Q

Which factors increase the efficiency of our cardiovascular system?

I) Blood in vessels can be transported quickly under high pressure
II) The long length of major arteries increases the efficiency of gas diffusion
III) Nutrients and gases are transported by both the blood vessels and lymph vessels, maximizing volume
IV) Hemoglobin in blood increases the diffusion gradient of oxygen

A

I and IV

21
Q

Our cardiovascular system contains a network of about _____ of vessels.

A

100, 000 km

22
Q

Plasma
I) transports carbon dioxide.
II) is about 40% water.
III) contains white blood cells.
IV) is the same as lymph.

A

transports CO2

23
Q

What does the brain sense when there is too much carbon dioxide in the blood?

A

It senses a drop in pH caused by carbonic acid dissolved in the plasma.

24
Q

When cilia lining the respiratory system become damaged from smoking, what respiratory disorder is most likely to develop?

Cystic fibrosis

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)

Pneumonia

Emphysema

A

emphysema

25
Q

In which type of pressure (systolic vs. diastolic) is arterial blood pressure being measured?

A

diastolic

26
Q

The appendix, a small pouch-like structure in the colon, is a part of which organ system?

A

immune

27
Q

In this diagnostic procedure, a thin, lighted tube with an attached camera is inserted through the rectum so that the intestine can be visually inspected.

What is this procedure called?

A

colonoscopy

28
Q

What is not present in the open circulatory system of this grasshopper?

Vessels

Capillaries

Heart

Blood

A

capillaries

29

Bone marrow is essential to the cardiovascular system because it produces
I) red blood cells.
II) white blood cells.

30
Q

____ are cell fragments that release clotting factors where a blood vessel is damaged.

A

31
Q

(a) Name three categories of fats.
(b) Explain the difference between them. k

A

trans fats:
worst type of fat to eat. Unlike other dietary fats, trans fats raise “bad” cholesterol and also lowers “good” cholesterol

saturated fats:
a type of dietary fat. It is one of the unhealthy fats, along with trans fat. These fats are most often solid at room temperature

unsaturated fats:
liquid at room temperature, are considered beneficial fats because they can improve blood cholesterol levels, ease inflammation, stabilize heart rhythms, and play a number of other beneficial roles.

32
Q

Describe the relationship between protein
and amino acids

A

protein is a macromolecule and amino acids are the monomers

-amino acids make up protein and protein breaks down into amino acids

33
Q

Why must your diet include essential
amino acids?

A

-your cells can’t make it from other molecules
-if you lack even one of them, you can’t make protein properly

34
Q

where does saturated fat get its name from?

A

-Some fats have only single bonds between carbon atoms in the fatty acids.
-Each of these carbon atoms has the maximum number of hydrogen atoms, so the fat is called “saturated.”

35
Q

Explain why it is dangerous to ingest high
quantities of fat-soluble vitamins

A

High intake of fat-soluble or water-soluble vitamins can lead to accumulation of vitamins in body tissues and fluids that cause toxicity and hypervitaminosis

36
Q

What is a calorie?

A

A calorie is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1°C

37
Q

Which nutrient should make up half or more
of your daily intake of nutrients?

A

carbohydrates

38
Q

What term describes a substance that is purified
from foods and taken like a medicine?

A

nutraceutical

39
Q

What term describes a food that has health
benefits beyond the normal nutritional benefit
of the food?

A

functional food

40
Q

What is the difference between a digestive sac
and an alimentary canal?

A

a digestive sac processes nutrients, and food enters and wastes exit through the same opening

41
Q

Why would a herbivore have a longer
alimentary canal than a carnivore?

A

The length of an animal’s alimentary canal is often correlated with diet.
In general, herbivores and omnivores have longer alimentary canals, relative to their body size, than carnivores.
Vegetation is more difficult to digest than meat because it contains cell walls.

42
Q

Explain how the structures of the mouth
prepare the food for processing in the rest
of the digestive system

A

Your mouth functions both in ingestion and in the
beginning of digestion.
-your teeth and tongue work together to accomplish mechanical digestion
-this makes the food easier to swallow and
exposes more surface area so that chemical
digestion can occur more easily
-as your teeth cut and grind the food, your salivary glands secrete saliva.
-saliva is a watery liquid that contains
digestive enzymes, mucus, and other
chemicals to help chemically digest your food
-saliva contains mucus, a sticky substance that coats and lubricates the food so that it can slide down the tube without harming the tissues that line the tube

43
Q

(a) Define the term “peristalsis.”
(b) Explain the function of peristalsis in
digestion.

A

peristalsis is when food is pushed through the esophagus by a series of muscle contractions

-during peristalsis the muscles contract in a wave-like motion that forces the bolus of food toward the
stomach

44
Q

Explain how the structure of the stomach enables
both mechanical and chemical digestion

A

Pits in the lining of the stomach secrete gastric juice(mixture of hydrochloric acid, enzymes,
and mucus) which breaks apart cells in food and kills bacteria

The churning action of muscles in the stomach wall mixes contents in the stomach
-This form of mechanical digestion turns the
bolus into an acidic, nutrient-rich liquid called
chyme
