1. What are the basicity trends on the periodic table? I've heard both going down to the left and down to the right.
2. Why does the pressure increase in the left ventricle increase and the pressure in the right ventricle decrease? The reasoning behind it in the book was that systemic resistance increases, why is this? Shouldn't it take an increase in pressure to inflate the lungs instead of shunting the blood?
3. Are microvilli cells made of only 1 layer of epithelial cells and 1 layer of basement membrane cells? Is there more than 1 cell layer b/t the aplical and basolateral side (since the depictions show a single cell when showing tight junctions, is there then a space between the basolateral side and the basement membrane?)
4. Given that cortisol is meant to respond to stress, why then does it trigger glycogen production? Isn't this counterproductive to its other effect (gluconeogenesis) since glycogen production is also a result of insulin?
5. How is the complement system for the immune response nonspecific if as shown in the humoral response, the complement system is specific?
