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.

A type I diabetic is suffering from debilitating bursitis (inflammation of "bursa sacs") which makes moving their right arm almost insufferably painful. A physician diagnoses the bursitis and administers a hydrocortisone injection in the area of the bursa sacs to relive pain.
1. Why would injection of hydrocortisone provide pain relief?
2. Why might the patient's blood glucose levels remain elevated for several days following this injection?

8. Describe how we use the concepts of stress and strain to understand the mechanical behavior of bone tissue. Include a definition of both and how they are calculated.
9. How does a muscle cause torque? How do we calculate the net torque for two muscles with opposing actions? Give an example using math.

Explain in detail how an individual's sex is determined from fertilization to birth. What determines if a zygote develops in a man or a woman? Explain. When it starts? That determines it at each stage. When does the differentiation end? Who determines it? What structures are developed at each stage? How important are chromosomes and hormones?In: Anatomy and Physiology
4. Your family member is diagnosed with TYPE 1 diabetes and they come to you for an explanation, how would you explain what is happening to them to cause the disease and how it must be treated. Also explain how this differs from a diagnosis of TYPE 2 diabetes.

what will happen when you loose a lot of blood (hemorrhage)
1. signal to NTS increase
2. veins smooth muscle contraction goes up
3. vasodilation
4. increased stimulation of SA node
5. nothing
