Which of the following is a possibleconsequence of snoring?

a) hypotension

b) excitability

c) heart disease

d) airway obstruction

Molly is a 75yr old widow who lives alone. For 2 days she had a fever and chills and mainly stayed in bed. On rising to go to the bathroom, she felt dizzy, fainted, and fell to the floor. Molly quickly regained consciousness and managed to call her son, who took her to the emergency room, where a physical diagnosed orthostatic hypotension.
Orthostasis literally means " to stand"
and hypotension refers to low blood pressure; thus, orthostatic hypotension is a significant drop in blood pressure upon standing. when a person moves from lying down to standing, blood "pools" within the veins below the heart because of gravity, and less blood returns to the heart. Consequently, blood pressure drops because the heart has less blood to pump.
Predict -Although orthostatic hypotension has many causes, in the elderly it can be due to age related decrease in neural and cardiovascular responses. Decreased fluid intake while feeling I'll and sweating due to a fever can result in dehydration. Good
Dehydration can decrease blood volume and lower pressure, increasing the likelihood of orthostatic hypotension.

1 Describe the normal response to a decrease in blood pressure on standing?

2 what happened to Molly heart rate just before she fainted? why did Molly faint?

3 How did Molly's fainting and falling to the floor help establish homeostasis ( assuming she was not injured)?

II. Take the following theoretical biochemical pathway (eacharrow represents an enzyme and therefore a gene):


A -> B -> C -> D ->->-> E

Normal metabolism of the amino acid is from A to E, with otherpathways possible as depicted. However, a number of mutations havebeen discovered in the pathways from A to E that can lead todisease conditions. For example, an excess of G leads to hair loss,an excess of F leads to hearing loss, an excess of A leads toslurred speech, an excess of C leads to obesity, and an excess of Hleads to high blood pressure.


Where is/are the mutations that would result in a person havingobesity and hair loss?

Where is/are the mutations that would result in a person havinghearing loss only?

Where is/are the mutations that would result in a person slurredspeech and hearing loss?

Is it possible for someone to have obesity and high bloodpressure in this model above (explain why or why not indetail)?

Could a person have mild forms of all of these symptoms at thesame time? If so (or not), explain why
