Introduction
Each PreTest® Self Assessment and Review allows medical students to com-
prehensively and conveniently assess and review their knowledge of a par-
ticular basic science, in this instance physiology. The 500 questions parallel
the subject areas and degree of difficulty presented by the United States
Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1.
Each question is accompanied by the correct answer and its explana-
tion. The explanation provides the reason why the correct answer is correct
and, in many cases, the reason why the wrong answers are wrong. In addi-
tion, the explanation provides additional information relevant to the topic
the question is designed to test. The references accompanying each ques-
tion are from the major textbooks purchased by most medical students.
The material in the referenced pages will provide a more expansive descrip-
tion of the subject matter covered by the question.
One effective way to use the PreTest® is to answer 150 of the questions
in two and a half hours. Write the answers on a separate sheet of paper and
then compare your answers to the ones provided in the book. The PreTest®
can also be used as a review book. Answer a group of questions covering
the same topic, check your answers, and then read the explanations and
the referenced text pages. Whichever way you use the PreTest®, the most
important part of your review is to be found in the explanations. The infor-
mation in the explanations is designed to reinforce and expand on the
material covered by the questions.
The High-Yield Facts found at the beginning of the book are not meant
to be a complete list of all of the important facts, concepts, and equations
necessary for understanding physiology. However, those that are included
offer a solid foundation of the subjects they do cover and should be
included in your review of physiology in preparation for a class test or for
the Step 1 Examination. If you are not familiar with a section of the mate-
rial presented in the High-Yield Facts, you should plan to do more reading.
If, on the other hand, you have a good grasp of this material, you can feel
confident in your knowledge of that topic.
Good luck on your exam.

CELLULAR PHYSIOLOGY
• Ions, nutrients, and waste material are transported across cell membranes by dif-
fusion, osmosis, and active transport.
Simple diffusion is described by the Fick equation. Carrier-mediated diffusion,
called facilitated diffusion, is described by the Michaelis-Menton equation (see figure
below).

is an index of the membrane’s permeability to the solute and varies between 0 and 1.
Particles that are impermeable to the membrane have a reflection coefficient of 1.
Particles that are freely permeable to the membrane have a reflection coefficient of 0.
The osmotic pressure (in units of mmHg) is calculated with the van’t Hoff
equation:
π=cRT
Cells shrink when placed in hypertonic solutions and swell when placed in
hypotonic solutions. Tonicity is the concentration of nonpermeable particles. The
following equation is used to calculate the steady state volume of the cell:
πinitial Vinitial = πfinal Vfinal
Active transport processes may be primary or secondary. Primary active trans-
port processes, such as the Na-K pump, use the energy derived from the hydrolysis
of ATP to transport materials against their electrochemical gradient. Secondary active
transport processes, such as those that transport glucose and amino acids into renal
or intestinal epithelial cells, use the energy from the Na+ electrochemical gradient.
• All cells have membrane potentials. The magnitude of the membrane potential is
determined by the membrane permeability and ion concentration gradient of the
ions that are permeable to the membrane.
In the resting state, the membrane is primarily permeable to K+, and, therefore,
the resting membrane potential is close to the equilibrium potential for K+.
The equilibrium potential is calculated with Nernst’s equation:
Concin
(
Eion = −60 log
Concout )
The resting potential is calculated with the transference equation:
4 Physiology
• Cardiac muscle membranes contain Na+, K+, and Ca2+ ion selective channels.
• The upstroke (phase 0) is produced by the activation of Na+ channels.
• The initial repolarization (phase 1) is produced by inactivation of Na+ channels.
• The plateau (phase 2) is caused by the activation of Ca2+ channels and the clos-
ing of inward rectifying (anomalous) K+ channels.
• The downstroke (phase 3) is caused by the activation of the delayed rectifier K+
channels and the inactivation of Ca2+ channels (see figure on p 5).
• Increasing extracellular K+ concentration depolarizes the membrane and reduces
its excitability. Excitability is reduced because the depolarization inactivates Na+
channels. The reduced excitability can lead to muscle weakness and cardiac
arrhythmias.
• Synaptic transmission is used to transmit information from one cell to another
cell. The synaptic transmitter, released from the presynaptic cell by exocytosis,
diffuses across a synaptic cleft and binds to a receptor on the postsynaptic cell.
The effect produced on the postsynaptic cell depends on the identity of the
synaptic transmitter and the receptor (see figure on p 6).
Acetylcholine, which binds to the end plate of skeletal muscle cells, and glu-
tamate and GABA, which bind to the postsynaptic membranes of many central ner-
vous system membranes, open ion selective channels.
Norepinephrine and acetylcholine, which bind to the postsynaptic mem-
branes of smooth muscle cells, produce their effect by activating a G protein which,
in turn, activates an enzyme-mediated response.
• Muscle contraction is produced by repetitive cycling of the myosin cross-bridges
on thick filaments. The cross-bridges attach to actin molecules on the thin fila-
ments and cause the thin filaments to slide over the thick filaments toward the
center of the sarcomere (skeletal or cardiac muscle) or cell (smooth muscle; see
figure on p 7).
The initiation of contraction is called excitation-contraction coupling. In striated
muscle, excitation-contraction coupling is initiated when Ca2+ binds to troponin.
Troponin causes tropomyosin to move, thereby exposing the actin binding site to
myosin (see figure on p 8).
In skeletal muscle, Ca2+ is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) when
the muscle fiber depolarizes.
In cardiac muscle, Ca2+ is released from the SR by the Ca2+ that enters the cell
during the cardiac action potential.
In smooth muscle, excitation-contraction coupling is initiated when Ca2+
binds to calmodulin.
The Ca2+-calmodulin complex activates myosin light chain kinase (MLCK)
which, in turn, phosphorylates the 20,000-Da myosin light chains (LC20). Cross-
bridge cycling begins when the myosin light chains are phosphorylated.
