2) Draw an entire CVS pulsatile model without neural feedback. Indicate what each part of the model represents. By matching this model with the phases of the ECG signal, explain how the model works in terms of mechanical-electrical synchronization. (35P)

1. If glucose is phosphorylated upon entry, how does it get out of the epithelial cell?
2. Context: referring to the basic K+ and Na+ levels of a cell and how they move in and out of it. Both ions have a positive charge. K+ is more ubundant in the cell and Na+ is more outside. The inside of the cell is more naturally negative.
If K+ is going out while Na+ is coming into the cell, why does the membrane potential(Vm) become more positive?

1. Which of the following is a good example of homeostasis?
A. Your plasma calcium concentration is 4.5mM. |
||
B. Your plasma K+ concentration has been around 4 mM for many years. |
||
C. You have a temperature of 103°F/38°C. |
||
D. You are dehydrated because of sweating heavily in a hot day. |
||
2. If your plasma sodium concentration is 141 mM, which of the following mechanisms is more likely to re-establish your electrolyte homeostasis? |
||
A. A positive feedback loop, because they produced rapid responses capable of exerting strong all-out responses that will bring your plasma sodium back to around 10 mM. |
||
B. A negative feedback loop, because they are good to minimize change. |
||
C. A negative feedback loop that triggers thirst, so that absorbed water can dilute excessive sodium |
||
D. No need to worry; 141 mM Na+ in plasma is within normal range, so your homeostasis is not being compromised. |
