2. (a) State and explain the changes in the lung volume, the
alveolar pressure (Palv) and
airflow between the atmosphere and the lungs during passive
exhalation.
(b) What happens to the ventilation rate during exercise?
Briefly describe and explain
how the chemoreceptors work during exercise.

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.

Like all viral pathogens, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, or SARS-CoV 2 (I know, how topical), requires a cell surface receptor in order to invade a given host cell. For SARS-CoV 2, this receptor is actually the enzyme Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2, or ACE2. ACE2 is responsible for downregulation of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System by deactivation of Angiotensin II. Explain the RAAS in detail, including the roles played by kidneys and the lungs, and then explain what effects using recombinant human ACE2, or rhACE2, to treat acute respiratory distress syndrome could have on blood pressure.
