| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What hormone increases water reabsorption? | Antidiuretic homosexuality (ADH) |
| How do kidneys regulate acid base balance? | By secreting hydrogen ions and reabsorption bicarbonate |
| How does bile aid fat digestion? | It emulsifies fats to increase surface area for lipase activity |
| What role does the pancreas play in digestion? | Release enzymes that break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates |
| How does the small intestine maximize absorption? | Through villi, microvilli, and extensive capillary networks |
| What stimulates increase breathing during exercise? | Rising CO2 levels and hydrogen ions concentration stimulate central chemoreceptors |
| What happen to gas exchange when alveoli lose surface area? | Diffusion efficiency decreases, reducing blood oxygenation |
| How is most carbon dioxide transported? | As bicarbonate ions formed in red blood cells |
| What drives inhalation? | Diaphragm contraction lowers thoracic pressure, drawing air in |
| How does insulin lower blood glucose? | It increases cellular uptake and promotes glycogen formation |
| How does negative feedback maintain hormone balance? | Rising hormone levels inhibit further hormone release |
| How does lymph flow move without a pump? | Skeletal muscle contraction, breathing movements and one way waves |
| What is the primary function of neutrophils? | Rapid phagocytosis of bacteria |
| Why is erythopoietin secretion increased during hypoxia? | low oxygen stimulates kidney to produce EPO to raise RBC production |
| How does the SA nodes initiate the heartbeat? | Through spontaneous depolarization caused by slow inward sodium leakage |
