Learning Outcome: 1.7 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 109) Give an example of an abnormality or problem at one level of organization, and explain how it affects other levels of organization. Answer: The levels of organization are dependent upon one another. Beginning with the chemical level, if the incorrect atom is put into a protein, then the protein does not function properly. Because this protein is ultimately part of a cell, or the cell's extracellular matrix, the tissue will not work correctly. It is possible that the type of tissue containing this protein is found in an organ, and possibly in many organs, therefore affecting multiple organ systems.

(Module 1.17A) Answer: Homeostatic regulation is important to an organism because failure to maintain homeostasis leads to illness or death. Learning Outcome: 1.17 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 123) Explain the function of negative feedback systems, and give an example of homeostatic regulation by negative feedback in the body. (Module 1.18A) Answer: Negative feedback systems maintain homeostasis (and provide long-term control over the body's internal conditions and systems) by counteracting any stimulus that moves conditions outside their normal range. An example of homeostatic regulation by negative feedback in the body is temperature regulation. When temperature receptors in the skin and brain detect a rise in body temperature, a negative feedback regulation is initiated. The control centers in the brain receive this input and send commands to effectors, causing skin blood vessels to dilate and sweat glands to secrete. The result is that the body is cooled and homeostasis is achieved. Learning Outcome: 1.18 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 124) Why is positive feedback helpful in blood clotting but unsuitable for regulating body temperature? (Module 1.18B) Answer: Positive feedback is useful in processes that, once begun, must move quickly to completion — for example, blood clotting. It is harmful in situations where stable conditions must be maintained because it tends to exaggerate any departure from the desired condition. Thus, positive feedback in the regulation of body temperature would cause a slight fever to spiral out of control, with fatal results. Learning Outcome: 1.18 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 125) Describe two distinctive features and two essential functions of true body cavities. (Module 1.22A) Answer: True body cavities are (1) lined by a serous membrane and (2) share a common embryonic origin.

Essay Questions 187) Which organelles are involved in membrane flow? Trace the route of a single integral membrane protein from formation to incorporation into the plasma membrane. Answer: With the exception of mitochondria, all membranous organelles are involved in membrane flow. Those most directly associated are the ER, Golgi apparatus, secretory vesicles, and plasma membrane. A membrane protein would be synthesized in the RER, then flow through the cisternae to a transport vesicle. There the protein will be moved to the cis face of the Golgi apparatus, where it will slowly travel upward toward the trans face, usually becoming modified along the way. Once reaching the cis face of the Golgi apparatus, the protein would be embedded in the membrane of a secretory vesicle and transported to the plasma membrane. There the vesicle will fuse with the membrane, inserting the protein in the cell membrane. Learning Outcome: 3.6 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 188) What are the three types of membrane permeability? Answer: There are three types of membrane permeability. In freely permeable membrane, substance pass through it without any issues. This type of membrane does not exist in any living cell. The second type of membrane has selective permeability, which allows some materials and does not allow other materials. Most living cell membranes have selective permeability. There are membranes that do not allow any substance to pass through it. This type of membrane does not exist in living cells. Learning Outcome: 3.13 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 189) When a person receives intravenous fluids to help build up blood volume, why is it important for the fluid to be isotonic? Answer: Intravenous fluids must be isotonic to prevent the cells from losing or gaining water. If the solution was hypertonic, the cells of the body would lose water, shrink, and possibly be harmed. On the other hand, the introduction of hypotonic fluid would cause the cells to swell and tissues to rupture. Learning Outcome: 3.15 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying

190) During kidney dialysis, a person's blood is passed through a bath that contains several ions and molecules. The blood is separated from the dialysis fluid by a membrane that allows water, small ions, and small molecules to pass, but does not allow large proteins or blood cells to pass. What should the composition of dialysis fluid be for it to remove urea (a small molecule) without changing the blood volume (removing water from the blood)? Answer: For the dialysis fluid to remove urea without removing water, it should not contain urea. Because urea is a small molecule, it will diffuse through the dialysis membrane from an area of high concentration (the blood) to an area of low concentration (the dialysis fluid). To prevent an associated osmotic water movement, the dialysis fluid should have an osmotic concentration similar to that of blood plasma, but with higher concentrations of solutes such as bicarbonate ions or glucose, blood solutes that also are small enough to diffuse. As urea diffuses into the dialysis fluid, glucose and bicarbonate diffuse into the blood; as a result, the solute concentrations remain in balance and no osmotic water movement occurs. Learning Outcome: 3.15 Bloom's Taxonomy: Evaluating 191) A) What are the similarities between facilitated diffusion and active transport? B) What are the differences? Answer: A) Both processes use carrier proteins and exhibit saturation.

159) A biology student accidentally loses the labels of two prepared slides she is studying. One is a slide of an intestine; the other is a slide of an esophagus. You volunteer to help her sort them out. How would you decide which slide is which? Answer: Because animal intestine is modified for absorption, you would look for a slide that shows a single layer of epithelium lining the cavity. The cells would be cuboidal or columnar and would probably have microvilli on the surface to increase surface area. Because the esophagus receives undigested food, it would have a stratified epithelium consisting of squamous cells to protect it. Learning Outcome: 4.5 Bloom's Taxonomy: Analyzing 160) Analysis of a glandular secretion indicates that it contains some DNA, RNA, and membrane components such as phospholipids. What kind of secretion is this and why? Answer: The presence of DNA, RNA, and membrane components suggest that the cell was destroyed during the process of secretion. This is consistent with a holocrine type of secretion. Learning Outcome: 4.8 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying 161) Harriet had liposuction several years ago, but has since gained back all the weight lost through the procedure. She does not understand her weight gain because adipocytes are incapable of dividing. Provide a plausible explanation. Answer: While it is true that adipocytes do not divide and the number of fat cells in peripheral tissues is limited, mesenchymal cells can divide and give rise to cells that differentiate into fat cells. Thus, areolar connective tissue can become adipose tissue in times of nutritional excess. Along with this, the fat cells that remain after surgery can enlarge by storing more triglyceride if the patient continues to overeat. Learning Outcome: 4.11 Bloom's Taxonomy: Analyzing 162) Cartilage heals poorly and in many instances does not heal or recover at all after a severe injury. Why not? Answer: Cartilage lacks blood vessels, because chondrocytes produce a substance that inhibits the formation of blood vessels. This limits nutrient and oxygen delivery. Furthermore, adult chondrocytes are terminally differentiated and can't divide so no more interstitial growth occurs. Both avascularity and lack of cell division combine to minimize cartilage healing. Learning Outcome: 4.13 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 163) Which is likely to heal faster, a bone injury or a cartilage injury? Why? Answer: Bone injuries heal relatively quickly because of the good nutrient supply by way of nearby blood vessels and the canaliculi, whereas cartilage is supplied nutrients via diffusion from the outside, a far slower process.

Learning Outcome: 4.17 Bloom's Taxonomy: Analyzing 166) What are the effects of prostaglandin and histamine during inflammation? Answer: The blood vessels' smooth muscle relaxes, which results in their dilation. The blood flow to the area increases. More RBCs come to the area and bring more oxygen to the inflamed tissue. Increased blood flow brings more nutrients to the area and removes toxins and waste products out of the area. Permeability of capillaries also increases, which causes local swelling of the tissue. Phagocytes in the tissue are activated and engulf debris and pathogens. Learning Outcome: 4.18 Bloom's Taxonomy: Analyzing 167) List the four basic tissue types, and describe the functions of each.

107) Many medications can be administered transdermally by applying patches that contain the medication to the surface of the skin. These patches can be attached anywhere on the skin except the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. Why? Answer: Thick skin slows the rate of diffusion of the medication and thus decreases its effectiveness. In addition, excessive sweat formed on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet would make the patch fall off more readily. Learning Outcome: 5.8 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying 108) In a condition known as sunstroke, the victim appears flushed, the skin is warm and dry, and the body temperature rises dramatically. Explain these observations based on what you know concerning the role of the skin in thermoregulation. Answer: When the body temperature increases, more blood flow is directed to the vessels of the skin. The red cells in the blood give the skin a redder-than-usual color and account for the victim's flushed appearance. The skin is dry because the sweat glands are not producing sweat (avoids further dehydration). Without evaporation cooling, not enough heat is dissipated from the skin, the skin is warm, and the body temperature rises. This situation represents positive feedback operating in a disease state.

119) Explain the relationship between sunlight exposure and vitamin D3. (Module 5.11B) Answer: In the presence of UV radiation in sunlight, epidermal cells in the stratum spinosum and stratum basale convert a cholesterol-related steroid into cholecalciferol, also known as vitamin D3. Learning Outcome: 5.11 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 120) In some cultures, females must be covered from head to toe when they go outdoors. Explain why these women are at increased risk of developing bone problems later in life. (Module 5.11C) Answer: The hormone cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) is needed to form strong bones and teeth. When the body surface is covered, UV radiation cannot reach the skin to stimulate cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) production, so bones can become fragile. Learning Outcome: 5.11 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying 121) Why can skin regenerate effectively even after considerable damage? (Module 5.12C) Answer: Skin can regenerate effectively even after undergoing considerable damage because stem cells persist in both the epithelial and connective tissue components of skin. In response to injury, cells of the stratum basale replace epithelial cells, and mesenchymal cells replace lost dermal cells. Learning Outcome: 5.12 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying

Essay Questions 138) What is the difference between ossification and calcification? Answer: Ossification means specifically the conversion of connective tissue into bone tissue. Calcification means the depositing of calcium salts in any tissue, including bone. Learning Outcome: 6.4 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying 139) During the growth of a long bone, how is the epiphysis forced farther from the shaft? Answer: The chondrocytes near the center of the shaft increase greatly in size. The matrix is reduced to a series of small struts that soon begin to calcify. The enlarged chondrocytes then die and disintegrate, leaving cavities within the cartilage. Blood vessels penetrate the cartilage and fibroblasts migrating with the blood vessels differentiate into osteoblasts and begin producing spongy bone at a primary ossification center. Bone formation then spreads along the shaft toward both ends. On the shaft, the chondrocytes become ossified, "chasing" the expanding epiphyseal cartilage away from the shaft. Learning Outcome: 6.7 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 140) Would you expect to see changes in blood levels of the hormones calcitonin and PTH as a result of vitamin D3 deficiency? Explain. Answer: A person deficient in vitamin D3 would not be able to absorb calcium effectively from the digestive tract, leading to a shortage of calcium in the blood. To maintain homeostasis, the decrease in blood calcium would trigger the release of PTH. The PTH, in turn, would stimulate osteoclasts to release enough calcium from the bone to maintain proper calcium levels in the blood. Levels of calcitonin would decrease, because release of this hormone is triggered by high blood calcium levels.

