A 77-year-old woman was cooking in the kitchen when she collapsed onto the floor. Her daughter called an ambulance and the woman was taken to the emergency room. She had suffered a stroke, and slowly regained consciousness over the next two days. However, when she woke up, she had the following signs and symptoms:
- paralysis of the right face and arm
- loss of sensation to touch on the skin of the right face and
arm
- inability to answer questions but ability to understand what was
said to her
- ability to write down her thoughts more easily than to speak
them

In normal condition during ventricular systole, the left ventricle is the first to begin contracting, but the right ventricle is the first to expel blood. How can you explain this difference? There are two different reasons! And in dilated cardiomyopathy of the left ventricle, the ventricle can become enormously enlarged. Explain why this might lead to regurgitation of blood through the mitral valve (blood flowing from the ventricle back into the left atrium) during ventricular systole.

predict what would happen if the tyrosines in the activation loop of insulin were mutated to phenylalanine
phenylalanines will likely be phosphorylated but insulin recptor will not be activated
phenyalanines cannot be phosphorylated and insulin would not be activated
phenylalanine will likely be phosphorylated and irs 1 will bind and be phosphorylated
phenylalanine cannot be phosphorylated but irs 1 will bind and be phosphorylated

Are excitatory graded potentials depolarizing or hyperpolarizing?
What is the name for graded potentials from different stimuli adding together?
Name what kind of ion channels are open and which direction the ion moves for each part of an action potential.
a. Depolarization Na channels open,
b. Repolarization Na channels open,
c. HyperpolarizationNa channels close,
Can a second action potential be sent during depolarization and the first part of repolarization? Why or why not?

A 66 year-old male presents to the local ER at 6 AM. The patient reports that he has been having severe chest pain since last night before he went to bed. The patient says that he just simply thought that he was having a “bad case of indigestion and gas” after eating a bunch of fatty foods while watching the football with his friends last night. He says he took Pepto Bismol to help ease the pain. The patient says that he woke up around 3 AM this morning with increased upper and mid abdominal pain. He described the pain as “sharp and gnawing” right underneath his rib cage. The patient was immediately brought back to a room from triage. The ER staff was about to do a shift change and so the overnight physician medically screened the patient and ordered a standard set of lab tests. The patient was given a 325 mg aspirin tablet after getting undressed and laying down on the bed. After approximately 15 min after arrival to his room, the patient started writhing in the bed complaining of increased abdominal pain. The patient reported his pain level of 20 on a scale of 1 to 10. The patient’s history is significant for noncompliant hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, moderate obesity, and smoking 1.5pk/d, but had stopped five years ago.
Upon physical examination, the patient was diaphoretic, and had pallor. Strong pulsations were found with light palpation over the middle of the abdomen. With deeper palpation, aortic bruits were detected by auscultation. There was radiation of the pain to the lumber area of the back. The morning physician ordered a series of diagnostic imaging studies to determine if there were any issuescontributing to the patient’s pain within the abdomen. After the imaging studies were completed. The radiologist called the physician on duty and said that patient needed immediate surgery. One of the imaging studies done showed there was a 5.4 cm diameter measurement of the aorta. Arrangement were immediately made to fly the patient to a trauma center for surgery.
