1. What are the two components of a nephron?: 1. Renal corpuscle
2. Renal tubule
2. What is the function of the renal corpuscle?: Renal corpuscle filters blood
plasma
3. What is the function of the renal tubule?: Renal tubule refines the filtered fluid
(filtrate) into urine
4. Identify the components of a nephron and their functions.: Renal
corpuscle: filters blood plasma Renal tubule: refines the filtered fluid (filtrate) into urine
5. Identify the components of the renal tubule.: Proximal convoluted tubule
(PCT), Nephron loop (loop of Henle), Distal convoluted tubule (DCT)
6. Identify the cells that produce insulin.: Beta cells or B cells of the pancreatic
islets
7. Identify the cells that produce calcitonin.: parafollicular cells of the thyroid
gland
8. Identify the stimulus for release of insulin.: high blood glucose levels
(hyperglycemia)
9. Identify the cells that produce glucagon.: alpha cells (A cells) of the pancreatic
islets
10. Identify the stimulus for release of glucagon.: Low blood glucose
levels (hypoglycemia)
11. Identify the enzyme that is involved in the pathways of
external and inter-nal respiration and the reaction that it catalyzes:
carbonic anhydrase and it catalyzes the conversion of carbon dioxide into carbonic acid
12. Identify the methods of carbon dioxide transport within
blood: 1. Dissolved carbon dioxide 2. carbamino compounds 3. bicarbonate ions
13. Identify the methods of oxygen transport within blood.: 1.
dissolved oxygen 2. oxyhemoglobin
14. Define hypoxia: a deficiency of oxygen at the tissue level
15. Define hypocapnia: deficiency of carbon dioxide in the blood
16. Define hypercapnia: elevated levels of carbon dioxide in the blood
17. Identify a potential causes of an elevated basophil count.:
Basophils elevate during allergic reactions
18. Identify the structure that fails to function properly when a
person chokes.-

19. Identify the structure that fails to function properly
during the clinical condition of gastroesophageal reflux disease
(GERD).: lower esophageal sphincter
20. Identify the correct order of the components of the
digestive/GI tract from the beginning to the end.: mouth, pharynx, esophagus,
stomach, small intestine, large intestine
