This assignment will not be placed on your GPA.  This assignment is a self assessment quiz for us to help you.  These questions could very likely be open game on the National Registry.  These questions are covering very realistic topics that a paramedic student must have some knowledge about.

Another point to add to this assignment.  We want detail. For example do not just put diffusion is from a high to low.  Go deeper than just putting that for the answer.

9- A&P - Define the following:

A) Caudal

B) Cephalic

C) Cytoplasm

D) Sagittal 

10-A&P - Use the picture below of the cell.  List the structure and define its main purpose

A - ribosomes

B - smooth endoplasmic reticulum

C - Rough endoplasmic reticulum

D - Lysosome

E - Mitochondrion

F - Plasma Membrane

G - Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

 

11-A&P - List the four types of tissues in the body and give one example where in the body it is found.

12-A&P - List the 6 main types of joint movements.

13-A&P - Muscle contractions are labeled/termed as isometric and what is the other one?

14-A&P - What is the difference between "afferent" and "efferent" diversion (or travel pattern/direction) of the nerves.

15-A&P - What are at least two purposes/functions of the liver?

16-Pathophysiology - Intracellular fluid (ICF) is found inside all body cells and accounts for % of total body weight. Extracellular fluid (ECF) is the fluid found outside the cells and is further divided into and compartments.  ECF accounts for % of total body weight.  Interstitual fluid accounts for about 15% to 16% of total body weight.

Pathophysiology - Define the following: numbers 17 thru 25

17 Solutes

18 Solvent

19 Osmosis

20 Hypertonic

21 Hypotonic

22 Diffusion

23 Active transport

24 Facilitated diffusion

25 Hypokalemia

Are the following electrolytes positive or negative?

26 - Potassium

27 - Calcium

28 - Magnesium

29 - Sodium

30 - What does the following formula mean/result in?

¯CO2 + H2O ® ¯H2CO3- ® ¯ H+ + HCO3-

31 - What does the following formula mean/result in?

¯H+ + HCO3- ® ¯H2CO3- ® H2O  + ¯CO2

32. - What does the following formula mean/result in?

(increase)CO2 + H2O ® (increase)H2CO3- ® (increase)H+ + HCO3-

33 - What does the following formula mean/result in?

(increase) H+ + HCO3- ® (increase)H2CO3- ® H2O  + (increase)CO2
