paste a picture of the model of lungs you built at home or took from the internet and label what equivalent part of the respiratory system each of the parts of your model represents. Then briefly describe how your model can be used to explain ventilation referring to the volume and pressure changes required and mimicked in your model. State the gas law(s) that apply to ventilation. If you did not build your own model – insert a picture from either a website that explains how to build the lung model (reference the web site!), or use the picture provided in prac manual 3 to label the components of the model.

Propose a metabolic reaction which would illustrate a positive feedback mechanism. Be sure to address the relationship between molecules in the reaction (substrate, product, enzyme, etc) and how the reaction would be both perpetuated, and eventually terminated.

Ms. Tanaka, age 76, was brought to an urgent care facility because she fell when she stood up after sitting all afternoon in her apartment where she lives alone. Although slow to answer questions, Mrs. Tanaka states she has had muscle weakness, muscle cramping, and constipation. She has had diarrhea for 3 weeks. Physical examination with Mrs. Tanaka supine revealed flat neck veins, hear rate 102 beats/min, pulse regular but weak, blood pressure 90/56 mm Hg, respirations 20 breaths/min and deep. The on-site clinical laboratory provided these results: serum sodium 142 mEq/L, potassium 2.8 mEq/L.

What fluid imbalance does Mrs. Tanaka have? What data supports that?
What imbalance is indicated by her laboratory results? What other clinical manifestations are consistent with that imbalance?
What additional electrolyte imbalance(s) might Mrs. Tanaka have? Provide supporting data.
Tanaka may have an acid-base imbalance. Which one? What aspects of her history and clinical presentation support that?
Tanaka was given intravenous isotonic sodium chloride, with appropriate electrolyte in it. What was the purpose of administering that particular fluid?

1. Graves' disease is a condition in which some of the body's antibodies mimic the function of thyroid-stimulating hormone and cause over activity of the thyroid gland. what consequences would this have on a patient's overall metabolic rate and their ability to maintain a healthy weight? would you expect someone with Graves' disease to have a higher or lower average core body temperature compared to someone who was unaffected?

a 35 year medically fit non-smoking patient presents complaining of a buccal intraoral swelling associated with his lower right posterior teeth. In addition, the patient complains of bleeding gums and wishes to improve the appearance of the gingiva around tooth FDI 23 that clinically has associated class II gingival recession.   Initial clinical examination indicates an intraoral swelling with a draining sinus between teeth FDI 45 and 46, grade I mobility of 46, generalized clinical loss of attachment of 3-4mm and generalized pocketing of 5-6mm with bleeding on probing around all teeth.
