1. Label a diagram of the respiratory system?? 2. Describe the process of breathing?? Breathing consists of two phases. The first is inspiration and the second is expiration. During inspiration‚ the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles contract. The diaphragm moves downwards increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity and the intercostal muscles pull the ribs up expanding the rib cage and further increasing this volume. This increase of volume lowers the air pressure in the alveoli to below

SUMMARY Chronic renal failure (CRF) is the progressive loss of kidney function. The kidneys attempt to compensate for renal damage by hyperfiltration (excessive straining of the blood) within the remaining functional nephrons (filtering units that consist of a glomerulus and corresponding tubule). The cause for CRF sometimes can be determined by a detailed medical history‚ a comprehensive physical examination‚ and laboratory studies. CRF are common in patients who have multiple myeloma ( cancer

FROG MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY 2) What was the smallest voltage required to produce max contraction? What proportion of the muscle fibers in the muscle do you think were contracting to produce this maximal response? Muscle fibers act in response to isolated stimuli in an all or none fashion. However‚ a muscle organ‚ such as the gastrocnemius muscle‚ is composed of many individual muscle fibers. It is known that all of the fibers in a muscle do not have the same threshold and that a stimulus applied to

6. Is the respiratory system functioning better or worse than it did in the previous activity? Explain why. Worst‚ because the breathing is more shallow and incomplete. The lungs are not able to inhale or exhale as much as in Activity 2. 7. What is the effect of reducing the radius of the air flow tube on respiratory volumes? The air flow was decreasing‚ which decreased the respiratory volume. 8. What does the air flow tube simulate in the human body? The trachea 9. What could be some possible

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
