S.S. is a 54 year-old college professor who maintains a healthy lifestyle. He exercises regularly, doesn't smoke or drink alcohol, and tries to keep his weight within the normal range. Recently, he experienced generalized muscle weakness and severe headaches. He made an appointment with his physician, who ordered a battery of blood tests. These tests revealed the following: Arterial blood pH 7.50 Arterial blood pC02 50 mm Hg HCO5 36 megl Serum aldosterone Increased 1. Based on this information, you would expect that serum sodium concertrations would be: DA Unable to determine from avalable information B.Lower than nomal C. Nomal D. Higher than normal

Paul is a 23-year-old. He was the victim of a hit-and-run auto-pedestrian accident and suffered multiple abrasions, a concussion, and a deep laceration of his left thigh. He was discovered approximately 2 hours after the incident and is now in the emergency department. Paul’s vital signs and hematocrit suggest that he has had a blood loss of about 2,500 ml. A urinary catheter is inserted to monitor urine output, and fluid resuscitation is initiated while his wounds are cleaned and sutured. The urine output is averaging 15 ml/hr, with a high urine osmolality and low urine sodium. Without adequate therapy, what may develop? Why? What is the best therapy for preventing this from occurring?

Mrs. Johnson came into your clinic complaining of fatigue, feeling cold all the time, and unexplained weight gain. A blood test gives the following results (normal ranges given for comparison): T3: 0.03ng/dl (normal: 0.2-0.5 ng/dl) T4: 1.1 ug/dl (normal: 4-7 ug/dl) TSH: 86 mU/l (normal: 0.3-4.0 mU/l) A) Explain how you know the problem is with Mrs. Johnson’s thyroid and not her pituitary gland. B) Is Mrs. Johnson suffering from primary or secondary hypothyroidism? Explain your answer. you must explain the distinction between primary and secondary endocrine disorders and relate to this specific scenario
Use the word bank below to fill-out the table summarizing blood pressure control: Baroreflex Aldosterone Autoregulation Angiogenesis Medullary ischemic response Anti-diuretic hormone Atrial natriuretic peptide Reactive hyperemia Chemoreflex Vasoactive chemicals Angiotensin II Epinephrine & norepinephrine Type of blood pressure control: Examples: Specific way it controls blood pressure: Local: if tissue is inadequately perfused, wastes accumulate stimulating vasodilation which increases perfusion if blood supply cut off then restored, flow increases above normal substances such as histamine, bradykinin, and prostaglandins that stimulate vasomotion growth of new blood vessels Neural: blood pressure changes detected by carotid sinuses results in changes in heart rate and cardiac output (sympathetic control) Receptors in aortic and carotid bodies detect changes in blood pH, and alter heart and breathing rates to correct blood oxygenation levels. Vasomotion can also be altered. Automatic…
A patient with hypertension had a blood pressure 170/110. The physician prescribed for this patient an antihypertensive medication and advised him to undergo some lifestyle changes to lose weight. He returned to his physician two months later and had his blood pressure was 190/100. OA) Lifestyle changes and the antihypertensive medication worked because the diastolic blood pressure dropped from 110 mmHg to 100 mmHg O B) Lifestyle changes and the antihypertensive medication did not work because the mean arterial pressure increased OC) Lifestyle changes and antihypertensive medication did work because the mean arterial pressure decreased O D) Lifestyle changes and antihypertensive medication did work because the mean arterial pressure remained the same. E) Lifestyle changes and the antihypertensive medication did not work because the systolic blood pressure increased from 170 mmHg to 190 mmHg
