Sarah Johnson, aged 42, is 32 weeks pregnant and decides to go mountain hiking. She is unable to breath and airlifted to the nearest hospital. She is diagnosed with pulmonary oedema. Using your knowledge of oxygen transport (M2L5), answer the following questions. Be sure to clearly label the different parts. Part A. Describe two (2) factors that led to decreased gas exchange and her inability to breath. Part B. Explain why Sarah would have elevated levels of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate and how this will impact oxygen delivery to tissues. (1 mark) Part C. Explain why the decrease in partial pressure of oxygen will affect the mother more than the foetus. (1 mark) Part D. The baby was delivered prematurely. Explain why he was placed on a ventilator due to collapsed lungs. (1 mark)

Mr. Phettuccine is a 65 year old man who has been blind from birth and relies heavily on reading via Braille (touch-reading using raised dots). He has recently been diagnosed with a neurodegenerative disease and is worried it will affect his ability to read using Braille.

Using your knowledge of touch sensory physiology (M1L6), please answer the following questions with one or two (1-2) sentences each in the text box below.

Part A. Describe how lateral inhibition allows for localization of a touch stimulus. (1.5 marks)

Part B. If the neurodegeneration has reduced his touch lateral inhibition, what do predict would happen to his Braille reading? (1 mark)

Part C. What type of touch receptors do you predict would most be affected? Explain your reasoning. (1 mark 1).

Alan stands on a sharp object at home causing sharp pain in his foot. His knee buckles/bends immediately after standing on the sharp object.
Using your knowledge of somatic and autonomic reflexes (M4L4) answer the following questions. Be sure to clearly label the different parts.
Part A. Provide one example of a somatic reflex and one example of an autonomic reflex. (1 mark)
Part B. Identify two reflex pathways that are activated as a result of Alan standing on the sharp object. For each pathway identify: the specific receptor, all neurons and synapses involved and the impact on the specific effector tissue.
