Q

Which stage of urine formation involves 99% of the filtrate moving back into blood?

A

Reabsorption

20
Q

T/F: Aldosterone has an effect on increasing sodium reabsorption in the nephron which causes water retention thereby increasing blood pressure.

A

True

21
Q

Most reabsorption of filtrate takes place at the

A

proximal convoluted tubule

22
Q

Excess H+ ions are deposited in to the urine during which stage of urine formation?

A

secretion

23
Q

Urine is primarily composed of

A

water

24
Q

What is the formula for net filtration pressure?

A

NFP = BCOP - (CFP + GBHP)

25
Q

T/F: Changes in net filtration pressure affects GFR, filtration stops if GBHP drops functions normally with mean arterial pressures 80 - 180

A

True

26
Q

How does air enter the respiratory ‘tree’?

A

Primary bronchi > secondary bronchi > bronchioles > terminal broncioles > respiratory bronchioles > alveolar ducts > alveoli

27
Q

A function of type 2 alveolar cells is to

A

produce surfactant

28
Q

What are the principal muscles of inspiration?

A

diaphragm and external intercostals

29
Q

T/F: Boyles Law states: If the size of a closed container increases, the pressure within the closed container decreases; if the size of a closed container decreases, the pressure within the closed container increases

A

True

30
Q

When the pressure in the lungs is greater than atmospheric pressure, —- occurs

A

Expiration

31
Q

What is the volume of air present in the lungs after forceful respiration?

A

Residual volume

32
Q

Carbon dioxide is transported by which mechanism?

A

combined to hemoglobin

33
Q

T/F: If blood carbon dioxide levels increase, then blood pH will decrease

A

True

34
Q

T/F: External Respiration is the exchange of gases between the blood capillaries and tissues

A

False (Internal Respiration)

35
Q

The tidal volume is the

A

volume of air moved in and out of the lungs in a single quiet breath

36
Q

During swallowing, the nasal cavity is closed off by the soft palate and the…

A

uvula

37
Q

The process of mastication results in

A

mechanical mixing of food with saliva and shaping of food into a bolus

38
Q

The regular contractions of the muscularis that push food through the entire gastrointestinal tract are know as

A

peristalsis

39
Q

The salivary enzyme amylase functions to digest

A

carbohydrates

40
Q

Hydrochloric acid in the stomach changes pepsinogen into — for the breakdown of —

A

Hydrochloric acid in the stomach changes pepsinogen into pepsin for the breakdown of proteins

41

Intrinsic factor secreted by parietal cells of the stomach is required for

A

absorption of vitamin B12

42
Q 
Gastric emptying is stimulated by all of the following except:
distention of the stomach
gastrin
CCK 
partially digested proteins
the vagus nerve
A

???

43
Q

The intestinal enzyme that functions to digest fat is

A

lipase

44
