Q

What is the difference between totipotent stem cells, pluripotent stem cells and unipotent stem cells?

A

“Totipotent” embryonic stem cells develop into an individual; zygote & cells arising from first 4 divisions of new embryo. “Pluripotent” embryonic stem cells give rise to any cell type, later cell divisions of the embryo. Unipotent most adult stem cells are “unipotent” & give rise only to specific cell lineages (ex: blood, skin).

Q

Describe the role of a negative feed-back mechanism in the control of body temperature

A

A process in which a change causes a response that reverses the change. Example: A negative feedback mechanism keeps internal body temperature near 37°C (98.6°F). When internal temperature rises, changes in blood flow, respiration, and sweat production cool the body.

40
Q

ADH increases the number of aquaporins in the cell membrane of the tubules in the nephron—what is the function of an aquaporin?

A

Aquaporins are protein channels that allow for rapid movement of water molecule .Aldosterone is another hormone that conserves water—release of this hormone from the adrenal cortex is the result of the action of an enzyme known as renin which activates the angiotensin pathway.

41

44
Q

T/F: An endothermic animal adjusts for heat stress by decreasing activity and dilating blood vessels to release heat. T/F An endothermic animal adjusts for cold stress by constricting blood vessels and shivering to conserve heat. T/F: An ectothermic animal must rely on behavioral responses to heat and cold stress—an example is basking in the sun to warm up.

A

all true.

45
Q

A

Central Nervous System: Brain and spinal cord (mostly interneurons) aka CNS.
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS): Nerves from the CNS to the rest of the body (efferent) and from the body to CNS (afferent) Autonomic nerves and somatic nerves control different organs of the body.

46
Q

Which one is subdivided into the Somatic Nervous System and the Autonomic Nervous System?

A

Peripheral Nervous System

47
Q

T/F: The Autonomic Nervous System is further divided into the Parasympathetic Nervous System and the Sympathetic Nervous System.

A

true

48
Q

Which one of these is involved with the ‘fight-or-flight’ response?

A

Sympathetic nervous system

49
Q

Which one is involved with relaxed, non-stress ‘normal’ activities?

A

Parasympathetic

50
Q

. T/F: Schwann cells are a type of neuroglia that wrap around peripheral nerve axons—this allows the signals to travel as fast as 120 m/s.

A

true

51
Q

What is the difference between sensory and motor neurons

A

Sensory neurons have an axon with one end that responds to stimuli; the other sends signals
Motor Neurons many dendrites and long axon

52
Q

T/F: Sensory information arrives at the spinal cord via dorsal roots and motor signals leave the spinal cord vial ventral roots.

A

true

53
Q

Multiple Choice: Which of the following is true of the structure of a neuron? A. An axon transmits an Action Potential and stimulates release of a Neurotransmitter (chemical signal) B. One or more dendrites receive Neurotransmitter (chemical signal) from other neurons C. Neurotransmitters are made in the cell body and stored in vesicles at the axon terminal until release D. All true…

A

D. All true

54
Q

Multiple Choice: Which of the following is true of an Action Potential? A. This is the result of a change in electrical voltage across the cell membrane (usually negative in the cell and positive outside) in response to a stimulus B. Once a threshold has been reached, the Action Potential is “All or Nothing” (it WILL occur) C. As channels open in response to the change in electrical voltage, sodium enters the cell and Action Potential moves along the length of the axon in one direction (it can’t go back because channels close) D. Once the axon terminal is reached, the Action Potential stimulate Calcium ions to enter the cell and the vesicles containing Neurotransmitters release their contents via exocytosis

A

C. As channels open in response to the change in electrical voltage, sodium enters the cell and Action Potential moves along the length of the axon in one direction (it can’t go back because channels close)
Potassium not calcium
