3. Jimbo, a 32 year old male, enjoys being outdoors and recently joined an outdoor soccer league! However, he has a severe allergy to pollen. For the past 10 years Jimbo has been taking the same prescription antihistamine medicine. This allergy season was predicted to extremely mild, so Jimbo decided to decrease his dosage of the antihistamine for the last couple of months. Unfortunately, Jimbo has recently been experiencing difficulty breathing, mild hives, and a minor cough. His doctor, that he has been going to for 15 years is stumped, what do you think Jimbo is suffering from? a. Jimbo has decreased his dosage of antihistamine (that blocks histamine receptors), which has caused the receptors to up-regulate. Since he is no longer ingesting the same amount of anti-histamine, this has allowed for histamine to bind instead, resulting in his symptoms. b. Athletic induced asthma has caused bronchoconstriction, thereby giving him a cough. c. Mast cells started hypersecreting once the antihistamine dosage was reduced, and his receptors down regulated. d. Jimbo has contracted a parasitic infection, and his basophils have increased their secretion of heparin, therefore increasing his inflammatory response. e. Jimbo has decreased his dosage of antihistamine (that blocks histamine receptors), to compensate, his body has induced an autonomic response causing his airways to constrict, blood flow to increase(causing hives) and the decrease secretion of mucus.

7. Patient comes in to the hospital complaining of increased heart rate, shakiness, and jitters. Patients states he has taken a workout supplement not knowing that it inhibits the activity of phosphodiesterase. Explain why the patient still has an increase in heart rate hours after his workout. a. Inhibiting cAMP phosphodieterase results in high levels of cAMP remaining inside the cytosol of the pacemaker cells after his workout, which would continue to augment funny Sodium channels and T-type Calcium channels. b. Beta 1 receptors on the plasma membrane of the cells will increase the rate of epinephrine binding when a supplement inhibits the activity of cAMP phosphodiesterase. c. The inhibition of phosphodiesterase causes the G Protein to constantly activate adenylate cyclase which causes high amounts of cAMP to be produced. This would cause a constant release of calcium from the SR, increasing cross bridging and contractility, resulting in an increased heart rate. d. Inhibition of phosphodiesterase increases cAMP concentrations in motor neurons which will increase the rate of actions potentials being sent to the heart, thus increasing heart rate. e. Inactivity of phosphodiesterase causes high levels of cAMP in the blood and causes agglutination which thickens the blood and requires the heart to pump harder to give tissues adequate blood supply.

