Describe the mechanism of glucose absorption in the small intestine.

What organ is physically responsible for creating force that acts to decrease the thoracic volume during expiration?

Tissues are selfish. Active tissues try to grab as much oxygen as possible.  Thus, they release substances that trigger relaxation of precapillary sphincters in order to increase blood flow through the tissue, and decrease affinity of Hb to Oxygen, so that Hb would release more Oxygen molecules. Name two substances released by active tissue that are simultaneously responsible for both mechanisms.

With regards to the respiratory system, what are the two main reasons that using a pool noodle (hollow, tube-shaped, foam pool float) to breathe under the surface of the water does not work?

Does it have to do with

1. collapse of alveoli or bronchioles due to high pressure underwater?

2. inability to do proper inspiration? if so, how exactly is inspiration not possible?

  1. 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 25 bpm. Jane's body spends the next couple hours physiologically compensating for her blood loss. Based on your knowledge of the cardiovascular system complete the following: Make a graph of Jane's cardiac output/venous return (y-axis) vs (as a function of) her central venous pressure. Provide two points on the curve that represent (A) before she fell off the horse and (B) after she fell and suffered significant bleeding. Make sure the pressures and L/min are labeled correctly one each axis. Then list any compensatory mechanisms the body is using to return the cardiac output to normal while bleeding.
  2. Sarah was recently diagnosed with an obstructive lung disorder. In their diagnostic process the doctors completed a Forced Vital Capacity test on Sarah to determine her lung function. Based on this, (A) diagram a Vital Capacity test with lung volumes for a healthy individual and on the same graph include the VC test with lung volumes for Sarah's diagnosis. The doctors also found that Sarah's oxygen saturation was at 87%. Therefore, (B) diagram an oxygen saturation curve graph that shows a normal oxygen saturation curve and a curve representing Sarah's condition.
