1. Consider a person who is has just had a very salty meal (ie lots of NaCl). a. What effect would the meal have on their extracellular fluid osmolarity? b. How would the osmolarity be brought back to normal c. What effect would the correction ofthe osmolarity have on their blood pressure?
A) THERE WILL BE INCREASE IN THE EXTRACELLULAR FLUIDS OF THE BODY,AS THERE WILL BE INCREASE IN THE CONCENTRATION OF SALTS AROUND THE CELLS,THIS WILL DRAW THE WATER OUT FROM THE CELLS TO THE EXTRA CELLULAR SPACES.
B) EXCRETION OF THE EXCESS OF THE SALTS IN THE BODY,AND BY DRINKING LOTS OF WATER,AS WHEN THERE IS EXCESS EXCRETION OF SALTS,THERE WILL EXCESS LOSS OF WATER ALSO LEADING TO DEHYDRATION.
SO DRINKING OF LOTS OF WATER.
C)THERE WILL BE INCREASE IN THE BLOOD PRESSURE,AFTER THE INTAKE OF SALTY MEAL.
BUT AFTER THE CORRECTION OF OSMOLARITY,THE BLOOD PRESSURE WILL COME TO NORMAL,BUT IF THERE IS OVER CORRECTION,THERE WILL BE INCREASE IN THE BLOOD PRESSURE AS THERE WILL BE ACTIVATION OF RAAS ,WHICH WILL PRODUCE ENZYME RENIN.
RENIN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SHOOTING UP OF THE B.P.

1.The thyroid gland: shrinks when a person has goiter, which is caused by an iodide deficiency. produces thyrotropin-releasing hormone. sequesters iodide from the diet, and synthesizes thyroxine and T3. produces thyroid-stimulating hormone. stores thyroxine for up to months in the thyrotropes. 2. Increasing the concentrations of which of the following would cause the largest increase in calcium concentrations in the extracellular fluid? activating osteoblasts increasing the plasma concentrations of parathyroid hormone and calcitonin activating the chondrocytes increasing the plasma concentrations...

5) Consider an individual who had been undergoing starvation for 4 days. Blood samples and a biopsy of their liver were taken at the start of the starvation period and at the end of starvation. Indicate the likely concentration of metabolites or activity of enzymes, respectively, that molecular analysis would reveal for this person. Indicate if the levels have increased, decreased or remain unchanged over the 4 day period. Provide a reason to justify your conclusion and any potential effect...
Scenario 1 RR is a 58 year old man who has had been diagnosed with hypertension of 178/92 and hyperlipidemia.

In the ER, A mother has brought in her 20-year-old daughter, C.J., who has type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) and has just returned from a trip to Mexico. She has had a 3-day fever and diarrhea with nausea and vomiting (N/V). She has been unable to eat and has tolerated only sips of fluid. Because she was unable to eat, she did not take her insulin. Because C.J. is unsteady, you bring her to the examining room in a wheelchair....
