1. Obese individuals have more (neurons/osteocytes/myofibrils/adipocytes)  than normal weight individuals.

2. After growth ceases, the number of fat cells may continue to increase if energy balance is (positive/reverse/negative/consistent)

3. Obese individuals generally have more (protein/pyruvate/lipoprotein hydrase/lipoprotein lipase) activity in their fat cells than normal weight individuals. This is an enzyme responsible for removing triglycerides from the blood stream and placing them in fat storage.

4. One theory as to why some individuals are more prone to weight gain, and thus obesity, than others, is the (set point/genetic/fixed/inherit) theory which states that a person’s body has its own inherent controls that tend to keep the body within a fixed weight range.

5. Genetic factors determine how susceptible a person is to developing obesity, but (genomic/endogenous/epigenetic/modulation) factors such as a consistently healthy lifestyle and healthy diet can play a significant role as well.

6. The hormone (testosterone/ghrelin/cortisol/leptin) regulates appetite in response to body fat.

7. As a means of controlling appetite and cueing satiety, the (norepinephrine/ghrelin/norleptin/estogren) hormone is regulated by intake.

describe filtrate formation from Bowman's capsule to excretion.

56-year old male who initially presented weight loss, loin pain, haematuria and painful inflamed joints. he also complained of a persistent unproductive cough that had been worsening over the past 3 months. he had also developed a pronounced wheeze and some chest pains.
precious medical history:
-Exertional angina and hypertension (diagnosed 8 years ago), and appendicitis (6 years ago).
Drug History:
-thiazide diuretics- patient been taking these since hypertension was diagnosed.
-chest x-ray and blood samples taken showed polycythaemia
3 days later the patient arrested, resuscitation was unsuccessful and the patient died.

What was the patients cause of death?
what were the signs and symptoms?

Briefly, explain the general concept of a steroid hormone’s “permissive action” on peptide/amine hormones.

62 year old male admitted into hospital with a history of colicky abdominal pain associated with increasing ascites and jaundice. liver function at this time was markedly abnormal with a bilirubin of 257, INR 2.4, Albumin 23.
Clinical signs were of hepatic encephalopathy with marked ascites. several litres of fluid were drained and a culture isolated pseudomonas sp. he was treated with antibiotics but continued to deteriorate and also developed renal failure due to hepatorenal syndrome. unfortunately, he died 6 days after admission.

What was patients cause of death?
what were the signs and symptoms?

Briefly, describe the general idea behind the concept of amplification of the signal delivered by the hormone when it stimulates a 2nd messenger cascade.

Task 1: Consider hip hinging to touch your toes or palms to floor in open space versus performing the same hip hinge with your heels and coccyx touching a wall.

Task 2: Consider performing planter flexion from standing position in free space versus performing the same movement while facing a wall and your nose touching the wall

1.Consider the free space versus inhibited space demonstrations: why was it so difficult to achieve stability between conditions? a)Plantar flexing against a wall face forward b)Toe touch with back to wall

2.Consider trunk extension : Why might there be a difference in how each sex may be able to complete the task or not?

Please help with both questions!!!!!!

What is the Planar Motor Control Task? What is a typical recovery when patients were tested using it compared to the performance of non-stroke control subjects? When does recovery plateau?

There are six commonly identified occupational risk factors for upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders.  At least three of these risk factors are directly effected by hand tool design.  Discuss the effect that hand tool design may have on each (at least three) of these risk factors.

Type II diabetes is the most common type of diabetes and it causes tissues to develop insulin resistance or simple the body cannot produce enough insulin. A common side effect of type II diabetes is obesity, however with the proper diet and exercise, weight loss is possible. A recommended diet for those with type II diabetes is to eat complex carbohydrates versus simple carbohydrates. What this means is that brown rice, whole wheat, quinoa, oatmeal, fruits, vegetables, beans, and lentils should be consumed regularly and that sugar, pasta, white bread, flour, and cookies, pastries should be eliminated. Proteins can include the following: beans, legumes, eggs, seafood, dairy, peas, tofu, and lean meats and poultry. Other foods that need to be avoided are sodas, trans fats, high-fat animal products, high-fat dairy products, high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, and any highly processed foods. Along with a healthy diet, exercise is important because it can help lower blood glucose level. While exercising, muscles use glucose even if there is no insulin and in return since glucose is being used then glucose levels go down. It is recommended to exercise for about 30 minutes daily, and this can be a combination of tennis, dancing, walking, swimming, basketball, and or biking.
