Summarize the material covered in today’s lab. Name and describe each of the phases of the cardiac cycle. Be sure to include the events that occur during each phase. Focus on the mechanical events (contraction and relaxation) of the chambers, the pressure changes in the heart, the position of the valves, and the heart sounds. Be sure to explain what causes each of the events you describe.

Identify the organs of the urinary system and any organs that are different between male and female.
Identify the basic function of each organ.
Explain the tissues of that organ and how they pertain
to the process of propelling urine through the system.

Explain how the sympathetic nervous system (and endocrine system) act directly to regulate heart rate and thus cardiac output. Include a detailed description of the mechanism (include the target cells, the proteins, signaling molecules, ions, and changes in membrane pontial where appropriate) and explain how the mechanism operates to alter heart rate.Explain how the parasympathetic nervous system acts to directly regulate cardiac output (1 mechanism). Discuss each mechanism separately including a detailed description of each mechanism (include the target cells, the proteins, signaling molecules, ions, and changes in membrane pontial where appropriate). Make clear how each affects cardiac output. This shoul require about half a page.Explain in detail the Frank-Starling law of the heart. Be sure to define what it is, and describe how it operates (the mechanism). Explain why it is an important way that cardiac output is regulated. Demonstrate your understanding by describing a particular scenario when it would operate and its significance.

You decide to eat a given food. Discuss the various biological steps that will take place in your body to extract the necessary nutrients like amino acids, glucose, and fatty acids from the food and make them available to the body cells.

Which of the following is true
Select one:
a. Vasomotor syncope may occur when you lie down after standing up for a long time
b. Vasomotor syncope is caused by increased venous return, which causes excessive stimulation of the baroreceptor reflex
c. Vasovagal syncope occurs in response to a disturbing situation that causes over-stimulation of the SNS
d. Contraction of the lower leg muscles helps to prevent vasomotor syncope because it increases the pressure gradient from the peripheral veins to the right atrium
