Your older sister is in training for a marathon (26 mile run), and she has been experiencing acute kidney dysfunction during some of her 15-20 mile training runs. She went to the doctor, and her laboratory tests showed elevated serum concentrations of K+, lowered serum concentrations of Na+, and a decrease in the GFR. Her doctor said she may be at risk of developing renal failure during her marathon race.

Explain why these symptoms and conditions may occur while running a marathon.

Huntington's Disease is caused by an autosomal dominant allele.

Suppose a prospective father is diagnosed with this disease. His own mother also had it, but not his father.

The prospective mother has no family history of the disease.

a. What are the genotypes of these two prospective parents? (Tell how many copies of the dominant Huntington's allele the man and the woman each has.)

b. What is the probability that a child of theirs would inherit the disease? Explain.

34. Which part of the nephron are located in the renal cortex?

35. This is a dense connective tissue that surrounds the male reproductive organ which is charge for spermatogenesis.     

36. These are polygonal cells found in between the seminiferous tubules which are acidophilic, centrally located nucleus and with cytoplasm with lipid droplets. It produces hormone which promotes the development of the secondary male characteristics.    

37. What is the term given to the stratified epithelium that lines the structure where sperm are produced?       

38. These are tall columnar cells with ovoid, euchromatic nucleolus with prominent nucleolus which nourish the spermatogenic cells.   

39. This is a part of the male reproductive tract that is lined mainly by Sertoli cells.   

40. This is a part of the male reproductive tract which are interconnected network of channels lined by a single layer of cuboidal cells surrounded by dense irregular connective tissue.  

41. This is a male reproductive accessory gland consisting of highly convoluted tubules that provides the major energy source of the sperm.

42. These are small spherical masses present in the lumen of the tubuloacinar glands within a male reproductive accessory gland located below the urinary bladder

43. This is a cylindrical mass of erectile tissue found in the dorsal part of the penis.

44. This a pair of small rounded male reproductive accessory glands lined by mucus- secreting simple columnar epithelium and lubricates the urethra in preparation for the passage of sperm.

1. This is part of the heart that is under the simple squamous epithelium, fibroelastic connective tissue and some smooth muscles. This is where modified cardiac muscles are located.

2. These are structures made up of dense irregular connective tissue that acts as insulator for the flow of electric current across the heart, surrounds the cardiac valves, and where the ventricular and atrial muscles are inserted.

3. These are modified cardiac muscle that are pale staining, smaller with fewer myofibrils and intercalated discs than the regular cardiac muscle and located in the right atrial wall.

4. What tissue within the vascular wall which is the key in regulating blood pressure.  

5.This is a part of the blood vessel consisting of a single layer of squamous cells, loose connective tissue and sometimes few smooth muscle cells.

6. This is a collective term that refers to the capillaries, arterioles and venules in the outer part of the large blood vessels.

7. These are cells that surrounds the capillaries which contains dopamine, acetylcholine, and other neurotransmitters. It contains ion channels that responds to low oxygen and high carbon dioxide levels in the arterial blood.

8.These are blood vessels whose walls contains a single layer of squamous cells, 2 layers of smooth muscle cells, and an outer layer of thin connective tissue. It is the major determinant of the systemic blood pressure.

9.This is part of the circulatory system wherein the arterioles connect directly to venules. It is richly supplied by sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve fibers.

10. These are structures in the circulatory system that allows blood to flow into the capillary bed in a cyclical manner.
