Chapter 23, Problem 3CCS
Kyle Boulard, a 35-year-old male, is believed to be one of the primary causes of the a bus accident on Route 91. Passengers on the bus reported that Mr. Boulard was clearly intoxicated when he boarded the bus. According to these reports, Mr. Boulard behaved erratically, appeared disoriented, and left his seat and staggered down the aisle. Just prior to the accident, he had stumbled into the driver’s compartment. Paramedics found Mr. Boulard in a disoriented state when they arrived on the scene, but noted only minor injuries. A “fruity acetone combined with alcohol” smell was noted on his breath. What follows is a summary of the notable test results:
| General | Blood | Urine |
| BP: 95/58 | pH: 7.1 | Odor: “fruity acetone” |
| HR: 110 | Glucose: 345 mg/dl | pH: 4.3 |
| Glucose: strongly positive | ||
| Blood alcohol: 110 mg/dl |
Where in the body are ketone bodies produced? What energy source does the body use to produce these substances?

Morgan has been overweight for years. Recently, he developed abdominal
pain that occurs every few days. The pain usually starts within 30 minutes
after a fatty or greasy meal and can last for one to five hours. Preliminary
diagnosis indicates stones formation at location X as shown in Figure 1.

A 35-year-old woman became severely depressed after the sudden death of her husband. Twomonths later, she was brought to the emergency room by her friend because of extremeweakness and lethargy. She appeared thin and pale. Upon history taking, the doctor found thatshe had not eaten for several weeks. Analysis of the plasma sample indicated elevated levels ofalanine, acetoacetate, β-hydroxybutyrate and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). However, her plasmaglucose concentration was low (55mg/dL). She was hospitalized, given intravenous feeding,antidepressant medications and subsequently shifted to a 1800kCal (7500kJ) diet. Her recoverywas uneventful.3.a) How could the patient maintain her plasma glucose levels within normal limits even though shewas not eating?b
During an evening stroll around Centennial Park, you and a few classmate decide to grab Krystal Burgers prior to the walk. Although late night snacking
is not recommended, a fellow Fiskite eases the thought by stating "AT LEAST we are WALKING while SNACKING." Be that as it may, Elijah and Myles
decide to seize the opportunity for a quick MCB review!!!! IMAGINE THAT!!!!!! As not to complicate the calculation and ruin what began as a relaxing
stroll, Myles (in the absence of actual data) asks:
How much energy is anticipated following the consumption of
• fries--- a known carbohydrates, if the polymer consists of an unbranched glycogen chain consisting of 6 resides.
burgers with say, a fat content of (3 ) triglycerides (which is unrealistic), containing (2) 18C fatty acyl chains and (1) 14 Carbon. Jordan interrupts by
recalling the need to include the glycerol backbone and a functional Carnithine Shuttle!
• and let us not forget that super-sized drink sweetened with sucrose.. 2 molecules…

A few days after preparing one of her famous pork dishes, Renota experienced diarrhea, abdominal pain, and chronic indigestion. She went to her family physician and explained her symptoms to him. The physician, who knew the family well and was familiar with the family business, immediately suspected a bacterial or parasitic infection. A stool sample for routine bacterial culture and O&P study was collected from Renota and submitted to the local diagnostic laboratory. Routine processing procedures were conducted on the stool sample. Gross examination of the stool revealed a portion of the infecting worm (Fig. A). An egg, measuring 36 by 25 um (Fig. B), was seen on the permanent O&P slide. No intestinal bacterial pathogens were isolated. 1. What is the morphologic form of Figure…arrow_forward

However, when the doctors introduced glucagon, the blood sugar levels stabilized. The patient was diagnosed as having a deficiency in glucagon. Select the item below that describes an effect of this condition. Select one: a. The liver breaks down glycogen to glucose, increasing the blood glucose concentration. b. The liver cannot break down glycogen to glucose, so the blood glucose remains low. c. The adipose tissue breaks down fat to form glycogen, keeping blood glucose low. d. The muscle cells cannot store glycogen, so the blood glucose remains high.arrow_forwardMarissa has joined a weight loss program.
