D) Assume the asthma patient has a chronic disease form of asthma. At the cellular level, which cells are now likely to have migrated into the lung tissue? (4pts) Name 2 types:
E) What factors do the cells named in part D secrete that may lead to air sac damage or damage to the elasticity of the lung tissue? (2pts) Name 2 factors:
F) The patient is now treated with NUCALA (Mepolizumab) for the asthma that they have. What exactly does NUCALA do to lessen the disease? Focus on which cells it may alter the behavior of and how it works. (2pts)
G) The patient also is prescribed Advair. Focusing on the immune system altering component of Advair, fluticasone, what class of drug is it and what does it do at a general level? (2pts)

Respiratory Case Histories - Case 13
A 150 lb., 62-year-old man had a chronic productive cough, exertional dyspnea, mild cyanosis, and marked slowing of forced expiration. His pulmonary function and laboratory tests follow:
Frequency | 16 breaths/min |
Alveolar ventilation | 4.2 L/min |
Vital capacity (VC) | 2.2 L |
Functional residual capacity (FRC) | 4.0 L |
Total lung capacity (TLC) | 5.2 L |
Maximum inspiratory flow rate | 250 L/min |
Maximum expiratory flow rate | 20 L/min |
PaO2 | 62 mm Hg |
PaCO2 | 39 mm Hg |
Pulmonary function tests after bronchodilator therapy:
Frequency | 16 breaths/min |
Alveolar ventilation | 4.35 L/min |
VC | 2.4 L |
FRC | 4.0 L |
TLC | 5.2 L |
Maximum inspiratory flow rate | 250 L/min |
Maximum expiratory flow rate | 23 L/min |
PaO2 | 62 mm Hg |
PaCO2 | 38 mm Hg |
1. What is the disorder of this 62-year-old man?
2. Is this primarily a restrictive or an obstructive disorder? Why?
3. Why is the bronchodilator therapy ineffective in this man?
4. What causes the hypoxemia?
6. What is the cause of this altered RV?
7. Calculate the tidal volume (TV) for this person before and
after the bronchodilator therapy.
8. Is each TV normal or altered?
9. Calculate the minute ventilation (MV) for this person before and after the bronchodilator therapy.
10. Is each MV normal or altered?

Describe an upper body movement or injury by using anatomical terms to describe the movement and musculature involved. Must identify all movements that occur in the upper body and the plane of motion in which the movements occur. Must also identify five muscles involved in completing the movement and identify the primary action of each participating muscle.

Select ALL of the following which are TRUE about the parasympathetic nervous system (hint- there are 4):
Group of answer choices
parasympathetic influence causes blood vessels to constrict
preganglionic axons are generally longer than post-ganglionic axons
preganglionic axons emerge from thoracic and lumbar nerves
preganglionic axons secrete Ach; post-ganglionic axons secrete NE
preganglionic neurons emerge from cranial and sacral nerves
both preganglionic and post-ganglionic axons secrete Ach
parasympathetic influence causes an increase in digestive motility and secretions

Twenty-eight kindergarten children and seven adults visited a raw milk bottling plant, where they were given ice cream and unpasteurized milk. Three to six days later, nine children and three adults developed gastroenteritis. The only other foods eaten by all of the children (ill and well) were in the school-provided lunches. No one else in the school became sick. Stool cultures showed one bacterium in common to nine of the ill children and not present in samples from any of the other children. This bacterium is a curved gramnegative rod, and it is unable to metabolize glucose.
1. What microorganism is responsible for causing the gastroenteritis? Are there any risk factors or complications associated with this illness?
2. Why is this microorganism the most likely cause?
3. What patient history or other symptoms should you look for or ask about during the patient exam?
4. What medical tests are required to diagnose this disease?
5. What would be your prescribed treatment regimen?
