bones, such as the skull, thorax, and pelvis, protect the enclosed soft body organs. 4. Storage—fat is stored in the internal cavities of bones. Bones also serve as a storehouse for minerals, the most important being calcium and phosphorus. 5. Blood cell formation—hematopoiesis occurs within the red marrow of certain bones. Page Ref: 153 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 2) Differentiate between the roles the organic matrix and calcium salts play in giving bone strength yet flexibility. Answer: The organic matrix of bone, especially collagen fibers, provides bone's flexibility and great tensile strength (ability to stretch without breaking). The calcium salts give bone its hardness, which resists compression. Page Ref: 157 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 3) List and explain the steps in the repair process of a simple fracture. Answer: Step 1 is hematoma formation. A hematoma, or blood-filled swelling, forms when bone breaks and blood vessels rupture. Bone cells are deprived of nutrition and die. Step 2 is fibrocartilage callus formation. The site of damage experiences growth of new capillaries into the clotted blood and disposal of dead tissue by phagocytes. Connective tissue cells of various types form a mass of repair tissue called fibrocartilage callus. This fibrocartilage callus contains several elements: some cartilage matrix, some bony matrix, and collagen fibers. This fibrocartilage callus acts to splint the broken bone, closing the gap. Step 3 is bony callus formation. As more osteoblasts and osteoclasts migrate into the area and multiply, fibrocartilage is gradually replaced by a callus of spongy bone (the bony callus). Step 4 is bone remodeling. Over the next few months, bony callus is remodeled in response to the mechanical stresses placed on it, so that it forms a strong, permanent patch at the fracture site.

4) Explain how the anatomy of compact bone differs from that of spongy bone. Answer: Compact bone is composed of osteons (Haversian systems). Concentric rings of matrix, called lamellae, are situated around a central (Haversian) canal. The rings and central canal constitute an osteon, or a Haversian system. Other canals, called canaliculi, spread outward from central canals to connect to lacunae, which house osteocytes. Under a microscope, you can see that spongy bone is composed of small needlelike pieces of bone called trabeculae and lots of "open" space filled by marrow, blood vessels, and nerves. Page Ref: 157 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 5) Explain how bones are remodeled in response to low blood calcium ion levels. Answer: When blood calcium ion levels fall too low, parathyroid hormone (PTH) activates bone-destroying cells called osteoclasts to break down the bone's matrix and release the stored calcium into the blood.

What is an epiphyseal plate, and why is it significant to this situation? Answer: The epiphyseal plate is a flat plate of hyaline cartilage seen in young growing bone. Epiphyseal plates cause the lengthwise growth of long bone. Since this child is still growing and has not completed puberty, she may expect impaired growth in that one epiphyseal plate. Lucky for Sarah, there is an epiphyseal plate located at both the distal and proximal ends of the femur. The healthy distal plate can continue to grow.

8) Maria observes a patient in her clinic with a spinal curvature abnormality. She notices the patient's spine curves laterally from the midline. Determine the abnormality she observed and explain how she differentiated it from the other two types of spinal abnormalities. Answer: Maria observed a patient with scoliosis in which the spinal strays laterally from the midline. Lordosis, or sway back, results in lumbar curvature exaggerated in the ventral (anterior) direction. Kyphosis produces a humped back due to a thoracic curvature exaggerated in the dorsal (posterior) direction. Page Ref: 171-172 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 9) Explain how atlas and axis are different from other vertebrae. Discuss the roles they play in the body. Answer: 1. Unlike all other vertebrae, atlas (C1) has no body. Axis (C2) has a large process called the dens, which is not seen on any other vertebrae. 2. The structural differences of these two vertebrae allow you to rotate your head from side to side to indicate "no." The joint between these two vertebrae is a pivot joint. Page Ref: 172-173 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 10) Differentiate among the three types of joints based on structural and functional classifications. Provide examples of each type of joint. Answer: 1. Synarthroses are immovable joints. These joints are structurally classified as fibrous joints since the bones are united by fibrous tissue. Skull sutures are one example of a fibrous joint. 2. Amphiarthroses are slightly movable joints. These joints are structurally classified as cartilaginous joints since the bone ends are connected by cartilage. The pubic symphysis and intervertebral joints are two examples. 3. Diathroses are freely movable joints. These joints are structurally classified as synovial joints since the articulating bone ends are separated by a joint cavity containing synovial fluid. There are many examples of synovial joints, including the elbow, knee, and shoulder. Page Ref: 185 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 11) Osteogenesis imperfecta, or "brittle bone disease," can result from insufficient production of collagen fibers. Why is collagen integral to bone structure? Predict the impact of this disease on bone tissue. Answer: The organic parts of bone (especially the collagen fibers) provide for bone's flexibility and great tensile strength (ability to be stretched without breaking). Bone with inadequate amounts of collagen fibers will be less flexible, weaker and have a decreased ability to stretch without breaking. (That leads us to appreciate why this disease is called brittle bone disease.) Page Ref: 157 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating

12) An old wives' tale for pregnant and new mothers is gain a child and lose a tooth. In other words, a woman may lose a tooth for each pregnancy or for each child she is breast feeding. Suppose there is truth to this old saying given the fact that a fetus or child may use calcium stored in the mother's teeth or bones to build his or her own skeleton. Supply an argument that supports this tale. Answer: If calcium is leached from the bones and teeth of the mother to allow calcium to be placed either in the fetal skeleton or in breast milk, then it could be possible that a tooth could be lost during pregnancy or in the post-natal period. Bone remodeling may be performed in response to changes in calcium ion levels in the blood. When the blood calcium ion level drops below its homeostatic level, the parathyroid glands (located in the throat) are stimulated to release parathyroid hormone (PTH) into the blood. PTH activates osteoclasts, giant bone-destroying cells in bones, to break down bone matrix and release calcium ions into the blood. Page Ref: 160 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating 13) In this chapter, you read about osteoarthritis. Evaluate the structure of a synovial joint and determine the component(s) that would primarily be affected by this degenerative condition. Answer: Synovial joints have four distinguishing features: articular cartilage, articular capsule, a joint cavity, and reinforcing ligaments. The most affected part of the joint would be the articular cartilage for the role it plays in the joint. Articular cartilage is made (in most cases) of hyaline cartilage. This cartilage covers the ends of bones forming the joint and provides a smooth surface that decreases friction at the joint when covered by lubricating fluid.

Essay Questions

1) You have no labels on your muscle tissue slides in laboratory. Explain the characteristics that allow you to distinguish among skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle tissue. Answer: Although cells in both skeletal muscle tissue and cardiac muscle tissue are striated, look for intercalated discs and branched cells in the cardiac muscle cells to distinguish between these two tissues. Furthermore, skeletal muscle cells are multinucleate while cardiac muscle cells are uninucleate. Cells in smooth muscle tissue lack striations, making it easy to distinguish from skeletal and cardiac muscle tissues. Like the cells in cardiac muscle tissue, smooth muscle cells are uninucleate. However, smooth muscle tissue cells do not branch nor do they possess intercalated discs. Page Ref: 200-202 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 2) Describe the events that occur from the time that a motor neuron releases acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction until muscle cell contraction occurs. Answer: Acetylcholine (ACh) is released from the axon terminals of a motor neuron, which diffuses across the synaptic cleft and attaches to receptors in the sarcolemma. ACh binds and opens channels that allow the simultaneous passage of sodium ions into the muscle fiber and potassium ions out of the muscle fiber. Since more sodium ions enter the muscle fiber than potassium ions leave, a local area of depolarization develops. As more channels that only allow sodium entry open, an action potential is initiated and sweeps over the entire sarcolemma. Calcium ions are released from storage areas inside the sarcoplasmic reticulum of the muscle cell. They attach to the myofilaments, which along with available ATP, trigger the sliding of the myofilaments and causes a muscle cell contraction. Page Ref: 205-208 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 3) Explain what meaning is inferred in the muscle name rectus femoris. Answer: The term, rectus, means straight. The fibers in this muscle run straight along a plane. The reference to the femur bone is relayed in femoris. Together, these terms tell us the muscle fibers of rectus femoris travel "straight along the femur bone." Page Ref: 220 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding

