1) Describe the effect of hypovolemic shock on the blood vessels and the heart.

2) Atherosclerosis is a progressive disease of blood vessels that is responsible for millions of deaths each year. Describe the disease process, noting the involvement of specific cell/tissue types and molecules.

3) A woman in her early 50s appeared at a walk-in clinic, complaining of aching pain in her right leg following a fall. Visual examination revealed that the medial aspect of that leg was red and swollen. A diagnosis of phlebitis was made. What is phlebitis, and what more serious condition may result if proper healing does not occur?

4) For each of the following situations, describe the anticipated effect on blood pressure and the physiological basis of the response: (1) a high-salt diet, (2) a blow on the head that damages (disables) the vasomotor center, (3) an attack by a mugger, and (4) a hypothalamic tumor resulting in excess ADH production.

5) Mrs. Gray, a 50-year-old mother of seven children, is complaining of dull, aching pains in her legs. She reports that they have been getting progressively worse since the birth of her last child. During her physical examination, numerous varicosities are seen in both legs. How are varicosities recognized? What veins are most likely involved? What pathologic changes have occurred in these veins, and what is the most likely cause in this patient's case?

6) Mr. Wilson is a 45-year-old stockbroker with essential hypertension. He is African American, obese, and he smokes 2-3 packs of cigarettes daily. What risk factors for hypertension are typified by Mr. Wilson? What steps should be taken to treat Mr. Wilson, and what lifestyle changes should he make? What complications are likely if corrective steps are not taken?

8) At the battle of Shiloh in the American Civil War, Confederate General A. S. Johnston was killed when he was shot in the thigh. Witnesses reported that he bled to death almost before he realized that he was wounded. Which blood vessel was most likely to have been injured? Why is a tourniquet usually ineffective in stopping the bleeding from this wound?

9) A patient lost a lot of blood during surgery and his blood pressure dropped from 120/80 to 90/50. Describe how the kidneys respond to this change in blood pressure.

10) A patient has an 80% blockage of his left anterior descending coronary artery. Describe what occurs in terms of myocardial oxygen supply and demand if his sympathetic nervous system is stimulated.

Physical training can lead to changes in muscle composition and properties of local motor neurons, both of which will alter our capabilities to carry out movements. Are the following statements about that type of plasticity of our motor system TRUE or FALSE?

While riding a bike, maintaining posture to keep sitting on the saddle is carried out by slow motor units, while the legs use fast fatigable motor units, while working really hard to get up a short steep incline very fast.

Imagine you previously trained for lifting heavy weights and now train for running marathons, This leads to an increase in the excitability of the motor neurons, so that neurons start to become active with weaker stimulation.

Due to the decreased excitability of motor neurons after training for heavy lifting, the muscle fibers they activate become active already when the task is to lift very light objects.  

Unless your little pinky finger is trained to do heavy lifting, we can safely assume that the motor neurons that activate its muscles contact only very few muscle fibers.

A motor neuron that has a relatively short duration of hyperpolarization (overshoot) after an action potential is expected to be able to produce higher action potential firing frequencies and thus stronger contractions of muscle fibers.

A fast, large, strong, fast fatigable (FF) motor unit motor neuron that was trained to do heavy lifting has a very small axon diameter.
