R: Name three layers of the skin in order from superficial and deep and mention their tissue type.

Q: Which layer contains blood vessels.?

Epidermis:  stratified squamous

Dermis: dense irregular CT

Hypodermis: adipose

**Dermis contains blood vessels.

R:  List the path of urine from the glomerulus to where it is eliminated from the body. 

Q: Where does filtration occur? 

glomerulus, bowman's capsule, PCT, Loop of Henle, DCT, collecting duct, calyx, pelvis, ureter, bladder, out

Ans:  bowman's capsule

Draw a anatomical diagram showing each level of organization, starting with the myofilaments and ending with the entire muscle.

Go over on board.

Classify the following as depressions, holes or projections and then come up with another example of each.  

Greater tubercle

Foramen magnum

Glenoid fossa

projection - tubercle + student answer

hole - foramen magnum + student answer 

depression - glenoid fossa + student answer

R: Name the five layers of the epidermis, in order from superficial to deep. 

Q: Which layer is present only in thick skin?

Stratum corneum

Stratum lucidum

Stratum Granulosum

Stratum Spinosum

Stratum Basale

*Stratum lucidum is present only in thick skin.

R:  Describe the steps of urine formation.  Mention which substances are exchanged between the blood and urine at each step. 


Q:  Sugar is found in the urine.  Which step is there a problem with? 

Filtration (nonselective small stuff), Reabsorption (water, glucose, aa, ions put back into the blood), Secretion (large wastes pumped into blood)

Answer:  Reabsorption

Name the three types of levers and list what is in the center of the lever arm in each type.  Then, model each type of lever with a body movement. 

first - fulcrum in center

second - load in center

third - effort in center

200

Describe all the bones and key bone markings included in the shoulder joint.

Humeral head into glenoid fossa

Clavicle

Acromion process

Coracoid process

R: Draw a diagram of the human body and label the area percentages according to the rule of 9s.

Q: What would be the percent area burned in a victim with the front side only of both arms, the front torso and one entire leg (front and back) impacted.  

Head: 9%

Arms: 18% (9% each)

Front torso: 9%

Front abdomen: 9%

Backside: 18%

Legs:  36% (18% each)

Genitals: 1%

A patient has high BP.  List one way the kidney would compensate. 

Excrete more water --> reduce BV --> reduce BP

300

Compare and contrast charge distribution across a muscle cell membrane when the cell is at rest vs when it is activated.  Explain how the action potential is triggered. 

RMP:  More Na+ on outside than K+ inside (salty banana);  relative interior charge = negative

AP:  Charge difference across membrane reverses; relative interior charge = positive from sodium influx

AP is triggered by acetylcholine opening ion channels on the sarcolemma.

Draw the common structures among all vertebrae.  Include the following structures in your diagram: 

Vertebral foramen, body

Spinous processes, transverse processes

Lamina, pedicles

R: Name the three types of burns and which layers of the skin they impact. 

Q: What is the most life threatening aspect a burn wound? 

First:  epidermis only

Second: blistering;  epidermis and dermis

Third: all three layers; damages nerves as well

Answer:  Dehydration

400

A patient has low BP.  Name 2 ways the kidney brings pressure back up.

Renin --> vasoconstriction 

Aldosterone (from adrenal gland) --> reabsorb more salt, water follows, increase in BV, increase in BP

400

Describe how the binding sites are unlocked in the muscle cell to initiate contraction.

AP stimulates release of Ca2+ from SR

Ca2+ binds to troponin and changes its configuration

Tropomyosin slides out of the way to reveal the binding sites

Crossbridge formation and cycling initiates

400

Name all the bone markings on the femur and the bone marking on the pelvis it articulates with on the proximal end. 

Proximal: Fovea capitis, Head, Neck, Greater trochanter, lesser trochanter. 

Posterior: Linea Aspera

Distale: Medial and lateral epicondyles, medial and lateral condyles

Answer: Articulates with acetabelum on the pelvis

500

R:  What is heatstroke?  List all the symptoms the patient experienced in the case study. 

Q:  Describe the mechanism behind disorientation due to heat stroke. 

Heat stroke = body's inability to cool itself off due to an incapacity to sweat (from excess water loss); 

Disorientation, high HR, low BP, hyperthermia, sunburn

Ans:  High temp --> water loss in sweat --> low BV --> low BP --> not enough circulation to push blood up to brain.

500

A patient has acidic blood.  Name two ways the kidneys would balance pH.

Excrete more H+ ions

Conserve more bicarbonate ions

500

Explain the mechanism of the following symptoms in malignant hyperthermia: 

a. High HR

b. High RR

c. Hyperthermia (name a reaction that causes this)

d. Rigid muscles 

e. Acidic blood 

a. High HR - low O2 from consumption in CR due to ATP depletion 

b. High RR - increased CO2 from increase CR to replenish 

c. ATP hydrolysis to fuel uninhibited cross bridge cycling

d. Uninhibited crossbridge cycling 

d.  CO2 and lactic acid buildup

500

Name all the articulations between the humerus, ulna and radius.

Ulna and humerus: 

Olecranon process (ulna) and fossa (humerus)

Coronoid process (ulna) and fossa (humerus)

Trochlear notch (ulna) and trochlea (humerus)

Ulna and radius: 

Radial head (radius) and radial notch (ulna)
