A) The total volume of air in Jeffrey’s lungs is 5800 mL. If his IC is 3200 and his RV is 1000, calculate his ERV and FRC.

B) The total volume of air Sally can inhale after a quiet exhalation is 3400 mL. When Sally is sitting still she inhales 400 mL and there is 2200 mL left in her lungs. Calculate or figure out from the information given in the question the following values TV, TLC, IC,   FRC, IRV. ?

C) When at rest Jeremy inspires and expires 600 mL. While his lungs can hold 7000 mL of air only 5500 mL can move in and out, if he really, really tries. Normally, there is 3400 mL of air left in his lungs after a quiet expiration. Calculate or figure out TV, ERV, TLC, IC, FRC, IRV, RV.

Distributive shock is the result of whole-body vasodilation and increased vascular permeability. The most common form of distributive shock results from a severe whole-body allergic reaction called anaphylaxis, or a severe infection in the blood known as sepsis. In addition to constriction of the airways, chemicals such as histamine and cytokines which are released during the reaction cause systemic vasodilation and increased blood vessel permeability.

a. Describe how this would be dangerous to the survival of brain tissue. Your answer should include the consequences of respiratory impact, systemic vasodilation, and vascular permeability. (75-125 words)
b. During prolonged steroid treatment, the adrenal glands drastically reduce cortisol production. One of the many roles of cortisol is to upregulate alpha-1 receptors in the body. How could distributive shock occur if a patient who had been on long-term steroids was suddenly taken off them? (2-3 sentences)

  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?

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

  1. Signs and symptoms of disease: you can have seizures coma hallucinations or possibly even death
  2. 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
  3. How can this infection be prevented in humans?
  4. Type of parasite (bacteria, protozoan, fungus, helminth, insect, virus):
  5. Scientific name of parasite (properly formatted):
  6. How does this parasite evade the host’s immune system?
  7. 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.):
