You just ate a piece of corn on the cob, which is basically carbohydrates and undigestible material. Now you are going to describe what happens to that food until it exits the body by indicating digestive processes and the structures that make it happen.

The myosin cross-bridge cycle________.

1. requires ATP hydrolysis
2. involves interaction of myosin heads and the actin filament
3. cannot occur if Ca⁺⁺ is present
4. a and b
5. all of the above

1) Considering C5, T4, and L2. How are these vertebrae similar? How are they different?

2) What markings on the rib articulate with what markings on the vertebrae?

(I'm more confused by the first question)

What are disadvantages associated with muscles that cross more than one join

3) Say an individual has a respiratory disease that causes less CO₂ to be exhaled with each breath.

      a) Would this tend to cause acidosis or alkalosis of the extracellular fluid? Why?

      b) Over the long term, how would the body compensate to bring pH back to normal, even though problems with CO₂ exhalation remain?

A 34 year-old graduate student presents to the student health center with reddish, crusted lesions on his penis. He is treated with fungal cream. One week later he returns because the lesions are not getting better, and he is prescribed dicloxacillin (penicillin derivative) for a presumed staph infection. It’ been over 3 months since his initial visit, and the lesions on his penis have resolved. However, he now returns with a rash on his trunk and sees a different provider who knows the patient is a man who has sex with men.

3. The lesions are called __________ and are a “hallmark” of _________ stage of disease.
