Document Summary

Lab #4 | the urinary system & kidneys. The left kidney may sit a little higher than the right kidney because there is a large liver above the right kidney. During development the right and left kidneys ascend, and the right kidney"s ascent may be stopped by the large liver superior to it. The kidneys are enclosed within a renal capsule // provides structural support and protection. Deep to the renal capsule is the renal cortex // where blood filtration occurs. The renal medulla // the innermost layer of the kidney. It contains around ~7 8 cone-shaped renal pyramids that transport urine from the cortex to the calyces. The renal columns are an extension of the cortex that separate the renal pyramids and provide structural support. The renal pelvis collects all the urine and transports it to the urinary bladder via the ureter. The renal hilum is the area where the blood vessels and ureter are located.

In 2017, it was discovered that naked mole rats (Heterocephalus glaber) could survive up to 18 minutes in an anoxic (0% oxygen) environment without any permanent damage to the organism. The normal body temperature of naked mole rats is 30Â°C, making them poikilothermic animals that are able to operate at a range of body temperatures and to alter its body temperature based upon the environment. Even if the animals are warmed to 37Â°C, they still survive 6 minutes in an anoxic environment, which is still more than 5 minutes longer than the survival of other rodents like mice. You are already familiar with the H. glaber hemoglobin, but as usual, this does not fully explain the naked mole rat ability to survive anoxia.

Blood glucose concentrations during anoxia were found to be similar in mice and mole rats, but during normoxic (normal oxygen levels) conditions, naked mole rate had a blood glucose concentration of 3.49mM while mice had 6.66mM, making them appear hypoglycemic compared to other rodents and mammals.

Consider the regulation of glycolysis. What are the advantages or disadvantages of using fructose as an energy source for a human? What are the potential advantages for the naked mole rat during anoxia?

Both quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot reveal that there are higher levels of GLUT5, but not GLUT2 or GLUT1, in the liver, kidney, brain and heart of naked mole rats compared to mice. Why was this important to test? Does this confirm your supposition from above about how naked mole rats survive anoxia?

1. Which of the following is the correct sequence of bloodflow?

a. heart --> atery --> arteriole --> capillary -->vein --> venule --> heart

b. heart --> vein --> venule --> capillary -->arteriole --> artery --> heart

c. heart --> artery --> arteriole --> capillary -->venule --> vein --> heart

d. heart --> artery --> venule --> capillary -->arteriole --> vein --> heart

e. heart--> artery --> capillary --> arteriole -->venule --> vein --> heart

2. What are the functions of the elastic fibers that are foundin the walls of ateries? (there may be more than one answer)

Select one or more:

a. they allow the artery to stretch and then recoil back to itsoriginal shape as blood is forcegully pumped from the heart intothe arteries

b. they allow arteries to lengthen as the volume of blood in thearteries increase

c. they help maintain a steady blood pressure during thedifferent phases of heart contraction

d. they smooth out the walls of the arteries to preventturbulent blood flow

3. Which of the following are functions of the lymphatic system?(there may be more than one answer)

Select one or more:

a. help fight infections and cancer

b. allows excess interstitial fluid (fluid found between thecells in your tissues) to get dumped back into your blood

c. brings large molecules from fat digestion into thebloodstream so that they can be processed and stored

d. all of the above are functions of the lymphatic system

4. Which of the following blood vessels bring newly oxygenatedblood from the blood vessels in the lungs back to the heart so thatthe heart can pump it to the rest of the body?

Select one:

a. aorta

b. inferior vena cava

c. pulmonary vein

d. pulmonary artery

5. Which of the following mechanisms help blood fight gravity sothat, for instance, it can return from blood vessels in your feetback into your heart? (there may be more than one answer)

Select one or more:

a. breathing allows the pressure in your chest to decrease andallow blood to flow up towards your heart

b. as you walk, the skeletal muscles in your legs contract andsqueeze the veins; since veins have valves, blood flows up anddoesn't backflow back down

c. the force of blood flowing out of the heart and into thearteries pushes all of the blood along, causing blood to return tothe heart

d. precapillary sphincters open to allow blood to flow backtowards the heart

6. The tricuspid and bicuspid/mitral valves prevent backflow ofblood from the atria into the ventricles.

Select one:

True

False

7. The following sequence represents the correct order of bloodflow through the heart:

inferior and superior vena cava --> right atrium --> rightventricle --> pulmonary artery --> lungs --> pulmonaryvein --> left atrium --> left ventricle --> aorta

Select one:

True

False

8. Capillaries are as wide as one red blood cell.

Select one:

True

False

9. The purpose of the coronary arteries is to bring oxygenatedblood to the walls of the heart so that the muscles in the heartwalls can contract.

Select one:

True

False

10. Vasodilation refers to the narrowing of blood vessels.

Select one:

True

False

I'll be thankful if someone can help me to do this!

According to this:

Read the following New York Times article and then answer the questions below and then answer the questions New Clues to Sex Anomalies in How Y Chromosomes Are Copied

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/15/science/15chrom.html?scp=1&sq=sex%20anomalies&st=cse

This activity contains 5 questions.

When discarding bad genes, what does the Y chromosome recombine with?

	the other Y chromosome
	the compliment X chromosome
	itself
	nothing

What holds a pair of copied chromosomes together?

	chromatid
	centrosome
	centromere
	chromatin

A person with Turner's syndrome has which of the following?

	a single X chromosome
	two X chromosomes
	a single Y chromosome
	two Y chromosomes

Where is the male-determining gene on the Y chromosome?

	close to the end of the right arm
	close to the end of the left arm
	near the middle of the right arm
	near the middle of the left arm

Briefly explain how an individual can have some cells with no Y chromosome and other cells with a double-Y chromosome . (in your response, go beyond the article, search the web, use experiences from your life, broaden your horizons)

You must make 2 reflective, thoughtful, deep, constructive critiques of your class mates posts. as part of a threaded discussion following their initial post. The critiques must not about you, but about science!

Here's the first peson. Needs to reply for some of her answers as it says above.

1. When discarding bad genes, the Y chromosomes recombines with itself.

2. The centromere functions to hold a pair of copied chromosomes together.

3. A person with Turnerâs syndrome is born with a single X chromosome.

4. The male-determining gene on the Y chromosome is located close to the end of the left arm.

5. An individual can have some cells with no Y chromosomes and other cells with double Y chromosomes, due to the differing variants present in regards to the genotypes of the cells in a single individual. When the Y chromosome is compared to other chromosomes such as the X chromosome, mutations and deviation in the distance of the centromere are much more prevalent due to the Y chromosome lacking a backup system to promote repairs.¹ (Links to an external site.) Even if a mutation caused a condition such as the XYY syndrome where two Y chromosomes are present, that mutation and genotype would not be present in every single cell of the individual.² (Links to an external site.) The presence of different genotypes offers an tentative explanation to as why a single individual can have some cells with no Y chromosomes while also housing other cells with double Y chromosomes.

Here's the second person. Needs to do the same as it says above.

1. Itself

2. Centromere

3. A single X chromosome

4. Close to the end of the left arm

5. Briefly explain how an individual can have some cells with no Y chromosome and other cells with a double-Y chromosome.

In some cases, the Y chromosome reaches over to a neighboring counterpart and the two chromosomes fuse. This results in the loss of part of the chromosome. Jacobâs Syndrome is sometimes also called XYY syndrome because the person has two Y chromosomes. Although a person can survive with this genetic mutation, some physical traits may be observed such as taller than average height, weak muscle development or late speech development.
