Which of the following measures is commonly used with the median to indicate the spread of data 

Page 2: Consider the following description of a feedback loop: When blood Calcium gets low the receptors located in cells of the parathyroid gland detect this deviation of the controlled condition. A gene in the nucleus of the cells of the parathyroid gland becomes active and begins making parathyroid hormone. Parathyroid hormone acts on osteoclasts in the bones to stimulate their activity. Osteoclasts increase their bone resorption, increasing calcium levels in the blood. 6. What is the effector in the above example [6] 7. The above example is an example of a [7] 8.

Page 1: 1. Two or more tissues working together for a common function is called a [1] 2. The spleen belongs to the [2] system 3. Which is a the best description of the function of the lymphatic and immune system [3] Consider the following: When damage is sustained to a larger artery, significant blood loss can occur. A decrease in blood volume consequently causes blood pressure to drop. A drop in blood pressure is detected by baroreceptors that experience less stretch in certain arteries. This information is received by the cardiovascular center of the medulla oblongata which responds by sending nervous impulses through the sympathetic cardiac accelerator nerves. This results in an increased heart rate. As blood is pumped more quickly through the blood vessels, blood loss accelerates. This further decreases blood volume and therefore blood pressure. The medulla oblongata responds by telling the heart to beat even faster. This further increases blood lose, decreasing blood volume and blood pressure. Without medical intervention, this loop can continue until the the brain is no longer receiving enough oxygen leading to death. 4. The above is describing a [4] 5.

Page 4: 16. Cell-cell junctions that attach the cytoskeleton of a cell to the cytoskeleton of another cell are called what? [16] They consist of intermediate filaments attached to a plaque attached to transmembrane cadherins attached to cadherins from another cell, that pass through the plasma membrane to attach to intermediate filaments of the next cell via a plaque. 17.
