COMPREHENSIVE SECTION: #1.   List the 2 organ systems that regulate or control most every physiological activity            [1a]           [1b]     #2.  Two pressures are recorded when measuring blood pressure.  Fill -in the blanks by selecting from the following :       A. ventricular contraction    B.  diastole    C.  systole             D.  ventricular relaxation   [2a]       is the peak arterial BP attained during  [2b]     . [2c]     is the minimum arterial BP occurring during [2d] .

For each of the following series, apply one of the convergence tests to determine wither the series is absolutely converging, conditionally converging or diverging. When applying a series test: Explicitly state the test being used. Explicitly state the hypotheses for the test and provide justification that the series satisfies each hypothesis.

Match the characteristics of cellular and humoral immunity:   Intracellular pathogens & cancer cells                                                                Humoral Immunity Antibodies (chemical attack agent) Cytotoxic T cells (effector cell)                                                                             Cellular Immunity Apoptosis Agglutination Tumor necrosis factor Extracellular stages of infectious organisms Requires helps of antigen presenting cells (APC) Only  MHC II

In most states, the statute of frauds makes oral contracts to which it applies voidable.

An offer is the manifestation of a willingness to enter a contract if the other person agrees to the terms.
