Portage Learning A&P I Final Exam
Note: Essay answers must clearly be in your own words. Answer the following essay question: Describe parietal cells and chief cells: name their location, secretions and purposes.
Parietal and chief cells are located in the stomach wall and they secrete gastric juices and mucous, secrete hormones that regulate digestive activity; also, parietal cells produce HCl in the stomach; and, chief cells secrete te enzymes pepsinogen, rennin, and gastric lipase. The parietal cells (located in the wall of the stomach body) secrete hydrochloric acid, generating a pH of 1.3-3.5. This very acidic pH kills many of the bacteria ingested along with food. In addition, the low pH stops the activity of salivary amylase. The secretion of hydrochloric acid is essential in the activation of pepsin. Chief cells: secrete pepsinogen. Pepsinogen (a pre-enzyme) is secreted by the chief cells in the stomach. Hydrochloric acid converts the inactive pepsinogen (secreted by the chief cells) into the active enzyme pepsin which begins the breakdown of proteins.

Note: Essay answers must clearly be in your own words. In your own words, discuss Tay-Sachs disease. What organelle within the cell is impacted? What are the symptoms of the disease and why do they occur?
Tay-Sachs disease is a result from a lack of an enzyme that degrades another specific type of glycolipid; and, these glycolipids build up in the lysosomes (organelle within the cells that is impacted) of the brain, leading to progressive neural dysfunction and typically death by age 4 or 5 years; furthermore, other symptoms include seizures, muscle, weakness, vision and hearing loss, etc. 1. Lysosomes 2. Build up of toxic lipids inside the cell (biomacromolecules) 3. Disability or death
Note: Essay answers must clearly be in your own words. Answer the following essay question: Name and explain the four main functions performed by the digestive system.
The 4 main functions performed by the digestion system are ingestion (through the mouth), digestion (mechanical and chemical), absorption (food/nutrients for circulation), and defecation (excretion of waste products).
List two organs contained in the abdominal cavity.
The abdominal cavity contains the stomach, intestines, spleen and liver
Describe the position of the diaphragm in relation to the thoracic cavity in anatomical position terms. Use a full sentence for your description.
The diaphragm (muscle) assists in dividing the abdominopelvic region of the thoracic cavity by being superior to the organs (stomach, intestines, spleen, liver) of the abdominal cavity.
Note: Essay answers must clearly be in your own words. You are observing two cells under the microscope. They are the same type of eukaryotic cell but one appears much larger. Based on appearance alone, which one would you expect to be carrying out respiration at a more active rate, the larger or smaller cell? Explain why.
The smaller cell. Cell needs to remain relatively small because as a cell expands the amount of surface area relative to the volume of the cell decreases. The smaller cell is more active because relative to its volume, its surface area is larger than a bigger cell. With a larger surface area (relative to its volume) this allows metabolic processes to occur faster.

Explain in detail why the thyroid becomes enlarged during an iodine deficiency?
When there is a low level of thyroxin in the blood, the anterior pituitary gland continues to produce TSH; so, the thyroid reacts by increasing in size and producing a goiter, but this increase in size is ineffective because active thyroxin cannot be produced without iodine.

A patient has a diagnosis of osteoporosis. (1) In your own words, describe this diagnosis and (2) What type of bone cell would they be lacking? Explain your answer.
(1) The textbook states that osteoporosis is a bone tissue disease where the bone tissue degenerates faster than it is replaced making the bones weak, causing increased pain, and more likely to fracture due to them being brittle. (2) Furthermore, there would be a decreased number of osteoblasts, which are responsible for bone repair; also, the bone repair would be unable to keep up with the ongoing breakdown of the bone which is responsible in the process that included the osteoblasts that take the calcium from the blood.
Answer the following essay question (10 points): 1. Muscular dystrophy is a neuromuscular disease which restricts the lungs from fully expanding due to muscular weakness. If a person is diagnosed with muscular dystrophy: 1) Which of the following statements regarding pulmonary function would be true? 2) Explain your answer. A. Inspiratory capacity would be abnormally low B. Vital capacity would abnormally high C. Total lung capacity would remain the same
1. A. Inspiratory capacity would be abnormally low 2. Due to the muscular dystrophy muscles that would be responsible for inspiration would most likely be damaged; and, this accounts for progressive weakness and degeneration of skeletal muscles surrounding the lungs; so, the breathing process would be impaired because the muscles that help in expanding the lungs are at a weakened state; and, they would be unable to expand for inhalation; therefore, the "inspiratory capacity would be abnormally low" possibly leading to other issues.

A doctor is looking to prescribe a larger dose of a vitamin that would not easily cause vitamin toxicity. What type of vitamin would be the best to prescribe? Explain your answer.A. Water soluble vitaminB. Fat soluble vitaminC. All of the above
A. Water soluble vitamin; excess amounts of water soluble vitamin will not be stored in the body, so the body uses what it needs and secretes the remain; also, on the other hand, the body uses what it needs from the fat soluble vitamins and then stores it within the tissues and organs, and taking too many fat soluble vitamins regularly can cause vitamin toxicity along with other side effects.

Explain why someone who has hypergastrinemia (excessive secretion of gastrin) might develop gastric/stomach ulcers.
Hypergastrinemia leads to excess secretion of the gastrin hormone, which induces excess secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach; and, the excess acid then acts as a protective mucousa layer causing disruption that can lead to those ulcers. Gastrin stimulates the secretions of pepsinogens and hydrochloric acid. Excess amounts would lead to erosion of the stomach lining.
You are observing two cells under the microscope. They are the same type of eukaryotic cell but one appears much larger. Based on appearance alone, which one would you expect to be carrying out respiration at a more active rate, the larger or smaller cell? Explain why.
I believe it is the smaller cell that will breathe at a more active rate because in order for respiration to occur efficiently and more actively the surface area to volume ratio is very critical; also, if the larger surface area is present then the diffusion of gases occur at a higher rate; so, larger cells will have a smaller surface to volume ratio and diffusion that will occur at a slower rate creating a less active respiration; and, on the other hand smaller cells will have a larger surface area to volume ratio and an improved diffusion rate, so the higher rate and more active respiration. The smaller cell. Cells need to remain relatively small because as a cell expands the amount of surface area relative to the volume of the cell decreases. The smaller cell is more active because relative to its volume, its surface area is larger than a bigger cell. With a larger surface area (relative to its volume) this allows the metabolic processes to occur faster.