Learning Outcome: 6.2 Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering 144) Why are bone injuries usually painful? (Module 6.3D) Answer: Bone injuries are usually painful because of the extensive presence of sensory nerves within the periosteum, diaphysis, medullary cavity, and epiphyses. Learning Outcome: 6.3 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 145) Compare compact bone and spongy bone. (Module 6.5B) Answer: Compact bone, which lies over spongy bone and makes up most of a bone's diaphysis, consists of compactly arranged osteons (Haversian systems); it protects, supports, and resists stress. Spongy bone makes up most of the volume of short, flat, and irregular bones and is also found at the epiphyses of long bones; it stores marrow and provides some support. Learning Outcome: 6.5 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 146) Distinguish between the periosteum and the endosteum. (Module 6.6C) Answer: The periosteum is the superficial layer that surrounds a bone.

Learning Outcome: 6.6 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 147) How could x-rays of the femur be used to determine whether a person has reached full height? (Module 6.7C) Answer: X-rays of long bones, such as the femur, can reveal the presence or absence of the epiphyseal cartilage, which separates the epiphysis from the diaphysis so long as the bone is still lengthening. If the epiphyseal cartilage is present, growth is still occurring; if it is not present, the bone has reached its full length, and thus the person has reached his or her full height. Learning Outcome: 6.7 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying 148) Describe Marfan syndrome.

149) What physical signs would be expected in a person whose blood calcium was abnormally low? (Module 6.10C) Answer: If a person's blood calcium were abnormally low, neuron and muscle cell functions would be disrupted. Skeletal muscles might not function properly, so the person's movement would be altered. Cardiac muscle could also be affected, so heart rate is likely to be irregular. Learning Outcome: 6.10 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying 150) Describe the kidney and intestinal responses to PTH. (Module 6.11B) Answer: PTH stimulates an increase in the production of the hormone calcitriol by the kidneys. The additional calcitriol stimulates calcium reabsorption by the kidneys.

275) How would a broken clavicle affect the mobility and stability of the scapula? (Module 7.16B) Answer: The clavicle attaches the scapula to the sternum and restricts the scapula's range of motion (mobility). When the clavicle is broken, the scapula has a greater than normal range of motion and is less stable. Learning Outcome: 7.16 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying 276) How does the female skull differ from the male skull? (Module 7.21A) Answer: Compared with the male skull, the female skull is lighter and smoother; it is about 10% smaller; the forehead is more vertical; the sinuses are smaller; the teeth are smaller; and the mandible is smaller, narrower, and less robust. Learning Outcome: 7.21 Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering 277) The fibula neither participates in the knee joint nor bears weight. Yet when it is fractured, walking becomes difficult. Why? (Module 7.22D) Answer: The fibula both stabilizes the ankle joint and is an important point of attachment for muscles that move the foot and toes. When the fibula is fractured, those muscle cannot function properly, so walking becomes difficult — and painful. Learning Outcome: 7.22 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying

Answer: Contraction of the triceps brachii muscle causes the ulna to rotate around the distal humerus, causing extension of the forearm. Learning Outcome: 8.4 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 112) Why is the inferior region of the shoulder joint most vulnerable to dislocation? Answer: The anterior, superior, and posterior surfaces of the shoulder joint are reinforced by ligaments, muscles, and tendons, but the inferior capsule is poorly reinforced. As a result, a dislocation caused by an impact or a violent muscle contraction is most likely to occur at this site. Such a dislocation can tear the inferior capsular wall and the glenoid labrum. Learning Outcome: 8.9 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 113) How are osteoarthritis and rheumatism different? Answer: Osteoarthritis is a "wear-and-tear" disease seen usually in the elderly. Rheumatism is a general term that includes all types of diseases that cause joint or muscle pain. Osteoarthritis is one of many types of rheumatism. Learning Outcome: 8.11 Bloom's Taxonomy: Analyzing 114) Describe the key components of a synovial joint, and identify their functions. (Module 8.2A) Answer: The key components of a synovial joint are a fibrous joint (articular) capsule, which surrounds the joint; articular cartilage, which resembles hyaline cartilage and covers the articulating bone surfaces; a synovial membrane, which lines the articular capsule and secretes synovial fluid that lubricates, distributes nutrients, and absorbs shocks; and a joint cavity that is filled with synovial fluid. Learning Outcome: 8.2 Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering

29


115) Describe the accessory structures of complex synovial joints and identify their functions. (Module 8.2B) Answer: Accessory structures include bursae, which are pockets filled with synovial fluid that reduce friction and absorb shocks; fat pads, which protect the articular cartilage; menisci, which are fibrocartilage articular discs that allow for variation in the shapes of the articulating surfaces; ligaments, which are cords of fibrous tissue that support, strengthen, and reinforce the joint; and tendons, which pass across or around a joint, limit the range of motion, and provide mechanical support. Learning Outcome: 8.2 Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering 116) Why would improper circulation of synovial fluid cause degeneration of articular cartilages in the affected joint? (Module 8.2C) Answer: Articular cartilage lacks a blood supply and thus relies on synovial fluid to supply nutrients and remove wastes. If the circulation of synovial fluid were impaired, the cartilage would no longer receive nutrients, and wastes would accumulate. This could cause the cartilage to degenerate, and cells in the tissue may die. Learning Outcome: 8.2 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying 117) Compare a bulging disc with a herniated disc. (Module 8.8A) Answer: A bulging disc is an intervertebral disc that is displaced or partly protruding as a result of a compressed nucleus pulposus that distorts the annulus fibrosus. In a herniated disc, the nucleus pulposus breaks through the annulus fibrosus, causing it to protrude into the vertebral canal. Learning Outcome: 8.8 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 118) What common age-related factors contribute to vertebral fractures in the elderly?(Module 8.8B) Answer: Age-related fractures that may lead to vertebral fractures include reduced cushioning by intervertebral discs due to water loss (disc degeneration) and inadequate ossification due to osteopenia. Osteoporosis is a further complicating factor. Learning Outcome: 8.8 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying 119) A football player is pushed out of bounds from behind. He falls onto his outstretched hand, pushing the humeral head forcefully upward. Which joint and ligaments are affected? (Module 8.9C) Answer: The upward force of the head of the humerus could cause partial or complete dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint. This is called a shoulder separation. The bones involved include the clavicle, scapula, and humerus, and the stabilizing ligaments involved are the coracoclavicular; acromioclavicular; coraco-acromial, coracohumeral, and glenohumeral ligaments. Learning Outcome: 8.9 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying 30


120) What signs and symptoms would you expect in a person who has damaged the menisci of the knee joint? (Module 8.10B) Answer: Damage to the menisci of the knee joint decreases the joint's lateral stability, so the person would have difficulty locking the knee in place while standing and would have to use muscle contractions to stabilize the joint. If the person had to stand for a long time, the muscles would fatigue, and the knee would "give out." It is also likely that the person would feel pain. Learning Outcome: 8.10 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying 121) Compare rheumatism with osteoarthritis. (Module 8.11A) Answer: Rheumatism is a general term describing any painful condition of joints, muscles, or both that is not caused by infection or injury. Osteoarthritis is a form of rheumatism characterized by degeneration of the joint cartilage and the underlying bone. Osteoarthritis results from cumulative wear and tear or genetic factors affecting collagen formation. Learning Outcome: 8.11 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 122) What can a person do to slow the progression of arthritis?

Answer: D Learning Outcome: 9.15 Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering Essay Questions 151) Describe the basic sequence of events that occurs at the neuromuscular junction and in the muscle cell during excitation and excitation-contraction coupling. Answer: The action potential triggers the exocytosis of neurotransmitters stored in vesicles in the axon ending. This acetylcholine binds to receptors in the motor end plate, increasing the muscle membrane permeability to sodium. Acetylcholinesterase destroys the acetylcholine, ensuring that each nerve action potential produces only a single twitch. The influx of these positive sodium ions triggers an action potential. The action potential spreads in both directions away from the end plate across the entire surface of the muscle fiber and into the interior via transverse tubules, triggering a pulse of calcium ion release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, which generates a brief small twitch. With additional stimuli, calcium ion builds up and higher tensions are produced. Learning Outcome: 9.6 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 152) A hypothetical genetic disease causes the body to produce antibodies that compete with acetylcholine for receptors on the motor end plate. Patients with this disease exhibit varying degrees of muscle weakness and flaccid paralysis in the affected muscles. If you could administer a drug that inhibits acetylcholinesterase or a drug that blocks acetylcholine, which one would you use to alleviate these symptoms? Answer: This is a case of competition between acetylcholine and the antibody. To make the patient's acetylcholine more effective, a drug that inhibits acetylcholinesterase would slow the breakdown of his acetylcholine, relieving some of the weakness. An acetylcholine blocker would be worse than doing nothing. Learning Outcome: 9.6 Bloom's Taxonomy: Analyzing

153) Describe a motor unit. How many fibers does a muscle unit contain? Answer: A motor unit consists of all the skeletal muscle fibers controlled by a single motor neuron. They may have as few as 4-6 fibers (eye muscles) or as many as 1000-2000 (leg muscles). Learning Outcome: 9.10 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 154) Thirty minutes after Mary has completed a 25-km race, she begins to notice severe muscle soreness and stiffness in her legs. Her urine is dark colored. She wonders whether she may have damaged her muscles during the race. She visits the ER, and the doctor orders several blood tests. What kind of blood tests can help determine whether muscle damage has occurred? Answer: If muscle damage occurred, the doctor would find enzymes such as creatine phosphokinase and proteins such as myoglobin or troponin in the bloodstream released by injured skeletal muscle cells. The level of these substances correlates with the severity of the injury. Learning Outcome: 9.12 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying 155) Mary wants to enter a weight-lifting competition and consults you as to what type of muscle fibers she needs to develop and how she should go about it. What would you suggest to her? Answer: Weight lifting requires anaerobic endurance. Mary would want to develop her fast fibers for short-term maximum strength. She would achieve this by engaging in activities that involve frequent, brief, but intensive workouts, such as with heavy weights to the point of muscle fatigue. The fatigue triggers the production of new myofilament proteins, leading to muscle bulk and strength. Learning Outcome: 9.14 Bloom's Taxonomy: Analyzing 156) How would severing a tendon attached to a muscle affect movement of that limb? (Module 9.2D) Answer: Because tendons attach muscles to bones, severing the tendon would disconnect the muscle from the bone, so the muscle could not move that limb. Learning Outcome: 9.2 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying 157) Describe the structures of a sarcomere. (Module 9.3A) Answer: Sarcomeres, the smallest contractile units of a striated muscle cell, are segments of myofibrils. Each sarcomere has a dark A band and light I bands. The A band contains the M line, the H band, and the zone of overlap. Each I band contains thin filaments, but not thick filaments. Z lines mark the boundaries between adjacent sarcomeres. Learning Outcome: 9.3 Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering

42


158) How would a drug that blocks acetylcholine release affect muscle contraction? (Module 9.6B) Answer: A drug that blocks acetylcholine release would prevent binding of acetylcholine with its receptor on the motor end plate; therefore, sodium ions would not rush into the muscle fiber's sarcoplasm, and no action potential would be generated in the sarcolemma. As a result, muscle contraction could not occur. Learning Outcome: 9.6 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying 159) List the interrelated steps that occur once the contraction cycle begins. (Module 9.7B) Answer: Once the contraction cycle begins, the steps that occur are as follows: (1) active sites are exposed, (2) cross-bridges form, (3) myosin heads pivot (power stroke), (4) cross-bridges detach, and (5) myosin reactivates (myosin head "recocks"). Learning Outcome: 9.7 Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering 160) Describe the events that occur during each phase of a twitch in a stimulated muscle fiber. (Module 9.9C) Answer: In an initial latent period (after the stimulus arrives and before tension begins to increase), an action potential generated in the muscle fiber triggers the release of calcium ions from the SR. In the contraction phase, calcium ions bind to troponin (cross-bridges form), and tension begins to increase. In the relaxation phase, tension decreases because cross-bridges have detached and because calcium ion levels have fallen; the active sites are once again covered by the troponin-tropomyosin complex. Learning Outcome: 9.9 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 161) Why would a sprinter experience muscle fatigue before a marathon runner would? (Module 9.14B) Answer: A sprinter requires large amounts of ATP for a short burst of activity. To supply this ATP, the sprinter's muscles rely on large glycogen reserves and anaerobic metabolism. Because the muscle fibers have relatively few mitochondria to generate additional ATP, fatigue resistance is also low. Conversely, marathon runners derive most of their ATP from the more efficient process of aerobic metabolism. Learning Outcome: 9.14 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying

162) Explain how the flexibility or rigidity of a dead body can provide a clue about a murder victim's time of death. (Module 9.15B) Answer: A murder victim's time of death can be estimated according to the body's flexibility or rigidity because rigor mortis typically begins a few hours after death, reaches maximum rigidity some 2-7 hours after death, and subsides about 1-6 days later or when decomposition begins. Thus, for example, a victim whose body lacks any signs of rigor mortis likely died within the past few hours. At the molecular level, the membranes of the dead cells are no longer selectively permeable, and the SR is no longer able to retain calcium ions. As calcium ions enter the sarcoplasm, a sustained contraction develops, making the body extremely stiff. Contraction persists because the dead muscle cells can no longer make the ATP required for cross-bridge detachment from the active sites. Rigor mortis lasts until the lysosomal enzymes released by autolysis break down the myofilaments.

Propose a logical explanation. (Module 9.15C) Answer: While Fred's leg was immobilized, its muscles did not receive sufficient neural stimulation to maintain normal mass, tone, and strength — that is, his leg muscle atrophied — and the muscles were thus unable to support his weight.

Essay Questions 165) The myelination of central and peripheral axons occurs rapidly through the first few years of life. How can this developmental process explain the improved motor abilities of infants and toddlers? Answer: Without full myelination, information about limb movement and body position moves slowly to the CNS, and motor commands move slowly and erratically to the muscles. By the time the brain is aware of movement or position and can issue a motor command, the limb has already moved. When the motor command reaches the skeletal muscle, the response is no longer appropriate. As the neurons become fully myelinated, information processing speeds up, so we observe improved balance, coordination, and movement. Learning Outcome: 11.4 Bloom's Taxonomy: Analyzing 166) A drug that blocks ATP production is introduced into an isolated axon preparation. The axon is then repeatedly stimulated, and recordings are made of the response. What effects would you expect to observe? Answer: Initially, the recording would show normal action potentials in response to the repetitive stimulation. After 50,000 to 100,000 action potentials have passed, the recording would start to indicate less responsiveness from the axon; ultimately, the axon would fail to respond. Because very few ions actually move across the membrane during an action potential, axons can carry thousands of action potentials before the concentrations of sodium and potassium ions must be reestablished by the sodium-potassium pump. Without ATP production, the supply of ATP would be consumed, the pump would shut down, and so the cell could not restore the sodium and potassium ion gradients. The resulting slow depolarization would inactivate voltage-gated sodium channels, leading to a persistent absolute refractory state. The loss of the electrochemical gradients denies the axons their means of generating an action potential, and transmission would stop.

168) Compare a graded potential with an action potential. (Module 11.6B) Answer: Graded potentials are temporary, localized changes in resting membrane potentials that decrease with distance away from the stimulus. In response to sufficiently large graded potentials, action potentials are generated. Action potentials begin in one location and spread along the surface of an axon toward the axon terminals. Learning Outcome: 11.6 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 169) Identify the three types of gated ion channels, and state the conditions under which each operates. (Module 11.8B) Answer: Chemically gated ion channels operate when they bind specific chemicals (such as ACh); voltage-gated ion channels operate in response to changes in the membrane potential; and mechanically gated ion channels operate in response to physical distortion of the membrane surface. Learning Outcome: 11.8 Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering 170) List the events involved in the generation of an action potential. (Module 11.10D) Answer: The events involved in the generation of an action potential are (1) depolarization to threshold, (2) activation of voltage-gated sodium ion channels and rapid depolarization, (3) inactivation of voltage-gated sodium ion channels and activation of voltage-gated potassium ion channels, and (4) closing of voltage-gated potassium ion channels. Learning Outcome: 11.10 Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering 171) Define continuous propagation and salutatory propagation. (Module 11.11A) Answer: Continuous propagation is the propagation of an action potential along an unmyelinated axon, where the action potential affects every portion of the membrane surface.

Essay Questions 140) What would happen if the posterior root of a spinal nerve were completely transected? Answer: The posterior roots contain axons of sensory neurons, so input from those afferents within the severed root would not be transmitted to the CNS and thus this lesion would result in a complete loss of feeling from the body region served by the afferent fibers in that posterior root. Learning Outcome: 12.6 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 141) While playing football, Ramón is tackled hard and, as he tries to get up, he finds that he has difficulty flexing and adducting his left thigh and extending his left leg. Which nerve innervating the lower limb may be damaged, and how would the damage affect sensory perception in Ramón's left leg? Answer: Ramón has a damaged left femoral nerve. This nerve also supplies sensory innervation to the skin on the anteromedial surface of the thigh and medial surfaces of the leg and foot, so he will also experience numbness in those regions. Learning Outcome: 12.10 Bloom's Taxonomy: Analyzing 142) What is a reflex arc? What components must be present to qualify? Answer: A reflex arc is the wiring pattern of neurons that underlie a particular reflex. A reflex arc consists of three elements at the minimum: (1) a sensory receptor and neuron to carry afferent information to the CNS; (2) an excitatory synapse on a motor neuron; (3) the motor neuron to generate an action potential and conduct the impulse to an effector such as a skeletal muscle motor unit. Learning Outcome: 12.12 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 143) Sometimes, when it is difficult to initiate a knee-jerk reflex by tapping the patellar tendon, a patient will be asked to voluntarily make a fist. Then the reflex will be easily evoked. What does this illustrate about the relation between voluntary and involuntary reflex movement? Answer: Descending motor tracts that excite the motor neurons that activate forearm and hand muscles also send excitatory impulses to motor neurons lower down the spinal cord. These EPSPs spatially summate with the excitatory inputs from the muscle spindles to quadriceps motor neurons, bringing the quadriceps neurons to threshold, and thus generate a brisk "knee jerk" response.

Essay Questions 114) Why is the adrenal medulla considered to be a modified sympathetic ganglion? Answer: Preganglionic sympathetic fibers entering the adrenal gland proceed to the adrenal medulla, where they synapse on neuroendocrine cells that release the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and epinephrine into the bloodstream causing sympathetic effects body wide. Learning Outcome: 14.3 Bloom's Taxonomy: Analyzing 115) List the different types of adrenergic receptors, the responses they produce, and by what mechanisms. Answer: There are two types of alpha receptors and three types of beta receptors. The alpha-1 receptor produces excitation or stimulation of metabolism. It works by activation of an enzyme and/or by release of calcium ion from internal stores. The alpha-2 receptor is inhibitory on its target cell by reducing the level of cAMP. Beta-1 receptors are stimulating, causing an increase in cardiac muscle rate and force of contraction and/or lead to increased energy consumption. They activate cellular enzymes. Beta-2 receptors inhibit activity or produce relaxation in smooth muscle cells of the respiratory passageways and blood vessels of skeletal muscle. They operate through enzyme activation. Beta-3 receptors release fatty acids from adipose tissue. Learning Outcome: 14.6 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 116) Mr. Martin is suffering from a condition known as ventricular tachycardia, in which his heart beats too quickly. Would an alpha-blocker or a beta-blocker help alleviate his problem? Why? Answer: You would want to use a beta-blocker, because the stimulation of beta-1 receptors increases heart rate. By blocking these receptors, parasympathetic influence will predominate and the heart will slow down. Learning Outcome: 14.6 Bloom's Taxonomy: Analyzing 117) The nervous and endocrine systems are the body's two main regulatory systems. Describe some of the ways that the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine system interact. Answer: The release of epinephrine from the adrenal medulla is triggered by preganglionic sympathetic activity. The sympathetic division also controls the release of rennin from the kidneys, insulin from the pancreas, ADH from the pituitary, and melatonin from the pineal. Hormones such as thyroid have a powerful effect on brain development and metabolism. Learning Outcome: 14.8 Bloom's Taxonomy: Analyzing

