Questions and Answers
Under what circumstance would the urinary bladder most likely resemble a pear shape?
Under what circumstance would the urinary bladder most likely resemble a pear shape?
- When the bladder is surgically removed and preserved for anatomical study.
- When the bladder is at its maximum capacity, nearing the point of involuntary emptying.
- When the bladder is completely empty and in a folded state within the pelvic region.
- When the bladder is partially full, allowing it to expand from its folded state. (correct)
During a medical examination, a patient is diagnosed with renal calculi. What specific area is affected by this condition?
During a medical examination, a patient is diagnosed with renal calculi. What specific area is affected by this condition?
- Obstruction of the ureter.
- Formation of crystals in the kidney. (correct)
- Structural damage in the kidney.
- Infection of the urinary bladder.
What is the primary mechanism allowing the bladder to expand and contract to accommodate varying volumes of urine?
What is the primary mechanism allowing the bladder to expand and contract to accommodate varying volumes of urine?
- The bladder features multiple layers of expandable tissue that unfold as it fills and contract when it empties. (correct)
- The bladder's smooth muscle becomes more elastic with age, allowing for greater capacity.
- The bladder is anchored by elastic ligaments that stretch to accommodate filling.
- The bladder's outer layer is composed of a unique, flexible membrane that stretches easily.

Study Notes
- According to Bernoulli's principle, a fluid's increase in speed occurs with a decrease in pressure, or a decrease in potential energy.
How Wings Generate Lift
- The shape of a wing is called an airfoil and airfoils are shaped to control airflow.
- When a plane's wing moves through the air, air moves faster over the top of the wing because it has to travel further.
- Faster moving air exerts less pressure.
- The slower moving air under the wing exerts more pressure.
- The difference in pressure creates lift.
- Lift is an upward force.
- The angle of attack also affects lift.
- The angle of attack is the angle between the wing and the direction of the air.
- Lift increases with the angle of attack.
- If the angle of attack is too high, the wing will stall and lift will be lost.
