  1. You are consuming a food item that contains carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, and a substance A stipulated to not be digestible by human enzymes, but digestible by bacterial enzymes into substance B. Discuss where and how each of the five nutrient types will be digested (multiple locations may be required), and how their absorbable components (monosaccharides, fatty acids, amino acids, nucleotides, and substance B) will be absorbed by the body. Include in your response a complete review of the entire digestive system (not just the digestive tract), including all physical structures the food item will encounter, all digestive secretions (including a breakdown of all enzymatic and non-enzymatic components, and their functions) the food item will occur, and the tissue/organ structures responsible for generating those secretions.

Extreme challenges to an animal’s physiology allow us to explore and better understand the function of systems in the body.   Please address the following questions regarding the initial reflexive changes (before acclimatization) that occur in response to ascent to altitude.

A) Outline the initial global reflexes that occur in response to the low PO2 at high altitude. Be sure to include all components of the reflex arcs for cardiovascular and respiratory systems.

B) Compare these global reflexes to local reflexes occurring in the lungs.

  1. An individual has low blood oxygen levels, due to insufficient numbers of circulating red blood cells. (The erythrocytes are completely healthy; there’s just not enough of them.) Describe the processes by which the body stimulates the production of new erythrocytes. Your response should include a review of all body cells and structures capable of detecting low oxygen levels, the body responses that stimulate erythrocyte production, and the actual synthesis and maturation process in the red bone marrow. In addition, any short-term body processes that compensate for the low blood oxygen levels not involving erythrocyte production should be discussed in detail as well.

  2. An individual has low blood glucose levels—not low enough to cause symptoms, but enough to cause the body to attempt a restoration to normal levels. Describe all processes by which the body induces the increase of blood sugar levels. Your response should include a review of all body cells and structures capable of detecting low glucose levels, the body responses that stimulate glucose production, and all processes for the actual synthesis of glucose. (While this is not a biochemistry class, a thorough discussion of the two major glucose production pathways is expected; a couple sentences for each will not suffice for full credit.)
