Students have asked these similar questions
Mrs. Jackson, who suffers from seizures, has been stable on a phenytoin dose of 300 mg q.d. (qd
or QD) for over a year. However, she has recently been experiencing periods of heartburn. When
you ask her more about this, you find there are no red-flag symptoms. She has tried OTC antacids
in the past, but did not like them. Instead, she has seen Nexium tablets advertised and wants to
know if they would be suitable. Is this an appropriate choice of OTC treatment? Explain in detail
and based on scientific reasoning.
Define natriuretic peptides and adrenomedullin.
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) are:
A) Heart secreted hormones with different actions.
B) Cerebrum secreted hormones with different actions.C) Cerebrum & heart secreted hormones with similar actions.D) Heart only secreted hormones with similar actions.
E) Cerebrum secreted hormones with different actions.

This hormone, when present, induces expression of water transport proteins (aquaporins) in the late distal tubule and collecting duct of the kidney to increase water reabsorption. Binding to the receptor triggers an intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (CAMP) pathway. Arrange the following steps of hormone signalling in the proper order by putting 1, 2, 3, etc in the space provided, CAMP activates CAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). Recruitment of inactive G-protein made of heterotrimeric subunits which has GDP bound to a-subunit. Conformation change in GPCR. Adenylyl cyclase converts ATP into CAMP. PKA phosphorylates proteins in the cell. A cellular response is seen in the cell. a-subunit with GTP bound activates adenylyl cyclase.
