Mrs. Thomson is a 78 year-old woman whose doctor recently recommended that she have a DXA

scan in order to determine her bone mineral density. The scan results indicate low bone mineral

density. Mrs. Thompson refuses to take pills or supplements and is, therefore, referred to a

dietitian for nutritional counseling.

a.

With Mrs. Thompson’s diagnosis of osteopenia, intake of which micronutrients will be most

critical components in her nutrition plan?

b.

What physiological role do these micronutrients play that makes them so important for her

nutrition plan?

c.

What foods will be included in her diet plan as good sources of these micronutrients?

d.

What other lifestyle changes can Mrs. Thompson make to try to slow the advancement of

her osteopenia?

Extensive research into the efficacy of maintaining high Vitamin D3 levels has proven that Vitamin D3 is more efficacious at preventing the Flu virus than vaccination.

What properties or responsibilities in physiology/ immunology does Vitamin D3 play?

Ms. Addams is at the oral surgeon to have a simple procedure performed. The surgeon
injected a local anesthetic in the region where the procedure was to occur. After the surgery, Ms.
Addams had the customary numbness associated with the anesthesia. However, the next day,
despite the return of sensation to the area, Ms. Addams found she could not control the blinking
of her left eye and the eye was constantly tearing. Also, the left corner of her mouth lost vertical
dimension (sagged). Fearing a stroke, Ms. Addams reported to the ER where it was determined
that her symptoms were the result of trauma to one of her cranial nerves during the injection of
local anesthetic.

Answer the following questions:

1. What is the Cranial Nerve Damaged?

2. Function of This Nerve

3. How does the cranial nerves damage relate to the patients symptoms?

The same day, another patient arrives at the ER also needing a blood transfusion. The patient has type 0- blood. What are all possible blood types this person can receive? Again, include concepts of blood typing and donor/recipient info to justify your answer. Finally, why are people with type 0- blood medically important?

A. Iva Ertarm is admitted complaining of a numb right arm. When tested, she is unable to feel when her hand and arm are touched lightly, but can still feel a hard pressure. It is determined she must have a lesion or damage within her spinal cord. Which specific pathway is affected (4 pts)? How do you know it is that specific pathway (Apts)? Which side of the spinal cord is the lesion and which funiculus must! the lesion be located (4 pts)? How do you know the specific funiculus and the side (where does it decussate) (4pts)? What is the signal direction within this pathway and what is the final destination of this information (2 pts)? 2 pts for essay formatting, grammar, spelling. Be specific in your answers.

15.  Patients with Clostridium difficile infections have diarrhea and can have severe infections in their peritoneal cavities (peritonitis) and blood (sepsis). The diarrhea and widespread infections result, at least in part, from altered cell adhesions in cells lining the colon.

A.  [2 pts] What type of cells line the colon, and what type of adhesion linking these cells is likely altered in difficile infection?

B.  [4 pts] How could changes to the cell adhesions you listed in part A promote infections in the blood and peritoneal cavity?  Explain your reasoning.

Why is there an inverse relationship of T4 and TSH in hyper and hypo thyroidism? How do the two correlate?

1.) If the resting membrane potential for a cell is stated as being -65 mV, this means: (choose all that apply)

Group of answer choices

- there is a 65 mV potential difference across the plasma membrane

- the intracellular side of the plasma membrane has a negative charge

- the E_K is balanced by a +25 mV E_Na

- the extracellular side of the plasma membrane has an excess of positive charge

- the membrane has an outward flux of chloride ion (Cl^-) of 25mV

2.) Which of the following statements is(are) not true for the extracellular matrix? (choose all that apply)

Group of answer choices

- if a functional entity and is involved in physically joining the extracelluar and intracellular compartments

- is comprised of living material

- provides a platform for cell growth

- is the site where interstitial fluid is located

- is only found in connective tissues

3.) The magnitude of the  (blank, two words) is the driving force for diffusion, yet a molecule will not diffuse across if the plasma membrane is not (blank) to that molecule

4.) If the intracellular chloride ion concentration of a cell is 9 mM and has an extracellular concentration of 125 mM, then the equilibrium potential for chloride ion is ___ mV. (round to the nearest 10th decimal place)

5.) A ___ ___ is observed due to the unequal transport of charge by a transport mechanism that occurs across a plasma membrane.
