Case 1: The Cold ColonelYou are called upon to visit the ailing Col. Lemon. Before you see him, you speak with three witnesses who were with himwhen he fell ill.Witness statements:I Ms. Magenta: “Col. Lemon has been hot-blooded for as long as I've known him. But I noticed that he couldn'tseem to keep warm. He kept complaining about being cold..."I Mr. Olive: “Just between you and me, I've noticed that the old chap has put on quite a bit of weight lately."I Professor Purple: “The colonel and I used to go on major expeditions together. Now he just doesn't seem to havethe energy to do much of anything." You see the colonel and collect some blood to send off to the lab. The analysis comes back as follows:T3 (triiodothyronine): 0.03 ng/dl (normal: 0.2–0.5 ng/dl)T4 (thyroxine): 1.1 µg/dl (normal: 4–7 µg/dl)TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone): 86 mU/l (normal: 0.3-4.0 mU/l)Analyze the results. Why do you think the T3 and T4 are low and the TSH is elevated?..

Hormones are defined as the chemical messengers where they are secreted by the endocrine glands and…

The analysis comes back as follows: T3 (triiodothyronine): 0.03 ng/dl (normal: 0.2-0.5 ng/dl) T4 (thyroxine): 1.1 pg/dl (normal: 4–7 µg/dl) TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone): 86 mU/1 (normal: 0.3–4.0 mU/l) Analyze the results. Why do you think the T3 and T4 are low and the TSH is elevated?

You have been asked to take a pulse and a blood pressure reading on 80-year-old Mrs. Leonard, who is very frail and thin. The provider is running ahead of schedule and is waiting on you so he can examine the patient. You have to work rather quickly. You take the patient's pulse rate, which is 96 beats per minute. You notice that the patient's heart appears to skip a few beats. The patient's blood pressure is 152/94. A. What type of blood pressure cuff would work best on this patient? B. What may be a contributor to the patient's pulse rate being so high? C. Would the patient be considered to have controlled blood pressure? D. The patient's heart rhythm would be termed as what?

F2 over the arrow connecting these variables. The slope of this relationship is 0.225 mmHg/(L/min). In the absence of the drug, Xor's blood pressure would drop as low as 70 mmHg. As the blood pressure falls to 70 mm Hg, how much drug should we administer to restore the blood pressure to 105 mmH? To answer this question, assume the following conditions: 1. the drug directly affects the rate of blood flow from the heart (L/min), 2. the drug has no effect at dosages below 41 g and has a linear effect on the rate of blood flow at dosages above 41 g. The slope of this linear effect is 2.91 (L/min) / g of drug, and 3. the drug must increase the rate of blood flow enough to increase the blood pressure from 70 mm Hg to 105 mmHg, and 4. the slope of the linear relationship between the rate of blood flow from the heart and the blood pressure in megaraffes is 0.225 mmHg/(L/min). Our goal is to determine the dosage of the drug needed to increase the blood pressure by 35 mmHg. We'll work backwards…
