Answer to Question 1

c

Answer to Question 2

Osmotic thirst is caused by an increased concentration of solutes in the extracellular fluid, either by increased salt intake, or water loss. Osmotic thirst is detected by neurons in the OVLT that cause increased release of vasopressin (which decreases urine output and raises blood pressure) and increased activity in the LPO to initiate drinking, preferably of pure water.

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).
