2. In order for an effector to respond to a command via either of the endocrine or nervous system, it must be able to respond to a chemical (hormone or neurotransmitter). Explain how the effector is able to respond to these chemical signals (i.e. what must it have either in its membrane or inside its cells). Describe how this process of intercellular communication exemplifies the relationship between structure and function.

Describe all the events (steps) that occur during a cardiac cycle for mammals (organisms with a double circulation), as well as the opening and closing of all heart valves and the signals arising from the SA and AV nodes How does this cycle contribute to metabolic homeostasis for our cells, and what is the purpose of the valves?

Questions
Question 1.
Equation 1: Mean Arterial Blood Pressure = Cardiac Output X Total Peripheral Resistance
Equation 2: Blood Flow = Δ Blood Pressure / Resistance
If you increase the radius of a blood vessel this leads to a decrease in the resistance to blood flow along that blood vessel. If the difference in blood pressure between the beginning and the end of this blood vessel does not change, then according to equation 2, blood flow should increase.
But, equation 1 suggests that if you decrease resistance then you should decrease blood pressure. According to equation 2, if you decrease blood pressure then blood flow should decrease.
Therefore, there appears to be a conflict between the two equations with a decrease in resistance (equation 2) leading to an increase in blood flow but also leading to a decrease in blood pressure (equation 1) which should, in turn, lead to a decrease in blood flow (equation 2). However, there is no conflict. Think carefully about what the two equations represent and indicate why this apparent conflict does not exist.

4. Hyperkalemia is a dangerous condition that occurs when your blood has too much potassium. It can be caused by taking medications for hypertension. Based on what you know about potassium’s role in the body, explain specifically why high blood potassium is dangerous (2 pts). What hormone is released due to high blood potassium (1 pts)? How is this condition linked to hypertension medications such as ACE inhibitors (2 pts), angiotensin 2 antagonists (2 pts), and renin inhibitors(2 pts)? 1 pts for essay formatting, grammar and spelling.
