physioex 9.0 Review Sheet Exercise 4 Endocrine System Physiology Name: Kelly E. Fischer Lab Time/Date: 7:00 PM/Wednesday Activity 1 Metabolism and Thyroid Hormone Part 1 1 Which rat had the fastest basal metabolic rate (BMR)? The normal rat had the faster basal metabolic rate‚ because it was not missing its pituitary gland or its thyroid gland. 2 Why did the metabolic rates differ between the normal rat and the surgically altered rats? How well did the results compare with your prediction

health in two ways. First of all‚ exercise provides to strengthen the cardiovascular health. That is‚ regular exercise decreases the risk of heart attack. In that way‚ exercise improves the circulation of blood. Also‚ the heart pumps a lot of blood through the veins with more than the normal amount of oxygen. Therefore‚ regular exercise is important for cardiovascular health. The second way is that regular exercise helps people to increase

Sample Physiology MCQs 1. Compound action potentials can be graded responses. True 2. The sciatic nerve contains axons of both afferent and efferent neurones. True 3. The absolute refractory period of an action potential is the period after an initial stimulus when it is impossible to evoke another action potential with a second stimulus. True 4. The refractory periods of individual axons are important as they dictate the maximal action potential firing rate of a neuron. True 5. Compound action

Exercise 6: Cardiovascular Physiology: Activity 4: Examining the Effects of Chemical Modifiers on Heart Rate Lab Report Pre-lab Quiz Results You scored 100% by answering 4 out of 4 questions correctly. 1. The parasympathetic nervous system releases __________ to affect heart rate. You correctly answered: d. acetylcholine 2. A cholinergic drug that worked the same as acetylcholine would You correctly answered: c. be an agonist and decrease heart rate. 3. Norepinephrine affects the heart rate

CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM The Cardiovascular system consists of the cardio -heart and the vessels that carry blood to all parts of the body. If this system does not work properly then oxygen‚ hormones‚ water‚ nutrients and wastes won’t reach their target destinations. 5 liters of blood in body. BLOOD Blood is a fluid connective tissue and Plasma is the matrix that separates the red and white blood cells and the platelets from one another. Plasma also transports dissolved substances such

CONCENTRATION AND DILUTION Physiology 1‚ Las Positas College Name: In science‚ concentration is a measure of the number of particles (solutes) in a given volume. If one room has 100 people in it‚ and a room of equal size has 50 people‚ one can say that the concentration of people in one room is twice that of the other. Quite simple‚ isn’t it? On a molecular level‚ consider whether you put one lump or two of sugar‚ or no sugar at all‚ in your coffee. If you use two lumps‚ you prefer twice

Activity 1: Electrical Stimulation 1. Do you see any kind of response on the oscilloscope screen? NO 2. What was the threshold voltage‚ or the voltage at which you first saw an action potential? 3.0 V 3. How does this tracing compare to the one that was generated at the threshold voltage? The tracing travel in the same fashion but the tracing were different with an increase threshold voltage 4. What reason can you give for the change? Increase voltage 5. Record this maximal voltage here:

Activity 1 1. Increasing extracellular K+ reduces the net diffusion of K+ out of the neuron through the K+ leak channels because the membrane is permeable to K+ ions. Therefore‚ the K+ ions will diffuse down its concentration gradient from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. 2. Increasing extracellular K+ causes the membrane potential to change to a less negative value because the K+ ions diffuse out across the membrane. My results went well compared to my prediction

Activity FOUR There is a direct relationship between the MWCO and the filtration rate; the higher the MWCO‚ the higher the filtration rate. Powdered charcoal is the solute that did not appear in the filtrate when using any MWCO membranes. As pressure increases‚ the filtration rate also increases‚ as long as the MWCO does not decrease. Since we have no control over the MWCO of a living membrane‚ we can increase the rate of filtration by increasing the pressure. The molecular weight
