In the differences between the male versus female urinary tract. EXPLAIN anatomically why one sex has a higher risk of lower urinary tract inflammation or infections. In your explanation, compare the male versus female lower urinary tract including length, locations & nearby organs that might contribute to inflammation or infection?

Discuss the purpose of a screening tool like the DETERMINE checklist. What does this acronym stand for and where would this tool be most appropriately used? How is risk measured with this checklist? Once risk is identified, what is the next logical step?

1) Explain the difference in the functions of low-density lipoproteins and high-density lipoproteins and explain why one is called “good” cholesterol and the other is called “bad” cholesterol.
2) Define vasoconstriction and vasodilation. What is the mechanism of regulation?
3) The heart is called a "double pump" because there are two functionally separate circulations. Trace the pathway of each of these circulations and include the following information: heart chambers involved, major blood vessels involved, and general areas through which the blood flows. Begin with the right atrium.

TLC = 4200, VC = 3200, IC = 2000 Calculate the FRC and RV?
VC = 3200, IC = 2200, ERV = 1000, RV = 1000 Calculate the TLC. ?
TLC = 6500 VC = 5000 Find RV.
TLC = 6500 IC = 3500 Find FRC.
TLC = 6500 RV = 1200 Find VC.
IC = 3500 TV = 600 Find IRV.
FRC = 2300 RV = 1200 Find ERV.
The total volume of air in Jeffrey’s lungs is 5800 mL. If his IC is 3200 and his RV is 1000, calculate his ERV and FRC.

1). How does the autonomic nervous system (ANS) that controls cardiac muscle contractions differ functionally & anatomically from the somatic motor system that controls skeletal muscle contractions?
2). How do the general effects of the sympathetic division differ from the general effects of the parasympathetic division?
3). Within the ANS, what neurotransmitters are secreted by adrenergic & by cholinergic fibers? Where in the ANS, are the
two neurotransmitters found?
4). Why do sympathetic division effects last much longer than parasympathetic division effects in humans?

Animal Physiology Question
1. Contrast ionotropic and metabotropic receptors. Specifically describe how they differ in their mechanisms of converting a sensory stimulus to a change in membrane potential. Provide one example of an ionotropic receptor we discussed in class and briefly describe how it works. Provide one example of a metabotropic receptor discussed in the textbook and briefly describe how it works.
