Increase in potassium concentration in the extracellular fluid stimulates ___, which then stimulates secretion of K into the collecting duct via aldosterone stimulation of Na-K ATPase pumps in the cortical collecting duct cells.
- A.
Renin
- B.
Angiotensin II
- C.
Aldosterone
- D.
Insulin
Correct Answer
B. Angiotensin IIExplanation
An increase in potassium concentration in the extracellular fluid stimulates the release of renin. Renin then acts on angiotensinogen to produce angiotensin I, which is converted to angiotensin II by the enzyme ACE. Angiotensin II stimulates the secretion of aldosterone. Aldosterone, in turn, acts on the Na-K ATPase pumps in the cortical collecting duct cells to increase the reabsorption of sodium and the secretion of potassium into the collecting duct. Therefore, the correct answer is angiotensin II.Rate this question:

Hydrogen secreted in the proximal tubule in exchange for sodium combines with ___ to form carbonic acid.
- A.
Bicarbonate
- B.
Carbonic anhydrase
- C.
Uric acid
- D.
Calcium
Correct Answer
A. BicarbonateExplanation
Hydrogen ions are secreted in the proximal tubule in exchange for sodium ions. These hydrogen ions then combine with bicarbonate ions to form carbonic acid. Carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme that catalyzes this reaction, facilitating the formation of carbonic acid. Uric acid and calcium are not directly involved in this process. Therefore, the correct answer is bicarbonate.Rate this question:

What percentage of cardiac output is renal blood flow (RBF)?
- A.
100%
- B.
75%
- C.
50%
- D.
25%
Correct Answer
D. 25%Explanation
Renal blood flow (RBF) refers to the volume of blood that passes through the kidneys per unit of time. The correct answer is 25% because approximately 25% of the cardiac output, which is the total volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute, is directed towards the kidneys. This is necessary for the kidneys to perform their vital functions of filtering waste products and regulating fluid and electrolyte balance in the body.Rate this question:

What class of drugs dilate efferent arterioles and produce a decrease in GFR, thereby reducing hyperfiltration and the occurrence of diabetic nephropathy in diabetes mellitus?
- A.
ARB (Angiotensin Receptor Blockers)
- B.
ACE inhibitors (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme)
- C.
Calcium-channel blockers
- D.
Renin Inhibitors
Correct Answer
B. ACE inhibitors (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme)Explanation
ACE inhibitors (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme) dilate efferent arterioles and produce a decrease in GFR, thereby reducing hyperfiltration and the occurrence of diabetic nephropathy in diabetes mellitus. These drugs work by inhibiting the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, which is a potent vasoconstrictor. By blocking the production of angiotensin II, ACE inhibitors help to relax and widen the efferent arterioles, reducing the pressure in the glomerulus and decreasing hyperfiltration. This can help to protect the kidneys from damage and slow the progression of diabetic nephropathy.Rate this question:

Which of the following is a trigger for the RAAS to function?
- A.
Dec Na+
- B.
Dec Ca2+
- C.
Inc blood pressure
- D.
Inc blood volume
Correct Answer
A. Dec Na+Explanation
A decrease in sodium levels (Dec Na+) is a trigger for the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) to function. When sodium levels in the body decrease, it signals the release of renin, an enzyme that initiates a cascade of reactions leading to the production of angiotensin II. Angiotensin II causes vasoconstriction and stimulates the release of aldosterone, which promotes sodium reabsorption in the kidneys. This mechanism helps to restore sodium balance and regulate blood pressure.Rate this question:

A motion in which the net motion of a moving body move toward the same direction although the path follows a curved line.
- A.
Linear
- B.
Curvilinear
- C.
Curved
- D.
Inverse
Correct Answer
B. CurvilinearExplanation
A curvilinear motion refers to the movement of a body in which the net motion is in the same direction, even though the path followed by the body is curved. This means that the body is moving in a curved trajectory, but its overall direction of motion remains consistent. This is different from linear motion, where the path followed by the body is a straight line. In curvilinear motion, the body may be subject to forces that cause it to deviate from a straight path, but the net motion remains in the same direction.Rate this question:

