You go for a run on a really hot day, which makes you sweat more than usual. What is happening to the water balance in your body? Include: the difference between intracellular and extracellular fluid compartment. The movement of the fluids and water between the compartments. What role sodium plays in water balance, how is the sodium regulated and how it aids in the bodys homeostatic equilibrium.How is the bodys response to the disruption in watwr balance and how is it compensated for?

Input/Circle correct answer where applicable.

a) The main class of enzymes that digest proteins are known as_______________. Endopeptidases causes bonds to break in the middle/end of peptides. Exopeptidases are important for cleaving off the terminal amino acids. For C-terminal amino acids _________-peptidases will be used while _________ -peptidases will cleave N-terminal amino acids. Examples of such enzymes are pepsin, which requires an alkaline/acidic environment in the _______________ in order to be functional, and _______________, found in pancreatic secretions, which requires an _______________ environment.

b) Ghrelin is an (orexigenic/anorexigenic) hormone. Its levels in the blood are (increased/decreased) during times of fasting or hypoglycemia and (increased/decreased) when blood glucose and amino acid levels are high. Ghrelin acts at the level of the stomach to (increase/decrease) gastric acid release and motility. With regards to its functions on food intake, the hormone that works as part of the “antagonistic pair” with ghrelin is _________.

c) Carbohydrate digestion mainly occurs in the ______________ and _______________ whereas protein/peptide digestion mainly occurs in the ______________ and ______________.

For Aaron's biceps muscle to be able to generate the same amount of tension as before the accident, the muscle fibers that were not damaged would need to generate more tension to make up for the fibers that were damaged. Explain how these healthy muscle fibers would do this. Would the Ca2+ concentration in the cytoplasm in the healthy muscle fibers need to increase or decrease to generate a stronger contraction? How does this happen?