118) What effect would cutting the vagus nerve branch that innervates the stomach have on gastric function? Answer: The vagus nerve carries parasympathetic preganglionic fibers to many organs within the ventral cavity, including the digestive organs. It stimulates gastric motility and secretion of acid and enzymes. Removing the vagus innervation will eliminate parasympathetic stimulation, leaving only sympathetic innervation, which is inhibitory. This procedure will thus greatly reduce gastric activity. Hormonal stimulation will remain but higher centers will no longer influence secretion of gastric juice. Learning Outcome: 14.8 Bloom's Taxonomy: Analyzing 119) List general responses to increased sympathetic activity and to parasympathetic activity. (Module 14.3C) Answer: General responses to increased sympathetic activity include heightened mental alertness, increased metabolic rate, reduced digestive and urinary functions, activation of energy reserves, increased respiratory rate and dilation of respiratory passageways, elevated heart rate and blood pressure, and activation of sweat glands. General responses to increased parasympathetic activity include decreased metabolic rate, decreased heart rate and blood pressure, increased secretion by salivary and digestive glands, increased motility and blood flow in the digestive tract, and stimulation of urinary and defecation. Learning Outcome: 14.3 Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering 120) What physiological changes are typical in a tense or anxious person? (Module 14.5A) Answer: In a tense or anxious person, increased sympathetic stimulation typically causes increased alertness (being "on edge"); a feeling of increased energy; increased heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate; increase in muscle tone; and mobilization of energy reserves. Learning Outcome: 14.5 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 121) Why is the parasympathetic division called the anabolic system? (Module 14.5C) Answer: The parasympathetic division is sometimes referred to as the anabolic system because parasympathetic stimulation leads to a general increase in the nutrient content of the blood. Cells throughout the body respond to the increase by absorbing the nutrients and using them to support growth and other anabolic activities. Learning Outcome: 14.5 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 122) Compare and contrast alpha and beta receptors. (Module 14.6A) Answer: Both alpha receptors and beta receptors are adrenergic receptors on the membranes of target cells. Alpha receptors are more sensitive to NE than beta receptors, but both receptors are stimulated by E. Alpha-1 receptor stimulation typically excites the target cell, and alpha-2 receptor stimulation generally inhibits the target cell. Simulation of beta receptors may result in excitation or inhibition of the target cell. Learning Outcome: 14.6 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 32


123) A person with high blood pressure (hypertension) is prescribed a drug that blocks beta receptors. How could this medication alleviate hypertension? (Module 14.6C) Answer: Blocking the beta receptors on cardiac cells would decrease (or prevent) sympathetic stimulation of tissues containing those cells. As a result, heart rate, force of cardiac muscle contraction, and contraction of the smooth muscle in blood vessel walls would decrease, lowering blood pressure. Learning Outcome: 14.6 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying 124) Explain the significance of the ANS to homeostasis. (Module 14.7A) Answer: The ANS adjusts the activities of virtually every body system, maintaining homeostasis without instructions or interference from the conscious mind. Learning Outcome: 14.7 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 125) Explain autonomic tone and its significance in controlling visceral function. (Module 14.8B) Answer: Autonomic tone is the background level of activity in sympathetic or parasympathetic motor neurons under resting conditions. It provides a mechanism for fine control of visceral function because it allows a resting neuron to be less active or more active rather than to simply switch from off to on. This is particularly important when only one division innervates a visceral organ or when an organ (such as the heart) must be precisely controlled over a broad range of activity levels. Learning Outcome: 14.8 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 126) You go outside on a cold day, and blood flow to your skin is reduced, conserving body heat. You become angry, and your face turns red. Explain these changes. (Module 14.8C) Answer: The blood vessels of the skin receive only sympathetic innervation. When you go outside into the cold, sympathetic neurons release NE and cause vasoconstriction of superficial blood vessels through stimulation of alpha receptors. When you get angry, sympathetic activation occurs, and large amounts of epinephrine enter the circulation. This stimulates beta receptors in the superficial blood vessels, dilating those vessels, and stimulates the heart, increasing blood pressure and blood flow. As a result, your skin — and most obviously your face — turns red. Learning Outcome: 14.8 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying 127) Harry has a brain tumor that is pressing against his hypothalamus. Explain the effect on autonomic function. (Module 14.11C) Answer: A brain tumor pressing on the hypothalamus could interfere with autonomic function because the hypothalamus receives visceral sensory information and controls both sympathetic and parasympathetic functions.

She does not need glasses to see objects that are close. What type of lenses are in Sally's eyeglasses? How do they work? Answer: Sally is apparently nearsighted (myopic) and needs diverging lenses to correct the condition by moving the focal distance back in the eye to the retina. Learning Outcome: 15.14 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying 192) How would blockage of the auditory (Eustachian) tube at its exit in the nasopharynx by lymphatic tissue ("adenoids") affect ear function and health? Answer: Blockage of the auditory tube leads to pain because pressure cannot equilibrate between the middle ear and the atmosphere. Also, fluid can accumulate (otitis media) in the middle ear, which is also painful and potentially infective. Untreated, adenoids can lead to scarring of the tympanum and some loss of hearing. Learning Outcome: 15.16 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying 193) What six basic steps are involved in the process of hearing? Answer: (1) Sound waves arrive at the tympanic membrane. (2) Movement of the tympanic membrane causes displacement of the auditory ossicles. (3) Movement of the stapes at the oval window establishes pressure waves in the perilymph of the vestibular duct. (4) The pressure waves distort the basilar membrane on their way to the round window of the tympanic duct. (5) Vibration of the basilar membrane causes vibration of hair cells and bending of stereocilia against the tectorial membrane.

194) Each of the special senses can be expected to decline in some way over time. Describe some of the changes commonly seen in the function of the special senses with age. Answer: Olfactory receptors are reduced in number and olfactory glands decline in activity. Both changes reduce olfactory acuity. Gustatory sense declines with a decline in the number of taste buds and taste receptors. Vision suffers from a loss of retinal function, clouding of lens and cornea, and loss of lens elasticity, leading to senile hyperopia (presbyopia). Hearing declines due to accumulation of cerumen, scarring of the tympanum, arthritis of the ossicular chain, and loss of proximal hair cells in the organ of Corti, leading to high-tone deafness. Balance declines due to nerve problems, fluid problems, and vascular problems, leading to faulty or delayed vestibular information. That decline coupled with a sluggish and weak motor response increases the risk of falls and consequent trauma. Learning Outcome: 15.22 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying 195) Describe the events leading up to the depolarization and generation of an action potential by an olfactory receptor cell. (Module 15.2C) Answer: The depolarization of an olfactory receptor cell begins with the binding of airborne odorant molecules to their receptors on the membranes of olfactory dendrites. Binding results in the activation of the enzyme adenylate cyclase and formation of cyclic AMP (cAMP). The cAMP opens sodium ion channels in the plasma membrane, leading to depolarization of the olfactory receptor cell's axon. Learning Outcome: 15.2 Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering 196) Describe conjunctivitis. (Module 15.6C) Answer: Conjunctivitis, or pinkeye, is inflammation of the conjunctiva, generally caused by a pathogenic infection or by physical, allergic or chemical irritation of the conjunctival surface.

199) Contrast the olfactory and gustatory sensory receptors with those of equilibrium and hearing. (Module 15.15A) Answer: In olfaction and gustation, the sensory receptor cells are exposed to the external environment and communicate with the CNS. In equilibrium and hearing, by contrast, the sensory receptors are isolated within the internal ear and protected from the external environment. Learning Outcome: 15.15 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 200) Describe the sensory receptors of the internal ear. (Module 15.15B) Answer: The sensory receptors of the internal ear are called hair cells because their free surfaces are covered with specialized processes similar to cilia and microvilli. Certain hair cells contain a kinocilium (a single large cilium) and many stereocilia. Learning Outcome: 15.15 Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering 201) Describe the regional differences among the receptor complexes in the membranous labyrinth. (Module 15.17C) Answer: Within the membranous labyrinth, receptors in the semicircular ducts respond only to rotation, receptors in the vestibule respond only to gravity and linear acceleration, and receptors in the cochlear duct respond only to sound. Learning Outcome: 15.17 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 202) Beginning at the external acoustic meatus, list, in order, the structures involved in hearing. (Module 15.20B) Answer: Sound waves enter the external acoustic meatus — tympanic membrane — auditory ossicles — oval window — basilar membrane — round window of scala tympani — hair cells vibrate against tectorial membrane — information relayed to CNS by cochlear nerve of cranial nerve VIII. Learning Outcome: 15.20 Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering 203) How would sound perception be affected if the round window could not bulge out as a result of increased perilymph pressure? (Module 15.20C) Answer: If the round window could not move, the perilymph would not be moved by the vibration of the stapes at the oval window; this would reduce or eliminate the perception of sound.

Essay Questions 179) Communication between cells is key to organism-level regulation of the internal environment to maintain health, that is, nearly constant internal conditions (homeostasis). Outline and compare the intercellular communication pathways that function to provide homeostasis. Answer: Intercellular communication occurs largely through the nervous system and the endocrine system. In general, the nervous system performs short-term "crisis management," whereas the endocrine system regulates longer-term, ongoing metabolic processes. Ideally, the nervous system communicates by an impulse over an axon to a neuron or some other effector. This is a very fast and spatially specific process. In contrast, the endocrine system relies on blindly sending out chemical messages to the whole body through the blood and interstitial fluid. This process is slow, and relies on the response of a different target cell. Learning Outcome: 16.1 Bloom's Taxonomy: Analyzing 180) When patients who are receiving glucocorticoid therapy (for example, with prednisone) need to stop taking it, the doctor will prescribe a series of doses of tapering size to gradually lower the dose rather than suddenly stop it. Explain this dosage strategy in terms of the negative feedback control of cortisol secretion. Answer: Glucocorticoids inhibit the production of corticotrophin-releasing hormone by the hypothalamus and ACTH by the anterior pituitary. High doses of prednisone will mean that levels of ACTH in the patient have been quite low, and so the zona fasciculata of the adrenal cortex will have not been stimulated for a while and can't do much synthesis. By slowly reducing the prednisone, it gives the patient's own ability to make cortisol a chance to recover and thus prevents collapse of blood pressure and other serious effects of suddenly withholding the corticosteroid. Learning Outcome: 16.10 Bloom's Taxonomy: Analyzing 181) What does it mean to say that the pancreas is both an endocrine and an exocrine organ? Answer: The pancreas contains both exocrine and endocrine cells. Cells of the endocrine pancreas form clusters called pancreatic islets (islets of Langerhans) and the exocrine cells cluster in structures called pancreatic acini. The endocrine cells secrete at their basal surfaces into the interstitial space, exactly opposite to the exocrine gland cells, which secrete fluid and digestive enzymes out of their apical surfaces into tiny ducts. The pancreatic islets secrete the hormones glucagon, insulin, and pancreatic polypeptide, which diffuse into nearby capillaries and then reach cells throughout the body via the circulation. The pancreatic exocrine secretions enter the intestine during digestion and play a key role in both protecting the epithelium and dissolving food particles into their constituent building blocks.