- A.
1st class
- B.
2nd class
- C.
3rd class
- D.
4th clas
Correct Answer
A. 1st classExplanation
In a first-class lever, the fulcrum is located between the weight and the effort. This means that the load or weight is on one side of the fulcrum, and the effort or force is applied on the other side of the fulcrum. When the effort is applied, it causes the lever to rotate around the fulcrum, resulting in the movement or displacement of the load. This type of lever is commonly seen in tools like scissors or pliers, where the fulcrum is located at the joint and the effort applied by squeezing the handles causes the load to be cut or gripped.Rate this question:

A patient presents with an LOM towards ankle inversion of the midtarsal joint. As a PT/OT who is knowledgeable of the concavo-convex rule, you should mobilize this peripheral joint into which motion to alleviate the LOM?
- A.
Lateral glide
- B.
Medial glide
- C.
Superior glide
- D.
Inferior glide
Correct Answer
A. Lateral glideExplanation
In this case, the patient is experiencing limited range of motion (LOM) towards ankle inversion of the midtarsal joint. According to the concavo-convex rule, which states that convex joint surfaces glide in the opposite direction of the joint motion, mobilizing the joint with a lateral glide would help alleviate the LOM. By applying a lateral glide, the therapist would be encouraging the convex joint surfaces to glide in the opposite direction of ankle inversion, thus promoting improved range of motion and reducing the patient's symptoms.Rate this question:

A patient who had total knee arthroplasty was assessed to have LOM towards knee flexion. You included in your treatment plan the mobilization of the tibiofemoral and patellofemoral joints. You should mobilize the joints in which direction/s to increase knee flexion ROM?
- A.
PF joint: superior glide; TF joint: anterior glide
- B.
PF joint: lateral glide; TF joint: posterior glide
- C.
PF joint: inferior glide; TF joint: anterior glide
- D.
PF joint: inferior glide; TF joint: posterior glide
Correct Answer
D. PF joint: inferior glide; TF joint: posterior glideExplanation
To increase knee flexion range of motion (ROM), mobilization of the patellofemoral (PF) joint should be done with an inferior glide, while mobilization of the tibiofemoral (TF) joint should be done with a posterior glide. This combination of mobilizations helps to improve the alignment and movement of the knee joint, allowing for increased flexion. By applying an inferior glide to the PF joint, the patella is encouraged to move downward, creating more space for flexion. Simultaneously, a posterior glide on the TF joint helps to promote posterior translation of the tibia, further facilitating knee flexion.Rate this question:

A patient was found to have adhesive capsulitis. Knowing the disease mechanism and its pathophysiology, you should mobilize the shoulder joint into which direction?
- A.
Anterior glide
- B.
Posterior glide
- C.
Lateral glide
- D.
Medial glide
Correct Answer
A. Anterior glideExplanation
Adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder, is characterized by inflammation and thickening of the shoulder joint capsule, leading to limited range of motion. To mobilize the shoulder joint and improve the range of motion, the shoulder should be mobilized in the direction of an anterior glide. This helps to stretch the tightened joint capsule and restore movement. Mobilizing the shoulder joint in other directions, such as posterior, lateral, or medial glides, may not be as effective in addressing the specific pathology of adhesive capsulitis.Rate this question:

What will happen to an individual who had an acute hemorrhage?
- A.
The individual will probably die due to renal failure
- B.
The individual will probably die due to multiple organ failure
- C.
The individual will probably die due to hypoxia
- D.
The individual will probably die due to myocardial infarction
Correct Answer
A. The individual will probably die due to renal failureExplanation
An acute hemorrhage refers to a sudden and severe loss of blood. This can lead to a decrease in blood volume, which can result in decreased blood flow to the kidneys. When the kidneys do not receive enough blood, they may not be able to filter waste products effectively, leading to renal failure. Renal failure can cause a buildup of toxins in the body, leading to organ dysfunction and ultimately death. Therefore, it is likely that the individual will die due to renal failure.Rate this question:

- D.
AOTA
Correct Answer
B. The baroreceptor reflex will sense a decrease in arterial pressure sending signals to the CNS to go into sympathetic mode and increase HR and contractility to compensate for the decreased cardiac output.Explanation
When a patient sustains a stab wound and bleeds profusely, it leads to a decrease in blood pressure and blood volume. In order to prevent the individual from dying, the baroreceptor reflex comes into play. The baroreceptors sense the decrease in arterial pressure and send signals to the central nervous system (CNS) to activate the sympathetic mode. This activation results in an increase in heart rate (HR) and contractility to compensate for the decreased cardiac output. By increasing HR and contractility, the body tries to maintain an adequate blood flow to vital organs and prevent further complications.Rate this question:

ACE inhibitors:
- A.
Inhibits completion of RAAS and decreases blood pressure
- B.
Inhibits completion of RAAS and increases blood pressure
- C.
Stimulates RAAS and decreases blood pressure
- D.
Stimulates RAAS and increases blood pressure
Correct Answer
A. Inhibits completion of RAAS and decreases blood pressureExplanation
ACE inhibitors work by inhibiting the completion of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS). The RAAS is a hormone system that regulates blood pressure and fluid balance in the body. By inhibiting the RAAS, ACE inhibitors prevent the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor, and also reduce the secretion of aldosterone, a hormone that promotes water and sodium retention. This leads to vasodilation and decreased blood volume, ultimately resulting in a decrease in blood pressure.Rate this question:

Passive insufficiency:
- A.
Stretched on the origin, stretched on the insertion
- B.
Stretched on the origin, contracted on the insertion
- C.
Contracted on the origin, stretched on the insertion
- D.
Contracted on the origin, contracted on the insertion
Correct Answer
A. Stretched on the origin, stretched on the insertionExplanation
Passive insufficiency refers to the inability of a muscle to stretch fully across both its origin and insertion simultaneously. In this case, the correct answer "stretched on the origin, stretched on the insertion" indicates that the muscle is stretched and lengthened both at its origin (the point where it attaches to a stationary bone) and insertion (the point where it attaches to a movable bone). This suggests that the muscle is not limited in its ability to stretch and can fully extend across both points.Rate this question:

- C.
Contracted on origin, stretched on insertion
- D.
Contracted on both origin and insertion
Correct Answer
D. Contracted on both origin and insertionExplanation
The correct answer is "contracted on both origin and insertion". This means that the muscle is shortened or contracted at both its origin (the point where it attaches to a stationary bone) and its insertion (the point where it attaches to a movable bone). When a muscle is contracted on both ends, it is unable to generate as much force as it would if it were at its optimal length. This phenomenon is known as active insufficiency.Rate this question:

An individual in the gym is observed to be performing very low repetitions of triceps resistance training (with shoulder extension and elbow extensions) despite his body build. This is due to:
- A.
The passive insufficiency of the triceps
- B.
The active insufficiency of the triceps
- C.
The passive insufficiency of the biceps
- D.
The active insufficiency of the triceps
Correct Answer
B. The active insufficiency of the tricepsExplanation
The individual is observed to be performing very low repetitions of triceps resistance training despite his body build. This suggests that the triceps muscle is unable to generate enough force to perform the exercise effectively. The active insufficiency of the triceps occurs when the muscle becomes shortened and is unable to generate optimal force due to its length-tension relationship. In this case, the individual's triceps may be reaching a shortened position during the exercise, limiting its ability to contract and generate force efficiently.Rate this question:

- D.
NOTA
Correct Answer
A. Active insufficiencyExplanation
Active insufficiency refers to a state where a muscle is unable to generate enough tension or force due to being shortened to its maximum extent across two joints. In this case, to isolate the supinator muscle, the biceps femoris, which is a muscle that crosses both the knee and hip joints, should be put into active insufficiency. This means that the biceps femoris should be shortened across both joints to limit its ability to generate force, allowing the supinator muscle to be isolated and targeted effectively.Rate this question:

The passive insufficiency of the hamstrings muscle is:
- A.
Hip extension and knee extension
- B.
Hip flexion and knee flexion
- C.
Hip extension and knee flexion
- D.
Hip flexion and knee extension
Correct Answer
D. Hip flexion and knee extensionExplanation
The passive insufficiency of the hamstrings muscle refers to its inability to stretch fully when both the hip is flexed and the knee is extended. This means that when the hip is flexed (bent forward) and the knee is extended (straightened), the hamstrings muscle cannot lengthen fully. This limitation in flexibility can affect movements such as reaching down to touch the toes with straight legs, as the hamstrings are unable to stretch adequately in this position.Rate this question:
