The increases in ventilation (VE) and CO are inversely proportional to the increase in metabolic rate, allowing venous blood gas and pH levels to remain close to baseline values during exercise b. The decrease in ventilation (VE) and CO are closely matched to the decrease in metabolic rate allowing venous blood gas and pH levels to remain close to baseline values during exercise c. The decrease in ventilation (VE) and CO are closely matched to the increase in metabolic rate, allowing venous blood gas and pH levels to remain close to baseline values during exercise d. The increases in ventilation (VE), and CO are closely matched to the increase in metabolic rate, allowing arterial blood gas and pH levels to remain close to baseline values during exercise Answer: D During exercise, skeletal muscle activity results in an increase in cellullar 02, requirements and ill the amount of CO2, that must be carried to the lungs for removal from the body.

The lungs receive a greater portion of the cardiac output b. More blood shifts to the venous portion of the circulation c. The heart receives a lesser portion of the cardiac throughout d. The heart receives a greater portion of the cardiac output e. More blood shifts to the arterial portion of the circulation Answer: B When the person suddenly stands upright, gravity acts on the vascular volume causing blood to accumulate in the lower extremities. (Compare the size of veins in the top of your feet while lying down and standing.) Because venous compliance is high and the veins readily expand with blood, most of the blood volume shift occurs in the veins. Therefore, venous volume (Vol) and pressure (VP) become very high in the feet and lower limbs when standing. This shift in blood volume decreases thoracic venous blood volume (CV Vol) and therefore central venous pressure (CVP) decreases. 92.

Oxidative phosphorylation b. Release cytochrome C which activates an enzyme involved in apoptosis c. Stores calcium d. Site of protein synthesis Answer: D Cytochrome c, an essential component of the electron transport chain initiates apoptosis when released from mitochondria. Mitochondria are in constant communication with the cytosol to coordinate the balance between the energy demands of the cell and energy production by oxidative phosphorylation. Mitochondria have evolved to control a diverse number of processes including cellular energy production, calcium signalling and apoptosis. Reference: Osellame, L. D., Blacker, T. S., & Duchen, M. R.

A patient presents with a tumor in his posterior pituitary gland. Which of the following is a possible manifestation? a. Hyponatremia, weight gain, restlessness b. Polydipsia and polyuria c. Fatigue, mental retardation, weakness d. Hyperhidrosis, exophthalmos, heat intolerance Answer: A Local pituitary tumor may cause exaggerated secretion of arginine vasopressin (AVP), resulting in the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). One of the effects of SIADH is hyponatremia, and can present with headache, muscular cramps, weakness, lethargy, restlessness, disorientation, depressed reflexes, seizures, coma, or respiratory arrest.

The endocrine system mostly uses the negative feedback mechanism but there are some instances where it uses positive feedback. Which of the choices illustrates this? a. An increase in blood sugar levels triggers release of insulin from the pancreas which increases sugar uptake in cells thus making the blood sugar level drop b. An decrease in blood calcium level is sensed by the parathyroid gland and it secretes more parathormone which then stimulates calcium release from bones and increases calcium in the blood c. An increase in oxytocin stimulates muscle contractions that push an infant through the birth canal. The stronger contractions activate the uterine stretch receptors thus further increasing levels of oxytocin d. An increase in systemic blood pressure activates receptors in the carotid sinus which send signals to the brain, the final response being bringing blood pressure back to normal Answer: C In negative feedback, the response will reverse or cause the opposite effect of the original stimulus. Negative feedback can be explained with the process of insulin production and release. After a meal the blood sugar level will be elevated. This triggers the release of insulin from pancreas. Insulin converts sugar into cells and hence the blood sugar level drops. Another example of negative feedback is the regulation of the blood calcium level. The release of oxytocin from the posterior pituitary gland during labor is an example of positive feedback mechanism. Oxytocin stimulates the muscle contractions that push the baby through the birth canal. The release of oxytocin result in stronger or augmented contractions during labor. The contractions intensify and increase until the baby is outside the birth canal. Reference: Casas, R. (2022, March 28). Negative and Positive Feedback Mechanisms. Cerritos Colleges.

A therapist is asked to estimate the percentage of a patient’s body that has been burned. The patient is a 32- year-old man of normal size. Burns are located along the entire anterior surface of the face. The patient also burned the entire anterior portion of the right upper extremity in an attempt to guard himself from flames. Using the rule of nines, what percentage of the patient’s body is burned? a. 9% b. 18% c. 4.50% d. 27% Answer: A Face → 4.5% ® Anterior UE → 4.5% The “rule of nines” is commonly utilized to assess the percentage of the body surface affected by a burn. Each area of the body has a specific percentage allocated to it in order to approximate the total percentage of the body surface affected. The values are as follows: head (9%), each upper extremity (9%), the trunk (36%), each lower extremity (18%), and the genital area (1%) 209.

Esophagitis d. Heartburn ANSWER: A Ratio: Achalasia is a motility disorder characterized by esophageal aperistalsis and nonrelaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition that develops when reflux of gastric contents causes symptoms and complications. Generally, achalasia and GERD are thought to be at opposite ends of the spectrum of LES dysfunction. In achalasia, the LES may be hypertensive and show impaired relaxation in response to swallowing. In GERD, the LES can either be hypotensive or display frequent relaxations. Reference: Park, H. (2017). Is gastroesophageal reflux disease and achalasia coincident or not?. Journal of neurogastroenterology and motility, 23(1), 5. 214. A physical therapist is treating a 40‐year‐old business executive who lives a sedentary lifestyle. The patient tires quickly and complains of quadriceps fatigue and "burning" after 2 minutes on the stair stepper. The therapist explains to the patient that the "burning" is probably due to lactic acid build‐up in muscles. Which of the following statements is incorrect? a. Lactic acid build‐up is due to the aerobic system not keeping up with the energy demands of the muscles. b. Lactic acid builds up is more quickly in an unconditioned person than in a conditioned person exercising at the same intensity level c. A small amount of lactic acid is produced at low to moderate intensity levels of exercise d. Only the anaerobic system is active during rest Answer: D Both anaerobic and aerobic systems are active during rest. The anaerobic system is working at least at a cellular level during rest. The level of lactic acid produced at rest is not enough to cause any build‐up. The aerobic system is also working at least at a cellular level during high‐intensity activity. 215. A fall in the glomerular filtration rate is seen in the following situations, EXCEPT: a. Fall in blood pressure. b. Efferent arteriolar contraction c. Increase in plasma protein concentration d.
