Review Questions # 5 2. Distinguish between autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive disorders and provide a couple examples of each. When dealing with genetic disorders its important to understand how they are inherited. There are two ways a child can inherited a genetic disorder from their parents. Autosomal dominant disorder is where one parent has a genetic disorder in which it has already manifested such as familial hypercholesterolaemia, marfan’s syndrome, and…

Glomerular filtration is the physical method the kidney uses to sort what should be excreted from what should be kept in the bloodstream. In the first part of the process, a membrane called the filtrate membrane filters out red blood cells, large proteins, and other large plasma solutes. For example, albumin is filtered out at this point, with only a tiny amount remaining in the subsequent glomerular filtrate. Because the afferent arteriole to the glomerulus is much larger than its efferent…

faster; this capacity is increasable with regular exercise. Nevertheless there are individuals who live with just one lung. The function of the pulmonary circulation is to aid in gas exchange. The pulmonary artery provides deoxygenated blood to the capillaries, and the pulmonary veins return freshly oxygenated blood to the heart for further transport through the body. Their innervation is by the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems, giving respectively the bronchodilation and…

said to help increase circulation. What does increase circulation have to do with health? Circulation effects everything within the body. As you recall in high school, the circulatory system is the system that has a network of veins, arteries, and capillaries that carry blood and non-oxygenated blood to and from every organ and orifice in the body. When circulation is limited in an area, that means that particular organ or tissue does not get enough oxygenated blood and can not get rid of its…

Have you ever wondered what happens after death? More specifically what happens to the Human body after death? Death is defined as an “irreversible cessation of circulatory and respiratory functions, or irreversible cessation of all functions of the entire brain, including the brain stem. Is dead.” I will be talking about the irreversible cessation of circulatory and respiratory functions. This because if one loses functions of the entire brain their body can still live due to today’s technology…

increased actin and myosin concentrations, the muscle can display superior strength. Lactic acid anaerobic training arouses the muscles to become better able to endure lactic acid and clear it away more competently. With endurance training the capillary network extends permitting greater volumes of blood to source the muscles with oxygen and nutrients. The muscles are able to use supplementary fat as a fuel source and become more effectual at using…

Cheyenne Wilson 5.05 LAB REPORT CANDY CHROMATOGRAPHY BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Paper chromatography is a widely used method of separation. The lab will show the basic techniques of paper chromatography. In this lab, the separation of the dyes used in two different kinds of candy is performed. The candy dyes may also be compared to solutions of FD&C food dyes. Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to…

This is the main healing stage of the response. This is where new tissue and a new network of capillaries are formed around the affected area. This allows better circulation and drainage at the affected area. After this fibroblasts begin to be made in the connective tissues and they are responsible for the repair of the affected…

According to the article “Managing Sickle Cell Disease”, sickle cell disease is an inherited disorder affecting the red blood cells. The disease causes the red blood cells to become rigid and half-moon shaped, resulting in obstruction of capillary blood flow. Decreased oxygen to the tissues results in pain. The disease is inherited and has the greatest prevalence among Black Americans and Hispanics in the United States. Inheritance is autosomal recessive and results in production of sickle…

We found that cyclist Lance Armstrong was guilty of using EPO on several accounts. Erythropoietin, also know as EPO, is a drug used medically to treat anemia. This advancement in medicine has helped save lives but unfortunately professional athletes, like Armstrong, have used it to help improve their performance. The earliest claims of doping was with Gastone Nencini in the 1960 Tour De France. Around this time athletes would store blood and wait for the body to replace the loss blood.…
