Why do you think the diving response is considered advantageous? What other factors should be accounted for during a real dive that were not simulated in this experiment?

Advantages: reducing the heart rate to conserve body heat. Blood kept from the extremities prevents excess heat loss and directs o2 supply to the vital organs. Disadvantages: fxn of skeletal muscles is deminished due to the decrease in blood flow. Factors that weren't seen in this lab: a full body submersion would cause a different response (e.g. metabolic response to maintain homeostasis).

Select the statement that is not correct.

Drinking 800 ml of Sprite or similar sodas, results in glucose appearing in the urine in healthy people.

Describe any change in pulse amplitude you observed during and after the simulated dive.

During the dive pulse amplitude was smaller, because peripheral (extremeties) circulation decreases during the dive.

Select the statement about sodium that is not correct.

Excess sodium taken in the diet is rapidly (over an hour or so) excreted in the urine.

Select the statement about insulin that is NOT correct.

Insulin release can be stimulated by sympathetic nerves.

List the hormones that play a role in glucose metabolism. Of these, which is the most important in regulating blood glucose after absorption of a glucose load?

Insulin, Glucagon, Cortisol, Growth Hormone, Epinephrine, Thyroid Hormone. Insulin is the most important.The

What would happen if your water intake over sixty minutes significantly exceeded the maximal volume you could excrete in this period? Why could this be life threatening?

It can cause brain swelling which is very dangerous and can be life threatening.

Your "lub-dub" recordings probably show some differences from the correct timing of the heart sounds as judged by phonocardiography. How can you account for this difference?

It is difficult for a person to react correctly for every heart beat causing some human error and not matching the coreect timing of the heart sound.

Select the statement about gastric emptying that is NOT correct.

It is not affected by hormonal or nervous influences.

Select the statement about insulin that is NOT correct.

It is not needed for glucose entry into skeletal muscle cells.

Are the amplitudes and durations of the various waves in different individuals similar or very different

Most amplitudes and duration of waves in different individuals are different because no two people are identicle. Each person can have a different level of activity, could be in different body shape and can have faster or sower heart rates

The P wave and the QRS complex represent depolarization of the atrial and ventricular muscle respectively. Why does the QRS complex have the largest amplitude

The QRS complex has a larger amplituide because it requires a higher pressure. Ventricles are bigger than atria and ventricular muscle is thicker than atria.

What is the osmolarity of the fluid in the interstitial space in the renal cortex? Is it the same throughout that space?

A lot of water and salt are being reabsorbed in the renal cortex causing the osmolarity to stay about the same since both of them are being reabsorbed at the same time. Remaing the same throughout the space. the osmolarity in the interstial fluid of the renal cortex is about 300 mOsm/L

Both decrease osmolarity, however water has a higher decrease than sprite.

In what regions of the body are carbohydrates digested? Of these, which region is the most important?

Carbohydrates are digested in the mouth, stomach and small intestine. The small intestine is the most important becasue this is where pancreatic enzymes break down dissaccurides into monosaccirides for absorption.

Change is very little

Which of the following is responsible for generating the first heart sound?

Closing of the AV valves

Which one of the following is responsible for generating the second heart sound?

Closing of the semilunar valves

What cellular mechanisms are involved in glucose absorption from the small intestine?

Glucose and Sodium are transported together into the cell using the SGLUT1 transporter. Sodium moves down the electrochemical gradient which provides the energy to move glucose against its own chemical gradient. Glucose then exits the cell into the interstial fluid down its chemical potential gradient via one of the GLUT family of transporters (GLUT 2). The sodium is then activley transported by the NA-K-ATPase into the interstual fluid.

Explain why ventricular relaxation (diastole) and the 'dub' sound occur after the T wave.

The blood pressure drops below that of the artery and the semilunar valve closes.

What factors influence the rate of gastric emptying?

The greater the liquid the greater the rate of gastric emptying

Provide a physiological explanation for the results for the isosmotic sodium chloride solution and the hyposmotic solution (Protocol 3 - green vs Protocol 2 - blue)?

The hyposmotic solution causes a dilution in body fluids since the solutes are staying unchanged and you are just adding water. Once the body fluids are diluited the plasma osmolarity decreases. This decrease inhibits osmoreceptors in the anterior hypothalmus.This decreases thirst and inhibits the secretion of ADH. Because the water is beig reabsorbed less water is being circulated, also the inhibition of thirst all causes the plasma osmolarity to increase again.In the isomotic solution the extracellular osmolarity remains the same, therefore there is no stimulus to supress ADH secretion.

Provide a physiological explanation for the blood glucose results of drinking the glucose solution (Protocol 2 - blue) compared to ingesting the white bread (Protocol 3 - green)?

The liquid is more quickly absorbed because of its form compared to white bread. This explains the boost in glucose after the liquid is drank

Explain why ventricular contraction (systole) and the 'lub' sound occur immediately after the QRS complex.

The lub sound after the QRS is comming from the closure of atrioventricular valves.

Provide a physiological explanation for the blood glucose results of ingesting the white bread (Protocol 3 - green) compared to ingesting the potato chips (Protocol 4 - pink)?

The potato chip digests slower because of the fat in the chips

What factors influence the rate of carbohydrate absorption from the small intestine?

The rate of carbohydrate absorption from the smaill intestine can be influenced by the amount of enzymes secreted by the pancreas and the nature of the material to be.

The volunteer was out of breath, fatigued, increased body temperature, and the volunteer began to sweat.

What can you say about the amplitude of the various waves in different cardiac cycles?

There is normally little difference between different cardiac cycles. The QRS amplitude is usually the greates and the P wave is normally the smallest amplitude in a normal cardiac cycle.

The range for a normal resting heart rate is 60 to 90 bpm. A trained athlete could have a resting heart rate of 45 to 60 bpm. Why might a very fit person have a slower heart rate than someone of average fitness?

They have a larger stroke volume.

Vasoconstriction in the exercising muscles

The R-R interval consists of the sum of QRS, S-T, T-P and P-R. Which of these became shorter when the heart rate increased?
