1. We visually are not aware of a “blind spot” when both eyes are open because____?

1. the other eye is redundant so there is no need for it.
2. your eyes have different focal points and thus would give different answers.
3. light stimuli excite the same point on both retinas.
4. the blind spots of our eyes are not on corresponding points.
5. None of the answers are correct.

2.Sound, light, taste, touch and smell do not come in one level. We are able to describe the intensity of a stimulus (i.e. the intensity of ammonia salts or the brightness of a camera’s flash). What are the mechanisms used by the nervous system to communicate intensity via graded and action potentials?

How does hormonal control of glomerular flow rate affect cardiac output?

Visit the following links, associated with the television show Monsters Inside Me, and then complete the assignment below. Adopt the first three parasites from the Parasite Pet Shop by putting the stages of their life cycle in order. First review the Meet the Parasite link and then watch the video clips. This will help you understand, and correctly complete, the life cycle of each parasite. You can also find these links on the Meet the Microbes: Eukaryotes Lecture Main Page. Ctrl+click to follow the links below.

1. Meet the Pork Tape Worm

Video Clips “Pork Tape Worm” & “Pork Tape Worm In Brain”

1. Disease / Medical Condition: pork tapeworm
2. How do humans get contract disease (i.e. how is it transmitted)? undercooked pork that contains the cysts

3. Signs and symptoms of disease: you can have seizures coma hallucinations or possibly even death
4. Describe the course of the disease: they get infected in the human gut the cysts hatch into adult tapeworms where they can grow up to several metres long the adult worms lay eggs that are passed in human feces if a pig then eats the feces the eggs grow into cysts in its muscle tissue and the life cycle repeats
5. How can this infection be prevented in humans?
6. Type of parasite (bacteria, protozoan, fungus, helminth, insect, virus):
7. Scientific name of parasite (properly formatted):
8. How does this parasite evade the host’s immune system?
9. List the order in which you placed the life cycle circles in the Adopt a Pet Parasite game (There is a sentence associated with each of the 4 circles.):

1. Which of these answers are correct

The first heart sound, "lubb," is caused by the ________.

2. Choose the right answer:

The plateau phase of the ventricular action potential is caused by _______.

3.. How is heart rate controlled?

D.Tissue level

E. Organ system level

Diffusion of nutrients across a cell membrane can be called a form of

A patient with left hemisphere dominance underwent a complete cerebral commissurotomy. During a study the patient was fitted with special contact lenses so that light would only be seen from the left visual field. The patient was briefly shown a picture of a watermelon. The patient was then asked what they saw in the picture. Finally, the patient was shown several objects including a watermelon and other fruit and was prompted to point to the object they saw previously in the picture. How will the patient respond on these tasks?

Group of answer choices

They will be able to describe what they saw but they will not be able to accurately point with their dominant hand

They will be able to describe what they saw but they will not be able to accurately point with their nondominant hand

They will not be able to describe what they saw but they will be able to accurately point with their dominant hand

They will not be able to describe what they saw but they will be able to accurately point with their nondominant hand

A patient with basel cell carionma has palisade patterning in his biopsy. What would be the normal patterning if the cell didn't have BCC?

What is the function of coronary circulation (also known as the coronary circuit)?

a. secretion of acetylcholine by the motor neuron

b. attachment of acetylcholine to receptors on the motor end plate of the sarcolemma

c. opening of sodium channels in the sarcolemma

d. depolarization of the sarcolemma

e. action potential reaching the sarcoplasmic reticulum

f.   release of calcium ions by the sarcoplasmic reticulum

g. binding of calcium ions to troponin on the thin filament

h. binding of myosin to actin (formation of cross bridges)

i.   power stroke

Which of the following does not occur when a sarcomere contracts?

a. the thin filaments are pulled toward the center of the sarcomere

b. the lengths of the thin and thick filaments are unchanged

c. the thin and thick filaments increasingly overlap

d. the distance between the ends of the sarcomeres (Z discs) increases

e. the width of the A band is unchanged

f. the H zone and I band become narrower

_________________________________________________________________________________

Which of the following would not help a muscle cell to relax?

a. breakdown of acetylcholine by acetylcholinesterase

b. pumping calcium ions from the sarcoplasm into the sarcoplasmic reticulum

c. covering or blocking the myosin-binding sites

d. increasing the flow of sodium ions from the outside (interstitial fluid) to the inside of

     the sarcolemma

e. repolarization of the sarcolemma
