a.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The number of variables present in the graph.

Introduction: The parathyroid hormone is located on the dorsal surface of the thyroid gland. The main function of parathyroid hormone is to elevate the concentration of Ca2+ in the plasma. To achieve this increase, parathyroid hormones act on the kidney, bones, and intestine.

b.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The ways in which the results of the study can be explained.

Introduction: The parathyroid hormone increases the reabsorption of calcium in the distal part of the nephron in each kidney. It enhances the intestinal absorption of calcium via its action on vitamin D3.

c.

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether supplements of multivitamins affect the results.

Introduction: The hormone 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol increases the intestinal absorption of calcium. This hormone is also known as vitamin D3 or calcitriol. The body synthesizes calcitriol from vitamin D that has been acquired through diet or formed in the skin through the action of sunlight.

Diazepam is used as a skeletal muscle relaxant and as a sedative administered before surgery, as well as a treatment for anxiety. For children above the age of 6 months who suffer from anxiety disorders, diazepam is administered at a reduced dosage. Suppose a child with a body surface area (BSA) of 0.8 m2 is to receive a dose of diazepam divided into three administrations. Using the BSA rule and assuming that an adult dose of diazepam is 12 mg, what are the daily dose and the dose per administration? mg

For this exercise, an electron micrograph of secretory cells of the anterior pituitary is being used (Sandborn, E.B. (1970) Cells and Tissues by Light and Electron Microscopy, New York, New York: Academic Press, Inc.). The image originally measured 18.7 cm wide and 18.5 cm high with a magnification of 5200x. Given the width of the original micrograph at 18.7cm, what is the true width of unmagnified image? Show calculations.