4) Describe where and how dorsiflexion and plantar flexion occur. Which muscle is the prime mover of plantar flexion, and which muscle do you think is its antagonist? Answer: Dorsiflexion and plantar flexion are special actions occurring at the ankle joint. Dorsiflexion is accomplished by lifting your foot so that its superior surface moves toward the shin while plantar flexion is accomplished by depressing the foot (pointing the toes or "planting" the toes toward the ground). Gastrocnemius is the prime mover of plantar flexion; tibialis anterior antagonizes the action of gastrocnemius since it performs dorsiflexion. Page Ref: 218, 230-231 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 5) Discuss the role of the myosin heads in sliding filament theory. Answer: The myosin heads attach to binding sites on the actin filaments to form cross bridges and to begin the process of sliding. The myosin heads swivel toward the center of the sarcomere, attaching and detaching several times, which generates tension that helps pull the thin filaments toward the center of the sarcomere. This "walking" of the myosin heads along the thin filaments allows the thin filaments to slide past the thick filaments. As a result, the Z discs are pulled closer together. Since this event occurs simultaneously in sarcomeres throughout the cell, the muscle cell shortens. Page Ref: 205, 208 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 6) Fascicle arrangements produce skeletal muscles with different structures and functional properties, and determine their individual range of motion and power. List the seven different fascicle arrangements of human skeletal muscles and give a specific example of each. Answer: 1. Circular–orbicularis oris, orbicularis oculi 2. Convergent–pectoralis major 3. Parallel–sartorius 4. Unipennate–extensor digitorum longus 5. Multipennate–deltoid 6. Fusiform–biceps brachii 7. Bipennate–rectus femoris Page Ref: 220 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 7) Discuss the importance of calcium ions in skeletal muscle contraction. Answer: Calcium ions are necessary for myosin heads to attach to binding sites on actin filaments. As the action potential travels into the muscle cell, it stimulates the sarcoplasmic reticulum surrounding each myofibril to release its stored calcium ions into the sarcoplasm. The calcium ions trigger the binding of myosin heads to actin filaments and the initiation of the sliding of filaments. Page Ref: 205-207 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding

8) Explain how isometric and isotonic contractions differ, using examples of each. Answer: 1. Isometric contractions are contractions in which the muscles do not shorten. The myofilaments are trying to slide, but the muscle is pitted against some more or less immovable object. For example, when you push the palms of your hands together in front of you, your arm and chest muscles are contracting isometrically. 2. Isotonic contractions occur due to the successful sliding of the myofilaments. The muscle shortens and movement occurs. Bending the knee, lifting weights, and smiling are all examples of isotonic contractions. Page Ref: 213-214 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 9) Bell's palsy has caused the right side of Nathan's face to droop. He is unable to smile, and he has difficulty closing his eye on the right side of his face. Determine the muscles impacted by Bell's palsy. Answer: The zygomaticus and orbicularis oculi muscles are affected. Zygomaticus is responsible for raising the corners of the mouth and is often referred to as the "smiling" muscle. Orbicularis oculi allows the eye to be closed. Page Ref: 221-222 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 10) Explain how muscle movements mature in a baby, using examples of each. Answer: 1. Muscle development proceeds in a superior/inferior direction. For instance, babies can raise their heads before they sit up, and they can sit up before they can walk. 2. Muscle control proceeds in a proximal/distal direction. For instance, babies can perform gross movements like wave "bye-bye" before they can use the pincer grasp to pick up a pin. Page Ref: 231, 236 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 11) On a lab exam, you are given a slide of muscle tissue to identify. How would you evaluate this tissue to determine if it is cardiac muscle tissue or smooth muscle tissue? Answer: To differentiate between these two tissue types, look for features that are unique to each tissue type. Cardiac muscle tissue is characterized by branching cells with striations and intercalated discs. It is uninucleate, but so are the cells of smooth muscle tissue. By contrast, smooth muscle tissue is characterized by single, fusiform cells that lack striations. Page Ref: 200, 202 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating

12) A patient needs a medication to dilate his pupils and relax specific muscles in his eyes. Should he receive drug A, which acts by increasing the release of acetylcholine from synaptic vesicles? Or, should he receive drug B, which acts by increasing the action of acetylcholinesterase? Assess these drugs, and discuss your selection. Answer: To dilate the pupils and relax certain eye muscles, select drug B. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that can promote an action potential in a muscle cell while acetylcholinesterase is an enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine to prevent continued contraction of the muscle fiber in the absence of additional nerve impulses. Drug B will prevent continued contraction of muscles and promote relaxation while drug A will increase the opportunity for an action potential to occur. Page Ref: 206, 208 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating 13) A patient is being examined for physical therapy because he has a hamstring injury. How should this muscle group be evaluated to determine it has healed? Answer: The hamstring group is located on the posterior thigh and consists of the biceps femoris, semimembranosus, and semitendinosus muscles. These muscles are the prime movers of thigh extension and knee flexion. When being examined, this patient should be able to perform those muscle actions to satisfaction.

Essay Questions

1) List and explain the three general functions of the nervous system. Answer: 1. Sensory (input) function—the nervous system uses millions of sensory receptors to monitor changes (stimuli) inside and outside the body; the gathered information is called the sensory function. 2. Integrative function—the nervous system processes and interprets sensory input and makes decisions about what should be done and the magnitude to which it should be done at each moment. 3. Motor (output) function—the process of reaction to stimuli; the body responds by activating muscles that can produce motion or stimulating glands that can produce and secrete hormones. Page Ref: 242-243 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 2) Explain how the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system differ structurally. Answer: Structurally, the central and peripheral nervous systems include different parts. The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) includes all parts of the nervous system outside of the CNS. It consists mainly of the nerves that extend from the spinal cord and brain called spinal nerves and cranial nerves. Page Ref: 244 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 3) Explain the difference between a polarized neuron and a depolarized neuron. Answer: A neuron is polarized when there are more positively charged ions located on the outer surface of the membrane and less positively charged ions situated on the inner surface of the membrane. A neuron is at rest when it is polarized. Depolarization occurs when the sodium ions normally located outside the neuron's membrane rush into the cell. Now, the interior surface of the membrane carries a positive charge due to the presence of more positively charged ions while the exterior surface of the membrane carries a negative charge due to the smaller number of positively charged ions. Page Ref: 251, 253 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 4) The family of Mr. Sanchez has learned that his cerebrovascular accident (CVA, or stroke) impaired his ability to move the right side of his body. They were told the CVA involved the primary somatic sensory area in the right cerebral hemisphere. Did they receive correct information? Explain. Answer: Mr. Sanchez's family received two incorrect pieces of information. First, if Mr. Sanchez cannot move the right side of his body, the left cerebral hemisphere is responsible for controlling that movement. The motor pathway crosses to the opposite hemisphere of the brain. Second, the primary motor area provides conscious motor control of skeletal muscles. By contrast, the primary somatic sensory area receives information from the body's sensory receptors.

to the side of the road with his heart pounding. Which division of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is taking control right now? What other symptoms do you think he's experiencing? Answer: The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system is controlling Sam. In addition to his pounding heart, he is also likely experiencing deep breathing; cold, sweaty skin; a prickly scalp; and dilated pupils of his eyes. Page Ref: 283-284 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 6) Explain how the signs of a contusion differ from those of a concussion. Answer: A brain contusion results from marked tissue destruction. If the cerebral cortex is injured, the individual may remain conscious, but severe brain stem contusions always result in a coma lasting from hours to a lifetime due to damage to the reticular activating system. By contrast, a concussion occurs when the brain injury is slight. The victim may be dizzy, "see stars," or lose consciousness briefly. Typically, little permanent damage occurs. Page Ref: 269 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 7) List and describe the protective structures found in the CNS. Answer: 1. The brain and spinal cord are protected by a bony skull and a bony vertebral column. 2. There are three layers of membranes (meninges) covering the structures in the CNS. a. The outermost dura mater surrounds the brain. This double-layered membrane is a leathery covering. b. The middle membrane layer is the arachnoid mater, which has a cobweb appearance. c. The pia mater is the innermost layer, which clings to the surface of the brain and spinal cord. 3. Cerebrospinal fluid forms a water cushion that circulates in and around the brain and spinal cord. The CSF protects the CNS from blows and other trauma. Also, remember from a previous chapter that water has a high heat capacity that prevents changes in temperature. Page Ref: 264 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 8) Compare and contrast the functions of the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. Answer: Both the somatic and autonomic nervous systems are subdivisions of the motor (efferent) division of the peripheral nervous system. The somatic nervous system, or voluntary nervous system, allows us to consciously, or voluntarily, control our skeletal muscles. The autonomic nervous system, or involuntary nervous system, regulates activity of smooth and cardiac muscles and glands. Page Ref: 281 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing

9) Sam was hit in the head with a baseball. While his eyes are being examined with a penlight, his nurse notices one of his pupils is constricted while the other pupil dilates in response to light. Determine which cranial nerve pair has been damaged. Answer: Cranial nerve III is the oculomotor nerve. The damage to Sam's brain has affected this pair of cranial nerves, which are purely motor and control pupil size. During testing, pupils are examined for size, shape, and size equality; pupillary reflex is tested with a penlight (pupils should constrict when illuminated). Page Ref: 275 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating 10) Mr. Reeves continues to experience digestive system functions despite having a spinal cord injury at C6 that prevents the spinal cord from communicating with the brain. Deduce how digestive system functions can continue. Answer: All cranial nerves serve the head and neck with the exception of the vagus nerve pairs. The vagus nerves extend to the thoracic and abdominal cavities. Most motor fibers of the vagus nerves are parasympathetic fibers that promote digestive activity and help regulate heart activity. Even with damage to the spinal cord, the vagus nerves will remain intact and be able to continue promoting digestive system function. Page Ref: 274, 276 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating 11) A boating accident caused damage to Stan's spinal cord, specifically to the ventral horns. Interpret the impact. Answer: The ventral horns of the gray matter contain cell bodies of motor neurons of the somatic (voluntary) nervous system, which send their axons out the ventral root of the spinal cord. The dorsal and ventral roots fuse to form the spinal nerves. The spinal nerve(s) affected by this damage will not be able to carry out motor functions, and Stan will not be able to move those parts.

