1. Explain the effect that pregnancy would have on a woman's ability to exercise. Particularly consider effects on the cardiovascular, respiratory, and digestive system.
2.A patient produces antibodies that target the exocrine cells in the pancreas. Describe what would happen. Specify the pathway through which this would disrupt homeostasis (include how the immune system is causing problems and how it is affecting the digestive system), and describe symptoms that could result.

Be able to describe the how a positive and negative feedback loop differ in regulating a body’s function. Then using a specific set of hormones, you learned about (you select which ones…a pair) describe how they work in a negative feedback loop. Include in your description where they are released from, what triggers each one of them to be released, what actions they have and if they have specific target tissues or are generally dispersed throughout the body. Finally, how they interact with one another. Be very specific in your answer.

What is meant by "silent hypoxia", and what does it have to do with covid-19? What is a pulse oximeter, and how is it used to detect hypoxia? draw on some different sources, but put it into your own words (at least 250 words in length.) Be sure to include at least 2 reference citations; you may use either the MLA or APA format; in the "Useful Links", click on
Note: Wikipedia is not a valid source for citations, as it is anonymous; but it is okay to look at Wikipedia, as long as you keep in mind that information found there is not necessarily accurate or comprehensive.)

The idea is to find a new or novel advancement in medicine to do with Physiology only. That is I don't want advancements in other fields e.g. immunology, genetics, cancer, microbiology and so on.
So you discuss the problem or disease including initially normal physiology followed by a description of the disease. Then discuss the novel advancement and how it is helping patients to improve their lifestyles.
The presentation should be between 5 - 6 minutes but not exceeding 6 minutes and 30 seconds.

Martha decided to make some delicious homemade baked mac and cheese. She placed it in the oven that was really hot and when it was ready she took it out. While she left for a second, her son Elijah came in the kitchen and immediately went to grab the hot dish and yelled “OOWWW I BURNT MY HAND” his pain receptors screamed.
1. Which of the following correctly described the afferent pathway?
a) Transduction of the pain occurred outside the peripheral axons of the primary afferent neuron.
b) The AP travels through the cell body then the peripheral axons then the central axon
c) The AP travels through the peripheral axons then the cell body then the central axon.
d) Two of the above
e) None of the above
2. Elijah immediately took his hand off the dish by contracting his biceps. How did he accomplish this?
a) Shortened the sarcomere by shortening the thin and thick filaments
b) While shortening the sarcomere, he lost his H zone and the A band.
c) The troponin left the tropomyosin to do its job in covering up the actin binding site so cross bridges can’t form.
d) Two of above
e) None of the above
3. Elijah was so scared and frightened that he started having trouble breathing and became really anxious. As a patient with COPD, he was having a really hard time breathing so his mom ran to get his inhaler. What did the albuterol inhaler do?
a) Albuterol binds to cholinergic receptors in the bronchioles to move more air.
b) Caused his bronchioles to constrict.
c) Risked the possibility of the albuterol binding to adrenergic receptors in the heart and cause an EPSP
d) Two of the above
e) All of the above
