MAP= SV x HR x TPR (Stroke volume, heart rate, total peripheral resistance) -Baroreceptor Reflexes: receptor for the change in pressure -Located in: carotid sinuses, aortic arch, walls of large elastic arteries of neck and thorax -When blood pressure rises - baroreceptor reflexes cause the heart rate to decrease which then causes the blood pressure to decrease -When blood pressure decreases - causes the heart rate to increase and restore blood pressure levels -Are not effective at protecting against sustained pressure changes - this is a SHORT TERM fix -Kidneys work to regulate our blood volume. An increase in blood volume will increase our blood pressure -Direct mechanism: if the blood pressure increases, kidneys cannot filter all the fluid so more leaves as urine; if we excrete more urine, this will decrease our blood volume and will then decrease blood pressure; if blood pressure decreases, the kidneys will conserve water to increase blood volume and increase blood pressure -Indirect mechanism: Renin-Angiotensin system If blood pressure decreases the kidneys will secrete renin into the blood Renin acts on angiotensinogen to form angiotensin I ACE acts on angiotensin I to form angiotensin II Angiotensin II stimulates the release of aldosterone (aldosterone tells the kidneys to conserve sodium) Angiotensin II increases ADH release (ADH tells kidneys to conserve water) Angiotensin II increases thirst - increases water intake Angiotensin II stimulates vasoconstriction; increases resistance

The residual volume remains unchanged regardless of the lung volume at which expiration was started. 1200ml Dead space: -air that is present in the conducting zone and isn't involved -called anatomical dead space -about 150 ml iv. Use of spirometer to: -evaluate losses in function -follow course of disease -doesn't provide specific diagnosis -differentiates between obstructive and restrictive lung diseases v. Boyle's law: -relationship between pressure and volume of gases (inversely related) -P1V1= P2V2 -P= pressure of gas in mm Hg -V= volume of gas in cubic mm vi. Dalton's law of Partial Pressures: -Total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases= sum of the pressures exerted independently by each gas in the mixture -pressure exerted by each gas (its partial pressure) is directly proportional to is percentage in the total gas mixture vii. Henry's law: -When mixture of gas is in contact with liquid, gas will dissolve in liquid in proportion to its partial pressure -Ability of gas to dissolve in liquid depends on solubility of gas in liquid and temperature of liquid. Oxygen is only 1/20th as soluble viii. Ventilation-perfusion coupling: Ventilation inadequate: -arterioles constrict -redirects blood to area where P02 higher Passageways where CO2 is high -dilation to eliminate CO2 rapidly

b. State the order and briefly describe the stages of hemostasis, namely: i. Vascular spasm ii. Platelet plug formation iii. Coagulation (Fibrin formation)

i. Vascular spams: First, immediate response, Triggered by: 1. Direct injury to a vascular smooth muscle (vasoconstriction) 2. Chemicals released by endothelial cells and platelets 3. Reflexes initiated by local pain receptors ii. Platelet plug formation: Von Willebrand factor- enhances platelet stickiness to collagen -Platelets release serotonin, ADP, and thromboxane A2 - attract more platelets to site and is a positive feedback iii. The last three steps of coagulation: 1. Prothrombin activator formed 2. Prothrombin activator converts prothrombin is converts to thrombin 3. Thrombin catalyzes joining of fibrinogen molecules into fibrin mesh Both intrinsic and extrinsic pathway both lead to factor X activation Factor X + TF/ PF3 + Ca2 + Factor V= prothrombin activator

Chapter 18 (The Heart): a. Identify and describe the external and internal anatomical structures of the heart [Figure 18.5 (b, d, and e)] including: i. The components of the pericardium and the layers of the heart wall [Figure 18.3]. ii. Types of heart valves and roles of each.

i. pericardium- is what encloses the heart the layers of heart- epicardium, myocardium, endocardium ii. AV: Atrioventricular Values: Mitral (bicuspid) and tricuspid - atria into ventricle- prevent back flow of blood SL: Semilunar valves: Aortic and Pulmonary- blood from the ventricle to the outside of the heart

e. Describe and state the roles of the following features or cells of the GI tract in digestion: i. rugae of the stomach ii. gastric glands 1. Mucous neck cells 2. Parietal cells 3. Chief cells iii. Exocrine pancreas iv. liver v. Gallbladder

i. rugue- allow for the expansion of the stomach after the consumption of foods and liquids, greater surface area ii. gastric glands- produce gastric juice 1. Mucous neck cells- acidic mucus 2. Parietal cells: -HCL (pH 1.5- 3.5, activates pepsin) -intrinsic factor, glycoprotein required for vit B12 absorption 3. Chief cells- pepsinogen iii. accessory exocrine digestive organ -produces many enzymes (as well as releasing bicarbonate) , break down all categories of foods- in the small intestine - trpsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, Kyrocarboxypeptidase, pancreatic lipase, amplise iv. accessory organ associated with small intestine -many metabolic and regulatory functions -digestive functions: produce bile for export to duodenum (bile emulsifies fat) v. the gallbladder- -stores bile that is not immediately needed for digestion -concentrates bile by absorbing water and ions

c. Identify the primary sex hormones for the male and female.

males: androgen females: estrogen and progestrone

e. Identify the most active reabsorption site of the nephron.

proximal convoluted tubule

d. Identify the 3 accessory glands that contribute to semen production

seminal gland, prostate gland, bublo-urethral gland

d. Describe the role of the renin-angiotensin mechanism in blood pressure regulation.
