Question A patient has a rare disorder in which tumors of the adrenal medulla are over-secreting catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine) into the blood. "Normal" refers to the person without these tumors. Answer the following questions for this patient. 1. What is the patient's resting HR compared to "normal"? Explain your answer at the level discussed in lecture. Be sure to include the location and type(s) of receptors, cell type(s), and any channels that are involved in the change. 100 words max 2. What is the patient's resting SV compared to “normal"? Explain your answer at the level discussed in lecture. Be sure to include the location and type(s) of receptors, cell type(s), and major proteins and processes that are involved in the change. 185 words max 3. What is the patient's resting TPR compared to “normal"? Explain your answer at the level discussed in lecture. Be sure to include the location and type(s) of receptors, cell type(s), and processes that are involved in the change. 110 words max
