		A conducting cardiac myocyte, the rapid depolarization is caused by the opening of T-type calcium channels.
		A contractile cardiac myocyte, the rapid depolarization is caused by the opening of L-type calcium channels.
		Both conducting and contracting cardiac myocytes, the influx of sodium and calcium cause the membrane to depolarize and the efflux of potassium causes repolarization.
		Both a) and b) are correct and c) is incorrect.
		a), b) and c) are all correct.

Select the MOST CORRECT answer. An athlete was attempting to improve their performance through doping, the act of taking illegal drugs to increase red blood cell count. Unfortunately, the athlete experienced a reduction of performance instead. Which of the following best explains this outcome?

		Heart rate and stroke volume were increased and therefore cardiac output was reduced.
		An increase in the viscosity of the blood caused total peripheral resistance to increase, which reduced blood flow.
		A decrease in mean arterial pressure resulted because of the increase in total blood volume. Because the bulk blood flow was equal between both sides of the heart, the stroke volume decreased over time.
		Both a) and b) are correct and c) is incorrect.
		a), b) and c) are all correct.

Expert Solution

First one.

a), b) and c) are all correct. During the generation of a potential by the SA node the conducting cells starts to undergo depolarization due to the opening of T type calcium channels and it's transient. It takes place in the phase 4. In phase 0 the opening of L type calcium channels makes the influx of calcium and it's long lasting. But at the end in phase 3 repolarization occurs due to the efflux of potassium ions.

Second one.

An increase in the viscosity of the blood caused total peripheral resistance to increase, which reduced blood flow.

As the redblood cells increase the hematocrit also increases. As hematocrit increases the blood viscosity increases. With the increase in viscosity the total peripheral resistance increases. As a result the easy blood flow is interrupted and thereby the blood flow decreases and the athlete face a difficulty in blood supply to the body muscles and to make a better performance.

Select the MOST CORRECT answer. Carbon dioxide is transported in the blood mostly bound to hemoglobin or dissolved in plasma. Hemoglobin has a higher affinity for oxygen than myoglobin, allowing a fairly rapid movement of oxygen from muscle to plasma during exercise. Bicarbonate ion is pumped into and out of the red blood cell by a chloride antiporter. Both a) and b) are correct and c) is incorrect. a), b) and c) are all correct.

Select the correct answer: A (legal; natural) monopoly exists when one firm can meet the entire market demand at a lower average total cost than two or more firms could. A monopoly that is able to sell different units of a good or service for different prices is a (natural-price; price-discriminating) monopoly. The act of obtaining special treatment by the government to create an economic profit is called (government surplus; rent seeking). Regulated firms have an incentive to inflate their...
