1.Which of the following characterizes a relative polycythemia? There may be more than one answer. Select one or more: a. A type of polycythemia that promotes erythropoiesis; therefore, increases the number of circulating erythrocytes above normal. b. A type of polycythemia that does not promote erythropoiesis but increases the number of circulating erythrocytes above normal. c. Hypovolemic shock d. Anemia e. High altitude
2.What is TRUE about diabetes? There may be more than one answer. Select one or more: a. Type I diabetes mellitus is insulin deficiency while Type II diabetes mellitus is insulin-resistant diabetes. b. Exercise and weight loss are therapies for both Type I and Type II diabetes mellitus. c. Diabetes insipidus is due to lack of anti-diuretic hormone that results in large production of "flat" urine. d. During fasting, a diabetic patient has a plasma glucose of 65-70mg/dL. e. Type I diabetes mellitus is a juvenile-onset diabetes that develops during childhood. f. Type I and Type II diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus will result in abnormally elevated blood glucose concentrations and will affect blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nervous system. g. Type I diabetes accounts for 90% of all cases of diabetes while Type II diabetes accounts for 10%. h. Insulin injection is a therapy for Type I diabetes mellitus. Type I promotes the production of ketone bodies and promote the production of "sweet" urine.
Ans 1 Relative Polycythemia
b. A type of polycythemia that does not promote erythropoiesis but increases the number of circulating erythrocytes above normal.
c. Hypovolemic shock ---> It causes loss of plasma which lead to relative polycythemia
----> True Polycythemia -- A type of polycythemia that promotes erythropoiesis; therefore, increases the number of
circulating erythrocytes above normal. Example is high altitude.
-----> In Anaemia due to decreased RBC mass and haemoglobin there is decreased haematocrit
Ans 2
a. Type I diabetes mellitus is insulin deficiency while Type II diabetes mellitus is insulin-resistant diabetes.
c. Diabetes insipidus is due to lack of anti-diuretic hormone that results in large production of "flat" urine.
e. Type I diabetes mellitus is a juvenile-onset diabetes that develops during childhood.
h. Insulin injection is a therapy for Type I diabetes mellitus. Type I promotes the production of ketone bodies and
promote the production of "sweet" urine.
---> Exercise and weight loss are therapies for type II diabetes mellitus, As it decreases insulin resistance
---> During fasting, a diabetic patient has a plasma glucose of > 125 mg/dl .
---> Type II diabetes is more commom than Type I diabetes.
---> Type I and Type II diabetes mellitus will result in abnormally elevated blood glucose concentrations and will
affect blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nervous system.
----> Diabetes insipidus does not elevate blood sugar
