1. Why would a drug called renin inhibitors be effective in treating hypertension?

2. A toddler in Africa travels to a remote area with no access to clean drinking water. He drinks sewage water and soon develops severe diarrhea and dies 10 days later of cardiac arrest. Explain the possible physiological cause(s) of his death.

3. A patient with poor blood flow to the kidneys is treated with an ACE inhibitor and goes into renal failure. Explain the reason for the renal failure.

You are talking with a friend who has recently started an exercise regimen, and they comment that they are planning to quit because they experience muscle soreness following their workouts. In your communication assignment for this week explain why this occurs. You should focus on the molecular mechanism of muscle contraction and how muscles become fatigued. You should also discuss the ways muscles adapt to changing activity levels at the molecular level as you encourage them to increase their fitness level.

If humans keep evolving, what changes could you see in the nervous system?

Describe Brown-Séquard syndrome and the sensory and motor losses that accompany it. In responses, describe the basis for these losses.

1. Consider a generic synapse.  How are neurotransmitters released and how do they pass information.  Also, how is the signal “shut off”?
2. Why is myelination adaptive considering long axons ie from a motor neuron in the cortex?

What muscles/joints are used in the five stages of a burpee?

Matt is sitting in a chair at a table anxiously waiting for his Chinese takeout to arrive. The doorbell rings and Matt moves from his chair to go to the door to meet the delivery person. In the process of moving from his chair to ultimately sitting back in his chair and eating his sweet and sour chicken with rice, he has to progress through a series of motions. First he must stand upright from his sitting position in the chair. He turns around 180 degrees to face the door. Then he jumps over his couch, takes several steps forward, grabs the door knob, turns it 180 degrees clockwise and pulls open the door. Once he has the food in hand, he turns back around, walks back to his chair and sits down. He divides the food into two bowls for both Maria and himself. He grasps the chicken and rice with a set of chopsticks, raises it to his mouth, takes a bite, which he then chews and swallows.

All the actions that Matt made to move from the chair to the door and back involved the contraction of voluntary skeletal muscles that are each innervated by a specific nerve and each of which cross a specific joint or set of joints to produce a specific action. The series of above actions took Matt less than 3 minutes to complete.

Describe in order and in detail the following movements.

1. Stand up from a sitting position
2. While standing upright, turn around 180 degrees to face opposite direction
3. Jumping over the couch and taking several steps forward.
4. Reach forward and grasp a door knob.
5. Turn a door knob 180 degrees clockwise
6. Sit down in a chair.
7. Grasp the chopsticks.
8. Raise the chicken and rice from a bowl to mouth.
9. Bite, chew and then swallow a portion of the food.

Break down each of the above actions into an ordered series of joint movements. Actually do the actions yourself and note which joints move in what order.  What muscles produces these movements?

Describe the interplay between: the juxtaglomerular apparatus, the renin-angiostensin pathway, aldosterone, and the distal convulated tubules of the kidney

Explain how hepatitis delta virus regulates expression of the two forms of the delta antigen (understand the process of genome editing).

3. Explain the process of how the nervous system can cause the release of a hormone and provide an example of the process.
