Why do we call cardiac muscle to be a syncytium of many individual muscle cells? What is the name of membranes that connect longitudinally adjacent muscle cells?

As you know the mechanism of organophosphates involves irreversible inhibitors of AChE. Organophosphates have been used in several murders (VX used to kill the half-brother of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un; Sarin gas used to kill 12 people on the Tokyo subway by the Japanese cult Aum Shinrikyo in 1995).The death of a victim is associated with difficulty of breathing and irregular heart rate. Please discuss the physiological mechanisms of organophosphates action on the lungs and on the heart.

An overweight 75 year old male with a history of coronary artery disease and shortness of breath on exertion celebrates his granddaughter’s wedding. He goes for several fast dances with the bride, after which he collapses on the floor, turns blue, and dies within minutes. What is the reason for his death?

Paraquat is one of the more interesting pulmonary toxicants, in part because it doesn’t have to be inhaled to produce severe lung injury.

Explain the mechanism of paraquat toxicity, including the role of metabolism and reactive oxygen species.

Describe the clinical signs and symptoms of paraquat poisoning.

Explain why the lung is a target organ for paraquat even if the route of exposure is ingestion.

Mr. Heyden, 72, is brought to the emergency room after an accident at his farm. The paramedics report that his left side was pinned beneath his tractor, and that when he was freed, his left lower quadrant appeared to be compressed. His blood pressure is 90/50 mm Hg and falling, and his heart rate is 116 beats/min. His pulse is thready. Mr. Heyden complains of pain in his left side and then loses consciousness.

1. Mr. Heyden's low blood pressure will trigger certain compensatory mechanisms. Which statement below best reflects the changes in hormone levels that will occur?

Mr. Heyden's ADH, aldosterone, and renin will increase.
Mr. Heyden's ADH and renin will decrease, and his aldosterone will increase.
Mr. Heyden's ADH will decrease, his aldosterone will increase, and his renin will be unchanged.
Mr. Heyden's ADH will increase, and his aldosterone and renin will decrease.

2. Mr. Heyden's blood K+ levels are high. Which of the following best explains his high K+ levels?

Mr. Heyden's increased secretion of aldosterone will cause his K+ levels to increase.
Mr. Heyden's damaged kidneys can no longer adequately remove K+ from his blood.
The loss of Mr. Heyden's spleen means that his aged and fragile erythrocytes are not being removed, and so are rupturing in his blood vessels and releasing K+.
Mr. Heyden's increased secretion of ADH will cause his K+ levels to increase.
