1. Plasma proteins are not normal constituents of the urine, as they are not allowed to pass through the capillaries of the glomerulus (site of blood filtration in the kidney).A streptococcal infection of the kidney can result in glomerulonephritis. In this disease the basement membrane of the capillaries loses its negative charge, allowing proteins to leak into the urine. This results in proteinurea (protein in urine) or albuminurea (albumin in the urine). What are the consequences of this loss of proteins?

2. NASA is interested in the potential effects of zero gravity on the functioning of the cardiovascular system. Due to your superb knowledge of cardiovascular physiology, the head of the space program gives you a call to ask you for your input. What might you tell them about the probably alterations in cardiovascular physiology which would occur in a zero gravity environment?

1) At what point is the amount of oxygen at its highest?

		in the capillaries during strenous activity
		in the lungs
		in the capillaries at rest
		in muscle tissue during strenous activity

2) You have diagnosed a patient with an iron deficiency. Themost likely result of this is

		low carbon dioxide content
		very red blood
		low oxygen content

3) Why are insects limited to relatively small sizes?

		Their respiratory system relies on diffusion which is slow overlong distances
		Their respiratory muscles are smooth muscle only
		They have a closed circulatory system
		Their exoskeleton cannot support larger-bodied animals

4) Air rushes into the lungs of humans during inhalationbecause

		the volume of the thoracic cavity increases
		pressure in the alveoli increases
		the diaphragm contracts and pushes upward on the chestcavity
		smooth muscle lining the trachea and bronchi contracts andcauses their volume to increase

Match the vessel characteristic on the left with the appropriatevessel type on the right (each vessel type will be used more thanonce, only 1 BEST answer for each characteristic).

Substance exchange with the tissues takes place in thesevessels

These vessels are the main site of vascular resistance

Active hyperemia directly affects the diameter of thesevessels

Very low resistance vessels that act as a pressure-reservoir due totheir elasticity

These vessels contain one-way valves throughout their length

The walls of these vessels are composed of a single layer ofendothelial cells and a thin basement membrane

Very low resistance vessels that serve as a volume reservoir due totheir compliance

The velocity of blood flow is the least in these vessels

These vessels carry blood back to the heart

Blood flow in these vessels is directly aided by the skeletalmuscle pump

The total cross-sectional area of this type of vessel(cross-sectional area of all these vessels combined) exceeds thetotal cross-sectional area of every other type of bloodvessel

These are the first vessels that carry blood away from theheart
