Question: What two factors directly affect cardiac output?
(a) stroke volume and resistance
(b) stroke volume and heart rate
(c) heart rate and mean arterial pressure
(d) heart rate and total peripheral resistance - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔b- stroke volume and heart
rate
Question: What is heart block? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Impaired transmission of impulses from
atrium to ventricle resulting in slower heart rhythms, and pacemaker would be implanted
Question: The bones of the skull, veretbral column, and rib cage are part of the _______ -
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Axial skeleton
Question: Name 2 of the 4 factors affecting the velocity of action potential conduction. -
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Axonal diameter, myelination, chemical factors (alcohol and anesthetics),

Question: What division of the nervous system regulates skeletal muscles? - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔Somatic nervous system
Question: A ____ consists of one motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it innervates -
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔motor unit
Question: Explain the polar nature of water , that is, why is water polar? - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔The oxygen is more electronegative compared to hydrogen resulting in the
electrons spending more time around oxygen conferring a partial negative charge on the oxygen
and less time around hydrogen thus conferring a partial positive charge on the hydrogen.
Question: In what form and in what location(s) do humans store the majority of their
carbohydrates? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Humans store their carbohydrates as glycogen in the
liver and in skeletal muscles.
Question: How can the Na+/K+ pump relate to the process of secondary active transport? -
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔The ATP-driven Na+/K+ pump stores energy by creating a steep
concentration gradient for Na+ entry unto the cell. As Na+ diffuses back across the membrane
through a membrane co-transporter protein, it drives glucose against its concentration gradient
into the cell.
Question: What type of chemical bond holds two water molecules together? - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔Hydrogen bonding

Question: What two hormones control bone remodeling? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Parathyroid
hormone and calcitonin
Question: The Frank-Starling law of the heart indicates that the stretching of cardiac cells lead
to: - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Increased contractile force, which increases stroke volume
Question: Explain the negative feedback mechanism that occurs when blood calcium levels
become too low - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Parathyroid hormone is released and it (1) increases
osteoclast activity activity (2) increases calcium absorption from food (requires vitamin D) , and
(3) increases calcium reabsorption at the kidneys. These three responses cause blood calcium
levels to return to normal.
Question: Phagocytosis and pinocytosis are both specific types of which vesicular transport? -
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Endocytosis
Question: Depolarization opens more sodium channels, which leads to increased
depolarization, which increases sodium permeability . This is an example of
(a) negative feedback
(b) positive feedback
(c) homeostasis
