Explain how the sympathetic nervous system acts to directly regulate stroke volume. Include a detailed description of the mechanism (include the target cells, the proteins, signaling molecules, ions, and changes in membrane pontial where appropriate). What effect does this have on cardiac output. This will take about half a page to describe.

In a study women were identified who had been diagnosed with Cervical Cancer through the Cancer Registry. Women with skin cancer were used as controls. The study then received past medical histories on HPV status, which was collected through an outstanding health department. (And they somehow had access to these records and could link them.)
Calculation B
Cervical Cancer Cases   Controls (No Cervical Cancer)   Total
HPV 1200 9800 11,000
No HPV 400 7600 8,000
1,600 17,400 19,000

1. What type of study is this?
a. cross-sectional
b. case report/series
c. ecologic
d. case-control
e. cohort
f. clinical trial
g. community intervention

2. What is the most appropriate measure of association?
a. odd ratio
b. relative risk
c. Attributable risk
d. none of these

3. Calculate the measure of association (use two decimal places).

4. How would you best describe the relationship between the exposure and the outcome?
a. no relationship
b. positive relationship
c. negative relationship

5. If appropriate, calculate the attributable risk per 1000 people (use 2 decimal places).

How does the renal and endocrine system play a role in getting tissues oxygenated? Or in other words, how does the renal and endocrine system help maintain homeostasis through the oxygenation of tissues? Consider how tissue oxygenation goes up or down and how each system makes/contributes to a change that helps maintain homeostasis.

Thanks in advance!