182) Describe the four patterns of hormonal interaction. Answer: Hormones can interact in one of four ways: antagonistic interactions oppose one another; additive interactions enhance the effects of each hormone; permissive effects occur when one hormone is required for the other to function; and integrative effects occur when the action of a hormone differs with differing target organs. Learning Outcome: 16.14 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 183) Describe the three phases of the general adaptation syndrome (GAS) that constitute the body's response to stress. Which endocrine secretions play dominant roles in the alarm and resistance phases? Answer: The three phases are alarm, resistance, and exhaustion. During the alarm phase, energy reserves are mobilized and the body prepares itself with "fight or flight" responses. During the resistance phase, glucocorticoids are released to (1) mobilize lipid and protein reserves, (2) conserve glucose for neural tissue, (3) elevate and stabilize blood glucose concentrations, (4) conserve salts and water, and (5) lose K+ and H+. During the exhaustion phase, homeostatic regulation breaks down. Epinephrine plays a dominant role in the alarm phase and glucocorticoids are dominant in the resistance phase. Learning Outcome: 16.17 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 184) Jane lives in Appalachia and suffers from hypothyroidism. Her thyroid gland is enlarged, her body temperature is low, and her hair and skin look brittle and dry. Blood tests show very low levels of circulating iodine, T3, and T4, but high levels of TSH.

187) Identify the three mechanisms by which the hypothalamus integrates neural and endocrine function. (Module 16.5B) Answer: The three mechanisms of hypothalamic integration of neural and endocrine function are (1) secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and oxytocin (OXT), (2) secretion of regulatory hormones that control activity of the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, and (3) neural (sympathetic) control over the endocrine cells of the adrenal medullae. Learning Outcome: 16.5 Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering 188) Name and describe the characteristics and functions of the blood vessels that link the hypothalamus with the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. (Module 16.5C) Answer: The blood vessels of the hypophyseal portal system link the hypothalamus and the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. Unusually permeable fenestrated capillary beds in each structure are connected by portal vessels. This arrangement ensures that hypothalamic regulatory hormones reach the "downstream" endocrine cells of the anterior lobe directly, before mixing with, and being diluted by, the general circulation. Learning Outcome: 16.5 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 189) Identify the nine pituitary hormones and their target tissues. (Module 16.6B) Answer: The hormones produced and released by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland are (1) thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which targets the thyroid gland; (2) adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH), which targets the adrenal cortex; (3) follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and (4) luteinizing hormone (LH), which target the testes in males and the ovaries in females; (5) growth hormone (GH), which targets liver cells (which respond by synthesizing somatomedins); (6) prolactin (PRL), which targets mammary glands in females; and (7) melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH), which targets melanocytes in the skin. Hormones released by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland are (8) oxytocin (OXT), which targets the uterus and mammary glands; and (9) antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which targets the kidneys.

By giving a dose of anti-Rh antibody (RhoGAM) just before or after delivery, the fetal red cells will be agglutinated and removed from the mother's circulation before her immune system will have time to make anti-Rh antibodies that would endanger her next Rh-positive offspring.

147) Briefly describe the vascular, platelet, and coagulation phases of hemostasis. (Module 17.10B) Answer: During the vascular phase, local blood vessel constriction (vascular spasm) occurs at the injury site. In the platelet phase, platelets are activated, aggregate at the site, and adhere to damaged blood vessel surfaces. In the coagulation phase, factors released by platelets and endothelial cells interact with clotting factors (through either the extrinsic pathway, the intrinsic pathway, or the common pathway) to form a blood clot, a process involving the conversion of soluble fibrinogen to insoluble fibers of fibrin. Learning Outcome: 17.10 Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering 148) Describe the events that follow the coagulation phase. (Module 17.10C) Answer: Clot retraction and fibrinolysis follow the coagulation phase. The clot consists of fibrin, red blood cells, and platelets. The platelets contract, and the entire clot retracts, pulling the cut vessel edges together. As repairs continue, the clot dissolves through the process of fibrinolysis. Fibrinolysis is activated by plasminogen, which, in turn, activates plasmin, which erodes the foundation of the clot. Learning Outcome: 17.10 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 149) Explain why venipuncture is a common clinical procedure for obtaining blood for examination. (Module 17.11C) Answer: In venipuncture, blood is collected from a superficial vein. Venipuncture is a common clinical procedure because superficial veins are easy to locate, the walls of veins are thinner than comparable sized arteries, and blood pressure in the venous system is relatively low, so the puncture wound seals quickly.

Essay Questions 169) Beth Wood tells her nursing students that it is important to monitor patients' blood pressure when they are receiving verapamil (a calcium channel blocker). Why? Answer: Calcium channel blockers inhibit the movement of calcium ions from the interstitial fluid into cardiac and smooth muscle cells. This would cause a decrease in heart rate, stroke volume, and cardiac output. These in turn would lower blood pressure. In addition, the calcium channel blockers would also inhibit contraction of the smooth muscle in the wall of blood vessels, causing them to get wider and thus also lower blood pressure. Because both heart and smooth muscle cells are inhibited by verapamil, its effects on blood pressure are particularly potent. Learning Outcome: 18.11 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying 170) A patient's ECG recording shows a very long P-R interval. What is the cause of this abnormal wave pattern? Answer: The P wave marks the time of atrial depolarization and the QRS complex signals ventricular depolarization. Between those two events the AV node was excited and the action potential was spread through the conducting tissue to the ventricular myocardium. A prolonged P-R interval signifies an unusually slow conduction through the AV node and conducting system, possibly due to insufficient blood flow (ischemia). Learning Outcome: 18.13 Bloom's Taxonomy: Analyzing 171) Describe the tissue layers of the pericardium. (Module 18.3B) Answer: The pericardium consists of a fibrous pericardium and two-layered serious pericardium. The parietal layer of the serous pericardium lines the outer wall of the pericardial cavity. A mesothelium lines the pericardial cavity, and an underlying layer of areolar tissue is in contact with the fibrous tissue of the fibrous pericardium. The visceral layer of the serous pericardium has an outer mesothelium and an underlying layer of areolar tissue that attaches directly to the myocardium.

173) List the arteries and veins of the heart. (Module 18.5C) Answer: Arteries: left coronary artery, anterior interventricular artery, right coronary artery, marginal arteries, circumflex artery, and posterior interventricular artery. Veins: great cardiac vein, anterior cardiac veins, posterior vein of left ventricle, middle cardiac vein, and small cardiac vein. Learning Outcome: 18.5 Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering 174) Describe the structural and functional roles of the cardiac skeleton. (Module 18.7B) Answer: Structurally, the cardiac skeleton stabilizes the position of the heart valves and ventricular muscle cells; functionally, it electrically isolates the atrial and ventricular myocardia. Learning Outcome: 18.7 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 175) Is the heart always pumping blood when pressure in the left ventricle is rising? Explain. (Module 18.10C) Answer: No. When pressure in the left ventricle first rises, the heart is contracting, but blood is not leaving the heart. During this initial phase of contraction, called the period of isovolumetric contraction, both the AV valves and the semilunar valves are closed. The increase in pressure is the result of the cardiac muscle contracting. When the pressure in the ventricle exceeds that in the aorta, the aortic semilunar valves are forced open, and blood is rapidly ejected from the ventricle. Learning Outcome: 18.10 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 176) Describe slow calcium channels and the significance of their activity. (Module 18.11C) Answer: Slow calcium channels are voltage-gated calcium channels that open slowly and remain open for a relatively long period — about 175 msec. When they are open, the entry of calcium ions into the cell roughly balances the loss of sodium ions through the active transport of sodium ions. As a result, the membrane potential remains near 0 mV for an extended period. Learning Outcome: 18.11 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 177) Why is it important for impulses from the atria to be delayed at the AV node before they pass into the ventricles? (Module 18.12C) Answer: If the impulses from the atria were not delayed at the AV node, they would be conducted through the ventricles so quickly by the bundle branches and Purkinje cells that the ventricles would begin contracting before the atria had finished contracting. As a result, the ventricles would not be as full of blood as they could be, and the pumping action of the heart would be less efficient. Learning Outcome: 18.12 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding

178) Define end-diastolic volume (EDV) and end-systolic volume (ESV). (Module 18.15A) Answer: The end-diastolic volume (EDV) is the amount of blood a ventricle contains at the end of diastole, just before a contraction begins; the end-systolic volume (ESV) is the amount of blood that remains in the ventricle at the end of ventricular systole. Learning Outcome: 18.15 Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering 179) What effect would an increase in sympathetic stimulation of the heart have on the endsystolic volume (ESV)? (Module 18.15C) Answer: An increase in sympathetic stimulation of the heart would increase heart rate and force of contraction. The end-systolic volume (ESV) is the amount of blood that remains in a ventricle after a contraction (systole). The more forcefully the heart contracts, the more blood it ejects. Therefore, increased sympathetic stimulation results in a lower ESV. Learning Outcome: 18.15 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying

