  3. Increased lipolysis
  4. Destruction of presynaptic nerve terminals

Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: The action of alpha2 receptors is to inhibit release of norepinephrine.
Rationale 2: Alpha2 receptors do not destroy monoamine oxidase.
Rationale 3: Alpha2 receptors do not increase lipolysis.
Rationale 4: Alpha2 receptors do not destroy presynaptic nerve terminals.

Global Rationale: The action of alpha2 receptors is to inhibit release of norepinephrine. Alpha2 receptors do not increase lipolysis or destroy monoamine oxidase or presynaptic nerve terminals.

Answer to Question 2

11,800
Rationale: The normal osmolality of body fluids ranges from 275 to 295 milliosmoles per kilogram (mOsm/kg).
Global Rationale: The normal osmolality of body fluids ranges from 275 to 295 milliosmoles per kilogram (mOsm/kg).
