Transcribed Image Text:3. Eric goes to the doctor to determine the cause and source of the
pain. The physician orders a CT scan, which shows that Eric has
an enlarged and inflamed appendix (an organ associated with
the digestive system). Eric asks the physician why she did not
just take an x-ray of his belly region. What is the physician's
reasoning for why an x-ray would not be the best diagnostic
imaging tool?
a. X-ray images are more expensive to produce than CT scans.
c. No, because the drug is supposed to elevate mood and
affect brain function, and it shouldn't have any effect on the
digestive system.
d. No, because the drug is quickly absorbed from the digestive
tract and does not remain in the digestive system long enough
to have any effect there.

2. Carly was stung by a bee and was taken to the emergency
room because she was undergoing anaphylactic shock
(e.g., her breathing became more rapid and more difficult, her
heartbeat increased). She was given a shot of epinephrine,
which reduced her allergic reactions and brought her
breathing and heartbeat back to normal. Did the dose of
epinephrine result in a negative feedback mechanism
occurring, or a positive feedback mechanism occurring?
Explain your answer.
a. The blood vessels in your skin constrict.
b. The sweat glands release sweat.
c. Nerve impulses are sent to muscles to cause shivering.
d. The smooth muscle associated with hair follicles contracts,
causing goose bumps.
5. A friend just started taking Zoloft (an SSRI) and is
experiencing an upset stomach and diarrhea. Your friend asks if
the drug is causing her symptoms and you respond:
Your grandmother is being seen by a radiologist to
diagnose a possible tumor in her small intestine. Explain
to your grandmother what imaging techniques would best
determine whether a tumor exists, and which techniques
would be inadequate for determining the placement of

a. Yes, because the drug is irritating her stomach lining and that
explains her symptoms.
b. Yes, because serotonin is located in both the brain and
the digestive tract, so the drug is altering digestive system
functioning.