Essay Questions 228) Compare the structure and function of arteries, veins, and capillaries. Answer: Arteries and veins both contain three tunics or layers in their walls (intima, media and externa) while capillary walls are comprised of only endothelial cells within a basement membrane. Artery walls are thicker than vein walls, allowing them to withstand the changing arterial pressure as the heart beats. Veins contain valves that aid in the return of blood to the heart. Capillary walls are necessarily thin, facilitating the exchange of materials between the blood and the surrounding tissues. Learning Outcome: 19.2 Bloom's Taxonomy: Analyzing 229) During exercise, the blood flow to the active skeletal muscles is increased by autoregulation. How does this work? What other controls on blood flow operate? Answer: When a skeletal muscle becomes more active, it consumes oxygen and nutrients and releases carbon dioxide, waste products, and potassium ion. One effect of reduced oxygen is to cause precapillary sphincters to relax. As it relaxes, the capillary opens and plasma and red cells can perfuse the active tissue. After recovery from exercise is complete, gases and metabolites return to normal and blood flow returns to its resting value. This local mechanism works along with central control of vasodilation by the sympathetic vasodilator fibers that appear to utilize nitric oxide (NO) as the transmitter substance. Learning Outcome: 19.10 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying 230) Compare the hearts of a trained athlete and a non-athlete. Answer: The athlete's heart will be more massive, and will have a higher resting stroke volume and a lower resting heart rate. During maximum activity, stroke volume will be much greater for the athlete, and cardiac output of the athlete may approach 30 liters/minute compared to 20 liters/minute of the non-athlete. Maximum heart rates will be about the same despite the much larger cardiac output, due to the larger stroke volume. Learning Outcome: 19.12 Bloom's Taxonomy: Analyzing 231) If a wound overwhelms the clotting mechanism and leads to serious hemorrhage and drop in blood pressure, what compensations does the body have to defend cardiac output? Answer: Acutely, the autonomic nervous system undergoes sympathetic activation. Epinephrine from the suprarenal medulla supports the neural mechanisms. Heart rate and contractility are increased from trying to maintain cardiac output. Vasoconstriction increases peripheral resistance, raising blood pressure and redirecting flow to vital internal organs. Simultaneously, venoconstriction occurs, increasing venous return and forcing extra blood from the venous to the arterial side of the circulation. The endocrine system releases ADH, angiotensin II, and aldosterone, which act together to raise blood volume by reducing fluid loss at the kidney. Learning Outcome: 19.13 Bloom's Taxonomy: Analyzing

Learning Outcome: 19.17 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 234) Define blood flow, and describe its relationship to blood pressure and peripheral resistance. (Module 19.7A) Answer: Blood flow is the volume of blood flowing per unit of time through a vessel or group of vessels; it is directly proportional to arterial pressure (increased pressure results in increased blood flow) and inversely proportional to peripheral resistance (increased resistance results in decreased blood flow). Learning Outcome: 19.7 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 235) In a healthy person, where is blood pressure greater: in the aorta or in the inferior vena cava? Explain. (Module 19.7B) Answer: Blood pressure is greater in the aorta than in the inferior vena cava.

237) Explain the function of baroreceptor reflexes. (Module 19.9C) Answer: Baroreceptor reflexes respond to changes in blood pressure. The baroreceptors — located in the walls of the carotid sinuses and aortic arch — monitor the degree of stretch at those sites. When blood pressure increases, the cardiac centers decrease cardiac output and the vasomotor center is inhibited, resulting in vasodilation; when blood pressure decreases, the cardiac centers increase cardiac output and the vasomotor center is stimulated, resulting in vasoconstriction. Learning Outcome: 19.9 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 238) What is the function of chemoreceptor reflexes? (Module 19.11B) Answer: Chemoreceptor reflexes respond to decreasing pH and oxygen levels in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by adjusting cardiovascular and respiratory activity. These reflexes stimulate responses by the cardiovascular centers to increase blood pressure through vasoconstriction and increased cardiac output and stimulate responses by the respiratory centers to increase the respiratory rate, which increases pH and oxygen levels and decreases CO2 levels. Learning Outcome: 19.11 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 239) Describe the changes in cardiac output and blood flow during exercise. (Module 19.12B) Answer: During exercise, cardiac output increases, and blood flow to skeletal muscles increases at the expense of blood flow to less essential organs. Unless compensatory vasoconstriction occurs in "less essential" organs, such as those of the digestive system, vasodilation in skeletal muscles would cause a potentially dangerous decrease in blood pressure and blood flow throughout the body during exercise. Learning Outcome: 19.12 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 240) Identify the compensatory mechanisms that respond to blood loss. (Module 19.13A) Answer: compensatory mechanisms that respond to blood loss include an increase in cardiac output, a mobilization of venous blood reservoir, peripheral vasoconstriction, and the release of hormones that promote the retention of fluids and the maturation of erythrocytes. Learning Outcome: 19.13 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 241) Describe circulatory shock, progressive shock, and irreversible shock. (Module 19.13C) Answer: Circulatory shock occurs when blood loss exceeds about 35 percent of the total blood volume. Circulatory shock involves a series of positive feedback loops that are initiated after homeostasis has been disrupted. Progressive shock is the next stage after circulatory shock. It, too, is a series of positive feedback loops that accelerate tissue damage. Irreversible shock is the fatal stage that occurs if the positive feedback loops initiated during progressive shock are not broken. Learning Outcome: 19.13 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding

173) Explain how an NK cell would destroy a cancer cell. Identify the portion of the NK cell that plays a key role in this abnormal-cell destruction. Answer: Step 1: A cell may have unusual components in its plasma membrane and the NK cell recognizes that cell as abnormal. This recognition activates the NK cell, which then adheres to its target cell. Step 2: The Golgi apparatus moves around the nucleus until the maturing face points directly toward the abnormal cell. A flood of secretory vesicles is then produced at the Golgi apparatus. These vesicles, which contain proteins called perforins, travel through the cytoplasm toward the cell surface. Step 3: The perforins are released at the cell surface by exocytosis and diffuse across the narrow gap separating the NK cell from its target. Step 4: As a result of the pores made by perforin molecules, the target cell can no longer maintain its internal environment, and it quickly disintegrates. Learning Outcome: 20.11 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 174) List and briefly describe the four general properties of immunity.

(4) Tolerance: Some antigens, such as those on your own cells, do not elicit an immune response. Learning Outcome: 20.14 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 175) You are a researcher interested in studying the cytoskeleton. How can you use antibodies to locate actin- and tubulin-containing structures? Answer: Since those cytoskeletal components are proteins, it is possible to immunize an animal with foreign proteins isolated from tissues. For example, a rabbit could be immunized with the actin and tubulin purified from tissues of the chicken, a very distant relative of the rabbit. Those antibodies could be purified from the rabbit's blood and then linked to fluorescent tags. When the cells are exposed to the anti-actin and anti-tubulin antibodies, they will stick to those molecules in the cell. If different colored dyes were used to tag the antibodies, it would be possible to localize those cytoskeletal proteins in the same cell.

177) What are the functions of the spleen? (Module 20.7A) Answer: Functions of the spleen include (1) removing abnormal blood cells and other blood components by phagocytosis, (2) storing iron recycled from the red blood cells, and (3) initiating immune responses by B cells and T cells in response to antigens in the bloodstream. Learning Outcome: 20.7 Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering 178) How does innate immunity protect us from disease? (Module 20.8B) Answer: Innate immunity protects us from disease by using physical barriers such as kin, phagocytes that engulf pathogens, immune surveillance of abnormal cells, interferons to defend from viruses, complement to assist antibodies, inflammation to limit the spread of infection, and fever. Learning Outcome: 20.8 Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering 179) How does the integumentary system protect the body? (Module 20.9A) Answer: The integumentary system provides a physical barrier that is the first line of defense in preventing pathogens and toxins from entering body tissues.

183) Define sensitization. (Module 20.17B) Answer: Sensitization is the process by which a B cell prepares to undergo activation after encountering a specific antigen. During sensitization, the specific antigens bound to membrane antibodies are brought into the cell by endocytosis, where the antigens then become bound to class II MHC proteins. Together, they then appear at the cell surface. Learning Outcome: 20.17 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 184) Describe the structure of an antibody. (Module 20.18A) Answer: An antibody molecule consists of two parallel pairs of polypeptide chains: a pair of long, heavy chains and a pair of short, light chains. Each chain contains both constant segments and variable segments. The constant segments of the heavy chains form the base of the antibody molecule; the free tips of each of the two variable segments form the antigen-binding sites. Learning Outcome: 20.18 Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering 185) List the ways that antigen-antibody complexes can destroy target antigens. (Module 20.19A) Answer: Antigen-antibody complexes help destroy antigens through seven processes: neutralization, prevention of pathogen adhesion, activation of complement, opsonization, attraction of phagocytes, stimulation of inflammation, and precipitation and agglutination. Learning Outcome: 20.19 Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering 186) Provide a plausible explanation for the increased incidence of cancer in the elderly.

Essay Questions 188) What are the primary functions of the respiratory system? Answer: (1) Provide an extensive area for gas exchange between inhaled air and the circulation; (2) move air to and from the exchange surfaces of the lungs; (3) protect the respiratory surfaces from dehydration, temperature changes, and other environmental variations and defend the respiratory system and other tissues from invasion by pathogens; (4) produce sounds involved in speaking, singing, or nonverbal auditory communication; (5) direct incoming air to the olfactory epithelium in support of olfaction. Learning Outcome: 21.1 Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering 189) Ralph is taking scuba diving classes and is warned not to hold his breath when ascending from depth but to continuously release air from his mouth. What is the basis of this instruction, and what is the risk if it is ignored? Answer: When breathing underwater with scuba equipment, gas is supplied by the tank at higher than atmospheric pressure to overcome the extra pressure imposed by the overlying water. According to Boyle's Law, during ascent when the pressure falls, the volume of gas contained in the lungs will expand. If not permitted to escape through the mouth, it will damage the lung, sending air into the bloodstream. A massive air embolism in the pulmonary arteries could be suddenly fatal. Learning Outcome: 21.9, 21.12 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying 190) Why can cystic fibrosis become lethal? (Module 21.2C) Answer: Cystic fibrosis causes production of dense mucus that restricts respiratory passages and accumulates in the lungs.

193) Describe the structure and function of the blood air barrier. (Module 21.7B) Answer: The blood air barrier is made up of the fused basement membranes of the alveolar epithelium and capillary endothelium. Because it is very thin and oxygen and carbon dioxide are lipid soluble, diffusion occurs rapidly across the membrane. Learning Outcome: 21.7 Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering 194) Define external respiration, gas diffusion, and internal respiration. (Module 21.8A) Answer: External respiration is all the processes involved in the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood, lungs, and the external environment. Gas diffusion is the movement of O2 and CO2 across the blood air barrier between alveolar air spaces and alveolar capillaries and across capillary walls between blood and other tissues. Internal respiration is the absorption of O2 from blood and the release of CO2 by tissue cells. Learning Outcome: 21.8 Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering 195) How does the respiratory minute volume differ from alveolar ventilation? (Module 21.11B) Answer: Respiratory minute volume is the amount of air moved into and out of the respiratory tract each minute, whereas alveolar ventilation is the amount of air reaching the alveoli each minute. Because some of the air never reaches the alveoli but instead remains in the anatomic dead space, alveolar ventilation is lower than respiratory minute volume. Learning Outcome: 21.11 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 196) Explain the decrease in PO2 from the pulmonary venules to the blood arriving in the peripheral capillaries of the systemic circuit. (Module 21.12C) Answer: The PO2 decreases from about 100 mm Hg to 95 mm Hg in the pulmonary veins as it mixes with venous blood from capillaries surrounding the conducting passageways. Learning Outcome: 21.12 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 197) How would blockage of the trachea affect blood pH? (Module 21.14C) Answer: Blockage of the trachea would interfere with the body's ability to take in oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide. Because most carbon dioxide is transported in blood as bicarbonate ions formed from the dissociation of carbonic acid, an inability to eliminate carbon dioxide would result in a buildup of excess hydrogen ions, which would decrease blood pH. Learning Outcome: 21.14 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying 198) Compare chronic bronchitis with emphysema. (Module 21.15C) Answer: Chronic bronchitis is a long-term inflammation of the mucous membrane in the bronchial tubes; emphysema is a condition in which the alveolar surfaces of the lungs are destroyed and alveoli merge, which reduces respiratory surface area and oxygen absorption, causing breathlessness. Learning Outcome: 21.15 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 53


199) Johnny is angry, so he tells his mom that he will hold his breath until he turns blue and dies. Explain whether this will likely happen. (Module 21.17C) Answer: This is unlikely to happen.

