  1. What role did the gastrointestinal system play in altering the osmolarity of the plasma for the varying beverage tonicities (hypotonic, hypertonic, and isotonic)? Compare and contrast the differences in gastric fluid osmolarity, plasma osmolarity, and plasma volume between the subjects ingesting a hypotonic, hypertonic, and isotonic beverage. Recall that the body maintains plasma osmolarity between 280mOsm and 300mOsm.

6. Now thinking about digestion, describe the relationship you see regarding why mechanisms exist to control the secretion of the various digestive juices (and, in some instances, their enzymatic composition) as compared to the amount of substrate that is in the digestive tract at a given time.

7. What consequences would the rate at which an enzyme works to convert a substrate to a product have in the digestive system?

Select the answer that correctly describes how Interferon beta 1a works to slow the progression of multiple sclerosis.

1 pt Interferon beta 1a acts directly on the neuron to attract more oligodendrocytes to produce more myelin.

Interferon beta 1a helps to regulate the immune system, preventing autoimmune attacks on the myelin.

Interferon beta 1a creates a protective sheath over the neuron, preventing the myelin sheath from being destroyed.

Interferon beta 1a stimulates Schwann cells to produce myelin in the central nervous system.

Interferon beta 1a is a neural stimulant, creating an environment where neurons can divide rapidly to replace those that are damaged.
