24
Q

During normal quiet breathing, approximately 750 ml of air moves into and out of the lungs with each breath. T/F

25
The loudness of a person's voice depends on the ________. - length of the vocal folds  - thickness of vestibular folds  - force with which air rushes across the vocal folds  - strength of the intrinsic laryngeal muscles 
force with which air rushes across the vocal folds 
26
``` Process by which simpler chemical units pass through the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract into the blood or lymph. Indigestion  Hydrolysis  Absorption  Digestion  Peristalsis  ```
Absorption 
27
``` Increases HCl secretion and stimulates contraction of intestinal muscle. Gastric Inhibitory Peptide  Secretin  Gastrin  Cholecystokinin  ```
Gastrin 
28
Pepsinogen is the precursor to the gastric enzyme for protein digestion and is secreted by the parietal cells. T/F
F
29
The absorptive effectiveness of the small intestine is enhanced by increasing the surface area of the mucosal lining. Which of the following accomplish this task? - the rugae and haustra  - Brunner's glands and Peyer Patches  - the vast array of digestive enzymes  - plicae circulares, villi, and microvilli 
plicae circulares, villi, and microvilli 
30
``` Gastrin, histamine, endorphins, serotonin, cholecystokinin, and somatostatin are hormones or paracrines that are released directly into the lamina propria. Which of the following cell types synthesize and secrete these products? parietal cells  zymogenic cells  enteroendocrine cells  mucous neck cells  ```
enteroendocrine cells 
31
``` Fenestrated vessels that allow passage of all plasma elements but not blood cells. Afferent arterioles  Efferent arterioles  Peritubular capillaries  Glomerular capillaries  Vasa recta  ```
Glomerular capillaries 
32
In the kidneys, the countercurrent mechanism involves the interaction between the flow of filtrate through the nephron loop of the juxtamedullary nephrons (the countercurrent multiplier) and the flow of blood through the limbs of adjacent blood vessels (the countercurrent exchanger). This relationship establishes and maintains an osmotic gradient extending from the cortex through the depths of the medulla that allows the kidneys to vary urine concentration dramatically. T/F
T
33
If the GFR is too low, needed substances may pass so quickly through the renal tubules that they are not absorbed and instead are lost in the urine. T/F
F
34
Which of the choices below is not a function of the urinary system? - helps maintain homeostasis by controlling the composition, volume, and pressure of blood  - eliminates solid, undigested wastes and excretes carbon dioxide, water, salts, and heat  - maintains blood osmolarity  - regulates blood glucose levels and produces hormones 
eliminates solid, undigested wastes and excretes carbon dioxide, water, salts, and heat 
35
Select the correct statement about the ureters. - The ureter is innervated by parasympathetic nerve endings only.  - The epithelium is stratified squamous like the skin, which allows a great deal of stretch.  - The ureters are capable of peristalsis like that of the gastrointestinal tract.  - Ureters contain sphincters at the entrance to the bladder to prevent the backflow of urine.
-The ureters are capable of peristalsis like that of the gastrointestinal tract. 
36
``` Spaces between cells. Intracellular  Nonelectrolytes  Electrolytes  Extracellular  Interstitial  ```
Interstitial 
37
``` Possibly occurring with emphysema, extreme obesity, or narcotic overdose Metabolic acidosis  Metabolic alkalosis  Respiratory acidosis  Respiratory alkalosis  ```
Respiratory acidosis 
38
Solutes, regardless of size, are able to move freely between compartments because water carries them along the osmotic gradients. T/F
F
39
Heavy consumption of salt substitutes high in potassium can present a serious clinical problem when aldosterone release is not normal. T/F
T
40
Atrial natriuretic peptide is a hormone that is made in the atria of the heart. The influence of this hormone is to ________. - activate the renin-angiotensin mechanism  - prevent pH changes caused by organic acids  - reduce blood pressure and blood volume by inhibiting sodium and water retention  - enhance atrial contractions
