7.5 Short Answer Questions 1) Describe the three distinct parts of the respiration process. Answer: 1. Ventilation • flow of air between the outside environment and the lungs • inhalation is the flow of air into the lungs; brings in fresh oxygen • exhalation is the flow of air out of the lungs; removes carbon dioxide 2. External respiration • exchange of oxygen for carbon dioxide in the lungs • oxygen moves out of the air sacs and into the bloodstream • carbon dioxide moves out of the bloodstream and into the air sacs 3. Internal respiration • exchange of oxygen for carbon dioxide at the tissue level • oxygen leaves the bloodstream and enters the tissue • carbon dioxide leaves the tissue and enters the bloodstream Page Ref: 234 Learning Obj.: 5 Taxonomy: Remembering Question Type: Anatomy and Physiology 2) Describe what pneumoconiosis is and the three types presented in the pathology table. Answer: Pneumoconiosis is an abnormal condition resulting from inhalation into the lungs of environmental particles (dust) that become toxic; can be the result of inhaling coal dust (anthracosis) or asbestos (asbestosis). • Anthracosis–An abnormal condition of pneumoconiosis that develops from the collection of coal dust in the lung; also called black lung or miner's lung. • Silicosis–An abnormal condition of a type of pneumoconiosis that develops from the inhalation of silica dust. • Asbestosis–Develops from inhaling asbestos fibers; may lead to the development of lung cancer.

Answer: Accessory organs of the digestive system are not physically part of the continuous alimentary canal that stretches from the mouth to the anus. They are attached to the gut by a duct. The accessory organs are the salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. • Salivary glands contain water, lubricants, and amylase to soften food. They make it easier to swallow and to begin carbohydrate digestion. • The liver secretes bile to emulsify fats. • The gallbladder stores bile for the liver. • The pancreas secretes buffers that neutralize acidic chyme leaving the stomach and digestive enzymes that digest carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. Page Ref: 284-286 Learning Obj.: 5 Taxonomy: Remembering Question Type: Anatomy and Physiology 2) What are endoscopic procedures? Why is the digestive system especially good for using these procedures? Give examples. Answer: Endoscopic procedures use a fiberoptic light and camera to visually examine inside hollow or tubular organs using an instrument called a scope. Because the digestive system is a hollow tube that stretches from the mouth to the anus, it is possible to examine much of the insides. Commonly performed endoscopic procedures include gastroscopy, sigmoidoscopy, laparoscopy, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, and colonoscopy. It is also possible to perform some surgical procedures using endoscopic instruments. An example is a laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

9.5 Short Answer Questions 1) Describe the three stages of urine production. Be sure to include how each stage relates to the structure of the nephron and why the composition of urine reveals information regarding the health of the body. Answer: 1. Filtration • First stage is the filtering of the blood • Occurs in the renal corpuscle • Removes water, sugar, amino acids, electrolytes, and other materials from the blood by moving the fluid out of the glomerulus and into Bowman's capsule 2. Reabsorption • Begins after filtration when the filtrate passes through the four sections of the tubule • Most of the water and some of the desirable substances, such as glucose and amino acids, are reabsorbed into the bloodstream 3. Secretion • Final stage of urine production • Occurs in the renal tubules • Ammonia, uric acid, and other waste substances are added to the filtrate from the bloodstream Page Ref: 327 Learning Obj.: 4 Taxonomy: Understanding Question Type: Anatomy and Physiology 2) Describe calculi.

10.5 Short Answer Questions 1) Describe the events of labor and delivery. Answer: Labor and delivery of an infant can be divided into three stages. 1. Dilation stage–Uterine muscles are strongly contracting and pressing the baby against the cervix. Causes the cervix to dilate and become thinner (which is called effacement). 2. Expulsion stage–When the cervix is dilated to 10 cm this stage begins. Uterine contractions now are pushing baby through the birth canal. This stage ends with the birth of the baby. 3. Placental stage–After the baby has been delivered, uterine contractions continue until the placenta (afterbirth) is delivered.