Essay Questions

1) Describe the pathway of light through the eyeball and the process of light refraction. Answer: Light travels through the cornea, aqueous humor, lens, and vitreous humor before being focused on the retina during normal vision. Refraction by the cornea and humors is constant, whereas the lens changes its shape to be either more or less convex as needed. The greater the convexity, the more light is bent. Page Ref: 303 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 2) Explain how the function of rods and cones differ. Answer: Rods and cones are photoreceptor cells because they respond to light. Rods allow us to see gray tones in dim light, and they provide our peripheral vision. By contrast, cones allow us to see color under bright light conditions. Three varieties of cones are sensitive to particular wavelengths of visible light. Page Ref: 299 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 3) Describe the role of the lens in vision. Name and explain the disease caused by the loss of lens transparency as well as the age-related disease caused by the loss of lens elasticity. Answer: 1. The lens is the only structure in the eye that can change shape to refract light. The lens becomes more or less convex in order to properly focus light on the retina. 2. Cataracts are caused when the lens becomes increasingly hard and opaque. Vision becomes hazy and distorted, and blindness can occur in the affected eye. 3. Presbyopia makes it difficult to focus for close vision; it is basically farsightedness. This condition develops after age 40 and is the reason older people hold reading materials at arm's length to be able to see the words. Page Ref: 302, 318 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 4) Describe the pathway of sound waves that result in the sensation of hearing. Answer: Sound waves enter the pinna and are transmitted down the external acoustic canal until they hit the tympanic membrane and cause it to vibrate. Vibration of the tympanic membrane then causes the ossicles of the middle ear to vibrate, which in turn presses on the oval window of the inner ear. Vibration of the oval window sets the fluids of the inner ear in motion. Movement of the cochlear fluids then stimulates the hair cells of the spiral organ of Corti, which in turn transmit impulses along the cochlear nerve to the auditory cortex in the temporal lobe, where interpretation of sound occurs.

5) Explain static and dynamic equilibrium and their interrelationships. Answer: Static equilibrium is regulated by the maculae of the vestibule. The maculae report on the position of the head with respect to the pull of gravity when the body is at rest. Each macula is a patch of receptor cells embedded in the otolithic membrane. The otolithic membrane contains otoliths, which roll in response to changes in the pull of gravity. This movement causes the hair cells of the membrane to bend, sending impulses along the vestibular nerve to the cerebellum, relating information regarding the position of the head in space. Dynamic equilibrium is regulated by the semicircular canals. The crista ampullaris of the membranous semicircular canal consists of a tuft of hair cells and their gelatinous cap called the cupula. Movement of the head causes the cupula to move in the opposite direction, stimulating the hair cells, which then transmit impulses up the vestibular nerve to the cerebellum. Static and dynamic equilibrium work together to provide information to the cerebellum to help control balance. Page Ref: 311-312 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 6) Your elderly neighbor wears hearing aids. Without them, he can't hear you knocking on his door. Do you think he wears the hearing aids for sensorineural deafness or conduction deafness? Explain your choice and differentiate between the causes of these two types of deafness. Answer: The neighbor likely has conduction deafness, a condition for which hearing aids is helpful. Conduction deafness results when something interferes with the transmission of sound to the inner ear structures, such as earwax buildup or fusion of the ossicles. Sensorineural deafness results from degeneration or damage to the spiral organ of Corti, the cochlear nerve, or the neurons of the auditory cortex. In other words, the hearing aids assist with helping those hear who have mechanical problems with their ear structures (conduction deafness) rather than those with nervous system problems (sensorineural deafness). Page Ref: 314 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 7) Identify the five basic taste receptors, and describe what each type of receptor detects. Answer: 1. Sweet receptors respond to sugars, saccharine, some amino acids, and some lead salts. 2. Sour receptors respond to acidic solutions (those with a high concentration of hydrogen ions) such as lemons, oranges, and tomatoes. 3. Bitter receptors respond to alkaloids. 4. Salty receptors respond to metal ions in solution. 5. Umami receptors respond to a specific amino acid, glutamate, found in proteins. Page Ref: 316-317 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding

8) A 46-year-old patient arrives for an eye exam complaining of difficulty reading and also difficulty seeing traffic signs down the road when he drives. Assess his complaints and determine what eye condition(s) he has. Answer: This patient has both myopia and presbyopia. Myopic eyes are too long and the focal point is created in front of the retina. Nearby objects are in focus, however, because the lens "accommodates" (bulges) to focus the image properly on the retina. Correction requires concave corrective lenses that diverge the light rays before they enter the eye, so that they converge farther back, on the retinal surface. Presbyopia begins to set in around age 40, the result of decreasing lens elasticity. This condition makes it difficult to focus for close vision; it is basically farsightedness. Page Ref: 305-306, 318 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating 9) Elderly Mr. Jimenez is very hard of hearing. His daughter suggested him to try a pair of hearing aids, but they did not improve his hearing. Evaluate this information to determine the type of deafness he likely has. Answer: Mr. Jimenez likely has sensorineural deafness. Sensorineural deafness occurs when there is degeneration or damage to the receptor cells in the spiral organ of Corti, to the cochlear nerve, or to neurons of the auditory cortex. Hearing aids, which use skull bones to conduct sound vibrations to the inner ear, are generally very successful in helping people with conduction deafness to hear. They are not helpful for sensorineural deafness. Page Ref: 314 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating 10) Sjorgren's syndrome causes less saliva production than normal. Which of the senses is most affected and why? Support your answer with an explanation. Answer: The sense of taste could be affected in those with Sjorgren's syndrome. Receptors for taste and olfaction are classified as chemoreceptors because they respond to chemicals in solution (in this case, saliva). The specific receptor cells that respond to chemicals dissolved in the saliva are epithelial cells called gustatory cells. Their long microvilli–the gustatory hairs–protrude through the taste pore; and when they are stimulated, they depolarize, and impulses are transmitted to the brain.

Essay Questions

1) Explain the composition of the two major chemical classifications of hormones. Answer: Hormones are chemical substances released by endocrine cells. Hormones can be classified as amino acid-based molecules or as steroids. The amino acid-based molecules include proteins, peptides, and amines. The steroid hormones are made from cholesterol. Page Ref: 325 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 2) Describe the three types of stimuli that activate the endocrine organs. Answer: The stimuli that activate endocrine glands fall into three major categories: hormonal, humoral, and neural. The most common stimulus is hormonal, in which endocrine organs are prodded into action by other hormones, known as tropic hormones. Changing blood levels of certain ions and nutrients stimulate hormone release; these stimuli are referred to as humoral stimuli. The third type of stimulus is neural, in which nerve fibers stimulate hormone release. Page Ref: 327-328 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 3) Explain the pituitary-hypothalamus relationship. Answer: Hormones from the anterior pituitary are released in response to releasing and inhibiting hormones produced by the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus releases these hormones into the blood of the portal circulation, which connects the blood supply of the hypothalamus with that of the anterior pituitary. Hormones released from the posterior pituitary are made in the hypothalamus by hypothalamic neurons. Those hormones, oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone (ADH), are then stored in the posterior pituitary until their release is necessary. Page Ref: 329 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 4) Discuss the role of hormones in maintaining blood calcium levels. Answer: Parathyroid hormone (PTH), produced by the parathyroid glands, is the most important regulator of blood calcium levels. PTH is a hypercalcemic hormone, meaning that it is secreted in response to low blood calcium levels. PTH stimulates osteoclasts to destroy bone matrix and release the calcium into the blood, raising blood calcium levels. PTH also targets the intestine and kidneys to absorb calcium. PTH works opposite to calcitonin, whose job is to lower blood calcium levels through deposition to bones. Page Ref: 334, 335 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding

