So we recently had a substitute teacher for my college course and it was horrible!!! He taught us stuff we really didn't need to know and I was so confused and currently teaching myself the whole lesson I am stumped on a few questions to my homework, if anyone knows the answer, please tell me mine are wrong and correct me because I don't want to get the wrong information to study for the test! I have like 7 pages of homework! I did look up online and my book doesn't teach us crap. 1) From filtrate formed about 148(females)/180 (Males) liters/day of fluid are reabsorbed. This is about _____% of the glomerular filtrate. The total amount of urine eliminated from the kidneys daily is usually about _____liters/quarts. ----is it 82% and 2 Liters? I don't get what they are saying. 2)If you sat down and ate a complete 5 pound box of candy you would likely result in a urinary condition called ______? -----Diabetes mellitus? 3) ______results from left side heart failure? -----Failure of left ventricle? 4)Blood in most capillaries of the body flow into vessels called _______, but blood in glomerular capillaries flows into ________? ----Arteries and bowman's capsule? 5) Blood pressure in glomerular capillaries is about 55mm Hg. Which is ____that in other capillaries in the body is about ______mm Hg -----Less and 120/80 6) The total amount of urine eliminated from the kidneys daily is usually about ______liters/quarts. (This amount is highly variable) ----2 liters/quarts? 7) When blood pressure drops ________cells of the kidney release ____which ultimately catalyzes the formation of ______. This substance _______blood pressure by vasoconstriction and indirectly stimulates the release of ______from the adrenal cortex. -----Juxtaglomerular, Renin, afferent arterioles, increase, aldosterone 8) Acidosis/alkalosis imbalance problems are most effectively regulated by the ______, but take longer to eliminate the imbalance. Quick responses occur in the _____, by removing carbon dioxide, and in the _____by removing H+ -----The first one I got bicarbonates but the rest I can't think of the names 9) Reabsorption of ______is the key in the regulation of fluid and electrolyte homeostasis. -----ANP 10) Sodium (The Na+ in salt) is very hard to get rid of because ADH is produced almost continuously to reabsorb sodium in the kidney tubules. To GET RID of sodium, the body must produce ____, which decreases the reabsorption of sodium and thus allows more of it (and water) to end up in urine. ----I thought of vasopressin....but that is what ADH is.... 11) Diabetes ____refers to "Sugar diabetes" caused by a "malfunction" in the pancreas, while diabetes _______refers to "water diabetes" caused by a "malfunction" in the posterior pituitary gland. ----Mellitus, pancreas, insipidus, posterior pituitary gland 12) WHen you are thirsty the viscosity of the blood becomes thicker and this is detected by the thirst center in the _____. To return the viscosity of your blood back to homeostasis takes probably 12-30 mins for water to be absorbed and actually affect the blood's viscosity. But we do not drink for 12-30 minutes until this happens. Our thirst is satisfied by: 1) Relieving the dryness in our ____and ____ 2) Stretching out the ______ -----Mouth, skin.....and I am not sure what its stressing....a layer of some sort?

Ill keep this short and sweet..... So yesterday I needed help with this combative resident that is also a hoyer. As I was about to walk into their room with the hoyer, I called out to a coworker that I work with since she was standing by the nurses station and asked nicely if she could help me with the resident. She looked at me like "ughh" and said I was going to sit down and chart. Keep in mind....it was only 7:00pm and we work until 10:00pm. There is no way she was ready to chart yet. So I gave her a depressed look and then she said that she will help me if no one else does. This CNA is full time and is so lazy. I would consider as a friend at work, but she just doesn't do more than she has to. How would you handle this situation? My other friend who works at the same facility came to help me even though she was in the middle of getting someone else ready for bed. She wasn't very happy with her either.

Are they timed exams?

I just wanted some second opinions on my assignment I am working on to make sure I am right. This class is very important to me and want to make sure I am understanding it! 1) What opens the AV valves? My answer: Atrial pressure--> Ventricular pressure? 2) What opens the semilunar valves? My answer: Ventricular pressure--> Pressure in arteries 3) What closes the AV valves? My answer: Blood moving back towards the atria when ventricles contract. 4) What closes the semilunar valves? My answer: The heart as a whole during atrial contraction 5)The conduction system of the heart slows down the most as it passes through the ___node to allow time for the _____to fill before they contract? My answer: Av node/ Purkinje fibers or ventricles??? 6) What does a high systolic pressure indicate? My answer: systolic hypertension (high blood pressure) 7) What does a high diastolic pressure indicate? My answer: Hypertension and risk of a stroke???? 8) What anatomical structure produces the systolic blood pressure? THe heart? Not sure! 9) What anatomical structure produces the diastolic blood pressure? Blood vessels? Not sure..... 10) List 2 different ways your blood pressure is regulated? My answer: Sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system 11) On its own, the SA node, located in the _______, normally fires about _____ times a minute. At rest the parasympathetic fires, traveling via ____ nerve, normally slows this rate down about ____bpm. My answers: Right atrium, 50-100 times, vagus, 60-70 bpm 12)Where are important baroreceptors located for the regulation of blood pressure? Is it aorta and carotid sinus or is it aortic arch and aortic sinus? I have the first one down. 13) "Heart attack" is a common word for myocardial infarction which refers to an area of tissue death due to obstruction of the circulation usually by a _____ (local forming clot) or an ____("Circulating clot") My answer: Thrombocyte and thrombus

