Select the ways in which the kidneys buffer hydrogen ions before they are eliminated via the urine. Check all that apply

Bicarbonate ions (HCO3-) in the tubular fluid neutralize H+., Na2PO4 (dibasic sodium phosphate) reacts with some of the H+, replacing one of the sodium ions in the buffering process.

During the absorptive state nutrients may be used immediately to meet energy demands./ Glycogenolysis is most likely utilized to meet energy demands during the postabsorptive state./ Gluconeogenesis most likely occurs at least 4 hours after the last meal.

Which of the following is a change in the male body during puberty? Check all that apply

Increase in testis and scrotum size/ Hair growth in the axillary region, pubic region, and face/ Increased rate of spermatogenesis/Increased testosterone levels resulting in increased libido (sex drive)

The extracellular fluid compartment includes what fluids? Check all that apply.

Micelles are required for lipid absorption./ Carbohydrates are absorbed as monosaccharides.

Why is proper nutrition an important part of slowing the rate of senescence?

More than almost anything else, senescence can result from obesity.

Which of the following is a principal source of body heat? Check all that apply

Which of the following is a method of motility in the small intestine? Check all that apply.

Segmentation/ Peristalsis Peristalsis/ Migrating motor complex

Semen is very low in volume and the sperm cells have difficulty with motility because there isn't enough of an energy supply to power their flagella. Which of the following accessory glands of male reproduction may be malfunctioning? Check all that apply

Seminal vesicle/ Thymus gland

Which of the following statements is true regarding why hot, humid weather hinders temperature regulation?

The humidity decreases the ability to evaporate sweat off the body, and radiation adds heat to the body rather than allowing heat to leave the body.

The renal tubules secrete H+ into the tubular fluid, where most of it binds to bicarbonate, ammonia, and phosphate buffers.

True

Which of the following statements regarding cholesterol is true? Check all that apply

Vigorous exercise can lower serum cholesterol levels./ High density lipoproteins (HDL) help remove cholesterol from the body./ Cigarette smoking can increase the levels of LDLs in the blood./ A diet low in saturated fat will lower serum cholesterol more than a diet low in actual cholesterol.
