A patient attends her doctor complaining that her fingers feel extremely cold and often go very white in colour, especially in cool conditions or weather when they can become painful or numb. She also notices that, on warming up, her fingers become intensely red in colour for some time before returning to normal. The doctor makes a diagnosis of Raynaud's syndrome. This is a condition in which cutaneous (or skin) arterioles show an excessive tendency to vasoconstrict (or become narrow) especially in cool conditions or weather. Answer the following THREE questions in the box provided. 1. Why might vasconstriction lead to the symptoms described above? [ 4 marks] 2. What nerves are involved in stimulating the vasoconstriction? [2 marks] 3. Based on your answer to question 2, does this suggest a possible treatment for this condition?

Caffeine lowers the heart rate by increasing rates of depolarization at the SA node True False Nicotine raises the heart rate because it stimulates the activity of the sympathetic neurons in medulla oblongata True False The Frank-Starling Law of the Heart states that the force of heart contraction is directly proportional to the initial length of the muscle fiber, within optimal limits of length True False If the sarcomeres stretched beyond the optimal length, the force of contraction would go down, but that can potentially happen only during open heart surgery when the heart is not constrained by the pericardium, lungs, ribs and diaphragm. True False It is the Na+ channel-driven spontaneous depolarization that is affected by sympathetic and parasympathetic inputs to speed up or slow down the firing rate of the SA node and other conductive cells. True False
