  3. Carbon dioxide
  4. Blood pH

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Baroreceptors sense and relay changes in blood pressure. Chemoreceptors recognize levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pH levels.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Doxazosin (Cardura) is selective for blocking alpha1-receptors in vascular smooth muscle, which results in dilation of arteries and veins. Excreting more urine is an effect of diuretic medications. Increasing the efficiency of the heart is not an effect of doxazosin (Cardura). Decreasing the release of stress hormones is not an effect of doxazosin (Cardura).

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).
