To learn the name of all 12 pairs of cranial nerves and indicated the body region and structures innervated
by each.
PART A—CRANIAL NERVES OF THE SHEEP BRAIN
Obtain a sheep brain and flip your brain over to the ventral side.
On this side you will have to be extremely CAREFUL not to pull off the cranial nerves that are still
attached to the dura mater.
Gently lift the meninges 1 mm off the ventral side of the brain and look under the meninges for cranial
nerves that are being pulled up.
CUT the cranial nerves as close to the meninges as you can, i.e. leaving as much of the nerve attached
to the brain as possible (REMEMBER they are in pairs, one on each side).
Travel around the room to observe other sheep brains that may still have the nerves not found on your
specimen.
Review the function of each nerve.

OBJECTIVE
To understand the important role of the endocrine system in regulating the activity of body cells.
To explain the function of the various hormones and the results of their hyposecretion or hypersecretion.
PART A—OVERVIEW OF THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
The endocrine system works with the nervous system in controlling much of what goes on in the body.
REVIEW these basic facts regarding the endocrine system:
It is composed of glands.
Glands produce hormones.
Hormones are chemical messengers that are released directly into the blood (no ducts).
Hormones work at specific locations (targets).
Hormones work by attaching to receptors at the target.
Receptors may be on the target cell membrane or inside the target cell (intracellular).
The pituitary is often called the master gland of the body since it oversees much of the action of other
glands.
The pituitary gland is controlled by the hypothalamus.
The pituitary gland is functionally and structurally related to the hypothalamus.
Structural relationships include direct axonal connections between the hypothalamus and the
posterior pituitary and a specialized “portal” system (a capillary network).
Functional relationships include release of releasing and inhibiting hormones by the hypothalamus
which affect the anterior pituitary and the production of oxytocin and ADH by the hypothalamus which
are stored and released as needed by the posterior pituitary.
PART B—GROSS ANATOMY OF THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
Using your book, models, and CAT, name and locate all of the endocrine glands.

OBJECTIVE
To learn about blood pressure, its influences and regulators.
To review and understand the cardiac conduction system, the cardiac cycle and heart sounds associated
with it.
To identify normal and abnormal wave configurations on an ECG.
PART A—RADIAL PULSE
As blood is forced out of the heart from ventricular contraction, it causes a surging movement of blood through
the arteries as the ventricles contract (systole) and then relax (diastole). These waves in blood flow are called
pulses. Pulses are normally felt or palpated at pressure points and are more easily palpated in areas where an
artery runs over a bony prominence.
Use the index and middle finger on one hand to palpate your pulse on the
opposite wrist. The radial pulse is palpable just lateral to the tendons on the
ventral side of the wrist. Once you obtain a pulse, count the number of
pulses that occur in 15 seconds and record your pulse below:
_________ pulses  4 = ___________ pulses/min.
Record the pulse of a lab partner using the same method as above. Record
the results for each of the circumstances listed below:
Pulse while lying down ____________ /min
Pulse while sitting _________ /min
Pulse while standing _________ /min
Pulse after hyperventilating for 30 seconds (breathing rapidly and deeply) ____________ /min.
Answer the following questions.
1. What happened to the pulse rate as your partner sat up? When they stood?
2. What specific receptors were most likely responsible for triggering the change in pulse rate as the body position
changed? Where in the body can you find these receptors?
ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2B—REBECCA LOOMIS
Page 109
3. What happened to the pulse rate after hyperventilation?
4. What receptors were most likely responsible for the change in pulse that occurred following hyperventilation?
To what do these receptors respond?
PART B—ARTERIAL BLOOD PRESSURE
Blood pressure is the force exerted on the interior walls of vessels by blood as it surges through them. Pressure
exerted during contraction of the ventricle (systole) is higher than the pressure exerted when the ventricles are
relaxed (diastole).
Measure the blood pressure of your LAB PARTNER using a
stethoscope and a sphygmomanometer. First, practice
listening for blood pulsing through the brachial artery by
placing the stethoscope on a lab partner's brachial artery,
which is located in the antecubital region. Once you are
able to hear the blood flow, you may begin taking the
blood pressure reading using the following procedure:
Place the cuff of the sphygmomanometer over your
lab partner’s upper arm. Slowly, pump air into it by
using the rubber bulb. When you can no longer hear the blood flow (approx. 150 mm Hg), stop the
inflation. You have compressed the brachial artery to the point that blood is no longer flowing through
it.
Gradually, release air from the cuff as you listen to the brachial artery through the stethoscope. When
you hear a sharp, clear sound as the blood flow resumes record the pressure at this time as the systolic
pressure.
Systolic pressure _____________ mm Hg
Continue releasing the cuff. The point at which you can no longer hear the blood pulsing through the
artery is the systolic pressure. Record the pressure at the first point the sound disappears.
Diastolic pressure ____________ mm Hg
Written in the conventional method, the blood pressure of your lab partner is ___________________.
Answer the following questions.
1. Is the blood pressure reading you just took a systemic or pulmonary reading?
2. How does pulmonary blood pressure compare to systemic (higher or lower)?

(SUBENDOCARDIAL CONDUCTING
NETWORK)
SEQUENCE OF EXCITATION
1. SINOATRIAL (SA) NODE = Pacemaker
Mass of autorythmic cells located in right atrium just inferior to the entrance of the superior vena cava.
Depolarizes spontaneously 70-80 times/min, consequently it sets the pace for the heart as a whole.
Depolarization spreading throughout atria causes them to contract.
2. ATRIOVENTRICULAR (AV) NODE
Located just above the tricuspid valve in the inferior interatrial septum.
Depolarization wave passes from SA node throughout the atria to the AV node.
Passes impulses to AV bundle.
3. ATRIOVENTRICULAR BUNDLE (Bundle of His)
Runs from AV node to interventricular septum where it branches into right and left bundle branches.
From AV node, the impulse sweeps to the AV bundle.
4. BUNDLE BRANCHES
Right and left bundle branches course along the interventricular septum toward apex of the heart.
5. PURKINJE FIBERS
Carry impulses from bundle branches to the heart apex, ventricle walls, and papillary muscles.
Supply the papillary muscles before supplying lateral walls of ventricles, thus ensuring closure of the AV
valves.

RV
Ventricular Filling
Atrial Contraction
Pressure in the heart is low, and blood returning from circulation is flowing passively through atria and into
ventricle.
Aortic and pulmonary semilunar valves are closed.
AV valves (tricuspid and bicuspid) are open.
Atria contract propelling blood into ventricles.
Duration is 0.1 sec.
VENTRICULAR SYSTOLE
Contraction Phase
Ejection Phase
Begins as the atria go into diastole (relaxing state).
AV and semilunar valves are closed until pressure forces semilunar valves open and blood is pushed from
ventricles into pulmonary trunk and the aorta.
Duration is 0.3 sec.
VENTRICULAR DIASTOLE
Occurs following ventricular contraction.
Ventricles relax.
AV valves reopen and filling begins.

