BIOD 152 final exam questions and answers
\Q\.a bolus is formed by the _________ - ANSWERS✔-tongue
\Q\.a patient damaged the radial nerve. what action is most likely limited
a. elbow flexion
b. hip extension
c. wrist flexion
d. wrist extension - ANSWERS✔-d
\Q\.a patient had a CVA in the area indicated by the red X in the figure below. what time of
blindness is the patient most likely to incur
a. left eye blindness
b. right eye blindness
c. bilateral left visual field blindness
d. bilateral right visual field blindness - ANSWERS✔-c
right optic tract is damaged
all sensory info from the left visual field travels together after the optic chiasm to the right side
of the brain
\Q\.a patient is admitted to the ER with hives and difficulty breathing. what is most liekly
happening - ANSWERS✔-anaphylaxis
\Q\.a patient is suspected to have peripheral edema due to heart failure. which side of the
heart would be in failure? - ANSWERS✔-right
right side cannot pump blood into heart efficiently so blood and fluid build up in the veins
causing swelling in body tissues
, \Q\.a person is hyperventilating. this falls under what control mechanism? - ANSWERS✔-
respiratory control
increases respiration rate, eliminating excess CO2 causes pH to rise and restore normal blood pH
\Q\.based strictly on anatomical structural differences are males or females more likely to get a
UTI - ANSWERS✔-female
female urethra is shorter and only carries urine while the male urethra is 5 times longer
external opening is close to the anus
improper wiping or poor hygiene after defecation can carry fecal bacteria into the urethra
\Q\.blood enters the spleen via the ____________ - ANSWERS✔-splenic artery
\Q\.blood leaves the spleen via the ________ - ANSWERS✔-splenic vein
\Q\.describe how memories are stored and retrieved in the brain - ANSWERS✔-stores
throughout cerebral hemispheres
hippocampus acts as memory center to help with memory storage and retrieval
\Q\.describe in detail what happens during an emergency to control the rate of blood to the
kidney - ANSWERS✔-nervous system takes over
afferent arterioles narrow by sympathetic nerve fibers
release of epinephrine by adrenal medulla causea decrease in renal blood flow and decreases
GFR
\Q\.describe the difference between the two types of nephrons - ANSWERS✔-cortical
nephrons: within cortex except for portions of loops of Henle which extends into the medulla
