As noted in the lecture one for the week, virtual physicians are becoming more common. Due to not being face to face, many critics have argued that the Physician cannot correctly diagnose as they do not have patient vitals (heart rate, O2 rates, blood pressure, temp, etc.). In your initial post, discuss whether or not you agree with the critics in their assessment and why.

1. Are the lungs innervated by both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system? How about the eyes? And the heart?

1. The percentage of Vital capacity that can be expired in one second is decreased in someone with which of the following?

A. Someone with an increased comliance

B. Someone with bronhoconstriction

C. Someone with an incease in VO2 max

2. Which of the following does NOT influence the loading reaction at the lungs?

A. Blood pH

B. The amount of hemoglobin in the blood

C. The p02 graident across the respiratory membrane

D. Pulmonary edema

3. Elevated body temperature, acidosis and/or anemia will?

A. Increase the unloading reaction

B. Cause a left shift in the oxygen-hemoglobin dissoaciation curve

C. Decrease Respiratory rate

1.- Flatulence is a problem for people and their animals. Dr. Phil, a TV personality specializing in social disorders, has retained you as a consultant on ways to minimize the social impact that results from the noise and smell generated by flatulence. What is your advice: List 3 ways to mitigate the problem (in humans) and give the basis for each recommendation.

Using approximately 400-500 words, choose a sports skill you wish to analyze. Some examples include a free throw shot, softball pitch, soccer kick, baseball swing, tennis swing, etc. Discuss what movements occur at the ankle, knee, hip, spine, shoulder, elbow, and wrist. Compare the movements bilaterally, or both sides. In which planes do these movements occur? What axis of rotation occurs at each joint?

Reptiles can change the flow of blood through their hearts. This is called shunting. Describe the two types of shunting and why they are used.

A patient of yours is experiencing sustained muscular contractions as a side effect of a drug. They are injected with another drug that stops nerves from firing action potentials, but the contractions continue. What does this tell you about the cause/source of this patient’s sustained contractions?