OBJECTIVE
To measure and learn the various lung volumes and to understand how they can be used to determine
respiratory function.
PART A—MEASUREMENT OF INDIVIDUAL LUNG VOLUMES
Lung volumes vary with age, sex, size and respiratory health. Keep this in mind when measuring lung volumes.
VITAL CAPACITY
Obtain a dry spirometer and STERILIZE it as follows:
Open the top portion of the spirometer by turning it
CLOCKWISE.
Spray 95% Alcohol inside the LOWER portion of the apparatus
as well as the INSIDE of the mouthpiece nozzle.
DRY the bottom half of the spirometer with paper towels.
Use COTTON SWABS provided to dry the inside of the
mouthpiece.
Use the ALCOHOL PADS to wipe the surface of the UPPER portion
of the spirometer. DO NOT spray alcohol on this part since it
will damage the instrument.
Measure your vital capacity.
Obtain a mouthpiece from the bin and place it in the
mouthpiece nozzle.
Hold spirometer by one hand and confirm that indicator points at zero.
If indicator does not point at zero, adjust to zero by moving upper outer ring to right or
left.
When using, DO NOT COVER UP THE SMALL HOLES which are at the side of the upper body
with the hands.
Inhale and exhale forcibly several times to warm up.
Next, inhale deeply stretching body upward.
When lungs are full, set mouthpiece between lips. Breathe out strongly in one motion, without leaking.
It is a knack to breathe out as completely as possible, within 5-6 seconds. For fixed measurement, it is
necessary to keep the same way of breathing out.
After breathing out, read measurement on indicator.
Repeat this procedure two more times for a total of THREE trials.
ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2B—REBECCA LOOMIS
Page 133
When done, DISCARD MOUTHPIECES AND ALCOHOLS PADS IN THE TRASH BIN!
Calculate your average vital capacity by adding up all three readings and dividing by three. Enter your
average vital capacity into your table.
Vital Capacity 1
Vital Capacity 2
Vital Capacity 3
TOTAL
Avg. Vital Capacity
(Total/3)
Compare your vital capacity with the expected value for a person your age and size given in the vital
capacity table. Enter the expected value into Table 1.
Calculate your expected VC below. Show your calculations below and enter the % in Table 1.
Your value
% Expected VC = Expected value x 100
TIDAL VOLUME (TV)
Tidal volume (TV-air inhaled or exahaled during normal resting breathing) is too small of a volume to
measure with our spirometers. Therefore you must estimate your tidal volume.
Calculate your average TV by taking your average vital capacity and multiplying it by 0.1 (TV is usually
about 10% of your vital capacity). Enter the value into Table 1
Tidal Volume (VC x 0.1)
EXPIRATORY RESERVE VOLUME (ERV)
Determine your expiratory reserve volume (ERV). Do this by exhaling normally (not into the
spirometer) then, forcefully exhale as much as you can into the spirometer. Again, be sure the
spirometer is set at zero before you begin. Record the reading in Table 1 (ERV is usually about 25% of
VC).
INSPIRATORY RESERVE VOLUME (IRV)
Calculate your inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) by plugging the known values into the equation below.
SHOW your calculations below and enter the number in Table 1 (IRV is usually about 65% of VC).
Vital Capacity = TV + ERV + IRV
ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2B—REBECCA LOOMIS
Page 134
MINUTE RESPIRATORY VOLUME (MRV)
Calculate your minute respiratory volume. SHOW your calculations below and enter the value in Table
1.
Respiratory rate (breaths/min)
Minute Respiratory Volume = TV  Respiratory Rate
DEAD SPACE (DS)
Calculate the dead space. SHOW your calculations below and enter the number in Table 1.
Dead Space = TV x 30%
ALVEOLAR VENTILATION RATE (AVR)
The minute respiratory volume does not take into account the volume of air wasted in the dead space.
To get a more accurate measurement of respiratory efficiency, calculate the alveolar ventilation rate
(AVR). SHOW your calculations below and enter the number in Table 1.
AVR = (TV - Dead Space)  Respiratory Rate
RESIDUAL VOLUME (RV)
Residual volume (RV) is an amount of air that remains in the lungs even after a forceful expiration. This
air helps to keep the alveoli open and prevent lung collapse. Normally it is around 1200 mL. in males
and 1100 mL in females. Keep this in mind as you calculate total lung capacity below and answer the
following questions.
TOTAL LUNG CAPACITY (TLC)
Total lung capacity (TLC) is the sum of all lung volumes (normally around 6000 mL in males). Calculate
your TLC. SHOW your calculations below and enter the number in Table 1.
Use your text to write a formula to determine your total lung capacity. Write the formula, show the
calculations and your lung capacity as calculated below.

PART D—URINALYSIS QUESTIONS
Answer the following questions.
1. Were any of the urine samples abnormal? If so, which ones?
2. What would most likely be the cause of a urine sample with a positive test for nitrites, leukocytes and a slightly
higher than normal pH?
3. Are proteins or blood normally found in urine? If they are present, how might they get there?
4. If the urine sample tests positive for ketones and glucose, for what disease should the patient be checked?
5. Elevated levels of urobilinogen and bilirubin may indicate problems with what organ?
6. What dietary habits may cause an acidic urine sample (more acidic than normal)? What would cause a basic
urine sample?

FOLLICULAR PHASE–Period of follicle growth, typically from the first to the tenth day of the cycle
 Primordial follicle (squamous cells) becomes a  primary follicle (cuboidal cells)  Follicular cells become granulosa cells
(stratified epithelium)  connective tissue forms around granulosa cells (thecal folliculi); thecal and granulosa cells produce
estrogens  transparent membrane forms around oocyte (zona pellucida); antrum (fluid-filled cavity) develops between
granulosa cells  primary follicle becomes  secondary follicle; granulosa cells form the corona radiata at the edge of the follicle
 secondary follicle grows to full size and becomes a  Graafian or vesicular follicle.
OVULATORY PHASE–Occurs at mid-cycle, between day 10-14
 Secondary oocyte with its corona radiata are released into the peritoneal cavity when the ovarian wall ruptures. Only one
follicle outstrips the others to become the dominant follicle that will undergo ovulation; the others degenerate  (atretic
follicles).
LUTEAL PHASE–Period of corpus luteum activity, typically occurring 10 days after ovulation.
 Corpus luteum (yellow body) develops from granulosa and thecal cells after secondary oocyte has been released  secretes
estrogen and progesterone for 10 days until fertilization occurs  [1] if pregnancy occurs, corpus luteum persists until placenta
takes over its hormone-producing duties  [2] if pregnancy does not occur, corpus luteum degenerates in about 10 days to
become corpus albicans (white body) and hormone secretion ceases
