| in first activity in lab 1, which rat had the fastest basline metabolic rate? | normal rat |
| In 2nd activity in lab1, what effect did administering thyroxine have on each of the rats? | increased metabolic rate on normal rat |
| in 2nd activity in lab 1, explain why throxine increased metabolic rate. | because thyroxine controls the rate of metabolism and cellular oxidation |
| in 3rd activity in lab 1, was ther a change in the metabolic rate of the thyroidectomized rat with the administration of TSH?explain | yes, the metabolic rate increased; because TSH influences growth and acitivity of the thyroid gland |
| in 3rd activity in lab 1, describe the effect of administering propylthiouracil on each of the rats, and explain. | the metabolic rate decreased; because the injection inhabits production of thryroxine |
| trace a molecule of oxygen from the external nares to the pulmonary capillaries of the lungs: external nares-> | nasal cavity->inferior, superior, middle nasal conchae |

| contains the vocal cords | larynx |
| nerve that activates the diapthragm during inspiration | phrenic nerve |
| pleural layer lining the walls of the thorax | parietal pleura |
| site from which oxygen enters the pulmonary blood | alveolus |
| connects the middle ear to the nasopharynx | opening of pharyngotympanic tube |
| opening between the vocal folds | glottis |
| increases air turbulence in the nasal cavity | concha |
| separates the oral cavity from the nasal cavity | palate |
| define endocrine****** | most common (classical)mode, hormones deleivered to target cells by blood |
| paracrine | hormone released diffuses to its target cells through immediate extracellular space; blood is not directly involved int he delivery |
| neuroendocrine | hormone is produced and released by a neuron, delivered to target cells by blood |
| autocrine | hormone released feeds-back on the cell of origin, again without entering blood circulation |
| What are the 6 main hormones secreted by the anterior pituitary(adenohypophysis) | growth hormone,thyroid-stimulating hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, prolactin, follicle-stimulating hormone,luteinizing hormone |
| What are the effects of the growth hormone? | body size, growth of muscle |
| What are the effects of the thyroid-stimulating hormone? | growth and thyroid activity |
| What are the effects of the adrenocorticotropic hormone? | regulates endocrine activity of the adrenal gland |
| What are the effects of the prolactin? | breast development and lactation after childbirth |
| What are the effects of the follicle-stimulating hormone? | gamete production and hormonal activity of the gonads |
| What are the effects of the luteinizing hormone? | gamete production and hormonal acitivty of the gonads |
| What are the two hormones secreted by the posterior pituitary(neurohypophysis)? | antidiuretic hormone(ADH);oxytocin |
| What are the hormones and their effects of the thyroid gland? | thyroid hormone(T4,T3); body metabolism and cellular oxidation |
| What is the hormone and effect of the parathyroid gland? | parathyroid hormone;calcium balance |
| What are the hormones and effects of the adrenal glands? | epinephrine,norepinephrine(flight or flight);aldosterone(water and electrolyte balance);glucocorticoids(increase blood glucose levels);gonadocrticoids(male and female sex hormones) |
