By doing two submaximal tests to predict the V02 max of the same person, we could see that the result differ a little bit:
Astrand Rhyming : absolute value: 3.15 liter per minute, relative value: 48,46 ml/kg/min.
YMCA cycle test: absolute value: 3.0 liters per minute, relative value: 46,15 ml/kg/min.
What does the difference in results tell us? How much did the two tests differ? Which of these test is better in order to get the most accurate prediction of a VO2 max value for that person?

Dehydration is one of the problems that people have when they have large third-degree burns on their skin. Why do you think this is? What part(s) of the skin is compromised that causes dehydration?
Would you expect someone with second-degree burns to have this problem? Why or why not?

1. What organ system does COVID-19 infect?
2. Specifically, this virus destroys the cilia in our airways. What is the role of cilia?
3. In addition, COVID- 19 causes a hyperreactive inflammation response. Normally, inflammation is a defense mechanism. What is inflammation and how is this protective? Why is the case of COVID-19 is this over-reaction of inflammation a bad thing?
4. Scientists are working around the clock to develop a COVID-19 vaccine. In the meantime, one current treatment is to inject antibodies from COVID-19 survivors into the blood of those currently suffering from the virus. Why is this helpful and which specific type of immunity is this?

1. A) What is “Brainbow”? How does the system work? If you wanted to understand the neuronal connections that are responsible for coordinating voluntary motor function which cell type would you label with brainbow? What specific transgenes would you use? Paste a picture of the cell type labeled with brainbow in your response.
B) What is BrdU staining? What information does it give you about cells? How can it be used to identify the timing of neuron birth in relation to development of the neocortex?

4) Identify four different chemoattractants that drive neural crest migration. What are the
receptors the molecules bind? How are the signals transduced? And what is the effect on cell
physiology? Which varieties of neural crest do they attract? What are the cell types these
neural crest become?

11. Explain each of these 4 forces, and mention if they contribute to, or oppose, glomerular filtration. Also draw AND label a simple diagram demonstrating the relationship of these 4 forces @ the renal corpuscle. And finally, set up an algebraic equation showing how all 4 forces contribute to Net Filtration Pressure. (ex: NFP = (A+b)-(C+d)) a. GHP – Glomerular Hydrostatic Pressure b. GOP – Glomerular Osmotic Pressure (the book calls it BCOP) c. CHP – Capsular Hydrostatic Pressure (the book calls it CsHP) d. COP - Capsular Osmotic Pressure (the book calls it CsOP)

In 1940 the average sperm count per ejaculation was estimated to be 113 million/ml with a normal ejaculate volume equaling 3.40 ml. In 1990 this average had decreased to 66 million sperm/ml of ejaculate. That's almost a 50% reduction! During this time the amount of ejaculation had also decreased down to about 2.75ml. In 2010 it is estimated that the total ejaculation amount is approximately 1.5ml, with the sperm counts being down to 60 million in the average male, and in 15-20% of young males, the sperm count is below 20 million.
1. What is the minimum amount of sperm per volume to be considered fertile?
2. Propose (research) potential explanations for the steady decline in sperm counts within males. (hint: age, wearing "tighty whities" and nutrition are not valid reasons as that affects individuals. These count drops are impacting the population!)
3. Research potential explanations for the decrease in the volume of semen within males. IS there a link between the decline of sperm and ejaculate? Explain.
4. What impact on fertility do lower ejaculate amounts have?
5. What treatments are available currently to treat infertility due to low sperm counts and low ejaculate levels?
Remember when answering and researching these answers wikipedia, mayo clinic, WebMD are NOT valid sources. This topic is more technical so beware of propaganda sites selling testosterone boosting supplements as that is not valid resources. You really want to find peer-reviewed researched articles in journals. All work must be properly cited. Plagiarism will not be tolerated.
