Question
the herbal supplements bitter orange, also known as synephrine, mimics the effects of neurotransmitters on the SNS on the heart and blood vessels serving the abdominal viscera and skin. what effect do you think this would have on the blood pressure? Considering this, do you think this drug should be given to people with hypertension (high blood pressure)?

- Activation of α-adrenergic receptors in vascular smooth muscle stimulates (vasodilation or vasoconstriction). Give an example of an organ system where this occurs.arrow_forwardF2 over the arrow connecting these variables. The slope of this relationship is 0.225 mmHg/(L/min). In the absence of the drug, Xor's blood pressure would drop as low as 70 mmHg. As the blood pressure falls to 70 mm Hg, how much drug should we administer to restore the blood pressure to 105 mmH? To answer this question, assume the following conditions: 1. the drug directly affects the rate of blood flow from the heart (L/min), 2. the drug has no effect at dosages below 41 g and has a linear effect on the rate of blood flow at dosages above 41 g. The slope of this linear effect is 2.91 (L/min) / g of drug, and 3. the drug must increase the rate of blood flow enough to increase the blood pressure from 70 mm Hg to 105 mmHg, and 4. the slope of the linear relationship between the rate of blood flow from the heart and the blood pressure in megaraffes is 0.225 mmHg/(L/min). Our goal is to determine the dosage of the drug needed to increase the blood pressure by 35 mmHg.

- Your client, Claire, is performing an exercise stress test. During a blood pressure reading, you hear 260/120 mmHg. To be certain, you reassess it and hear 250/120 mmHg. Claire then describes a pain in her chest getting worse. Is it safe to continue the test, and why? Group of answer choices Yes; safe BP reading Yes; appropriate emergency equipment is available No; relative contraindications No; absolute contraindication(s)arrow_forwardYou are working in the hospital today and you have to give ECG stress tests to two different patients. One patient is a renowned professional athlete (such as a football or basketball player) who has a physical workout 6 days a week. Another patient is obese and elderly with Type II diabetes mellitus not under control. This patient also has a sedentary lifestyle. What would you expect to see in each of their electrocardiograms before and after each stress test? Would there possibly be any differences in the results of their electrocardiogram?arrow_forwardDrugs known as calcium channel blockers prevent Ca++ movement through Ca++ channels. Explain two ways that this action can lower blood pressure. Why are neurons and other cells unaffected by these drugs?arrow_forward
- A patient you are monitoring has been on Telmisartan (Cozaar), an angiotensin receptor blocker for managing their hypertension. The drug must be metabolized by CYP2C9 or CYP3A4 from a 5-methanol to a 5-carboxylic acid to exhibit its effects. After 2 years of successful therapy, their blood pressure suddenly increases. Why might this occur, and what would you suggest as a substitute?arrow_forwardNorepinephrine acts on heart muscle cells by: Group of answer choices blocking the action of calcium. increasing heart contractility. causing a decrease in stroke volume. causing threshold to be reached more quickly. more than one of the above.arrow_forwardDescribe the mechanism of action of intravenous injection of epinephrine or norepinephrine.

- richard thompson is a 35 year old male whose blood pressure was consistently tested at approximately 145/100 mmHg despite following a low-sodium diet, omitting alcohol, and beginning an exercise program. He has no symptoms related to this elevated blood pressure. He has a history of asthma. Which of the receptor antagonists might be useful for treating his hepertension without worsening his asthma?arrow_forwardThe autonomic nervous system can change the rate of the heart by: can choose more than one Group of answer choices - beta1 adrenergic receptor activation. Increases in cAMP lead to increased amounts of Na+ influx (though If channels) and Ca2+ influx of the pacemaker cells. This increases the frequency of APs of the pacemaker, and increases the rate of contraction. - alpha1 adrenergic receptor activation. - muscarinic ACh receptors activation. Activation leads to reduced activity of Ca2+ channels, and increasing activation of K+ channels, hyperpolarizing cells and reducing the rate of contraction. - beta2 adrenergic receptor activation. Increases in cAMP lead to increased amounts of Na+ influx (though If channels) and Ca2+ influx of the pacemaker cells. This increases the frequency of APs of the pacemaker, and increases the rate of contraction.arrow_forwardMrs. Johnson came into your clinic complaining of fatigue, feeling cold all the time, and unexplained weight gain. A blood test gives the following results (normal ranges given for comparison): T3: 0.03ng/dl (normal: 0.2-0.5 ng/dl) T4: 1.1 ug/dl (normal: 4-7 ug/dl) TSH: 86 mU/l (normal: 0.3-4.0 mU/l) A) Explain how you know the problem is with Mrs. Johnson’s thyroid and not her pituitary gland.
