What is homeostasis ? Draw a simple labelled diagram and briefly
explain what are the components required in a generic homeostatic
system?
N.B. You may draw this diagram by hand or draw directly on the
computer. Please do not copy-paste images from the web or
textbooks. A rough sketch is satisfactory; does not necessarily
need to be coloured or of printable quality.

Jerry is participating in a resistance training program. While he is warming up for his barbell chest press (standard bench press) exercise he starts to think about how he is able to raise the weight, 135lbs, from his chest to full arm extension and back to his chest (1 repetition). Further, he wonders what is different when he is lifting a heavier weight like 185lbs. In your own words, please answer Jerry’s curiosities from a physiologic perspective. Be as detailed as possible.

1) Cardiac output increases during exercise due to an increase in both heart rate and stroke volume. Which of the following contribute to this increase in stroke volume? (Select all that apply).
a) Constriction of veins by the sympathetic nervous system
b) The increase in heart rate directly increases filling time
c) Increased stretching of the cardiac myocytes due to increased EDV
d) Increased sympathetic stimulation of the ventricles
e) Withdrawn (decreased) parasympathetic stimulation of the ventricles
- - -
2) Which parameter is primarily responsible for the differences in MAP observed between dynamic and static exercise?

Discuss how calcium homeostasis is maintained in the blood, especially the mechanism of positive regulation of calcium levels. What are the two hormones you learned in the class that control the levels of calcium? What classes of hormones are they? List all organs that participate in the processes and their roles. Do you think the administration of calcitonin would help improve the condition of osteoporosis? Briefly defend your argument.

Discuss the processes of hemostasis and fibrinolysis, but do not list all the coagulation factors (e.g., factors VII, VIII, etc) – I only look for essential ones that initiate the three different coagulation pathways and the final activation mechanism of fibrin formation. Which ion and vitamin play essential roles in hemostasis? Which hematopoietic cell is responsible for the production of platelets? Warfarin is an example of anticoagulants that are clinically used. What are other examples of anticoagulants you learned in the class? Which factor acts as a thrombolytic agent that helps dissolve thrombi or emboli in stroke or heart attack patients?
