Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
For a given increase in PaCO2 or hydrogen ion concentration, the carotid bodies are less respon-sive than the central chemoreceptors. The peripheral chemoreceptors account for only 20 to 30 of the ventilatory response to hypercapnia.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
High arterial PO2 (hyperoxia) decreases the peripheral chemoreceptors' PCO2 sensitivity to al-most zero.

A cataract is a clouding of the eyes' natural lens. As we age, some clouding of the lens may occur. The first sign of a cataract is usually blurry vision. Although glasses and other visual aids may at first help a person with cataracts, surgery may become inevitable. Cataract surgery is very successful in restoring vision, and it is the most frequently performed surgery in the United States.

In women, pharmacodynamic differences include increased sensitivity to (and increased effectiveness of) beta-blockers, opioids, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, and typical antipsychotics.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
