Neuroglia support and protect neurons. The central nervous system (CNS) has four (4) types of neuroglia. Correctly match each cell characteristic with the correct neuroglial cell.
Line the centre canal in spinal cord
Largest neuroglial cell
Can migrate to through neural tissue
Produce, monitor and circulate cerebrospinal fluid
Most abundant neuroglial cells
Maintain blood- brain barrier
Many are ciliated
Many cytoplasmic processes with feet
Help to provide structural for framework CNS
Cell type includes ependyocytes and tanycytes
Smallest number of neuroglial cells
Forms cuboidal columnar epithelium
Lacking abasement membrane
Engulf cellular debris, waste products and pathogens
Contain many microfilaments
Adjust composition of interstitial fluid
Have some slender cytoplasmic extensions in contact with neuron surface
Small cell body
Forms membranous wrapping (myelin) around axon
Provides electrical insulation for axon
Maintain permeability characteristics of capillary endothelial cells
Phagocytes
Repair/ stabilise damaged neural tissue
Cytoplasmic processes each with very fine branches
Increases speed of action potential
Ependymal cells Astrocytes oligodendrocytes microglia

How would volume measurements change (pulmonary volume and capacity) if data were collected during vigorous exercise (TV, IRV, ERV, VC, RV) in comparison to collecting data at when at rest? Please provide reasonable quantitative estimates, rather than just a qualitative description.

1. Brooke has been feeling ill lately and she goes to the emergency room. She has been vomiting excessively for 4 days and unable to hold down any food or water. Tests are run, and her arterial blood gas comes back as follows:
pH: 7.6
pCO2: 55mmHg
HCO3-: 28mEq
Diagnose the acid base disturbance. How do you know (i.e. is pH alkaline or acidic, is pCO2 alkaline or acidic, is bicarb alkaline or acidic) (3 POINTS)? What is likely the cause of this imbalance, why? How would the respiratory system compensate for this imbalance (2 POINTS)? How would the urinary system compensate for this imbalance.
2. What is the glomerular filtration rate (GFR)? How does the GFR relate to net filtration pressure? What are 2 physiological mechanisms that can change the GFR, briefly explain how they affect the GFR? Identify a hormone that will increase the GFR. Identify a hormone that will decrease the GFR .

Individuals with diabetes mellitus have an increased risk for developing kidney disease due to accumulated damage to the nephrons. Based on our discussion of filtration, explain how an ACE inhibitor may prevent damage to the kidney individuals with diabetes. Explain how an ACE inhibitor works, what blood vessel(s) and any other structures that would be directly impacted by an ACE inhibitor, and how treatment with an ACE inhibitor could prevent damage to the nephrons.