5) Explain the effects of the catecholamines on the body during the fight-or-flight response, and how these effects help us deal with short-term stress. Answer: When you feel threatened physically or emotionally, your sympathetic nervous system brings about the "fight-or-flight" response to help you cope with the stressful situation. In response, the adrenal medulla pumps hormones known as catecholamines into the bloodstream to increase heart rate, blood pressure, and the blood glucose level, and dilate the small passageways of the lungs. These events result in more oxygen and glucose in the blood and a faster circulation of blood to the body organs. Page Ref: 339-341 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 6) Four-year-old Tim is extremely small for his age, and he shows signs of intellectual impairment. His hair is thinning and his skin is dry. His parents have read about cretinism and pituitary dwarfism as possible diagnoses for their son and have taken him to the pediatrician for tests to be run. Which diagnosis do you think is correct? Explain why. Answer: The likely diagnosis is cretinism. Hyposecretion of the thyroid hormone in early childhood leads to cretinism. Cretinism results in dwarfism and intellectual impairment. Cretinism also causes the hair to be scanty and the skin to be dry. It is unlikely Tim suffers from pituitary dwarfism. Pituitary dwarfism results from hyposecretion of growth hormone in children, but does not cause the other symptoms listed. Page Ref: 331, 334 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 7) Jamie is dehydrated from playing a rough game of football on a hot summer afternoon. Explain why beer, an alcoholic drink, is not a good choice of beverage considering what you know about antidiuretic hormone (ADH). Answer: Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) prevents urine production and promotes water retention by the kidneys. However, alcoholic beverages inhibit ADH secretion and result in a large output of urine. Jamie is already dehydrated and the alcoholic drink will only further enhance that dehydration. Page Ref: 330 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 8) Some people take medications to lower their blood pressure known as ACE inhibitors (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors). These medications prevent the formation of angiotensin II. Explain why these medications are effective. Answer: When blood pressure is low, the kidneys release an enzyme called renin. Renin, in turn, triggers the production of angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is a potent stimulator of aldosterone release. Aldosterone targets the kidney and promotes sodium reabsorption by the tubule cells of the kidney; water follows and is also reabsorbed when aldosterone is present in the kidney. The increased blood volume, due to water reabsorption, leads to increased blood pressure. When a person takes a medication such as an ACE inhibitor, this mechanism is shut off and blood pressure remains low (and that's the goal). Page Ref: 337-338 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding

9) Summarize the three cardinal signs of diabetes mellitus. Answer: Diabetes mellitus is characterized by polyuria, polyphagia, and polydipsia. Polyuria flushes out glucose while polydipsia is excessive thirst resulting from water lost in the urine. Polyphagia is the hunger due to the inability to use sugars and the loss of fat and proteins from the body. Type I diabetes results from the hyposecretion of insulin and causes glucose to be lost in the urine. In contrast, an individual with type II diabetes releases insulin, but their insulin receptors are unable to respond to it. Page Ref: 341 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 10) Molly presents with frequent urination and thirst as her two primary symptoms. She's often dehydrated and develops a headache, too. How would you further evaluate her to confirm which form of diabetes she has? Answer: In one form of diabetes known as diabetes mellitus, blood glucose levels rise and excess sugar spills into the urine due to a lack of insulin. An accompanying symptom of this form of diabetes is polyphagia due to the body's inability to use sugar and the loss of fats and proteins from the body. Another form of diabetes known as diabetes insipidus, which involves hyposecretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), does not share the polyphagia symptom with diabetes mellitus. Investigate Molly's blood for glucose and ADH levels to give more insight into which type of diabetes she may have. Page Ref: 330, 341 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating 11) A 65-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes mellitus has been prescribed glucocorticoids to reduce inflammation related to her arthritis. Her doctor explains the cautions for long-term use of this medication. Evaluate how the new medication will impact her blood glucose levels and interact with her existing condition. For which additional disease does the use of these glucocorticoids place her at risk? Answer: Glucocorticoids such as cortisone and cortisol help the body to resist long-term stressors, primarily by increasing the blood glucose level. When blood levels of glucocorticoids are high, fats and even proteins are broken down by body cells and converted to glucose, which is released to the blood. For this reason, glucocorticoids are said to be hyperglycemic hormones. This woman already has diabetes mellitus; in combination with this medication, her blood glucose levels can rise dramatically. Cushing's syndrome can occur if the patient has been receiving pharmacological doses (amounts higher than those released in the body) of glucocorticoids to counteract inflammatory disease. Excessive glucocorticoids result in a swollen "moon face" and the appearance of a "buffalo hump" of fat on the upper back. Other common and undesirable effects of Cushing's syndrome include high blood pressure, hyperglycemia (steroid diabetes), weakening of the bones (as protein is withdrawn to be converted to glucose), and severe depression of the immune system.

12) Manuel has been taking a prescribed dose of thyroxine for years due to a diagnosis of hypothyroidism. Recently, his pituitary gland was removed. Advise him on how the surgical removal of his pituitary gland will impact his future use of thyroxine supplements. Answer: The pituitary gland makes and releases thyrotropic hormone (TH), also called thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). This hormone influences the growth and activity of the thyroid gland. Without the pituitary gland producing this stimulating hormone, his thyroid gland will now produce no thyroxine. Therefore, it will be necessary for Manuel to continue taking his thyroxine medication. Page Ref: 332, 333 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating

Essay Questions

1) Summarize the composition of blood plasma. Answer: Blood plasma is approximately 90 percent water and forms the liquid part of blood. Examples of some of the many substances dissolved in plasma are nutrients, salts (electrolytes), respiratory gases, hormones, plasma proteins, and various wastes and products of cell metabolism. Page Ref: 354 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 2) Discuss why Martina, who has blood type A, cannot receive blood type B during a transfusion. Answer: Martina has the antigen for A on her red blood cells. During infancy, her body built anti-B antibodies since she lacked that antigen in her blood. If she receives a transfusion of blood type B, her body will already have the anti-B antibodies in place. Agglutination will occur as the anti-B antibodies bind and clump to the foreign B antigen. The red blood cells will undergo hemolysis, hemoglobin will be released into the blood stream, and these events would lead to a transfusion reaction. Page Ref: 366, 368 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 3) How would you visually differentiate granulocytes from agranulocytes when viewing them through a microscope? Answer: WBCs are classified into two major groups–granulocytes and agranulocytes–depending on whether or not they contain visible granules (when stained) in their cytoplasm. Granulocytes are granule-containing WBCs, named for the granules visible in their cytoplasm when stained with Wright's stain. They have lobed nuclei, which typically consist of several rounded nuclear areas connected by thin strands of nuclear material. The second group of WBCs, agranulocytes, lack visible cytoplasmic granules when stained. Their nuclei are closer to the norm–that is, they are spherical, oval, or kidney-shaped. Page Ref: 358-360 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 4) Describe the three phases of the normal blood-clotting process. Answer: Hemostasis involves three major phases. The first phase is the vascular spasm phase, in which serotonin released by the platelets causes the blood vessels to spasm and constrict, thus, decreasing blood loss. The second phase is the platelet plug formation, in which platelets become "sticky" and cling to the site of injury. The third phase is coagulation wherein thromboplastin interacts with PF3 (platelet factor 3) and calcium, as well as other blood proteins, to form an activator that leads to the formation of thrombin. Thrombin joins with fibrinogen to form fibrin, the basis of the clot. Page Ref: 363 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding

5) Which situation do you predict to prompt the release of more erythropoietin into the blood: anemia or polycythemia? Explain. Answer: Any decline in the level of oxygen in the blood prompts the kidneys to release more erythropoietin into the blood. Erythropoietin targets the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells. Anemia is a decrease in the blood's ability to transport oxygen for any reason while polycythemia is an excessive or abnormal increase in the number of red blood cells. Therefore, anemia would prompt the release of more erythropoietin so that the blood could transport more oxygen. In fact, polycythemia would likely inhibit erythropoietin production by the kidneys. Page Ref: 357, 361 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 6) Describe the antigens associated with the blood types of the ABO blood group. Answer: Blood groups are based on the presence or absence of specific surface antigens. The ABO blood group is based on which of two antigens, type A or type B, a person may inherit. Blood type A has type A antigens, blood type B has type B antigens, while blood type AB has both type A and type B antigens, and blood group O lacks both type A and type B antigens. Page Ref: 365, 368 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 7) Explain agglutination as it relates to blood groups. Answer: Antigens are surface proteins found on all cells including blood cells. In the case of blood groups, an individual's blood type reflects the presence or absence of specific antigens. An antigen-antibody response is initiated if the individual receives a transfusion of blood containing antigens that it identifies as being "foreign." Antibodies found in a person's blood bind to the foreign antigen, causing agglutination, or clumping. The antigen-antibody complexes clog the small blood vessels, and the foreign RBCs are lysed, releasing hemoglobin into the bloodstream. The most serious complication of a transfusion reaction is kidney failure due to blockage of the kidney tubules by the hemoglobin molecules. Page Ref: 365, 367-368 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 8) Mrs. Litaker was concerned because her baby was born with yellow skin. Name and explain this condition to her. Answer: This condition is known as physiologic jaundice, and it arises because fetal red blood cells are destroyed at a rate faster than the newborn's liver can rid the body of the hemoglobin breakdown products in bile. This form of jaundice typically causes no major problems. Page Ref: 368 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing

9) The production rate of new blood cells can slow when a person takes chemotherapy medications to fight cancer. Interpret why a person taking chemotherapy medications may be more at risk for infections. Answer: If white blood cell populations are replaced at a rate slower than normal, neutrophil populations may decrease. Neutrophils are avid phagocytes at sites of short-term or acute infection. During infection, the number of neutrophils should normally increase rapidly. However, chemotherapy medications can decrease the populations of neutrophils and increase the risk for infection. Page Ref: 358-360 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating 10) An athlete is using injections of erythropoietin (EPO) for competitive sports. A friend thinks his use of EPO may result in some type of blood disorder. Which is he more likely to develop– anemia or polycythemia? Defend your choice. Answer: Injections that supply additional erythropoietin will target the bone marrow, prodding it into "high gear" to turn out more RBCs. An excessive or abnormal increase in the number of erythrocytes is polycythemia. Anemia would be an unlikely result due to the excess presence of EPO in the body. Page Ref: 357, 361-362 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating 11) Ms. Moore arrives in the emergency department hemorrhaging blood and in need of an immediate transfusion. She has blood type AB and will receive blood type A during a transfusion. Evaluate this transfusion for compatibility. Answer: Since she is blood type AB, Ms. Moore carries both the A and B antigens on her RBCs. She has no antibodies against the blood types in the ABO blood group. Blood type A carries the A antigen only (but it does carry anti-B antibodies). In terms of antigen compatibility, Ms. Moore should be able to receive the donation of blood type A. Also, note that blood type AB is considered the "universal recipient," able to receive blood from types A, B, AB, and O. Page Ref: 365-366, 368 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating

Essay Questions

1) Trace the path of a drop of blood, starting at the right atrium and returning to the right atrium, through the pulmonary and systemic circuits of the cardiovascular system. Identify the chambers, valves, and vessels (except specific systemic blood vessels that are not directly associated with the heart), and indicate whether the blood is oxygen-rich or oxygen-poor in each area. Answer: Oxygen-poor blood in the right atrium, oxygen-poor blood through the tricuspid valve, oxygen-poor blood in the right ventricle, oxygen-poor blood through the pulmonary semilunar valve, oxygen-poor blood in the pulmonary trunk, oxygen-poor blood in the right and left pulmonary arteries, oxygen-poor blood in the pulmonary capillaries in the lungs, oxygen-rich blood in the pulmonary veins, oxygen-rich blood in the left atrium, oxygen-rich blood through the bicuspid (mitral) valve, oxygen-rich blood in the left ventricle, oxygen-rich blood through the aortic semilunar valve, oxygen-rich blood in the aorta, oxygen-rich blood in the systemic arteries, oxygen-rich blood in the systemic arterioles, oxygen-rich blood in the systemic capillaries, oxygen-poor blood in the systemic venules, oxygen-poor blood in the systemic veins, oxygen-poor blood in the superior and inferior vena cavae and the coronary sinus, oxygen-poor blood in the right atrium. Page Ref: 375-378 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 2) Contrast the role of the sinoatrial (SA) node with that of the atrioventricular (AV) node as parts of the intrinsic conduction system (nodal system). Answer: The sinoatrial (SA) node is located in the right atrium of the heart. Since it starts the heartbeat and sets the pace for the whole heart, it is often called the pacemaker. The impulse from the SA node spreads through the atrial walls to the atrioventricular (AV) node, and then the atria contract. By contrast, the AV node pauses after it receives the impulse from the SA node to give the atria time to finish contracting. The nerve impulse then passes through the remainder of the intrinsic conduction system and serves to promote ventricular contraction. Page Ref: 382 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 3) Amanda is exercising and noticed her heart rate has nearly doubled from her resting heart rate of 68 beats per minute. Explain how her increased heart rate will impact cardiac output. Answer: Cardiac output (CO) is the product of the heart rate (HR) and the stroke volume (SV). When heart rate increases, as is the case for Amanda since she is exercising, the cardiac output will also increase. Exercise is a physical factor that leads to this increase.

4) Describe how arteries, capillaries, and veins are structurally different. Answer: Arterial walls are thicker, heavier, stronger, and stretchy enough to handle expansion and recoil as blood under high pressure is transported. Veins have thinner walls; these vessels operate under low or even negative pressure. The lumens of veins are larger than those of corresponding arteries. Veins also have valves to prevent the backflow of blood. Capillaries are composed of only the tunica intima and are only one cell layer thick. Page Ref: 388-389 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 5) Explain what is meant by a blood pressure reading of 120/80 mm Hg. Answer: Blood pressure is reported in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) with the higher systolic pressure (120 mm Hg) written first. The pressure reading of 120/80 translates to a systolic pressure of 120 mm Hg and a diastolic pressure of 80 mm Hg. Systolic pressure is the pressure in the arteries at the peak of ventricular contraction while diastolic pressure is the pressure in the arteries when the ventricles are relaxing. Page Ref: 399 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 6) Name two shunts that bypass the lungs in a fetus. Briefly explain the structures these shunts connect. Answer: 1. The foramen ovale is a flap-like opening between the right atrium and the left atrium of the fetal heart. Some of the blood entering the right atrium flows directly into the left atrium, bypassing pulmonary circulation. 2. The ductus arteriosus is a vessel connecting the pulmonary trunk and the aorta. Blood that happens to enter the right ventricle is pumped into the pulmonary trunk, supposedly on its way to the lungs. However, that blood is transported from the pulmonary trunk through ductus arteriosus into the aorta. Page Ref: 406 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 7) Describe the two types of pressures controlling fluid movement in a capillary bed. Explain the role of each pressure in fluid movement. Answer: Blood pressure forces fluids and solutes out of capillaries while osmotic pressure pulls fluid back into capillaries. Osmotic pressure is created by plasma proteins in the blood. At the arterial end of the capillary, blood pressure is higher than osmotic pressure, so fluids and solutes are pushed out of the capillary and into the interstitial space. As fluid is forced out of the capillary, blood pressure drops. Therefore, at the venous end of the capillary, osmotic pressure is higher than blood pressure so fluid is pulled back into the capillary from the interstitial space at the venous end.

8) Joann has aortic valve stenosis. Will her condition primarily affect pulmonary circulation or systemic circulation? Support your selection with an explanation. Answer: In valvular stenosis, the valve cusps become stiff, often because of repeated bacterial infection of the endocardium (endocarditis). This forces the heart to contract more vigorously than normal to create enough pressure to drive blood through the narrowed valve. Since the aortic semilunar valve is the affected valve, systemic circulation will mainly be affected. This circulation is a blood flow pathway from the left ventricle of the heart, to the body, and back to the right atrium. Page Ref: 377, 380 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating 9) Alcohol inhibits the secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) from the posterior pituitary. Evaluate the impact of alcohol on cardiac output. Answer: Recall that antidiuretic hormone (ADH) promotes water retention from forming urine. Since alcohol inhibits the secretion of ADH, more water will be lost in the urine and less water will be reabsorbed back into the blood. Cardiac output is the amount of blood pumped out by each ventricle of the heart in one minute. As a result of the presence of alcohol in one's blood, cardiac output will decrease. Page Ref: 385 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating 10) Hypovolemic shock can result from severe dehydration when both water and salt are lost from the blood. In this situation, blood loss leads to loss of cardiac output and a loss of blood pressure. Will the parasympathetic division or the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system respond to correct low blood pressure? Defend your selection. Answer: When blood pressure is low, the sympathetic nervous system responds by strongly stimulating the SA and AV nodes and the cardiac muscle itself. As a result, the heartbeats more rapidly and stroke volume increases. When stroke volume increases, so will cardiac output and blood pressure. Page Ref: 385-387, 399 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating

Essay Questions

1) Explain the origin and pathway of lymph. Answer: Lymph fluid arises from blood plasma that has been forced out of the capillary beds by osmotic and hydrostatic pressures. The fluid left behind is called interstitial fluid. The interstitial fluid is then picked up by lymph capillaries, after which it is called lymph. Lymph is routed up the lymphatic vessels until it is finally returned to the venous system through either the right lymphatic duct or the thoracic duct. Page Ref: 415-416 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 2) Mona had some axillary lymph nodes and lymphatic vessels removed from her left arm during a recent surgery. Determine why she experiences edema (swelling) in that arm. Answer: The function of lymphatic vessels is to pick up excess interstitial fluid and return it to the blood. Excess tissue fluid can accumulate in tissues if not picked up by lymphatic vessels, producing edema (swelling). Lymph from the left arm should ultimately be returned to the thoracic duct and into the left subclavian vein before being returned to the heart. If lymphatic vessels have been removed from Mona's left arm, the mechanism of picking up and returning escaped fluids to the blood has become impaired. Page Ref: 416-418 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 3) Explain how the innate and adaptive immune systems differ in their responses to foreign substances. Answer: The innate immune system is the system we have when we're born. This system includes the skin and mucous membranes, the inflammatory response, and proteins already present in our cells. This system is the first one to come into contact with a foreign substance and thus is always prepared to defend the body. Therefore, we think of the innate system as the nonspecific body defense and the first line of defense to protection from invaders. The adaptive immune system is the second line of defense, which defends us from specific invaders. This system consists of molecules like pyrogens and immune cells such as lymphocytes and macrophages. This system differs from the innate system since it must be exposed to the invader before it can form a response. Page Ref: 419-420 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 4) Identify the four most common indicators and major symptoms of an acute inflammatory response, and explain their origins. Answer: The four most common indicators of the inflammatory response are redness, heat, swelling, and pain. Redness and heat are a result of dilation of blood vessels that increase blood flow to the injured area. Swelling occurs when increased permeability of the capillaries allows plasma to leak from the bloodstream into the tissue spaces. The excess fluid, or edema, triggers the activation of pain receptors in the area, accounting for the pain associated with an injury. Page Ref: 422-424 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding

