Peristalsis: Have you ever laughed so hard that you had your drink come out of your nose? Have you ever swallowed something so quickly and then had to cough it up because it went down the wrong pipe? This usually doesn’t happen because under normal circumstances after you swallow your food, your epiglottis closes up over your wind pipe/traches that leads down to your lungs and your soft palate lifts up to block the way to your nose. Your tongue pushes back to your pharynx and then down your esophagus. How does food travel down through your esophagus? It’s not gravity. Q: Take a small drink of water. Bend down and touch your toes and swallow the water. Why were you still able to swallow the water when you were upside down?

  1. Based on someone being sick or getting a immunization and then gaining resistance to that pathogen, make a graph representing a first exposure and second exposure to a foreign antigen with antibody production. Y axis should be antibody levels with X axis being time/exposures. Include which antibodies would be more prevalent and during which exposure (IgG, IgM, IgA,etc.)
  2. A person has a wound and a foriegn pathogen enters the body. Create something that demonstrates how the body is going to react to this situation. Include the following items in this:
    1. MHC Class I
    2. MHC Class II
    3. B Lymphocytes
    4. T Lymphocytes
    5. Neutrophils

1. Consider the urinary system
(a) What are the three basic renal processes leading to urine formation?
(b) Consider the net filtration pressure (NFP) according to the following information,
Glomerular blood hydrostatic pressure (GBHP): 90 mmHg
Capsular hydrostatic pressure (CHP): 35 mmHg
Blood colloid osmotic pressure (BCOP): 40 mmHg
Mean arterial pressure (MAP): 93 mmHg
(i) Calculate the net filtration pressure (NFP). Show your calculations.
(ii) Suppose a tumor is pressing on and obstructing the left ureter. What affect might
this have on CHP and thus on NFP in the left kidney? Would the right kidney
also be affected?
(c) Name the hormone that regulates plasma osmolarity. Briefly explain how the hormone
works in regulating plasma osmolarity and urine formation when the body has an
increase in plasma osmolarity.
