Answer the following two questions:
1. Explain why a patient with liver disease would have intolerance to fatty foods.
• The liver produces bile which breaks down fats. If it is not producing bile (or less bile), fats will not be broken down effectively.
2. Explain in detail how the stomach contents enter the small intestine.
• The pyloric sphincter (valve), located at the base of the stomach, relaxes causing a small quantity of chyme to pass through the opening into the first part of the small intestine.
This initiates a reflex that causes the muscles of the sphincter to contract and close the opening temporarily. Then the sphincter relaxes again and allows more chyme to enter.

Answer the following five short-answer questions:
1. Tendons connect which types of tissue? Connect muscle to bone
2. Acetylcholine is what type of substance? Neurotransmitter
3. During a muscle contraction which protein myofilament contains cross-bridges? Myosin
4. What is the name of the thick myofilament? Myosin
5. What must occur for a muscle contraction to stop? Calcium ions must be pumped back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum
Answer the following essay question:
Describe how acetylcholine, sodium ions and calcium ions work together to enable a muscle contraction.
• Acetylcholine (a special chemical called a neurotransmitter) is released from a motor nerve at the neuromuscular junction (or NMJ).
Acetylcholine binds to receptors on the muscle fiber that cause sodium channels to open. Sodium ions rush in- side the cell, triggering an action potential which eventually reaches the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
Calcium ions are released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum of the muscle cell, causing a muscle contraction to oc- cur.

(1) Lysosomes
(2) buildup of toxic lipids inside the cell (biomacromolecules)
(3) disability and death
In the genetic disease known as Tay-Sachs, one of the normally present digestive enzymes inside lysosomes is lacking. Thus, a toxic lipid in the brain cells cannot be broken down. The resulting buildup of lipids in these cells can cause intel- lectual disability and death.
2. You are observing two cells under the microscope. They are the same type of eukaryotic cell but one appears much larger. Based on appearance alone, which one would you expect to be carrying out respiration at a more active rate, the larger or smaller cell? Explain why.
The smaller cell. Cells need to remain relatively small because as a cell expands the amount of surface area relative to the volume of the cell decreases. The smaller cell is more active because relative to its volume, its surface area is larger than a bigger cell. With a larger surface area (relative to its volume) this allows the metabolic processes to occur faster.

Describe what is meant by muscle fiber “cross-bridges”. What occurs to enable movement of the cross-bridges? Cross bridges occur when calcium ions are present. This causes portions of the myosin filaments to bend backwards & attach to actin filaments. Once this attachment occurs, the cross- bridges bend forward and the actin filament is pulled along.
The cross-bridges attach and detach between 50-100x as the thin filaments are pulled to the center of a sar- comere. ADP is need on a cellular level for the myosin cross-bridges to pull the actin filaments.
Module 6
1. Explain two reasons why a woman with low levels of LH would not be able to become pregnant.
A woman would not be able to become pregnant with low levels of LH because:
1. LH acts on the ovary to cause ovulation to occur
2. LH causes progesterone release to facilitate the potential fertilization of the effort and pregnancy. Progesterone is a key hormone for the maintenance of pregnancy.
2. Would you expect a female to have testosterone in their bloodstream? Explain why or why not.
Yes because males and females produce some levels of this hormone but females do not produce enough to affect the gonads/ the ovaries the way that it affects the testes.

D. I cause blood glucose to rise and breakdown stored nutrients. Glucagon
1. Explain in detail how PTH and calcitonin work to maintain calcium balance.
Calcitonin is a hormone that lowers the level of calcium in the blood and deposits calcium into the bone. It also opposes the action of the PTH produced by the parathyroid glands.
PTH also retain calcium through excreting phosphate at the kidneys. In the bones, pTH promotes the activity of osteo- clasts to demineralize to demineralize the bone, increasing the amount of calcium in the blood. When the blood calcium level reaches appropriate level through all these means, the parathyroid glands stop producing PTH through negative feedback.

1. Aldosterone is involved in the regulation of sodium and potassium in the body. Explain how too much aldosterone could contribute to high blood pressure.
• Aldosterone’s primary target organ is the kidney, where it promotes renal absorption of sodium and renal excretion of potassium. The blood sodium level is particularly important to the maintenance of blood pressure. Too much sodium causes retention of fluid and increases blood pressure. Therefore, too much aldosterone will cause increased and po- tentially high blood pressure.