5) Differentiate how antibodies perform precipitation and agglutination to inactivate antigens. Answer: Antibodies can inactivate antigens through both precipitation and agglutination. When antibodies bind antigens, such as those of a foreign blood type, they can form antibody-antigen complexes that can be cross-linked into large lattices. This process of clumping foreign cells is called agglutination. However, when the cross-linking involves soluble antigenic molecules that become insoluble and settle out of solution, precipitation has occurred. Both agglutinated and precipitated molecules can be captured by phagocytes more easily. Page Ref: 435, 436 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 6) Contrast the primary humoral response with the secondary humoral response. Answer: The primary humoral response occurs during the first encounter with an antigen. An antigen binds to a specific receptor on a specific B cell. The activated B cells proliferate to form a clone. While most of the B cell clone members become plasma cells that will secrete antibody molecules, B cells that do not become plasma cells will become memory cells. Memory cells exist for years and are capable of responding to the same antigen at a later meeting (immunological memory). Secondary humoral responses are the later immune responses that are faster, more prolonged, and more effective than the primary humoral response because preparations for this attack have already been made. Page Ref: 431-432 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 7) Let's suppose scientists have discovered a new disease that arises when antigen-presenting cells (APCs) are not made by the body. How do you think our immune response will be impacted? Answer: Antigen-presenting cells (APCs) engulf an antigen and present part of it on the membrane in combination with one of the APCs' own glycoproteins. T cells require the presentation of the antigen for activation and clonal selection. Without the presentation of antigens by APCs, the immune process would be severely impaired. T cell clone classes provide for cell-mediated immunity and include helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells, regulatory T cells, and memory cells. Page Ref: 430 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 8) Audrey's mom smokes cigarettes that can damage and eventually destroy the cilia in the passageways of the lungs. Convince her that stopping smoking will benefit her cilia and respiratory mucous membranes. Answer: Intact mucous membranes are part of the immune system's first line of defense. The cilia benefit us by sweeping dust- and bacteria-laden mucus (think "sticky trap") superiorly toward the mouth, preventing it from entering the lungs, where the warm, moist environment provides ideal conditions for bacterial growth. Damaged or destroyed cilia place Audrey's mom at a higher risk of infection. Without an adequate mechanism for the removal of mucus in the lungs, our bodies must rely on the second and third lines of defense. Page Ref: 420-422 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating

9) People with severe burns may need skin grafts. A patient is presented with an option to receive skin from elsewhere on his body, which will also require time to heal, or he can receive skin from a donor. Judge these two sources and discuss the advantages or disadvantages. Which option would you recommend? Answer: Autografts are tissue grafts transplanted from one site to another in the same person while allografts are tissue grafts taken from a person other than an identical twin. Autografts are ideal donors while a tissue transplant from another person would require blood typing and tissue antigen matching. The disadvantage of an autograft is that the transplanted site will also need time to heal. An allograft would run the risk of rejection from the work of cytotoxic T cells. Given the risk for rejection with an allograft, an autograft may be a better choice simply based on acceptance by the immune system. Page Ref: 437, 442 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating 10) An acquaintance is hesitant about getting a COVID-19 vaccine. Persuade him of the benefits of vaccination. Answer: We receive two benefits from vaccines: (1) they spare us most of the signs and symptoms (and discomfort) of the disease that would otherwise occur during the primary response, and (2) the weakened antigens are still able to stimulate antibody production and promote immunological memory. Upon exposure to this virus, a secondary humoral response will occur. These responses are produced much faster, are more prolonged, and are more effective than the events of the primary response because all the preparations for this attack have already been made.

Essay Questions

1) Explain the roles of mucus and cilia in the respiratory system. Answer: Respiratory mucosa lines the nasal cavity and produces sticky mucus. This mucus moistens the air and traps incoming bacteria and other foreign debris entering the nasal cavity. The ciliated cells of the nasal mucosa move this contaminated mucus posteriorly toward the pharynx where it can be swallowed. The trachea is also lined with ciliated mucosa. These cilia move contaminated mucus toward the throat where it either can be swallowed or spat out. Page Ref: 455, 456, 458 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 2) Explain the contributions of the paranasal sinuses. Answer: The paranasal sinuses lighten the skull and provide resonance chambers for speech. They also produce mucus, which drains into the nasal cavities. Page Ref: 456 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 3) What structures does a molecule of oxygen encounter on its way to the alveoli of the lungs from the nose? Trace the pathway. Answer: Air first encounters the nose by entering through the nares. It travels by the nasal conchae of the nasal cavity, then to the nasopharynx, oropharynx, and laryngopharynx. The next structure, the larynx, routes air into the lower respiratory passageways and food into the posterior tube, the esophagus. Air travels through the glottis into the windpipe, or trachea, into each main (primary) bronchus and into the smaller branches, finally reaching the smallest passageways known as bronchioles. The terminal bronchioles end in alveoli, small air sacs, where gas exchange is occurring. Page Ref: 455-462 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 4) Identify the two pleural membranes, and describe them under normal and disease conditions. Answer: The pleural membranes, the visceral pleura and the parietal pleura, produce a slippery serous secretion that allows the lungs to glide easily over the thorax wall during breathing. This serous fluid causes the two pleural layers to cling together. They can slide easily from side to side across one another, but they cannot easily be pulled apart. As surface tension of water holds them tightly to each other, the lungs are held tightly to the thorax wall. The pleural space is more of a potential space than an actual space, and it is only during illness or injury that this space becomes apparent, such as with a pneumothorax that can lead to atelectasis. Pleurisy, inflammation of the pleurae, can be caused by insufficient secretion of pleural fluid or by excess amounts of fluid. Page Ref: 459, 461, 466 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding

31 Copyright © 2022 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved.


5) Explain the structure and function of the respiratory membrane. Answer: The respiratory membrane, also known as the air-blood barrier, is comprised of the fused basement membranes of the alveolar and pulmonary capillary walls. The respiratory membrane has gas flowing past on one side and blood flowing past on the other. Gas exchanges occur by simple diffusion through the respiratory membrane. Oxygen passes from the alveolar air into the capillary blood, and carbon dioxide leaves the blood to enter the gas-filled alveoli. Page Ref: 462 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 6) Describe the changes in pressure and volume that lead to inspiration. Answer: The diaphragm and external intercostal muscles contract upon stimulation by the phrenic and intercostal nerves. In doing so, the intrapulmonary volume (volume inside the lungs) increases. Gases within the lungs spread out to fill the larger space, decreasing the intrapulmonary pressure. Air follows the pressure gradient into the body until intrapulmonary pressure equals atmospheric pressure, and inspiration (inhalation) occurs. Air rushes into the lungs. Page Ref: 463-465 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 7) Describe how oxygen and carbon dioxide are transported in the blood. Answer: Oxygen is transported in two ways: 1. Most oxygen attaches to hemoglobin molecules on the RBCs to form oxyhemoglobin. 2. A small amount of oxygen dissolves in the plasma for transport. Carbon dioxide is also transported in two ways: 1. Most carbon dioxide is transported in the plasma as the bicarbonate ion. 2. A small amount of carbon dioxide is carried inside the RBCs bound to hemoglobin (bound to a different site from oxygen). Page Ref: 468, 469 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 8) Five-year-old Charlie is angry he can't continue to play, so he holds his breath. His carbon dioxide levels continue to climb and his parents are concerned what will happen to him. Predict how the respiratory system handles the rising carbon dioxide levels. Answer: As carbon dioxide levels increase, the pH of the blood decreases becoming more acidic. The respiratory centers in the brain stimulate the inspiratory muscles to contract and increase the breathing rate. Hyperventilation produces breathing that is deeper and more rapid than eupnea (normal breathing) and removes more carbonic acid from the blood. Carbon dioxide is the primary stimulus for breathing; oxygen becomes an important stimulus when levels become dangerously low. Page Ref: 471-472 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing

9) Mr. Miles has a pneumothorax associated with his left lung. Evaluate its impact on his vital capacity. Answer: A pneumothorax is air in the intrapleural space between the parietal and visceral pleura. It pushes on the lung, disrupting the fluid bond between the pleurae. In some cases, a pneumothorax can cause lung collapse (atelectasis). Since the pneumothorax pushes on the lung, it can reduce the vital capacity of the affected lung. Vital capacity is the sum of the inspiratory reserve volume (IRV), expiratory reserve volume (ERV), and tidal volume (TV). Page Ref: 466 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating 10) Andre has sickle cell anemia (SCA) (recall this form of anemia from Chapter 10). Assess his risk for hypoxia. Answer: Recall from Chapter 10 that in sickle cell anemia (SCA), the body does not form normal hemoglobin. Most oxygen transported in the blood attaches to hemoglobin molecules inside the red blood cells (RBCs) and forms oxyhemoglobin. Inadequate oxygen delivery to body tissues is called hypoxia and can be caused by anemia, such as sickle cell anemia. If Andre's red blood cells are unable to transport adequate levels of oxygen, he will be at a higher risk for hypoxia. Page Ref: 357, 468, 469 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating 11) Julisa is running up several flights of stairs because she is late for her class. Carbon dioxide levels build in her blood; her blood pH begins to drop. Will she hyperventilate or hypoventilate to restore her blood pH and carbon dioxide levels to normal? Defend your answer with an explanation. Answer: An increase in the carbon dioxide levels of the blood can cause a decreased blood pH. High CO2 results in more carbonic acid, which lowers blood pH. As carbon dioxide or other sources of acids begin to accumulate in the blood and tissues, and blood pH starts to drop, Julisa will begin to breathe more deeply and more rapidly (hyperventilation). Hyperventilation is an increase in the rate and depth of breathing that will elevate her blood pH back to normal through the removal of carbonic acid, and in turn, carbon dioxide from the blood.

