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.

In a functioning human eye, light enters the human eye through the lense and reaches the retina. What does the retina interpret or record the light as and what type of message does it convert it into?
1N - Part 2
In regard to the above, where does the retina send the message it converts light into to, and through which nerve does it send it?
1N - Part 3
If a person’s eye is damaged in a way that obstructs light from reaching the retina, what impact can this have on their sight?
1N - Part 4
Briefly explain how the sense of sight contributes to a person’s sense of equilibrium?
1N - Part 5
What are the hair-like structures in the nasal cavity that contribute to the human sense of smell called?
1N - Part 6
In regard to the above, explain what these hair-like structures do when they sense odour in order to allow humans to have a sense of smell?
1N - Part 7
What other sense does human’s sense of smell enhance?

Tom is a 36 year-old businessman that likes to compete in outdoor, high-intensity fitness events every few months. Between the events, he performs workouts with a mix of strength and cardiovascular training 4-5 days per week. Tom recently went to a physical therapist because he was experiencing discomfort in both knees when he ran or performed lunges and squats. The physical therapist discovered weakness in his hips' abductors and external rotators. The physical therapist discharged Tom and sent him to you to strengthen those muscle groups.
For your assignment, fill out the movement analysis form for a one-arm dumbbell row. What are the common compensations you might see, and how will you cue the client to correct each one? Your answer should be at least 250 words.
The movement analysis includes:
step 1: divide exercise into eccentric//concentric movements
step 2: identify all critical events
