1.How does the lymphatic system react to a foreign antigen (i.e. bacteria). Include the cells and chemicals involved in the immune reaction. How will the reaction be different the second time this antigen is introduced to the body?

2.Describe the path of urinary filtrate from where it leaves the glomerulus to the ureter. Specifically, what happens to water, sodium and urea during this trip? How is the reabsorption of water and sodium regulated by hormones?

3.Discuss the difference between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Be sure to include a discussion of the different ganglia found in each system and their roles.

4.Describe the major events of the menstrual cycle and what triggers those events (Be specific).

5.Give a complete description of the cardiac cycle. Include the electrical stimulation, specifics of blood flow and volume changes during the cycle.

6. Discuss in detail how the pH of the blood is regulated. Describe 2 situations in which pH levels might be abnormal and what would occur in the body to compensate for these alterations.

7. Discuss how the body reacts to a large amount of blood loss. Be sure to include how this loss in volume is sensed and what chemicals are released to signal the compensatory mechanisms.

8.Describe in detail the digestion and absorption of lipids. How are lipids transported and utilized throughout the body.