Essay Questions

1) Describe the four layers of the GI tract. Answer: 1. Mucosa is the moist innermost layer; it lines the cavity of the organ. The mucosa consists primarily of a surface epithelium mostly composed of simple columnar epithelium, a small amount of connective tissue (lamina propria), and a scanty smooth muscle layer. 2. The submucosa is found just beneath the mucosa layer. It contains blood vessels, nerve endings, mucosa-associated lymphatic tissue (MALT), and lymphatic vessels. 3. The muscularis externa is the next layer, which is typically made up of a circular and a longitudinal layer of smooth muscle. 4. The outermost layer is the serosa, which consists of two single layers of cells. The innermost serosa is the visceral peritoneum. The outermost layer is the parietal peritoneum, which lines the abdominal cavity by way of a membrane extension called the mesentery. Between these layers is serous fluid. Page Ref: 485-486 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 2) Predict the effect on digestion if the pancreas is unable to make and release pancreatic juices. Answer: Pancreatic juices are rich in both enzymes and bicarbonate ions. Without the enzyme-rich pancreatic juice, starch digestion will be incomplete, about half of protein digestion will not occur, nearly all of fat digestion will cease, and nucleic acid digestion will not occur. Bicarbonate-rich pancreatic juice helps neutralize the acidic chyme entering the small intestine from the stomach. Without the alkaline environment in the small intestine, enzymatic activity would not occur. Page Ref: 503 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 3) Discuss why an acidic pH is necessary for the stomach's activities to be accomplished. Answer: Hydrochloric acid makes the stomach contents acidic. Acid is necessary for the activation of protein-digesting enzymes. Pepsin is the active protein-digesting enzyme that begins protein digestion in the stomach and is converted from pepsinogen when the stomach pH is acidic. Without the acidic environment, about half of the process of protein digestion would not be able to occur. Page Ref: 489, 500 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding

4) Explain the role of the hormones cholecystokinin (CCK) and secretin in regulating the release of bile and pancreatic juices. Answer: When chyme enters the small intestine, it stimulates the mucosa cells to produce the hormones cholecystokinin (CCK) and secretin. These hormones travel in the bloodstream to their target organs: the pancreas, liver, and gallbladder. The pancreas responds to cholecystokinin (CCK) by releasing enzyme-rich pancreatic juice and secretin causes the secretion of bicarbonate-rich pancreatic juice. The liver responds to secretin by releasing bile while cholecystokinin (CCK) stimulates the gallbladder to release stored bile. Bile and pancreatic juices enter the small intestine together through the hepatopancreatic ampulla. Page Ref: 489, 503, 504 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 5) What is the difference between the basal metabolic rate (BMR) and the total metabolic rate (TMR)? Which one should dieters focus on for weight loss? Answer: Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the amount of heat produced by the body at rest based on the amount of energy, or kilocalories, needed to operate per hour. Essential life operations include breathing, heartbeat, kidney functions, etc. Total metabolic rate (TMR) is the total amount of kilocalories needed for the body to perform all of the ongoing activities. Muscular activity increases TMR. Dieters should focus on the TMR and reduce the kilocalorie intake by 20 percent or more to induce weight loss. Page Ref: 517-518 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 6) Discuss the process of cellular respiration by which body cells generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Answer: Cellular respiration includes all of the oxygen-dependent processes by which energy from the breakdown of glucose is captured within chemical bonds, which unite adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate into the body's preferred energy molecule, adenosine triphosphate (ATP). One process, glycolysis, energizes each glucose molecule so that it can be split into two pyruvic acid molecules to yield ATP. The citric acid cycle, located within the mitochondria, produces all the carbon dioxide and water that results during cellular respiration, and it yields a small amount of ATP as well. The electron transport chain, also located within the mitochondria, is the primary producer of ATP. Hydrogen atoms removed during glycolysis and the citric acid cycle are delivered to the protein carriers of the electron transport chain, which form part of the mitochondrial cristae membranes. There the hydrogen atoms are split into their positive ions and negative electrons. The electrons then travel from carrier to carrier in a series of steps that enable phosphate to attach to ADP to form ATP. Page Ref: 510-512 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding

7) Describe how these chemical reactions assist with blood sugar homeostasis: gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis, and glycogenesis. Answer: Gluconeogenesis is a reaction in which the liver uses noncarbohydrate sources (such as fats and proteins) to produce glucose. Glycogenolysis is a reaction in which the liver breaks down stored glycogen and turns it into glucose. Both of these reactions response to hormones that are meant to raise blood sugar levels. Glycogenesis is a reaction in which the liver turns excess glucose in the blood into a large polysaccharide called glycogen. This type of reaction removes glucose from the blood and lowers blood sugar levels. Page Ref: 515 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 8) Some medications can cause bleeding in the stomach and irritation of the stomach lining. Which tissue layer, or tunic, is most impacted? Support your answer with an explanation. Answer: The mucosa is the innermost layer, a moist mucous membrane that lines the hollow cavity, or lumen, of the digestive organ. The mucosa of the stomach is a simple columnar epithelium composed entirely of mucous cells. They produce a protective layer of bicarbonate-rich alkaline mucus that clings to the stomach mucosa and protects the stomach wall from being damaged by acid or digestive enzymes. If bleeding occurs, it proves that the submucosa layer is also involved, because unlike the submucosa, the mucosa is comprised of epithelial tissue, which is avascular. Page Ref: 485, 488-489 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating 9) Diverticula are formed when the diet lacks bulk and the circular muscles of the digestive tract contract more powerfully to propel feces during a reflex. In diverticulosis, the mucosa protrudes through the walls of the tract. Would this condition be more commonly found in the small intestine or the large intestine? Support your answer with an explanation. Answer: Diverticulosis is associated with the large intestine since the propulsion of feces only occurs in this organ. Once the defecation reflex is initiated, a bowel movement may be produced, if convenient. Page Ref: 505 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating 10) People with diabetes mellitus are often encouraged to select appropriate foods to eat to reduce the impact on their blood glucose homeostasis. Which specific food groups–monosaccharides, disaccharides, or polysaccharides–should be eaten in limited amounts by a diabetic who has difficulty regulating blood glucose levels? Answer: A diabetic aiming to maintain blood glucose levels should avoid a meal rich in monosaccharides (simple sugars). While glucose is the fuel used to provide ATP for the body, the liver helps maintain the blood glucose level within the normal range. After a carbohydrate-rich meal, glucose molecules are removed from the blood and combined to form large polysaccharide molecules called glycogen, which are then stored in the liver (glycogenesis). Recall from Chapter 9 that the hormone insulin is vitally important in reducing blood glucose levels but that hormone is hyposecreted in cases of diabetes mellitus.

Essay Questions

1) Discuss the significance of normal blood pressure for filtrate formation to occur in the glomerulus. What conditions can result if glomerular blood pressure is too low to form filtrate? Answer: Glomerular filtration is a process in which fluid passes from the blood into the glomerular capsule part of the renal tubule. Fluid captured by the glomerular capsule is called filtrate; it is essentially blood plasma without blood proteins. As long as the systemic blood pressure is normal, filtrate will be formed. If arterial blood pressure drops too low, glomerular pressure becomes inadequate to force substances out of the blood into the tubules, and filtrate formation stops. If glomerular blood pressure is too low, an abnormally low urinary output can result. The condition is called oliguria if urinary output is between 100 and 400 ml/day, and anuria if urinary output it is less than 100 ml/day. Page Ref: 538, 539 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 2) Describe the normal characteristics of freshly voided urine in a healthy adult. Answer: Urine is a pale, straw-colored liquid that progressively becomes a darker yellow color as it becomes more concentrated. The yellow color is a result of the presence of urochrome pigment, a by-product of hemoglobin breakdown. Urine is more concentrated than water with a specific gravity that ranges from 1.001 at its most dilute to l.035 at its most concentrated. Urine is sterile and slightly aromatic, but if allowed to stand, it develops an ammonia odor. Urine often has an acidic pH of around 6 but can be either acidic or basic depending on metabolism or diet. Urine normally contains water, sodium and potassium ions, urea, uric acid, creatinine, ammonia, and bicarbonate ions, as well as other ions that the body needs to dispose. Page Ref: 541 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 3) Trace the pathway of a red blood cell through the kidney from the renal artery to the renal vein. Answer: Red blood cells are not filtered by the glomerulus since they are too large to pass through the filtration membrane. Instead, red blood cells travel through the renal artery, segmental artery, interlobar artery, arcuate artery, cortical radiate artery, afferent arteriole, glomerulus, and on to the efferent arteriole. Then, the red blood cell continues its travels to the peritubular capillaries and exits the kidney via the cortical radiate vein, arcuate vein, interlobar vein, and the renal vein. Page Ref: 535-536 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing 4) A patient is with back pain and a severe headache is diagnosed with pyuria. Explain this diagnosis and provide a possible explanation for it. Answer: Pyuria is pus (white blood cells and bacteria) in the urine. Pus is an abnormal urinary constituent. A urinary tract infection is a possible cause. Urinary tract infections (UTI) can cause symptoms of dysuria (painful urination), urinary urgency and frequency, fever, and sometimes cloudy or blood-tinged urine. When the kidneys are involved, back pain and a severe headache are common. Many types of bacteria may invade the urinary tract to cause urethritis, cystitis, or pyelonephritis. Page Ref: 541, 542, 544 Bloom's: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing Copyright © 2022 Pearson Education, Ltd. All Rights Reserved.