How would each of these components be digested? Where within the digestive system would they be digested? Are any accessory organs involved? Answer: Digestion begins in the oral cavity. Food triggers saliva from the parotids, rich in amylase, and from the submandibulars, rich in mucus. The tongue and teeth cooperate to mix all together and form a bolus. Digestion of fats and starch begins due to lingual lipase and salivary amylase. Swallowing reflexes send it to the stomach. Acid and pepsin greet the bolus. Peptides form from the wheat proteins due to action of pepsin. It then travels into the small intestine, where pancreatic lipase and amylase complete fat and starch digestion. Pancreatic enzymes reduce peptides to amino acids. The salt in the cracker is absorbed, and fatty acids diffuse into the epithelial cells because of their lipid character. Fat goes to lacteals and sugars and proteins go to the capillaries. Learning Outcome: 22.6, 22.11, 22.19, 22.22 Bloom's Taxonomy: Analyzing 250) What local reflexes control the GI tract? Answer: The GI tract has extensive sensory and motor neuron plexuses that communicate along the entire length of the digestive tube. The gastroileal reflex is triggered by stomach distension, causing food to move from the ileum into the colon. Similarly, stomach stretch can trigger reflex mass movements that send chyme into the rectum, promoting a sense of urgency. Another is the gastroenteric reflex, also initiated by stretch receptors in the stomach that stimulates motility and secretion along the entire small intestine. The enterogastric reflex causes the emptying and other movements of the stomach to pause for a few moments when gastric contents contact the duodenal mucosa. This is a good example of local autonomic regulation. Learning Outcome: 22.15 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding

251) Leon has gallstones. His doctor puts him on a diet low in fat. Why? Answer: The gallbladder functions to concentrate and store bile produced by the liver. In this capacity, the gallbladder reabsorbs water from the bile. Since bile salts are produced from cholesterol, these salts will be precipitated as cholesterol-like gallstones if too much water is reabsorbed. Whenever bile is released by the gallbladder in response to the presence of fats in the duodenum, the smooth muscle in the wall of the gallbladder must contract. This generates severe pain if the cystic duct or common bile duct is blocked by gallstones. To minimize or prevent this pain Leon's doctor prescribes a low-fat diet: less fat in the diet, less contraction of the gallbladder, and less pain.

Learning Outcome: 22.15 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 255) Describe the two positive feedback loops involved in the defecation reflex. (Module 22.17C) Answer: The two positive feedback loops in the defecation reflex are (1) the short intrinsic myenteric defecation reflex, whereby stretch receptors in the rectal walls promote a series of peristaltic contractions in the sigmoid colon and rectum, moving feces toward the anus; and (2) the long parasympathetic defecation reflex, whereby parasympathetic motor neurons in the sacral spinal cord, also activated by stretch receptors, stimulate mass movements that push feces toward the rectum from the descending colon and sigmoid colon. Defecation occurs with the voluntary relaxation of the external anal sphincter. Learning Outcome: 22.17 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 66

Essay Questions 132) Why is the citric acid cycle called a cycle? What substances enter the cycle, and what substances leave it? Answer: The citric acid cycle reaction sequence is a cycle because the four-carbon starting compound (oxaloacetic acid) is regenerated at the end. Acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetic acid begin the cycle by combining to form citric acid, and then in a series of steps CO2, NADH, ATP, and FADH2 are released and oxaloacetic acid is regenerated to begin the cycle again. Learning Outcome: 23.4 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 133) Briefly outline the role of the liver in glucose metabolism. Answer: During the absorptive state, under insulin control, the liver takes in glucose and converts it to glycogen, the inert storage form. In the postabsorptive state, the liver releases glucose into the circulation to maintain homeostasis. The glucose comes from the glycogenolysis or gluconeogenesis. Additionally, the liver converts lactic acid released from skeletal muscle back into glucose. Epinephrine, growth hormone, glucagon, glucocorticoids, and other hormones trigger glucose release. Learning Outcome: 23.7, 23.9, 23.10 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 134) "Beans, beans, the musical fruit! The more you eat, the more you 'toot'!" Explain the reason why eating beans in particular causes intestinal gas. Answer: Intestinal enzymes do not alter indigestible carbohydrates such as cellulose, so they arrive in the colon virtually intact. These carbohydrates provide a reliable nutrient source for bacteria in the colon, whose metabolic activities generate small quantities of intestinal gas (flatus). Foods that contain large amounts of indigestible carbohydrates, like beans, stimulate bacterial gas production, leading to distension of the colon, cramps, and the frequent discharge of intestinal gases. Learning Outcome: 23.9 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 135) Ketosis develops in the postabsorptive state. What is ketosis? Why does it develop? What metabolic effects does it have? Answer: Ketosis is a high concentration of ketone bodies in body fluids. Ketone bodies are metabolites with the ketone group that form during starvation states. When glucose levels are low, the liver turns to fats and amino acids to make energy. This produces much acetyl-CoA, which leads to production of ketone bodies. Because most ketone bodies are acidic, they lower the pH of body fluids. If severe, the ketosis can injure the CNS, heart, and other organs. In extreme cases, death can result.

136) You are sitting by the pool in your bathing suit. There is no wind, and you feel quite warm. After a brief swim, you exit the pool to discover that someone stole your towel. Moreover, the wind is blowing, and you feel very cold. Compare and define the processes of heat loss from the skin that are occurring before and after your swim. Answer: Before the swim, heat is being lost from the skin by conduction, which is the transfer of heat from the skin to the surrounding air. After the swim, conduction is still occurring. The skin is wet; thus, evaporation of water will contribute to heat loss. The wind will cause more heat to be lost by convection, in which moving air carries additional heat away from the skin. Learning Outcome: 23.19 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying 137) Explain the role of vasodilation and vasoconstriction in thermoregulation. Answer: In response to high body temperature, inhibition of the vasomotor center causes vasodilation of peripheral vessels, and warm blood flows to the surface of the body. Skin temperatures rise and radiational and convective losses increase, thereby reducing body temperature. Conversely, in response to low body temperature, the vasomotor center decreases blood flow to the dermis, the skin cools, thereby reducing losses by radiation and convection. Learning Outcome: 23.20 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 138) Why is digestion important? (Module 23.8A) Answer: Digestion is important because cells throughout the body rely on the organic molecules we eat to produce energy and to replenish the intracellular nutrient pool. Learning Outcome: 23.8 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 139) What does the liver do with the chylomicrons it receives? (Module 23.10B) Answer: The liver absorbs chylomicrons, removes the triglycerides, combines the cholesterol from the chylomicron with recycled cholesterol, and alters the surface proteins. Newly synthesized complexes are released into the bloodstream as low-density lipoproteins (LDL) or very low density lipoproteins (VLDLs). Learning Outcome: 23.10 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 140) Describe the role of CCK release and its effects on proteins. (Module 23.12A) Answer: The arrival of acidic chyme in the duodenum triggers the release of CCK, which stimulates the production and release of inactive pancreatic proenzymes. Enteropeptidase, released from the duodenum, converts the pancreatic proenzyme trypsinogen into the proteolytic enzyme trypsin. Trypsin then converts other proenzymes to yield chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase, and elastase. Each of these enzymes attacks peptide bonds that link specific amino acids while ignoring others. As a result, they break down proteins into a mixture of dipeptides, tripeptides, and amino acids. Learning Outcome: 23.12 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding

Answer: Consisting of the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra, the urinary system has three primary functions: (1) excretion, the removal of organic waste products from body fluids, (2) elimination, the discharge of these waste products into the environment, and (3) homeostatic regulation of the volume and solute concentration of blood plasma. The excretory and homeostatic regulation functions of the urinary system are performed by the two kidneys that produce urine, a fluid containing water, ions, and small soluble compounds. Urine leaving the kidneys flows along paired tubes called ureters to the urinary bladder, a muscular sac for temporary storage of urine. On being forced out of the urinary bladder, urine passes through the urethra to the exterior. The urinary bladder and the urethra are responsible for the elimination of urine, a process called urination or micturition. Learning Outcome: 24.1, 24.4, 24.6, 24.13, 24.16 Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering 140) Physicians often ask for urine samples collected over a 24-hour period, rather than a single sample. Why? Answer: Often the information needed for a diagnosis is the amount of a substance being lost per day and not simply its concentration in the urine. Because the amount of water present in the urine varies throughout the day, the only reliable way to estimate quantities per day is measure both average concentration (g/ml) and the total volume (ml/day). The product of these two quantities is the amount per day (g/day). Learning Outcome: 24.12, 24.13 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 39

146) Explain why patients on dialysis often receive Epogen or Procrit, synthetic forms of erythropoietin. (Module 24.14C) Answer: Patients on dialysis are often given Epogen or Procrit (synthetic forms of erythropoietin) to treat anemia, which occurs because their malfunctioning kidneys produce too little erythropoietin. Erythropoietin is the hormone that stimulates the development of red blood cells in the red bone marrow. Learning Outcome: 24.14 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying 147) Why is urinary obstruction at the urethra more dangerous than at the ureter? (Module 24.18B) Answer: Urinary obstruction at the urethra is more dangerous than urinary obstruction in the ureter because urine would be prevented from exiting the body and would build up in the urinary bladder, leading to rupture of the urinary bladder. Obstruction of a ureter would interfere with the flow of urine between the kidney and the urinary bladder. Obstruction of only one of the two ureters is less hazardous than obstruction of two urethrae because the kidney could still excrete wastes that could be voided.

Answer: A Learning Outcome: 25.10 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding Essay Questions 71) The maintenance of normal volume and composition of extracellular and intracellular fluids is vital to life. List and briefly describe the kinds of homeostasis involved. Answer: Three types of homeostasis are involved: fluid balance, electrolyte balance, and acidbase balance. Fluid balance means that the total quantity of body water remains almost constant and that the distribution between the intracellular fluid and extracellular fluid are normal. Electrolyte balance implies the same thing for ions. Acid-base balance means that the pH of the extracellular fluid is maintained in the range of 7.35 to 7.45, and that gains or losses of hydrogen ion as a consequence of metabolism are followed by equivalent losses or gains so as to maintain constant buffer reserves. Learning Outcome: 25.2, 25.4, 25.5, 25.7 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 72) Why does potassium concentration rise in patients with acidosis? What is this called? What effects does it have? Answer: When pH is low, hydrogen ion levels in the blood are high and also in the interstitial and peritubular fluid. Hydrogen ion competes with potassium ion for the sodium countercurrent exchanger in the tubules. As hydrogen ion secretion rises (which compensates for the acidosis), potassium is retained and hyperkalemia develops. If severe enough, muscle cramps and cardiac arrhythmias result.

73) Fred has emphysema, a form of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Blood tests show that his pH is low but almost normal, yet his bicarbonate levels are elevated significantly. How can this be? What would urinalysis show? Answer: Emphysema limits ventilation in the alveoli of the lungs, leading to increased carbon dioxide in Fred's body. Because Fred's condition is chronic, his body has compensated for the excess carbonic acid (the result of hypercapnia due to poor ventilation) by increasing the amount of bicarbonate to match the elevated level of hydrogen ion. This compensation for respiratory acidosis was accomplished by the kidney's secretion of hydrogen ion in both the proximal and distal convoluted tubules and the retention of bicarbonate from the elevated carbonic acid. Urinalysis would indicate a very low pH and high levels of ammonia, produced by the distal tubule to absorb the secreted hydrogen ion.

Answer: In males, the gonads (testes) secrete androgens and produce hundreds of millions of gametes (sperm) each day. The sperm are mixed with secretions, forming semen, and are expelled from the body during ejaculation into the female. In females, the gonads (ovaries) secrete estrogen and progesterone and release a single ovum (gamete) every month. The vagina receives the penis during sexual intercourse and the ejaculate is deposited near the external os of the uterus. If the ovum is fertilized and implants in the endometrium, the female's body nourishes the development of the embryo and fetus until birth. Learning Outcome: 26.3, 26.4, 26.5, 26.6, 26.10, 26.13, 26.14 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 191) How does mitosis differ from meiosis? Answer: All body cells that divide, except those destined to be gametes, use mitosis to replicate the set of chromosomes and pass a complete diploid set of chromosomes (23 pairs, total of 46 for humans) to each daughter cell. In meiosis, each daughter cell receives half that many chromosomes, only one from each pair (23 chromosomes), the haploid complement. Meiosis occurs in two stages, meiosis I and meiosis II, whereas mitosis occurs in a single stage. In meiosis I, the homologous pairs stick to each other in synapsis, giving the process of gene exchange to scramble the genome as a tetrad. In meiosis II, each dyad is separated, leading to another pair of daughter cells with a haploid number of chromosomes. Learning Outcome: 26.3, 26.10 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying 49


192) Imagine that a seven-year-old girl develops a hormone-secreting ovarian tumor derived from granulosa cells. What signs of the disease would you expect?

Important events include (1) formation of primary ovarian follicles from primordial ovarian follicles in an egg nest, (2) formation of secondary ovarian follicles, and (3) formation of tertiary ovarian follicles. During the monthly ovarian cycle one tertiary ovarian follicle matures, releases a secondary oocyte at ovulation, and forms a corpus luteum, which will degenerate into a corpus albicans if fertilization doesn't occur. Learning Outcome: 26.10 Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering 196) What are the main differences in gamete production between males and females? (Module 26.10C) Answer: Males produce gametes from puberty until death; females produce gametes from puberty until menopause.

Essay Questions 127) List and briefly characterize the three trimesters of gestation. Answer: For convenience, we think of the gestation period as consisting of three integrated trimesters, each lasting 3 months in duration: (1) The first trimester is the period of embryonic and early fetal development. During this period, the rudiments of all the major organ systems appear. (2) The second trimester is dominated by the development of organs and organ systems, a process that nears completion by the end of the sixth month. During this period, body shape and proportions change; by the end of this trimester, the fetus looks distinctively human. (3) The third trimester is characterized by the largest fetal weight gain and deposition of adipose tissue. Early in the third trimester, most of the fetus's major organ systems become fully functional. Learning Outcome: 27.1, 27.8 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 128) Outline the events that take place between exposure of the oocyte to spermatozoa and formation of the first blastomere pair. Answer: Powerful acrosomal hydrolases released from the sperm head create openings between adherent granulosa cells (the corona radiata) and penetrate the zona pellucida. A solitary sperm penetrates to the oocyte membrane to which it fuses, sending its nucleus into the oocyte. This is the moment of fertilization. This triggers maturation of the haploid maternal pronucleus, followed by development of the male pronucleus. These then fuse in the act of amphimixis, the true combining of maternal and paternal haploid chromosome sets to form a unique diploid set of 46. Spindle fibers organize the chromosomes on the metaphase plate after the nuclear envelopes break down. After mitosis is complete, cytokinesis takes place, dividing the original zygote into two daughter cells or pair of blastomeres. This takes more than 30 hours to complete. Learning Outcome: 27.2 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 129) A new mother tells you that when she nurses her baby, she feels as if she is having menstrual cramps. How would you explain this phenomenon? Answer: During nursing, the mechanical stimulus of suckling triggers a neural reflex that leads to the release of oxytocin from the posterior pituitary. Oxytocin enters the bloodstream and stimulates contractile cells that surround the secretory cells in the mammary glands to contract and move milk into the lactiferous sinuses–the milk let-down reflex. Oxytocin also stimulates smooth muscle cells of the myometrium, so the rise in oxytocin sometimes leads to uterine contractions as well, producing a feeling similar to menstrual cramping. The uterine contractions help stop uterine bleeding after delivery. Learning Outcome: 27.11 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying 130) Explain the effect of testosterone on the male respiratory system at puberty. Answer: Testosterone stimulates growth of the larynx and a thickening and lengthening of the vocal cords. These changes cause a gradual deepening of the voice in males.

131) Describe the blastocyst and its role in implantation. (Module 27.3C) Answer: The blastocyst consists of an outer trophoblast and an inner cell mass. Implantation begins about 6 to 9 days after fertilization, when the blastocyst adheres to the uterine lining, or endometrium. The trophoblast cells in contact with the uterine lining divide and form a syncytiotrophoblast that erodes the endometrial lining. Nutrients from uterine glands are absorbed by the syncytiotrophoblast and distributed by diffusion through the cytotrophoblast to the inner cell mass. The blastocyst becomes enclosed within the endometrium by about 10 days after fertilization. Learning Outcome: 27.3 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 132) From which germ layers do the extra-embryonic membranes form, and what are each membrane's functions? (Module 27.5B) Answer: The yolk sac forms from the endoderm and mesoderm; it is an important site of blood cell formation. The amnion forms from the ectoderm and mesoderm; it encloses the fluid that surrounds and cushions the developing embryo and fetus. The allantois forms from the endoderm and mesoderm; its base gives rise to the urinary bladder. The chorion forms from the mesoderm and cytotrophoblast; it surrounds the blastocoele. Learning Outcome: 27.5 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying 133) Compare the body stalk with the yolk stalk. (Module 27.6B) Answer: The body stalk is the connection between the embryo and the chorion; it contains portions of the allantois and blood vessels that carry blood to and from the placenta. The yolk stalk is the connection between the endoderm of the embryo and the yolk sac. Learning Outcome: 27.6 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 134) Name the hormones synthesized by the syncytiotrophoblast. (Module 27.7A) Answer: The hormones synthesized by the syncytiotrophoblast are human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), human placental lactogen (hPL), placental prolactin, relaxin, progesterone and estrogens Learning Outcome: 27.7 Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering 135) Identify the general events of fetal development during the second and third trimesters. (Module 27.8B) Answer: In the second trimester, the organ systems increase in complexity. During the third trimester, many of the organ systems become fully functional.

136) Based on the illustrations showing the locations of the internal organs in nonpregnant and pregnant women, explain why some pregnant women experience difficulty breathing. (Module 27.9C) Answer: Some pregnant women experience difficulty breathing because the enlarged uterus presses up against the abdominal organs and the diaphragm, crowding the lungs. Learning Outcome: 27.9 Bloom's Taxonomy: Applying 137) Name the three stages of labor, and describe the events that characterize each stage. (Module 27.10C) Answer: The dilation stage begins with the onset of true labor as the cervix dilates and the fetus begins to move toward the cervical canal; later in this stage, the amnion ruptures. The expulsion stage begins as the cervix dilates completely and continues until the fetus has completely emerged from the vagina (delivery). In the placental stage, the uterus gradually contracts, tearing the connections between the endometrium and the placenta and ejecting the placenta (also referred to as the afterbirth). Learning Outcome: 27.10 Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering 138) Explain the difference between colostrum and breast milk. (Module 27.11A) Answer: Colostrum contains antibodies and is produced by the mammary glands from the end of the 6th month of pregnancy until a few days after delivery. After that, the glands begin producing breast milk, which contains antibodies and lysozyme but has a higher fat content than colostrum. Learning Outcome: 27.11 Bloom's Taxonomy: Understanding 139) Name the stages of postnatal development, and describe the time frame involved for each stage. (Module 27.12A) Answer: The postnatal stages of development are the neonatal period, from birth to 1 month; infancy, from 1 month to age 1 year; childhood, from age 1 year until sexual maturation begins; adolescence, which begins with the onset of sexual maturation (puberty) between ages 10 and 15 years and ends when growth in body size is completed (around 18 years); and maturity, which includes the rest of the person's life. A final stage called senescence, or aging, overlaps with maturity. Learning Outcome: 27.12 Bloom's Taxonomy: Remembering 140) Distinguish between genotype and phenotype. (Module 27.14A) Answer: Chromosomes and their component genes make up the genotype. Anatomical or physiological characteristics from the expression of genes make up the phenotype.
