"Which white blood cell is not capable of phagocytosis? - CORRECT ANSWER=> Lymphocytes." "Some people have an excessive immune response to an allergen, called anaphylaxis. Describe what happens in anaphylaxis. - CORRECT ANSWER=> Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction against a pathogen, insect bite, or drug. During anaphylaxis, antibodies are overproduced by B-cells. These circulating antibodies increase capillary permeability throughout the body, causing symptoms within minutes. Symptoms may include swelling in the form of hives and narrowed respiratory pathways. In severe cases, known as anaphylaxis shock, the capillaries become so dilated that it causes a person's blood pressure to drop too low, leading to collapse. Individuals can die from anaphylactic shock because the heart stops beating or the airway passages close completely, so the person can no longer breathe."

"Which white blood cell is not capable of phagocytosis? - CORRECT ANSWER=> Lymphocytes."

"Some people have an excessive immune response to an allergen, called anaphylaxis. Describe what

happens in anaphylaxis. - CORRECT ANSWER=> Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening allergic

reaction against a pathogen, insect bite, or drug. During anaphylaxis, antibodies are overproduced by B- cells. These circulating antibodies increase capillary permeability throughout the body, causing symptoms within minutes. Symptoms may include swelling in the form of hives and narrowed respiratory pathways. In severe cases, known as anaphylaxis shock, the capillaries become so dilated that it causes a person's blood pressure to drop too low, leading to collapse.

"Match the following female reproductive organs to the correct description. - CORRECT ANSWER=>

Ovaries: Almond-shaped glands, main reproductive organ in females. Oviducts: Also called the fallopian tubes. Fimbriae: Fingerlike projections on the infundibulum end of the tube furthest from the uterus. Ampulla: This region fertilizes the egg or zygote during its early cell divisions. Isthmus: This region opens into the uterus, delivering the developing embryo into the uterine cavity" "Label the parts of the male reproductive system below (letters A-D) and describe the purpose of D. -

CORRECT ANSWER=> A. Vas deferens

B. Penis C. Epididymis D. Testis

The testis is responsible for the production of sperm and testosterone." "True or False: If false, explain why the statement is false. The ovaries are involved in the production of

estrogen and testosterone. - CORRECT ANSWER=> This statement is false. The ovaries are involved in

the production of estrogen and progesterone." "Development of a fetus in the uterus is divided into three trimesters. Choose one of the trimesters and name which months the trimester covers and at least two human development processes that occur in

that trimester. - CORRECT ANSWER=> During the first trimester (months 1-3), key body systems such as

the nervous and cardiovascular system begin to develop. Just after implantation, around week 3, the heart begins to beat. Around week 5, neurulation occurs. This is the formation of the neural tube from the outer folds of the ectoderm. By week 6, the fetal heartbeat can be detected on an ultrasound. The head shape is formed by this time but it is disproportionately large for the majority of the first trimester. By the end of week 8, the embryo is considered a fetus and begins to move. The fetus is still too small during the first trimester for fetal movement to be felt by the mother. The arms and legs begin to form and by week 13, the fetus has moveable joints, fingers, and toes. The eyes, ears, and nose begin to form but they are not on the correct location on the head. During the second trimester (months 4-6), the eyes, ears, and nose move to the correct location on the face. The head and body become more proportionate. Around the 16th week, the eyes begin to detect light and dark, and unique fingerprints develop on the hands. The mother will begin to feel fetal movement around week 18-21. Lanugo, or fetal hair, develops on the body for warmth,. The fetus also develops sleep/wake cycles and the heart begins to beat in a regulated pattern. The third trimester (months 7-9) is characterized by the continued development of the systems already in place. For males, the testes descend into the scrotum. The baby increases in weight and begins to develop fat under the skin. Sucking reflexes develop around week 32. Lung maturation and temperature regulation are vital for the survival of the baby outside of the uterus." "True or False: If false, explain why the statement is false. Both the male and female urinary systems are

comprised of 2 kidneys, 2 ureters, 1 bladder, and 1 urethra. - CORRECT ANSWER=> This statement is

true." "List the order of the protective layers of the kidney (superficial to deep). Which is responsible for

anchoring the kidney inside the abdominal cavity? - CORRECT ANSWER=> Renal fascia > adipose

capsule > renal capsule The renal fascia anchors the kidney in place." "Describe the differences in the male and female urethral anatomy. Be sure to provide implications for

"What prevents continuous stimulation of a nerve synapse and how is this accomplished? - CORRECT

ANSWER=> the synapse does not have continuous stimulation because of how the neurotransmitters

are released. the neurotransmitters within the synapse can be rapidly broken down by enzymes or reabsorbed or repackaged. when the neurotransmitters are not engaging with the post synaptic neuron, the sodium channels on those dendrites wont be stimulated to open, and then there wont be a signal sent down that neuron's axon."

"Botulism is a disease caused by a neurotoxin that interferes with the release of Acetylcholine. Patients with this disease experience flaccid paralysis, or the inability to contract their muscles. Explain why this

would occur. - CORRECT ANSWER=> if acetylcholine cannot be released, muscles are forced to stay

One of the main functions of the cell body is to manufacture neurotransmitters, which are chemicals stored in secretory vesicles at the end of axon terminals. When NTs are released by the axon terminal vesicles, they carry the transmission of the nerve impulse from one neuron to another."

"True or False: Myelin sheath is continuous and has no gaps. - CORRECT ANSWER=> False"

"List the four types of support neuroglial cells in the central system and a function of each. - CORRECT

ANSWER=> Ependymal cells circulate cerebrospinal fluid and allow fluid exchange between the brain,

spinal cord, and cerebrospinal fluid. Oligodendrocytes act as the insulation for CNS axons. Astrocytes control chemical environment of neurons by wrapping around the blood capillaries, forming the blood brain barrier. Microglial cells protect the CNS by scavenging dead cells and infectious microorganisms."

"What is the technical term used to describe a nerve impulse and what causes the impulse? - CORRECT

ANSWER=> A nerve impulse is called an action potential and is caused by the movement of unequally

distributed ions on either side of an axon's plasma membrane." "An axon's membrane is polarized with a resting potential of -70 mV. Explain what this means and what

maintains this resting potential. - CORRECT ANSWER=> The axon plasma membrane is polarized,

meaning that one side has a different charge than the other side. This difference called a resting potential means that the charge on the inside of the axon's cell membrane is 70 millivolts less than the outside of the membrane. A sodium-potassium pump using active transport carries ions across the plasma membrane and because 3 Na+ ions are pumped out as 2 K+ ions are pumped in, a relative positive charge develops and is maintained on the outside of the membrane."

"What are the four steps of an action potential in order? - CORRECT ANSWER=> Resting potential,

depolarization, repolarization, afterpolarization (hyperpolarization)" "Describe what happens to the charges on the axon cell membrane during depolarization and what

causes this to happen. - CORRECT ANSWER=> Sodium gates open and sodium rushes into the axon.

The inside becomes more positive than the outside, causing the membrane potential to become more positive." "Describe what happens to the charges on the axon cell membrane during repolarization and what

causes this to happen. - CORRECT ANSWER=> The sodium gates close and potassium gates open,

allowing potassium to rush out of the axon. This returns a negative charge to the inside of the axon re- establishing the negative potential."

"Describe what happens during afterpolarization. - CORRECT ANSWER=> The potassium gates that

open during repolarization are slow to close, and there is an afterpolarization undershoot of the potential."
