1 a. Describe the flow of blood to the kidney, to a nephron, and back to the Vena Cava.
b. Describe the flow of filtrate and the processes it undergoes between the nephron and the urinary bladder.

explain in detail how the endocrine system is reacting during
these given situations to bring the body back to homeostasis or may
be causing adverse physiological effects.
Jane was riding her horse on a warm sunny day (101 degrees
Fahrenheit) when suddenly her horse stopped and reared up in the
air. Jane was not prepared for this and fell hard backwards into
the ground. As she hit the ground Jane's leg was gashed open by a
large, sharp boulder that she fell next to. Jane began to bleed
severely. Jane's pulse seems to be low and her respiratory rate is
at 22 bpm.

How would the volume measurements (tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume, expiratory reserve volume, residual volume, vital capacity) change when one's at rest compared to when one's exercising?

Spot, a 19 year old family pet, just left spittle, meow mix and a big fur ball. Explain the physiological basis for Fluffy’s action.
In: Anatomy and Physiology
What morphometric factors would/could affect vital capacity?
If vital capacity was reduced, but tidal volume remained the same for an individual, how would it affect them? Would they notice at rest? If not, why not, and when might they notice the VC reduction?
Can I get some help with these questions?

The sympathetic nervous system uses epinephrine, or adrenaline, as a neurotransmitter and a hormone to exert its effects. These effects are often described as "fight or flight".
Answer the following prompt: Epi-pens, which contain epinephrine, are used in people who are having severe allergic reactions. Specifically, these are used to improve breathing problems. Why do you think epinephrine helps in this case? What are two other effects an epi-pen may have as a side effect? Would injecting the epi-pen be more similar to our body using epinephrine as a hormone or a neurotransmitter?Why?
