- Describe how Boyle's Law relates to breathing. Specifically, how does volume changes in the thoracic cavity relate to changes in intra-alveolar air pressure
- Circumflex artery curves around and delivers ______________ blood to the _________ side of heart.
- Describe how the partial pressure of oxygen in the lung alveoli and within the pulmonary circulation governs the movement and diffusion rate of oxygen from the lungs to the blood
- Explain the three distinct ways that carbon dioxide can be transported in the blood and out of the alveolus
- outermost layer of the heart tissue, protective covering
- In obtaining an oxygen molecule from the atmosphere and moving it to the mitochondria of a muscle cell in the body, know the points where oxygen moves by convection (bulk transport) and where it moves by simple diffusion.
- Calculate the rate of diffusion using Fick's law: rate of diffusion (surface area concentration difference) thickness of membrane
- Draw out the oxygen-hemoglobin saturation curve (also called the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve). Relate the partial pressure of oxygen to how saturated hemoglobin will become with oxygen
- anterior interventricular artery drops immediately down and delivers _____________ blood to the ______ of heart.
- Why are the alkaline secretions of the small intestine and pancreas important?
- What structural modifications increase the internal surface area, and thus the absorptive ability, of the small intestines?
- Identify the sphincter at the juncture of the ileum and the large intestine.
- What cells of the gastric gland secrete gastrin? Why are these cells called enteroendocrine cells rather than exocrine cells?
- Name the ducts which converge to form the hepatopancreatic ampulla, the duct that conducts both bile and pancreatic juice into the duodenum.
- Where along the GI tract is the greatest amount of water absorbed?
- Name and locate the three regions of the small intestine.
- What are the digestive end products of each of the dietary macronutrients listed above (#78)?
- What type of cartilage are the skeleton in embryos?
- Pepsin and pancreatic proteases are secreted in an inactive form. How are each of these types of enzymes activate?
- What is the function of lipoprotein lipase? Where in the circulatory system is lipoprotein lipase located?
