Question 1
What are oropharynx receptors, which hormone do they decrease, and how is it known that they exist? If a person stranded on a desert island drank seawater to try to quench his thirst, how would this affect the oropharynx receptors?
Question 2
"Glucose, glucose, everywhere, nor any speck to utilize" is a phrase made up by one of the authors working on this test question. Similar to the irony of not being able to prevent dehydration by drinking seawater, people with untreated diabetes mellitus are unable to prevent starvation even though there is a large amount of glucose surrounding their cells; as if that is not bad enough, dehydration is also a problem. Explain why there is glucose in the urine of such people, why glucose is not present in the urine of normal people, and why diabetics become dehydrated.
