Personal Planning. Critically review the requirements for completing the program and develop a personal plan to complete the course work while balancing other demands (e.g. family, work, and hobbies.) The plan should include:

1. A general description of your overall strategy, as well as
2. A personalized timetable for completing weekly readings, Discussions, and Assignments for this course.

2. Using a specific example, describe the process by which the hypothalamus can direct the secretion of an anterior pituitary gland hormone and the effects at the target organ or tissue.

     a. A Hyperosmotic solution is always Hypertonic
     b. A Isosmotic solution may be Isotonic or Hypertonic but not Hypotonic
     c. A Hyposmotic solution may be Hypotonic, Isotonic or Hypertonic
     d. All of the above are true
     e. None of the above is true

b) Which of the following is NOT a second messenger molecule used in cellular signal transduction pathways?

     a. cyclic GMP
     b. Inositol triphosphate
     c. Phospholipase A2
     d. Diacylglycerol
     e. cyclic AMP

c) Which of the following is/are true regarding facilitated diffusion? (2 points)

     a. It is an active process requiring ATP
     b. It uses a protein carrier in the cell membrane
     c. It utilizes a concentration gradient of one molecule to move another molecule against its concentration gradient
   d. All of the above are true

d) A patient comes into the hospital with very low blood pressure. Which solution below will expand his plasma volume to the greatest extent and remain in the plasma. Which of the following solutions is the best choice? (4 points)

        a. Hypertonic Saline (NaCl solution)
        b. Hypertonic Albumin (protein solution)
        c. Hypotonic Dextrose (d-glucose solution)
        d. Hypotonic Potassium Chloride (KCl solution)

0.9% saline (NaCl solution), commonly referred to clinically as Normal saline, is isosmotic and isotonic to cells in the body. Serum osmolarity is normally around 290 mOsm/liter.   Now, what would happen clinically if one infused 500 ml of Normal Saline into the vascular system of a patient? In other words, how would the water and ions (Na and Cl) be distributed in the plasma, interstitial fluid and intracellular compartment? From each grouping of three choices, pick the correct statement for each group.

A. Pick one choice from a, b and c below:

a.       The infused water would be distributed evenly between the extracellular compartment and the cells.

b.      The infused water would be distributed mostly to the intracellular space as opposed to the extracellular space.

c.       The infused water would be distributed between the extracellular compartment and very little would enter the cells.

B. Pick one choice from d, e and f below:

d.      The ions would be distributed evenly between the extracellular compartment and the cells.

e.       The ions would be distributed mostly to the intracellular space as opposed to the extracellular space.

f.        The ions would be distributed between the extracellular compartment and very little would enter the intracellular space.
