, 85 questions and answers from Guyton and Hall Textbook of Medical Physiology, 14th
edition. Fun to do!



1. What is the primary function of erythrocytes in the blood?

- Answer: Erythrocytes, or red blood cells, transport oxygen from the lungs to tissues and
return carbon dioxide from tissues to the lungs.



2. How does the kidney regulate blood pressure?

- Answer: The kidneys regulate blood pressure by adjusting blood volume through sodium
and water reabsorption, and through the release of renin, which activates the renin-
angiotensin-aldosterone system.



3. Explain the Frank-Starling law of the heart.

- Answer: The Frank-Starling law states that the strength of the heart’s contraction is
directly proportional to its initial length of myocardial fibers, meaning the heart pumps more
effectively with increased venous return.



4. What role does calcium play in muscle contraction?

- Answer: Calcium ions bind to troponin in muscle fibers, causing conformational changes
that allow actin and myosin interaction, which is essential for muscle contraction.



5. What is the blood-brain barrier, and why is it important?

- Answer: The blood-brain barrier is a selective permeability barrier that protects the brain
from harmful substances in the blood while allowing essential nutrients to pass through.



6. Describe the role of baroreceptors in blood pressure regulation.

- Answer: Baroreceptors detect changes in blood pressure and send signals to the
brainstem to initiate corrective mechanisms to stabilize blood pressure.



7. What is the function of the hypothalamus in homeostasis?
