1. What is an example of compensatory hyperplasia: Liver regeneration
2. What causes the rapid change in the resting membrane potential to
initiate an action potential: Sodium gates open, sodium rushes into the cell,
changing the membrane potential from negative to positive

from who: Both parents are carriers
6. Describe the chromosomal defect related to Prader Willi Syndrome:
Imprinting, deletion, 4mb of chromosomes 15, inherited from Father short
structure, hypotonia, small hands and feet, obese, mild to moderate mental
retardation, hypogonadism
7. What mechanism can cause hypernatremia: Caused by loss of H2O, DM
insufficient H2O intake
Hypertonic solution
Over secretion of aldosterone
Cushing syndrome because of adrenocorticotropic hormone

center, disorder of the lung parenchyma, alveolar hypoventilation CO2 is
retained increase in H+, CO2 excess in blood Over sedation, brainstem trauma

reactions are related to elevations of what leukocyte: Neutrophils
11. In which structure do B lymphocytes mature and undergo changes that
commit them to becoming B cells: Bone marrow

respiratory secretions: IgA

own tissue against an autoimmune response: Regulatory T (Treg) cells 14. The
common hay fever allergy is expressed through a reaction that is mediated
by class of immunoglobulins: IgE
15. How many months does it take the newborn to sufficiently be protected
by antibodies produced by its own B cells: 6-8 months
