CSCC A&P II Final Exam
Select the hormone secreted when blood glucose is low which acts to increase blood levels back up to
normal. - Glucagon
Hyper (over) ventilation of the lungs due to anxiety and manifests as low blood carbon dioxide and acid
levels along with corresponding increase blood pH. - Respiratory Alkalosis

the lungs and gastrointestinal tract. - Cystic Fibrosis
An autoimmune disorder which affects the joints: - Rheumatoid Arthritis
Decreased Cardiac Output is caused by: - Decreased Heart Rate
Expiration will occur when: - The pressure is higher in the lungs and lower in the atmospheric
pressure
