Pancreatic beta cells secrete insulin, which inhibits secretion of glucagon from neighboring alpha cells.This action is anexample of whichof the followingsignaling types? a. Paracrine b. Autocrine c. Neurohormonal d. Hormonal ANS: A Paracrinesignaling involves thereleaseof localchemical mediators that arequickly takenup, destroyed, or immobilized, as in the case of insulin and the inhibition of the secretion of glucagon. None of theother options involvesignaling that is associated witha localchemical mediator like insulin. REF:p. 12 9. Incellular metabolism, eachenzyme has a highaffinityfora: a. solute. b. substrate. c. receptor. d. ribosome. ANS: B Eachenzyme has a highaffinity for asubstrate,aspecific substance convertedto a productof the reaction. Cellular metabolism is not dependent on an attraction between an enzyme and any of the remaining options. REF:p. 16 10. Anathleteruns a marathon, after whichhis muscles feel fatiguedandunable tocontract.The athlete asks the nurse why this happened. The nurse’s response is based on the knowledge that the problem is result of a deficiency of: a. GTP b. AMP c. ATP d. GMP ANS: C When ATP isdeficient, impaired musclecontractionresults. Noneof theotheroptionsare involved in muscle contraction. REF:p. 16 11. Whichphase ofcatabolism produces the most ATP? a. Digestion b. Glycolysis c. Oxidation d.

Anaerobicglycolysis d. Oxidativephosphorylation ANS: C Whennooxygenisavailable, anaerobicglycolysis occurs.Theelectron-transportchain is part of the citric acid cycle. Aerobic glycolysis involves the presence of oxygen. Oxidative phosphorylation is the mechanism by which the energy produced from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins is transferred to ATP. It is not part of muscle performance. REF:p. 16 14. A faculty member asks astudent to identifythe appropriate term for the movement ofasolute from an area of greater to lesser concentration.

ANS: B Oncotic pressure is determined by the effect of colloids or plasma proteins. The concentration of sodium plays a role in tonicity. Hydrostatic pressure is the force within a vessel. Membrane transporter proteins are involved in active transport within a concentration gradient. REF:p. 20 17. A patient has abodyfluid of 300 mOsm/kg.This labresult is measuring: a. osmolality. b. osmolarity. c. osmoticpressure. d. oncoticpressure. ANS: A Osmolality measures the number of milliosmoles per kilogram of water, or the concentration of molecules per weight of water, while osmolarity measures the number of milliosmoles per liter of solution, ortheconcentrationof molecules per volumeofsolution. Osmotic pressure is the amount of hydrostatic pressure required to oppose the osmotic movement of water. Oncoticpressure is from plasmaproteins, not bodyfluids. REF:p. 19 18. A nurse is discussing the movement of fluid across the arterial end of capillary membranes into the interstitial fluid surrounding the capillary. Which process of fluid movement is the nurse describing? a. Hydrostaticpressure b. Osmosis c. Diffusion d. Activetransport ANS: A Blood reaching the capillary bed has a hydrostatic pressure of 25–30 mm Hg, which is sufficient force to push water across the thin capillary membranes into the interstitial space. Osmosis involves the movement of fluid from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Itdoesnot involve pressureor force. Diffusionis thepassive movement of a solute from an area of higher solute concentration to an area of lower solute concentration. Active transport involves movement up a concentration gradient. REF:p. 19 19. How arepotassium and sodium transportedacross plasma membranes? a. Bypassive electrolyte channels b. Bycoupled channels c. Byadenosinetriphosphateenzyme (ATPase) d. Bydiffusion ANS: C The transporter protein ATPase is directly related to sodium and potassium transport via active transport.Electrolyte movements requireenergyanddo not movepassively,norare they transported bydiffusion. Enzymes, not electrolytes, are passed via coupled channels. REF:p. 21 20.
