Fluid is forced out of systemic capillaries at the arteriolar end because:

  1. Blood pressure is less than of the interstitial fluid

  2. The osmotic pressure of the interstitial fluid is greater than of the blood 

  3. The osmotic pressure of the interstitial fluid is greater than the blood pressure. 

  4. Osmotic pressure of the blood is greater than the hydrostatic pressure of the interstitial fluid. 

  5. The blood pressure is greater than the osmotic pressure of the blood.

If the atrioventricular node (AV node) were surgically removed from the heart without disrupting signal transmission to the Purkinje fibers,

no apparent effect on heart activity would be observed
only the venticles would contract
the heart rate would decrease
only the atria would contract
atria and ventricles would contract at about the same time

The necropsy (postmortem analysis) of a freshwater fish that died after being placed accidentally in saltwater would likely show that: 

  1. Loss of water by osmosis from cells in vital organs resulted in cell death and organ failure. 

  2. High amounts of salt had diffused into the fish’s cells, causing them to swell and lyse. 

  3. The kidneys were not able to keep up with the water removal necessary in this hyperosmotic environment, creating an irrevocable loss of homeostasis

  4. The gills became encrusted with salt, resulting in inadequate gas exchange and a resulting asphyxiation. 

Loss of water by osmosis from cells in vital organs resulted in cell death and organ failure.

What causes the pulling of the xylem sap?

What is the pathway of blood travels starting at the Right Atrium.  

(Triple bonus point)

Blood flows from the Right Atrium into Right ventricle.
Blood travels to Pulmonary Arteries to the lungs.
Blood travels back to the heart using the Pulmonary Vein that enters into the Left Atrium.
Blood enters the Left Ventricle from the Left Atrium.
Blood enters the Aorta Arch and into the Vena Cava.
From the Vena Cava, it enters back into the Right Atrium using the Veins.

How does ADH function at the cellular level?

ADH stimulates the reabsorption of glucose through channel proteins.
It triggers the synthesis of an enzyme that makes the phospholipid bilayer more permeable to water.
It causes membranes to include more phospholipids that have unsaturated fatty acids.
It causes an increase in the number of aquaporin molecules of collecting duct cells.
It decreases the speed at which filtrate flow through the nephron leading to increased reabsorption of water.

It causes an increase in the number of aquaporin molecules of collecting duct cells.

Why are polio vaccinations effective?

They cause the inflammation response resulting in the production of antibodies that engulf the polio virus if it enters the body.
They cause an immune response resulting in the production of cytotoxic (killer) T cells that remain in the blood attacking all viruses that enter the body.
They cause an immune response resulting in the production of memory B cells that provide a rapid response if the individual is subsequently infected by the polio virus.
They cause the inflammation response resulting in the production of memory T cells that provide a limited response if infected by the polio virus.
none of the above

They cause an immune response resulting in the production of memory B cells that provide a rapid response if the individual is subsequently infected by the polio virus.
