PART 1: (select the correct bold-faced choices)
Glucose is freely ["secreted", "filtered", "excreted", "reabsorbed"] at the glomerulus, where it enters the tubule of the nephron. However, all of the glucose entering the nephron is normally ["secreted", "filtered", "excreted", "reabsorbed"] at the proximal convoluted tubule via the sodium-glucose co-transporter, which also reabsorbs Na+. Glucose is not ["secreted", "filtered", "excreted", "reabsorbed"] into the nephron tubule. Because of this, no glucose is ["secreted", "filtered", "excreted", "reabsorbed"] in a healthy individual.
PART 2: Why is protein not found normally found in the urine?
A. It is fully absorbed by the digestive system
B. It is 100% reabsorbed by the nephron
C. It is 100% secreted by the nephron
D. It is too large to be filtered

PART 1: The FEV1/VC ratio is clinically significant because it is an indicator of ["alveolar surface area", "airway resistance", "alveolar pressure", "respiratory rate"] . A healthy individual's FEV1/VC ratio is near ["50%", "80%", "90%", "100%"], while an individual with an obstructive lung disease will likely have a FEV1/VC ratio of less than ["50%", "80%", "90%", "100%"] because of a ["decrease in resistance", "merging", "dilation", "collapsing"] of the small airways.
PART 2: Tidal volume increased after exercise because CO2 production ["increased", "decreased"] owing to the increased metabolic rate of exercising skeletal muscle. This change in CO2 stimulated the ["peripheral", "central"] ["baroreceptors", "photoreceptors", "osmoreceptrs", "chemoreceptors"] resulting in ["faster", "slower"] and ["shallower", "deeper"] breathing. As a result of the tidal volume increasing, inspiratory and expiratory volumes both ["significantly increased", "significantly decreased", "did not significantly change"] while vital capacity ["significantly increased", "significantly decreased", "did not significantly change"]. Since total lung capacity is equal to the vital capacity plus residual volume (which is a constant), total lung capacity ["significantly increased", "significantly decreased", "did not significantly change"] .