5) Explain the renin-angiotensin mechanism as a method to maintain blood pressure homeostasis. Answer: The renin-angiotensin mechanism is the most important trigger for the release of aldosterone. It is mediated by the juxtaglomerular (JG) apparatus of the renal tubules. The JG apparatus consists of modified smooth muscle cells that are stimulated by low blood pressure within the afferent arteriole or changes in solute content of the filtrate. The JG cells respond to these changes by releasing renin into the blood. Renin catalyzes reactions that lead to angiotensin II production, which then acts directly on the blood vessels to cause vasoconstriction as well as aldosterone release. Aldosterone then causes the reabsorption of sodium and water, leading to increased blood volume and blood pressure. Page Ref: 549, 550, 551 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 6) Describe how the bicarbonate buffer system functions to maintain pH. Answer: The bicarbonate buffer system utilizes carbonic acid and its salt, sodium bicarbonate. When blood is too acidic, the bicarbonate ions of the salt act as a base and tie up more hydrogen ions. Thus, more carbonic acid is formed. A strong acid is changed to a weak acid, which has less of an effect on pH. Under alkaline conditions, carbonic acid releases more hydrogen ions to bind with the hydroxide ions released by the strong base. A strong base is changed to a weak base, which has less of an effect on pH. Page Ref: 552 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 7) As an LPN starts her shift, she is advised to measure the urine output of one of her patients. Evaluate the urine output if this patient produces 350 ml of urine over a 24-hour period. Answer: In 24 hours, 1.0 to 1.8 liters of urine will be produced by the average person. An abnormally low urinary output is called oliguria if it is between 100 and 400 ml/day, and anuria if it is less than 100 ml/day. Low urinary output usually indicates that glomerular blood pressure is too low to cause filtration. Page Ref: 539, 541 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating 8) Shakira was dehydrated from excessive sweating on a hot summer day. In response to the water loss, antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is present in her kidneys. Evaluate and discuss the impact on urine output. Answer: Water filtered by the glomerulus will travel into the renal tubule where it may be reabsorbed. Since ADH is present, its main target is the kidney's collecting ducts, where it causes the duct cells to reabsorb more water. As more water is returned to the bloodstream, blood volume and blood pressure increase to normal levels, and only a small amount of concentrated urine is formed. When ADH is present in the kidneys, urine output decreases. Page Ref: 535-538, 549 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating

9) Evaluate this urine sample: 275 ml, light yellow, cloudy, presence of sodium ions, bicarbonate ions, and white blood cells, pH 7.2. Identify and provide an explanation for any abnormal constituents or characteristics. Answer: The abnormal characteristics of this urine are the presence of white blood cells and cloudy urine. These abnormal constituents indicate a urinary tract infection (UTI). Pyuria occurs when white blood cells are present in the urine. Symptoms of urinary tract infection (UTI) include dysuria (painful urination), urinary urgency and frequency, fever, and sometimes cloudy or blood-tinged urine. When the kidneys are involved, back pain and a severe headache are common. Page Ref: 541, 542, 544 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating

Essay Questions

1) Trace the pathway of sperm from their production to their exit from the body during ejaculation. Answer: Sperm are formed in the seminiferous tubules of the testes. Sperm are matured in the epididymis where they gain the ability to swim. During ejaculation, peristaltic waves squeeze sperm from the epididymis to the ductus deferens. The ductus deferens enters the pelvic cavity and travels to the posterior side of the urinary bladder where it empties into an ejaculatory duct. Each ejaculatory duct travels through the prostate to merge with the urethra. Ejaculation carries the sperm through the prostatic urethra, membranous urethra, and spongy (penile) urethra to exit the body. Page Ref: 563-565 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 2) Describe the effects of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) on the testes. Answer: Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) prods the seminiferous tubules of the testes to produce sperm. Luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulates the interstitial cells of the testes secrete testosterone. Testosterone enhances spermatogenesis, the process of making sperm. Page Ref: 569, 570 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 3) Describe the process of spermatogenesis. Answer: Spermatogenesis is sperm production that begins during puberty and continues throughout life. The process is begun by primitive stem cells called spermatogonia. From birth until puberty, spermatogonia undergo mitotic division to increase the number of stem cells. During puberty, FSH causes each division of spermatogonium into one stem cell (type A cell) and one type B cell that becomes a primary spermatocyte. The primary spermatocytes then undergo meiosis to secondary spermatocytes, which then form four spermatids. The spermatids streamline and a tail is formed during spermiogenesis, after which they are mature enough to fertilize an ovum and are called sperm. Page Ref: 567-568 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding 4) Secondary oocytes stall in meiosis II at the time of ovulation. Why is it critical for a secondary oocyte to complete meiosis II if fertilization occurs? Answer: If the ovulated secondary oocyte is fertilized by a sperm in one of the uterine tubes, the oocyte quickly completes the second meiotic division that produces the ovum and another polar body. This polar body, formed by the division of the ovum as it completes meiosis II, is produced to reduce the number of chromosomes in the secondary oocyte. Once the ovum is formed, its 23 chromosomes are combined with those of the sperm to form the zygote. Page Ref: 576 Bloom's: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding

5) Discuss the role of the corpus luteum in maintaining pregnancy. When is it no longer needed and why? Answer: The corpus luteum is a ruptured follicle released from the ovary during ovulation. It produces progesterone as long as luteinizing hormone (LH) is present. When fertilization occurs and a blastocyst forms, it secretes an LH-like hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which prods the corpus luteum of the ovary to continue producing its hormones. By the end of the second month of pregnancy, the placenta has also become an endocrine organ and is producing estrogens, progesterone, and other hormones that help to maintain the pregnancy. At this time, the corpus luteum of the ovary becomes inactive and degenerates.

Answer: During the menstrual phase, days 0–4 of the cycle, the functional layer of the endometrium is sloughed and bleeding occurs. The proliferative phase (days 5–14) is characterized by the rebuilding of the endometrium and rising levels of estrogens. The secretory phase (days 15–28) occurs immediately after the ovulation of an oocyte from the ovary (ovarian cycle). The endometrium continues to increase its blood supply while the endometrium glands grow and begin secreting nutrients into the uterine cavity. The future of the functional layer of the endometrium depends on whether fertilization occurred and the status of the corpus luteum.

Answer: Sperm undergo the acrosomal reaction when they surround an oocyte. In this reaction, the acrosome membranes break down, releasing enzymes that digest holes in the surrounding oocyte membrane. Then, when the membrane is adequately weakened and a single sperm makes contact with one of the oocyte's membrane receptors for sperm, the head (nucleus) of the sperm fuses with the oocyte membrane, and the sperm contents enter the oocyte cytoplasm. If this man's medication inhibits the acrosomal reaction, sperm may have difficulty weakening the membrane around an oocyte for fertilization to occur.

Deduce why the endometrium of the uterus is likely at a lower risk to develop cancer from this virus. Answer: When a woman is not pregnant, the endometrial lining sloughs off periodically, usually about every 28 days, in response to changes in the levels of ovarian hormones in the blood. This process, called menstruation or menses, is often referred to as a woman getting her "period." This routine shedding of the endometrium makes it more difficult for a slow-growing cancer to take hold. Page Ref: 572, 574, 578 Bloom's: 5: Evaluating

9) A 53-year-old woman no longer has her monthly period. In fact, she hasn't had her period for a few years. Is she experiencing menarche or menopause? Assess her situation and support your answer with an explanation. Answer: Menarche, the onset of the first menstrual period, occurs during puberty in young woman at the average age of 13. Menopause normally occurs between the ages of 46 and 54; a woman is said to have reached menopause when she has gone a whole year without menstruation. This woman has entered menopause.
