1. Hypotension will lower the plasma osmolarity, blood pressure, and blood volume. This will activate the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Overhydration will increase the blood volume. This will trigger the cardiac atrial cells to secrete atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP). Fasting will increase the plasma osmolarity, decrease blood pressure and blood volume. This will trigger the secretion of anti-diuretic hormone (ADH).

a. True

b. False

2. What is TRUE about acetylcholine? There may be more than one answer.

a. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that binds to the nicotinic receptor at the motor-end-plate of a muscle fiber and it is a neuromodulator when it binds to the nicotinic receptor at the dendrites of a post-ganglionic neuron.

b. It takes two acetylcholine to open the gate of a nicotinic receptor, which will cause a greater influx of Na+ compared to the amount of efflux of K+.

c. Acetylcholine binds at the muscarinic receptors at the atria only of the heart to decrease the heart rate.

d. Acetylcholine is a neurocrine but it is never found in the blood because it is not a neurohormone.

e. Acetylcholine causes an excitatory response on the muscle fiber when it binds to the acetylcholine esterase.

3.

What force favors the glomerular filtration process?

a. Hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capillary

b. Osmotic pressure in the glomerular capillary

c. Hydrostatic pressure in the Bowman's capsule

d. Osmotic pressure in the Bowman's capsule

e. Hydrostatic pressure and osmotic pressure in the glomerular capillary

a. Alpha 1, alpha 2, and beta 1 receptors have greater affinity (or sensitivity) to norepinephrine than epinephrine.

b. Beta 2 receptor has an equal affinity for norepinephrine and epinephrine while beta 3 receptor has a greater affinity for epinephrine than norepinephrine.

c. Beta 1, beta 2, and beta 3 receptors increase cAMP but only beta 1 receptor causes an excitatory response in the heart muscle.

d. Alpha 1receptor activates cAMP and causes an excitatory response to most of the sympathetic target tissues.

e. Alpha 2 activates cAMP and causes an inhibitory response in the gastrointestinal tract.

2. Which line of defense mechanisms against acid-base disturbances will be the quickest to maintain blood pH?

a. Buffered by bicarbonate in the blood

b. Respiratory compensation by expiration of carbon dioxide

c. Renal compensation by tubular reabsorption of bicarbonate and tubular secretion of H+

a. Beta 1, Beta 2, and Beta 3 increases cAMP while Alpha 2 deactivates cAMP.   

b. Epinephrine and norepinephrine are first messengers that bind equally to Beta 1 receptors to activate adenylyl cyclase in the heart muscle or kidney.

c. Adenylyl cyclase, an amplifier enzyme, converts an intracellular ATP into cAMP, a second messenger.

a. The proximal convoluted tubule is the initial site of tubular reabsorption, where 100% of the filtrate is reabsorbed and the process is unregulated.

b. Atrial natriuretic peptide targets the principal cells of the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct to increase the tubular reabsorption of water.

c. The descending limb of the loop of Henle only causes the reabsorption of water back into the blood of the peritubular
