"Economy class syndrome" is a popular term used to describe deep vein thrombosis when it occurs in air
travelers on long-haul flights. In deep vein thrombosis, a large cylindrical blood clot forms in a vein of the
leg. If the clot breaks free and begins to move with the blood flow, it is likely to lodge in the: - Answer
pulmonary artery.
The fibres responsible for conveying pain and temperature sensations from the skin to the spinal cord
are: - Answer unmyelinated fibers
,After a satisfying lunch, you are likely to experience the results of: - Answer Upregulated
parasympathetic system activation
Releasing and inhibiting hormones are produced by the: - Answer hypothalamus to control the anterior
pituitary
Which organ is NOT associated with the digestive system?

A middle-aged, overweight man suffers a heart attack (myocardial infarction). About a week later the
wall of his left ventricle, weakened by the presence of an area of dead muscle, ruptures. Blood from the
left ventricle exits through the rupture and enters the pericardial space. As pressure rises in the
pericardial space, it compresses the ventricles and begins to affect the filling of the ventricles during
diastole. If atrial pressure remains the same, which of these is the lowest (pericardial) pressure when
there will be no ventricular filling? - Answer 10mmHg
A coronal section that cuts through letters Q, E and C is likely to contain all of the following structures
EXCEPT: - Answer Substantia Nigra
Which neurotransmitter is used at the synapse by both motor neurons and pre-ganglionic autonomic
neurons? - Answer Acetylcholine
Identify the organ that is NOT associated with the peritoneum in the Rat.
- Bladder
- Mesentery Tissue
- Gall Bladder
- Kidney
,- Pancreas - Answer Gall Bladder
Blood flows into the coronary arteries from the: - Answer ascending aorta
The function of the chordae tendineae is to: - Answer prevent eversion of the AV valves during
ventricular systole
Paired masses of gray matter within the white matter of the cerebrum that are rich in dopamine and are
involved in maintenance of muscle tone are the: - Answer basal ganglia
The compound that most often acts as a second messenger is: - Answer cAMP
Which of the following happens most rapidly in our bodies when we are in a situation of immediate
danger or alarm? - Answer Sympathetic nerve signals affect various body functions.
When you started your rat dissection, the first serous membrane which you cut with scissors was the: -
Answer parietal peritoneum
Which of the following statements is correct about the left ventricle?

List the elements of the heart's conduction system in the correct order - Answer SA node, AV node, AV
bundle, bundle branches, conduction myofibers

- The ventricular inlets are larger than the outlets
- The right ventricle is crescent-shaped in cross-section
- The aortic valve is posterior to the pulmonary valve
- The atria and great veins are more posterior than the ventricles and great arteries - Answer The apex
of the heart is comprised mainly of the right ventricle
During the cardiac cycle, the volume of blood in the ventricles: - Answer decreases most rapidly early in
the phase of ventricular ejection
Cardiac output refers to the - Answer volume of blood ejected from the left ventricle per minute
The diameter of blood vessels most directly affects: - Answer resistance
Stimulation of the heart by autonomic nerve fibers traveling with the vagus nerve causes: - Answer
decreased heart rate and no change in ventricular contractility
All of the following are treatments for Parkinson's disease EXCEPT:
