Dr. Green is studying the role of rods in vision. Dr. Green applies a K+ channel blocker, which inhibits K+ channels, to rods in a Petri dish. Before and after adding the K+ channel blocker, Dr. Green also measures the concentration of neurotransmitters in the media of the Petri dish and the membrane potential of the rods. What does Dr. Green find? (Select all options that apply)

(a) Glutamate secretion decreases after addition of the K+ channel blocker

(b) The membrane of rods depolarizes after addition of the K+ channel blocker

(c) Serotonin secretion increases after addition of the K+ channel blocker

(d) Action potentials are generated in rods after addition of the K+ channel blocker

(e) cGMP secretion increases after addition of the K+ channel blocker

  1. Mr. Ragnor, a 66 year old male, was referred to the department of respiratory diseases at Mount Sighania Hospital with a dry cough accompanied with blood in phlegm over a month. The previous medical history of Mr. Ragnor is uneventful, with the exception of a 40 pack/year history of smoking. Physical examination revealed a rough respiratory murmur in each lung. Laboratory findings were within normal limits, with the exception of prostate special antigen (PSA) at 5.35 ng/ml. Chest CT images revealed an irregular soft-tissue mass with a 9.6 cm maximum diameter, internal uniformity density in the middle-low right lobe close to pulmonary hilum, and a nodular high-density shadow with a 2.5 cm maximum diameter that was a lobulated lesion in the left upper lobe. The patient was positive for metastasis to the mediastinal lymph node. Fiber bronchoscopic biopsy revealed squamous cell carcinoma in the left lobe and SCLC in the right lobe. Additionally, the pharmacogenomic testing revealed mutations in RAS because of which the RAS signaling is ON all the time. Which of the 2 intracellular signaling pathways activated by RAS may promote cell growth and proliferation? Please draw the downstream signaling events involved in the pathways.

Make a chart of ten known STD’s and separate them based on whether they are parasitic, bacterial or viral. Describe symptoms, treatment options and areas of the body affected. Also include statistics with each disease describing how prevalent they are in the sexually active population. Further separate treatable STD’s versus curable STD’s (you can put this in the same chart if you would like).
