strong. 6. Is the respiratory system functioning better or worse than it did in the previous activity? Explain why. Worst‚ because the breathing is more shallow and incomplete. The lungs are not able to inhale or exhale as much as in Activity 2. 7. What is the effect of reducing the radius of the air flow tube on respiratory volumes? The air flow was decreasing‚ which decreased the respiratory volume. 8. What does the air flow tube simulate in the human body? The trachea 9. What could be

Introduction and Objective The action potential is an impulse of electrical activity. Action potential occurs when a neuron sends messages electrochemically down an axon called a nerve impulse. When a neuron is not stimulated or inactive‚ it is at resting potential. When a neuron is at rest‚ the electrical charge on the inside of the neuron is negative while the electrical charge on the outside of the neuron is positive. The resting membrane potential of a neuron is about -70 mV (mV = millivolts)

Review Sheet Exercise 12 Serological Testing NAME Kali Rothfuss LAB DATE/TIME 6/22/11 Positive and Negative Controls 1. Why are there a number of washing steps in serological tests? The are a number of steps needed in order to remove any non specific binding that may have occurred. 2. Describe how you would know that you had a “false positive” result. What does this mean for the rest of your results? A positive result with a negative control indicates a “false positive”

1.) When you forcefully exhale your entire expiratory reserve volume‚ any air remaining in your lungs is called the residual volume (RV). Why is it impossible to further exhale the RV (that is‚ where is this air volume trapped‚ and why is it trapped?) This "dead space" of air needs to stay in your lungs constantly; otherwise the lung will completely deflate. If the lung has every bit of air sucked out of it‚ it will collapse and need to be re-inflated. 2.) How do you measure a person’s
