The mechanism of action for sex hormones, estrogen and testosterone are similar, albeit in opposite sexes. What is the mechanism of action for each hormone. What are the common structures, pathways, and feedback loops in these pathways. Said another way: these mechanisms of action are not all that different, so that you can minimize what you are learning as new, what is the common pathway (structures and function) and then note the unique differences (structures and or function).

b. Why exclude someone with a cold in the evaluation of an aromatic white wine?

c. Why exclude someone with dentition problems in the evaluation of potato chips?

d. Why exclude PROP non-tasters in the evaluation of sharp cheddar cheese?

Emma Norton, aged 26, is admitted to hospital with an acute exacerbation of her COPD. Using your knowledge of the respiratory system (M2) and the cardiovascular system (M3), please answer the following questions below. Be sure to clearly label the different parts:

PART A / Emma undergoes a pulmonary lung function test. How would her total lung capacity test and her FEV1/FVC values compare to normal physiological values?

PART B / In hospital, Emma is placed on oxygen but develops respiratory depression. Explain why Emma stops breathing when she is administered oxygen.

PART C / Emma's COPD has caused pulmonary hypertension and subsequent failure of the right ventricle. What are the roles of venous pressure and capillary hydrostatic pressure in causing edema?

PART D /  Emma's right ventricular failure has caused a decrease in cardiac output. Explain which hormonal system will be activated and how it compensate for this.

Given each scenario, identify the type membrane transport used: (exocytosis, phagocytosis, endocytosis, transcytosis) (suggestion: create a rubric with your summary of each of these definitions, list an example of each that highlights the differences between and perhaps draw a picture. One thing expert physiologists due that they learned over time is to draw out physiology when they are given a question)

a. Epithelial cells can move compounds from one side of the epithelium to the other by this form of membrane transport b. A protein hormone is released from cells in the brain using this form of membrane transport

c. An endolysosome is formed during this membrane transport

d. Bacteria cleared from our bodies by this form of transport
