What does our body use to transport something across a cell membrane? - correct
answer carrier proteins
what stops water soluble molecules from crossing into a cell? - correct answer lipid
bilayer
not water permeable
what is the absolute refractory period in the cardiac cycle? - correct answer nothing
can happen during that period no matter what stimulus is presented
what do we need to move fluid from the arterial end of a capillary into the interstitial
fluid? - correct answer hydrostatic pressure
what type of cellular adaptation replaces one type of cell with another type of cell? -
correct answer metaplasia
hyperplasia - correct answer increase in the number of cells
eg. breast tissue
hemosiderosis - correct answer abnormal increase of iron in blood
a concern after multiple blood transfusions
Na+ 164 , what will you see - correct answer confusion, convulsion, cerebral
hemorrhage, coma

Why could one twin baby get asthma and the other not? - correct answer Epigenetics
Epigenetics - correct answer the study of environmental influences on gene
expression that occur without a DNA change
cells that attack a parasitic invasion? - correct answer eosinophils
why do neonates not have a good inflammatory response? - correct answer
compliment system - neonate has not developed this yet
compliment system - correct answer Group of about 30 proteins in blood plasma that
complement defense reactions and help attract phagocytes to foreign cells; can help
promote lysis of the foreign cell
