1.Which of the following characterizes a relative polycythemia? There may be more than one answer. Select one or more: a. A type of polycythemia that promotes erythropoiesis; therefore, increases the number of circulating erythrocytes above normal. b. A type of polycythemia that does not promote erythropoiesis but increases the number of circulating erythrocytes above normal. c. Hypovolemic shock d. Anemia e. High altitude
2.What is TRUE about diabetes? There may be more than one answer. Select one or more: a. Type I diabetes mellitus is insulin deficiency while Type II diabetes mellitus is insulin-resistant diabetes. b. Exercise and weight loss are therapies for both Type I and Type II diabetes mellitus. c. Diabetes insipidus is due to lack of anti-diuretic hormone that results in large production of "flat" urine. d. During fasting, a diabetic patient has a plasma glucose of 65-70mg/dL. e. Type I diabetes mellitus is a juvenile-onset diabetes that develops during childhood. f. Type I and Type II diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus will result in abnormally elevated blood glucose concentrations and will affect blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nervous system. g. Type I diabetes accounts for 90% of all cases of diabetes while Type II diabetes accounts for 10%. h. Insulin injection is a therapy for Type I diabetes mellitus. Type I promotes the production of ketone bodies and promote the production of "sweet" urine.

1. Which of the following describes an endocytosis? There may be more than one answer.
Select one or more:
a. A cell engulfs a bacterium by pushing its cell membrane around the bacterium forming a phagosome that will pinched off from the cell membrane and enter the cytoplasm.
b. Specific solutes accumulate along an indented cell membrane that will form into an endosome and it will pinch off from the cell membrane and enter the cytoplasm.
c. A process that transports molecules outside the cell via fusion of a vesicle with the plasma membrane.
d. A pinocytosis is an uptake of a non-selective materials, like the extracellular fluid, into a cell via endosome that pinches off from the plasma membrane into the intracellular fluid.
e. The process is initiated when an influx of Ca2+ interacts with rabs and snares in the intracellular fluid.
2.
What are the characteristics of the red blood cells (RBCs)? There may be more than one answer.
Select one or more:
a. RBCs are circular, flattened, and biconcave cells which transport oxygen from the tissues to the lungs and carbon dioxide from the lungs to the tissues.
b. RBCs lacked nucleus and organelles but contained glycolytic enzymes, carbonic anhydrase, and hemoglobin.
c. RBCs, leukocytes, and platelets are derived from uncommitted pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells.
d. Erythropoiesis in adult occurs in the liver, spleen, and all red bone marrow.
e. RBCs live for about 9 days.

2. Where along the cell does a presynaptic input (synapse) have the greatest effect on determining whether a postsynaptic neuron fires an action potential or not?
3.At the resting potential, which ion is a cell most permeable to? Why is the cell most permeable to that ion?
4. Explain why an action potential normally does not flow backwards, toward the cell body. Would it be different if you injected Na+ into the middle of the axon? Why?