23. Stiles has accidentally touched deadly kanima toxin while cleaning. It has absorbed through his skin and within a few minutes has temporarily paralyzed him, he cannot move from the neck down. The toxin works as an antagonist against Acetylcholine. He is still breathing and his heart is beating. He has discomfort in his stomach. Why is he having these reactions in his heart, stomach, and skeletal muscle? a. In the skeletal muscle, inhibiting ACh from binding to muscarinic cholinergic receptors stops end plate potentials being sent down the sarcolemma. Cross bridge cycling cannot occur therefore the muscle cannot contract. In the heart, inhibiting ACh from binding to muscarinic cholinergic receptors on the myocardium blocks cardiac muscle contraction. In the stomach, inhibiting ACh will affect the nicotinic cholinergic receptors from producing slow wave potentials in the submucosal plexus, causing discomfort. b. An antagonist for ACh would bind to nicotinic cholinergic receptors on motor end plates of the skeletal muscle, blocking end plate potentials and resulting in paralysis. An antagonist for ACh would affect muscarinic cholinergic receptors on the nodal cells, blocking the normal effect of Ach, which is to lower heart rate by augmenting K-channels and inhibiting T-type Ca-channels. In the stomach, an antagonist for ACh would block muscarinic receptors in the submucosal plexus, blocking increases in secretion; in the myenteric plexus, it would block muscarinic receptors that stimulate contraction of the smooth muscle of the muscularis externa, blocking increases in peristalsis and segmentation. Because food is not being digested as efficiently and is moving more slowly through the digestive tract, discomfort occurs. c. The inhibition of ACh affects the nicotinic cAMP second messenger system that controls skeletal and smooth muscle contraction. Disrupting this system will lead to paralysis and inhibit contraction of the smooth muscle in the GI tract. Since the second messenger system doesn't affect cardiac muscle, the heart will still be able to contract properly. d.The antagonist for ACh binds to adrenergic receptors on the motor end plates of the skeletal muscle, blocking postsynaptic potentials causing paralysis. The same antagonist also binds to nicotinic cholinergic receptors located on the ventricular myocardium causing an increase in contractile force that results in a higher heart rate. Inhibiting ACh will affect the sodium and potassium concentration gradients in the epithelial cells lining the GI tract. Changing these gradients affects how effectively solutes can cross the apical membrane, and inhibiting the proper movement of solutes will lead to discomfort in the stomach. e. If ACh cannot bind to muscarinic cholinergic receptors on the SA nodal cells of the heart, then the heart rate increases due to the cAMP second messenger system augmenting Na-funny channels and T-type calcium channels causing the pacemaker potential to occur quicker. ACh can also affect the force of contraction of the heart: if there are high levels of ACh bound to muscarinic cholinergic receptors in the ventricular muscle wall then the force of contraction is increased. If ACh cannot bind to muscarinic cholinergic receptors in the skeletal muscle than cross bridge cycling cannot occur and therefore the muscles cannot contract. ACh must also bind to nicotinic cholinergic receptors in the stomach for food to be properly digested.

31. Bumble Ling recently decided to begin growing and canning her own asparagus to eat over Christmas break. Unfortunately, however, she forgot to sterilize the containers she used to can her asparagus, and Clostridium Botulinum, the bacteria that produce botulinum toxin, survived the canning process and subsequently proliferated in Bumble Ling's home-canned asparagus. After devouring her first can of asparagus, Bumble Ling began displaying characteristic symptoms of botulism poisoning and her friends quickly drove her to the nearest emergency room. Based specifically on the knowledge that botulinum toxin prevents acetylcholine release from neurons in the parasympathetic nervous system, what might some of her symptoms include? a. Bumble Ling should not be showing any symptoms of botulism poisoning because botulinum toxin has no negative effects on humans, as evidenced by the popular use of Botox in cosmetic procedures. b. One of Bumble Ling's symptoms would include dry mouth because parasympathetic stimulation of the salivary gland increases production of saliva for digestive purposes, inhibition of this process would result in dry mouth. c. Bumble Ling would have a stomachache because of the inability of acetylcholine to bind to alpha-1 receptors in the smooth muscle of her gut. Subsequently, this would result in the inability to convert PIP3 to IP3 or DAG, which would inhibit smooth muscle contraction in the gut causing her stomachache. d. Bumble Ling would have died within minutes of eating her canned asparagus because the ventricular myocardium of the heart relies on the release of acetylcholine from the parasympathetic nervous system to continue contracting. e. One of Bumble Ling's symptoms would be severely dilated pupils because parasympathetic innervation of the radial muscle layer of the iris causes constriction of the pupils. Since this process is inhibited by the inability of Bumble's parasympathetic neurons to release acetylcholine her pupils would become dilated.

So, Sally feels weaker do to her muscle fibers not contracting with normal strength. b. Since Sally cannot perform the normal pathway for ATP synthesis, her body is going to lactic acid fermentation in order to produce ATP. With the buildup of lactic acid, her body begins to convert it to ketones. Since Sally feels weak she is now showing signs of ketoacidosis do to the buildup of the acid in her blood stream. c. Sally's ingestion of the drug has caused Aplastic Anemia. Aplastic Anemia is caused by the lack of NADH and FADH2 production, which affects the levels of ATP present in Sally's bone marrow. d. Preventing oxidative phosphorylation will affect NADH and FADH2. Since NADH and FADH2 are used to make ATP, less ATP being made would explain why Sally feels weak. e.
