Q

True or false, a single recessive gene is all that is required for the offsprint to demonstrate or show a trait?

A

FALSE

A single recessive gene is not sufficient for an offspring to demonstrate or show a recessive trait. For a recessive trait to be expressed, the offspring must inherit two copies of the recessive allele

1 Dominant one Will show

Q

What structures pass information to the cerebellum to aid in balance and body position?

A

Vestibular System:
The vestibular apparatus in the inner ear detects changes in head position and movement. Information from the semicircular canals (detecting rotational movement) and otolithic organs (detecting linear movement and gravity) is sent via the vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII) to the cerebellum to help coordinate balance.
Proprioceptive Pathways:

Proprioceptors in muscles, tendons, and joints send information about the position and movement of limbs to the cerebellum via spinal cord pathways. The main pathway involved is the spinocerebellar tract, which carries proprioceptive information from the body.
Corticospinal Tract:

The cortex sends motor information to the cerebellum to refine voluntary movements and aid in coordination, especially through the corticocerebellar pathways.
Reticular Formation:

The reticular formation in the brainstem, which is involved in regulating muscle tone and postural control, also sends feedback to the cerebellum.

Q

True or False, The organ of smell is the olfactory epithelium, located at the roof of the nasal cavity?

A

True

The organ of smell is the olfactory epithelium, and it is located at the roof of the nasal cavity. The olfactory epithelium contains olfactory receptor cells that detect odor molecules in the air. These receptor cells send signals to the brain via the olfactory nerve (CN I), allowing us to perceive smells.

Endoderm (Lining of the digestive tract (stomach, intestines), respiratory system (lungs, trachea)

Mesoderm
(Muscles (skeletal, smooth, and cardiac),
Bones and cartilage,
Heart and blood vessels (vascular system),
Kidneys and reproductive organs,
Connective tissues (e.g., dermis of the skin).

20
Q

how does pregnancy cause varicose veins?

A

The weight of the baby puts pressure on the veins in the pelvis, making it difficult for blood to leave the legs.

During pregnancy, the body needs more blood for the baby and placenta. This can stretch blood vessels and make it harder for blood to return to the heart.

Pregnancy hormones, like progesterone, can relax blood vessel walls and make it harder for valves to function.

As the uterus enlarges to accommodate the growing fetus, it can exert pressure on the inferior vena cava (the large vein that returns blood from the lower body to the heart). This pressure reduces blood flow and causes blood to pool in the veins of the legs, leading to swelling and varicose veins.

21
Q

During coagulation blood is transferred from a liquid to a gel in multiple steps porocess that involves what substance?

A

During coagulation, the process of blood changing from a liquid to a gel, the plasma protein fibrinogen is converted into fibrin:

Fibrinogen: A soluble protein in plasma
Fibrin: An insoluble polymer that forms a mesh that traps blood cells

22
Q

Intrinsic and extrensic coagulation INFO RESEARCH

A

CHECK

23
Q

How many extrensic eye muscles are there? and What are they ?

A

Six extrinsic eye muscles

Superior Rectus, Inferior Rectus, Medial Rectus, Lateral Rectus, Superior Oblique, Inferior Oblique

24
Q

The spleen is often referred to as the “red blood cell graveyard” because?

A

A key role in the destruction and removal of old or damaged red blood cells (RBCs).

The spleen filters the blood, removing old, damaged, or abnormal red blood cells from circulation. By macrophages in the spleen.

Breakdown of hemoglobin, are processed in the spleen, and the iron is recycled… for the production of new red blood cells in the bone marrow.

The spleen also removes debris and pathogens from the bloodstream, contributing to the immune response.

25
Q

What germinal tissue forms the gonads, and kidneys?

A

Intermediate mesoderm connects the paraxial mesoderm with the lateral plate.

26
Q

What are the steps of Hemostasis?

A

Vascular spasm: Blood vessels constrict to reduce blood loss

Platelet plug formation: Platelets stick to damaged tissue to form a temporary plug

Coagulation cascade: Coagulation factors in the blood amplify clotting to stabilize the plug

Fibrin plug formation: The platelet plug and fibrin form a solid clot

Basophils also contribute to the defense against parasites and the regulation of certain immune processes.

45
Q

Metabolic Changes During preg

A

suppresses and replaces the
mother’s growth hormone. It enhances nutrient availability
to the fetus by stimulating lipolysis and glucose production

Human placental lactogen (hPL)

CRH levels rise, the mother’s ACTH and cortisol (Prep for stress

Nausea, Heart burn, Sickness, Cant poop

Kidneys produce more urine during pregnancy

Respiratory changes

Cardiac- Mean blood pressure typically decreases during midpregnancy, but then rises to nor- mal levels during the third trimester. Cardiac output increases by 35–40% at various stages of pregnancy.
