Q

Swallowing Reflex

A

Your larynx moves up against the epiglottis, thereby closing off the glottis
The uvula, attached to the back of the soft palate, moves back to help close off the internal nares
It is a reflex which occurs automatically when food is pushed to the back of the mouth by the tongue

Q

The percentage of your tidal volume that ventilates your dead space

A

Decreases with exercise

Dead space volume is a constant. If you take deep breaths, as during exercise, then this constant amount will be a smaller percentage of the total

Q

High levels of CO2 in the alveolar environment initiates

A

Relaxation of smooth muscles in bronchioles and vasoconstriction of arterioles

High carbon dioxide means that the alveolus is not getting rid of the gas properly. You should increase that alveolus’s ventilation by dilating the bronchiole, and reduce the blood flow to that lousy alveolus by constricting the arterioles

Q

A function of your digestive tract is to

A

Break down foodstuffs into particles small enough to be absorbed into the blood or lymph
NOT to extract useful energy from the food as it is being digested
You extract energy-and make ATP-inside cells when organic molecules enter the metabolic pathways of glycolysis and aerobic respiration. No useful energy is extracted from the molecules within the gut-it would be lost as heat

Q

As you go up in elevation

Q

Why don’t the cells of the organs that produce digestive enzymes digest themselves before the enzymes are secreted into the gut?

A

The enzymes are manufactured in an inactive form, and are altered and thereby activated only after they are secreted into the gut

T-Cytotoxic Cells

T-Cytotoxic cells

26
Q

27

Plasma cells; remember gamma globulins are antibodies

28

30
Q

Naive B-Lymphocytes

A

Attain immunocompetancy in the bone marrow

31
Q

Attain immunocompetancy in the bone marrow

A

Naive B-Lymphocytes

32
Q

T/F: T-cytotoxic cells are activated by interleukin-2 from T-helper cells, but only after both cells have independently encountered the same type of foreign antigen

A

T

33
Q

T/F: Active immunity results when you actively inject antibodies made by a different organism into your body

A

F

This is passive immunity

34
Q

T/F: Natural killer cells rid the body of aberrant cells that could form tumors

A

T

35
Q

T/F: Antibodies that are produced initially may be less effective in combating an antigen invasion than are antibodies produced later in the infection, because continuous somatic mutation slowly perfects the match between antigen and antibody

A

T

36
Q

T/F: Some T-lymphocytes can bind directly to the antigens on the surface of bacteria

A

F
T-cytotoxic cells bind to antigens within MHC I – and T-helper cells bind to antigens within MHC II – markers on bacteria are incorporated in neither of these self-markers

37
Q

T/F: After an infection has been conquered, you are left with populations of both B-lymphocytes and T-lymphocytes that serve as memory cells for that specific foreign antigen

A

T

38
Q

T/F: The proportion of alveolar air that is water vapor increases as you go up in elevation

A

T
You saturate the air within the alveoli and this amount depends on the temperature. Therefore you add the same amount of water at low and high elevations. However at high elevations this amount will be a larger proportion of the total since there are fewer molecules of other gases per liter of air inhaled

39
Q

T/F: Hyperventilation may cause the body fluids to become more acidic

A

F
Hyperventilation will result in the loss of more carbon dioxide that in produced by the tissues. This reduction of carbon dioxide will lead to a lowering of the acidity of the blood and tissues

40
Q

T/F: Both hemoglobin and myoglobin serve to increase the oxygen carrying capacity of blood

A

F

Myoglobin is in muscles not blood

41
Q

T/F: The cecum, colon, and rectum are part of the large intestine

A

T

42
Q

T/F: During swallowing, pressure of larynx against the epiglottis seals the glottis so food can not enter the trachea

A

T

43
Q

T/F: The pyloric sphincter lies at the level of the diaphragm and helps to keep acid chyme from the stomach from moving back into the esophagus

A

F

This is the gastroesophageal sphincter

44
Q

T/F: Some protein digestion occurs in the stomach, but complete protein digestion occurs in the small intestine

A

T

45
Q

T/F: Energy absorbed into the body in excess of metabolic requirements is stored as fat, because the energy content per pound of fat is over 2 times the energy content per pound of protein or carbohydrate

A

T

46
Q

T/F: Lacteals are lymph vessels located in the centers of intestinal villi and they are used for the uptake of fatty acids produced in the digestion of triglycerides

A

T

47
Q

T/F: Enzymes that activate many pancreatic zymogens are located within the membrane structure of the microvilli of the small intestine

A

T

48
Q

T/F: Epithelial cells lining the stomach are replaced every few days in order to preserve the barrier against an acidic environment

A

T

49
Q

T/F: Vaccines are viruses or bacteria (or pieces thereof) that are injected into your body in order to stimulate an immune response

A

T

50
Q

T/F: Particulate matter settles on mucus that lines the respiratory tract, and then is propelled by the action of cilia up to the pharynx where it is swallowed

A

T

51
Q

T/F: The cells of your immune system are genetically programmed to recognize your “self” markers, so that immune system cells do not need contact with other body cells during their (immune cell) differentiation

A

F
The shape of the immune receptors of lymphocytes is attained by a random genetic process, and those cells which acquired receptors that match your self-markers must be eliminated during the maturation process in the bone marrow (B-cells) or thymus gland (T-cells)

52
Q

T/F: When your digestive tract is irritated and food moves through it too quickly, water is not reabsorbed by the large intestine and diarrhea results

A

T

53
Q

T/F: The P50 is the partial pressure of oxygen in the blood plasma which causes hemoglobin to become 50% saturated. Using this fact, answer the following true or false questions. 1) A person acclimated to high elevations would have a lower P50 than a person acclimated to sea level
2) If you fail to wear gloves on a cold day (but do wear socks and shoes), then the blood in your fingers would probably have a higher P50 than blood in your toes.

A

1) F
Hemoglobin with a low affinity has a higher P50 value than hemoglobin with a high affinity. At high elevations, you have more 2,3 DPG which lowers hemoglobin’s affinity for oxygen. Thus your hemoglobin would have a higher P50 value

2) F
An increase in temperature also causes a Bohr shit - to the right - in hemoglobin which reduces its affinity. Thus colder blood in the fingers would have a higher affinity for oxygen; ie a lower P50
