Smoking cigarettes has been shown to be associated with the development of lung cancer. However, a direct correlation between how many cigarettes one smokes and the onset of lung cancer does not exist. A heavy smoker may not develop lung cancer, whereas a light smoker may develop the disease. Explain why this may be.

1. Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory disease affecting joint tissues. This disease is known to have an autoimmune compo- nent. Autoimmunity is an immune response inappropriately directed toward normal self-antigens. Many persons with rheu- matoid arthritis have rheumatoid factor (RF) present in their blood. RF is an abnormal antibody. Not all persons with the disease have RF in their plasma, and RF is known to be present in conditions other than rheumatoid arthritis. Based on this information and your previous study, outline a simple test to detect the presence of RF in plasma. If your test is used to screen for rheumatoid arthritis, does a positive result (i.e., RF is pres- ent) mean that the person definitely has the disease? Why or why not?

Pam lives in Los Angeles, not far from the beach. She traveled byplane with her fiance, Alex, to Jackson Hole, which is approximately6000 feet above sea level. They took hikes of increasing length foreach of 4 days and rested on the fifth day. On the sixth day, she andAlex hiked to the top of Table Mountain, which is approximately11,000 feet above sea level. Which of the following was (were) apparent in Pam on the day they climbed Table Mountain? Explain.(1) Pam’s rate of erythropoietin secretion was increasing.(2) Pam’s erythrocyte count was increasing.(3) Pam’s reticulocyte count was increasing.(4) Pam’s platelet count was increasing.a. 1,2,3,4 c. 1,2 e. 1b. 1,2,3 d. 2,3

The cardiovascular system includes the heart, blood vessels and lymphatic organs. When hypothalamic osmoreceptors are D) activated, more ADH is released from the anterior pituitary. The transport of hormones is one of the E regulatory functions of the blood. The secretion of hormones is one of the regulatory functions of the blood. Hemoglobin is the main protein found in the blood plasma. Thrombocytes are form from the fragmentation H of large cells called megakaryocytes. The blood leaving the heart enters an artery, the blood returns to the heart from a vein. Leucocytes cross the capillary wall by a process call dialysis.
