You are observing two cells under the microscope. They are the same type of eukaryotic cell but
one appears much larger. Based on appearance alone, which one would you expect to be
carrying out respiration at a more active rate, the larger or smaller cell? Explain why.
I believe it is the smaller cell that will breathe at a more active rate because in order for
respiration to occur efficiently and more actively the surface area to volume ratio is very critical;
also, if the larger surface area is present then the diffusion of gasses occur at a higher rate; so,
larger cells will have a smaller surface to volume ratio and diffusion that will occur at a slower
rate creating a less active respiration; and, on the other hand smaller cells will have a larger
,surface area to volume ratio and an improved diffusion rate, so the higher rate and more active
respiration.
The smaller cell. Cells need to remain relatively small because as a cell expands the amount of
surface area relative to the volume of the cell decreases. The smaller cell is more active
because relative to its volume, its surface area is larger than a bigger cell. With a larger surface
area (relative to its volume) this allows the metabolic processes to occur faster.

Explain what happens to the epiglottis during swallowing. Why?
During swallowing the epiglottis moves inferiorly to close off and prevent aspiration by covering
the trachea and creating a passage for liquid, food, or bolus into the esophagus; and, preventing
these things from entering into the lungs.
Air and food pass in which one of the following areas:
Oropharynx
Label the following five items from the diagram:
Label B- ___________
Label D- __________
Label E- __________
Label F- __________
Label G- __________
B - Oral Cavity
D - Epiglottis
E - Glottis
F - Trachea
G - Esophagus
From widest to narrowest, the branches of the bronchial tree are:
Primary bronchi, secondary bronchi, tertiary bronchi, bronchioles
,Explain why someone who has hypergastrinemia (excessive secretion of gastrin) might develop
gastric/stomach ulcers.
Hypergastrinemia leads to excess secretion of the gastrin hormone, which induces excess
secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach; and, the excess acid then acts as a protective
mucousa layer causing disruption that can lead to those ulcers.
Gastrin stimulates the secretions of pepsinogens and hydrochloric acid. Excess amounts would
lead to erosion of the stomach lining.
Look carefully at the diagram below. Label the following 5 organs of the digestive system.
To receive credit for the intestines you must label the specific region.
3: ___________
4: ___________
7: ___________
9: ___________
10: ___________
3. Stomach
4. Gallbladder
7. Jejunum
9. Appendix
10. Rectum

Answer the following essay question:
Describe parietal cells and chief cells: name their location, secretions and purposes.
Parietal and chief cells are located in the stomach wall and they secrete gastric juices and
mucous, secrete hormones that regulate digestive activity; also, parietal cells produce HCl in the
stomach; and, chief cells secrete te enzymes pepsinogen, rennin, and gastric lipase.
The parietal cells (located in the wall of the stomach body) secrete hydrochloric acid, generating
a pH of 1.3-3.5. This very acidic pH kills many of the bacteria ingested along with food. In
addition, the low pH stops the activity of salivary amylase. The secretion of hydrochloric acid is
essential in the activation of pepsin.
, Chief cells: secrete pepsinogen. Pepsinogen (a pre-enzyme) is secreted by the chief cells in the
stomach. Hydrochloric acid converts the inactive pepsinogen (secreted by the chief cells) into
the active enzyme pepsin which begins the breakdown of proteins.
