7. A blood Type A- female marries a blood Type AB+ male:
- Can the female donate blood to the male?
- What blood types can the female can accept?
- Does the female need to be concerned about hemolytic disease of the newborn? And if so, when?
Can someone please help me understand this?

The muscular system is known for that system that allows for movement. A lesser known attribute is that it is also responsible for keeping our body temperature at 98.6 degrees.

How does the kidney respond to respiratory acidosis and metabolic alkalosis? What structures and segments of the kidney are involved in returning the body back to homeostasis? How does the nephron contribute to this?
I am just trying to understand what specific parts of the kidney respond to acidosis and alkalosis. I understand the importance of using urine to dispose of bicarbonate or hydrogen ions to return the body to homeostasis. But I want to know the anatomical and physiology of this response. This is not for homework I am just curious. Thank you!

"A student new to neuroscience research made extracellular solution and is practicing recording resting membrane potentials from giant squid axons. During one of the trials, the resting membrane potential, which is normally around - 60 mV, measured -15 mV. What potential mistake might the student have made in measuring components for the extracellular solution to cause such a change?"
- This should be in a paragraph answer
- it has something to do with not being permeable enough to Na+, and too much K+ being on the outside.
- I had originally put a paragraph along the lines of putting more Na in the cell instead of having more Na outside the cell like normally, but only got 2/6 points.

The topic is: blood pressure.
Think about the parts of the homeostatic mechanism. choose one of the following real-life examples and explain how it illustrates the concept of the homeostatic mechanism. You should identify the stimulus, receptor, control center, effector, and expected results for the chosen example. You should also predict what would happen if there was a breakdown in the homeostatic mechanism. You may need to do a little bit of outside research to reply to this prompt... although you are expected to identify the basic parts of the homeostatic mechanism using your example, you are not expected to understand the mechanistic details of your example.

Which of the following statements about the association between sleep and health is false?
During sleep, the balance of hormones, enzymes, and proteins are checked for proper balance, and brain debris is removed.
Good nutrition and exercise are more important to a healthy lifestyle than sleep.
Natural immune system moderators increase during deep sleep to promote resistance to viral infections.
Growth and repair of the body's tissues occur during sleep, which help to prevent certain types of cancer.
