Describe the 5 classes of antibodies, including their function and a location for each.

Describe why oxygen consumption is an indirect measure of metabolism. How do we measure oxygen consumption and internally identify what fuel body is being used for exercise?

Describe the inflammatory response: when does it happen, and for what purpose? What are the steps of the process (in detail)?

[REGARDING THE SENSORY AND MOTOR HOMUNCULUS] What is the adaptive or evolutionary value to the amount of space dedicated to each body part? How does the human homunculus compare to that of other animals? Why?

1- Compare and contrast 4 types of connective tissue. Need brief explain.

2- Compare and contrast 4 types of connective tissue. Need brief explain.

For the following two questions, please provide a response of at least one paragraph (and you can certainly write more); question 1b, though technically part of question one, should rate two or three sentences separate from the response for 1a.While there are ‘correct’ answers to these two problems, the emphasis of this assignment is how well you can defend and support your response from the resources available to you.

1. a) How are the glomeruli of kidney nephrons supplied with oxygen and nutrients? Support and defend your response. (It’s not the afferent arteriole.)

2. b) Explain why the afferent arteriole is not the answer to part a.

3. A particular substance can only be removed from the body via the urinary system. However, it is stipulated that there are no anatomical structures or physiological mechanisms within the nephron or its surrounding blood vessels capable of actively transporting the specified substance. Based on that fact, what is the maximum percent of the substance that can be removed from the blood per pass through the kidneys? Support and explain your response from the resources available to you.

1.How does secretin affect bile and pancreatic juice?

2. How does CCK affect bile and pancreatic juice?

3. How are amino acids, triglycerides, and monosaccharides absorbed in the small intestine?

4. How do bacteria in the large intestine help us?

If a child or animal ingests these rodenticides, would you expect to see normal clotting time, prolonged clotting time, or faster clotting time? Explain

What component of a retinal rod can be considered the analog of a neural dendrite?Instead of containing receptors for neural transmitters, how are these components activated?  

Suppose that a poison causes death because of respiratory failure (the respiratory muscles relax but do not contract). Propose as many as ways as possible that the toxin could cause respiratory failure.

In the concept of sensory physiology, please describe the following:

1. What is a sensory receptor? What is its function and structure?
2. Describe the generation of a “receptor potential” and explain the differences between a receptor potential and an action potential
3. What is the mechanism of adaptation in a sensory receptor?
4. Classify and describe the sensory receptors depending on their adaptation abilities.

-angiotensin II formation in the lung

-release of ADH

-release of renin by the kidney

-increased renal tubular sodium secretion
