Explain what is the Tumor, Node, and Metastases (TNM) staging system. Discuss whether the following classification for a patient with a metastasized tumor is possible: T4, N0, M1. Explain your answer.

For this assignment, you will be describing hemostasis and associated disorders.

Your assignment must include the following:

1. Description of how the blood system works to stop bleeding (hemostasis).

2. Summary of the clotting cascade including a description of the intrinsic, extrinsic, and common pathways, and an overview of clotting factors.

3. Discussion of how 2 different anticoagulant medications work to stop clotting.

Describe how the neural circuitry changed after static stretching and how this might reduce vertical jump performance.

Pick one surface extension from the plasma membrane and discuss its structure and importance to cell function. (NOT CILIA)

Compare the changes in percent hemoglobin saturation that would occur in the two following situations: I. The blood PO2 drops from 100 mm Hg to 80 mm Hg. II. The blood PO2 drops from 40 mm Hg to 20 mm Hg. Select one: a. In both situations, the percent hemoglobin saturation would decrease by 20%. b. There would be very little reduction in percent hemoglobin saturation in situation I but a large reduction in situation II. c. There would be a large reduction in percent hemoglobin saturation in situation I but very little reduction in situation II. d. In both situations, the percent hemoglobin saturation would increase.

list the four basic organic molecule types, and for each, describe where it is first meaningfully digested in humans and give the enzyme used to break it down.

Which of the following structures is correctly matched to its description?

choroid plexus / a branching network of intersecting nerves

corpus callosum / fibrous tracts of white matter connecting cerebral hemispheres

cerebellar peduncle / a stalk between the cerebrum and pituitary gland

all of the above

Cells can control gene expression at many different levels.  Describe two different ways a cell could produce large amounts of a specific protein.

Multiple Choice

1. You have a lamb that has just suffered a laceration and is bleeding. From a physiological standpoint, what needs to happen to stop the bleeding?

a. Apotransferrin and Transferrin protein are activated and platelets form the plug

b. Constriction of the injured vessel, Formation of platelet plug to occlude the opening and clot formation

c. Constriction of the injured vessel recruitment of eosinophils, basophils and neutrophils and clot formation

d. Formation of platelet plug, inflammation and increase in the Erythrocyte cells

2. Cats have better nocturnal vision because:

a. The depth perception is greater due to the medial location of the eyes

b. The convex lens and the pupil have a greater range of dilation

c. Cats have a larger cornea area compared to dogs

d. Cats have a greater area on the tapetum lucidum

for each of the following pair of endocrine disorders, list the gland(s) and hormone(s) involved and then indicate one difference between the disorders
a.Diabetes mullitus and diabetes insipidus

b. cushing syndrome and Addison diease

c. Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism

37. High blood pressure could be rectified by all of the following except

A. An increase in ADH

B. A decrease in aldosterone

C. ACE inhibitors

D. All of the answer choices are correct

14. Ectopic pregnancy, where implantation of the embryo occurs in the fallopian tube rather than the uterus is possible because

A. Fertilization may have occurred in the ovary with subsequent implantation in the fallopian tube

B. Fertilization occur in the fallopian tubes and the embryo may fail to migrate to the uterus

C. The fimbriae may hold the embryo in the fallopian tubes rather than pushing it toward the uterus

D. Though fertilization takes place in the uterus, implantation does not occur immediately and thus the embryo could migrate back up into the fallopian tubes

There can be more than 1 right answer. Is it B and C both? I know it happens by diffusion and it says passive transport. But proteins are required too? or does it just work with diffusion.

17. Reabsorption of H2O in the medullary collecting ducts is by

A. active transport

B. simple diffusion

C. facilitated diffusion

D. endocytosis

87. True or False: Blood agglutination and blood clotting are different names for the same process.

90. True or False: In terms of affecting hormone action, synergism and permissiveness mean the same thing.

93. True or False: The thymus plays an important role in the development of T cells.
