HLSC2410 COMPREHENSIVE FINAL EXAM REVIEW QUESTIONS
AND VERIFIED CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED A++
Extracellular Fluid Compartment
Fluid outside cells, high sodium concentration.
Cortisol
Hormone stimulated by ACTH, affects metabolism.
Secondary Immune Response
Faster response due to memory cells.
Steroid Hormones
Fat-soluble hormones, hydrophobic and lipophilic.
Testosterone Production
Stimulated by FSH and LH from anterior pituitary.
Oxygen Transport
Majority bound to hemoglobin in blood.
Colon Function
Mainly absorbs water from digested material.
Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)
Increases plasma calcium levels in the body.
Segmentation
Mixing of chyme in the small intestine.
Phospholipid Bilayer
Selective barrier allowing some substances to pass.
, Cholesterol Solubility
Least soluble in water, crosses membranes freely.
Resting Membrane Potential
Neuron most permeable to potassium ions.
Repolarization Phase
Efflux of potassium through voltage-gated channels.
Ionotropic Receptor
Channel opens upon neurotransmitter binding.
Afferent Pathway
Sensory signals from organ to central nervous system.
ACTH
Hormone stimulating cortisol secretion.
Memory Cells
Cells that enhance secondary immune response.
Hydrophobic
Repellent to water, characteristic of steroid hormones.
Hemoglobin
Protein that binds oxygen in red blood cells.
Calcium Absorption
Increased by parathyroid hormone activity.
Chyme
Partially digested food in the small intestine.
Neurotransmitter
