Describe the activation, proliferation and differentiation of T cells and B cells and briefly describe the functions of the differentiated cells.

1.
A patient has the misfortune to
have both diabetes insipidus and Addison’s disease. How will those conditions
affect the patient’s ability to regulate blood pressure?

2.
In the correct sequence, list
the names of the blood vessels and heart’s chambers that an RBC would travel

and then back to the heart. Take in consideration only the vessels listed in
the Study Guide.

3.
Describe the activation,
proliferation and differentiation of T cells and B cells and briefly describe the functions of the
differentiated cells.

4.
You eat spaghetti with
meatballs in marinara sauce and drink a glass of orange juice. Describe the
chemical components of your meal, the digestive events in the mouth, and the
content of your stomach one hour after you ingest the meal and juice, and
describe what happens to the chemical constituents in the stomach. Describe the
digestive processes for each of these nutrients in the small intestine, and the
mechanisms for absorption of vitamins, water, and electrolytes.

5.
Describe the pressures that
affect glomerular filtration, and describe the effects of drinking too much
beer on the urinary system.

6.
List and briefly describe the
mechanisms that prevent acid-base imbalances from appearing in the body. In
addition, indicate where each
mechanism functions most significantly. (Do not explain any specific chemical reactions.)

7.
. Describe the path of a sperm
cell from the site of its maturation to the site of the acrosomal reaction.
Include the major function of each segment in this process and descriptions and
functions of fluids added along that path.