I already took intro to psychology....now its time for developmental psychology. Would this class be hard to understand if I don't do a face-to-face session??? I am taking oral communications online next semester and kind of wanted to do a semester with just online and work more. What do ya'll think? Easy enough class to do so? I am currently taking sociology and WISH that I have don't it online since it is a waste coming to class!

Is it a steroid and nonsteroid hormone?

UPDATE: Would number 10 be chemotaxis? Not phagocytosis.... Would number 11 be something to do with the ADH hormone?

Hello! I am doing some homework for ADV Anatomy and Physiology and was wondering if I can get some second opinions to some of my "not sure" answers. I have a 7 pages assignment and I have only a few that I ain't really sure about and it's killing me not knowing. Any help is super appreciated. 1) Because insulin lowers blood sugar levels it is said to be _______while glucagon would be ______because it raises blood glucose levels. ----Would this be like hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia?--- 2) Inflammation is reduced by the effect of the hormone ________? -----Cortisol and Histamine both came to mind------ 3) Cortisol limits the inflammatory process by ____white blood cells. Thus this hormone is _____and it inhibits the immune responses? -----Increasing white blood cells? And not sure of the second one----- 4) Mrs smith is O+ and Mr. Smith is O-. Her developing fetus is O+. Is there any need for concern with combination? ----No, because the fetus and mother is both +??? I know that if one is positive and the other is negative it can both result in bad things, or am I thinking RH? 5) What if Mrs. Smith was O-? -----The baby could result in a stillborn---- 6) The biconcave disk shape of the RBCs provide greater ______for better diffusion of gases and ____for squeezing through small capillaries. ------Surface area and nutrients?----- 7) Under normal circumstance plasma of (Which Rh blood type) contains Rh antibodies? -----RH+------?? 8) ______binds to fetal Rh antigens within the mother so the mother's immune system doesn't detect the antigens and thus no antibodies are made that would attack the fetal bond. -----RHOgam?----- 9) Blood typing is checking for the presence of _____in the blood? ----Antigens?---- 10) ______is the attraction of phagocytes to chemicals produced by invading microbes or inflamed tissue. This is primary attraction of phagocytes to the injured tissues. -----Histamine or inflammation?----- 11) Glucose in the urine takes _______with it and dilutes the body fluids which the hypothalamus detects as concentrated blood and creates the sensation of thirst? ------Sugar or sodium? I really don't know haha....----

I have one question that I am currently stuck on..... The spread of the action potential in nerves is commonly called the________? I said nerve impulse but that doesn't sound right. Any other ideas? Or is it depolarization, resting membrane, or stimulus?

Thank you for your help hun(:

What about this one? The cerebellum coordinates balance, posture, and smooth body movements. To perform this function it receives information from..... I put..... 1)Cerebral cortex 2)Sensory neurons 3)Spinal cord 4) Brain stem (I need 4)

Heres the first couple.... Sensory cells in the _____are stimulated when movement of the head causes endolymph to move. ----I was thinking semicircular duct or vestibule for this one, but as I am reading about it, it's telling me about hair. This lesson is on senses. ______is the term used to describe the type of receptors that generate action potentials resulting in the perception of gustation and/or olfaction. ----I put olfactory receptors...but we have learned about lots of other receptors like chemoreceptors, nociceptors, photoreceptors....and so on. Where must sensory information go to have perception? ---Well since perception is the ability to see, hear, or become aware of something through senses, I was thinking about somewhere in the brain stem or one of the brain lobes....but the question below threw me off. What happens if sensory information ends in the brain stem or thalamus? -----Honestly, not sure if this is a bad idea that it ends up there, but I know that the thalamus is a center for pain perception List 2 sensory madalities that have little or no adaptation? ---well I know that smell and hearing we can adapt to after smelling or hearing something for a good amount of time....so would like thought be one we can't adapt to? Not sure about this one.

I apologize...I am still new to this site. Would you be able to assist me on answering these questions if I tell you what I think first?
