Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

Rationale 1: Sympathomimetics, or adrenergic agents, have actions similar to activation of the sympathetic nervous system. They will produce responses characteristic of the fight-or-flight response (accelerated heart rate, palpitations, constricted blood vessels, and raised blood pressure).
Rationale 2: Adrenergic blockers and parasympathomimetic s are associated with the rest-and-digest response (slowed heart rate, decreased blood pressure, increased intestinal and gland activity, and relaxed sphincter muscles).
Rationale 3: Histamines contribute to an inflammatory response and constrict smooth muscle.
Rationale 4: Adrenergic blockers and parasympathomimetic s are associated with the rest-and-digest response (slowed heart rate, decreased blood pressure, increased intestinal and gland activity, and relaxed sphincter muscles).

Global Rationale: Sympathomimetics, or adrenergic agents, have actions similar to activation of the sympathetic nervous system. They will produce responses characteristic of the fight-or-flight response (accelerated heart rate, palpitations, constricted blood vessels, and raised blood pressure). Adrenergic blockers and parasympathomimetic s are associated with the rest-and-digest response (slowed heart rate, decreased blood pressure, increased intestinal and gland activity, and relaxed sphincter muscles). Histamines contribute to an inflammatory response and constrict smooth muscle. Adrenergic blockers and parasympathomimetic s are associated with the rest-and-digest response (slowed heart rate, decreased blood pressure, increased intestinal and gland activity, and relaxed sphincter muscles).

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2

Rationale 1: Parasympathomimetic s stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system.
Rationale 2: Cholinergic agents stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system.
Rationale 3: Adrenergic agents stimulate the sympathetic nervous system.
Rationale 4: Sympathomimetics stimulate the sympathetic nervous system.
Rationale 5: Sympathomimetics stimulate the sympathetic nervous system.

Global Rationale: Parasympathomimetic s stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system. Cholinergic agents stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system. Adrenergic agents, sympathomimetics, and anticholinergic agents stimulate the sympathetic nervous system.

An identified risk factor for osteoporosis is the intake of excessive amounts of vitamin A. Dietary intake of approximately double the recommended daily amount of vitamin A, by women, has been shown to reduce bone mineral density and increase the chances for hip fractures compared with women who consumed the recommended daily amount (or less) of vitamin A.

For about 100 years, scientists thought that peptic ulcers were caused by stress, spicy food, and alcohol. Later, researchers added stomach acid to the list of causes and began treating ulcers with antacids. Now it is known that peptic ulcers are predominantly caused by Helicobacter pylori, a spiral-shaped bacterium that normally exist in the stomach.
