Russell is 72 years old and is still working part-time as a professor. He has noticed some arm and hand shaking in the past year

, but assumed it must be related to low or high blood sugar levels because he has had some issues with that in the past. However, the shaking/twitching has become more consistent lately and does not seem to be correlated with his diet. Russell's doctor said that the stress of his job could be the problem, so he took the entire summer off from teaching.
When he returned to work in the fall, Russell and his students noticed that his handwriting has become nearly illegible. Drinking a cup of coffee without spilling had also become a challenge. Russell returned to his doctor, who performed a physical exam and a few tests. Here are the notable results: shuffling gait, mild bradykinesia, mild voice tremor, intermittent rigidity of the limbs, and normal EEG.
If Russell is having symptoms in his upper extremities, lower extremities, and his speech is slurred, which of the following body regions is most likely experiencing a pathology?

a. Brain and spinal cord
b. Cranial nerves
c. Peripheral nerves
d. Spinal nerves

Explain how and why drinking water affects:<br> (A) Blood plasma<br> (B) Blood plasma osmolarity
Oxana [17]

Answer:

(A) - The volume of the blood plasma increases on overhydration and decreaes on dehydration.

(B) - Osmolality of blood increases with the dehydration and decreases with the overhydration.

Explanation:

If the levels of drinking water is increased, then the plasma becomes more dilute and the plasma volume increases because <u>the water will be reabsorbed more and which as a result reduces plasma concentration of the solutes and increases volume of plasma.</u>

Plasma osmolality measures electrolyte-water balance of the body. <u>As mentioned, above on overhydration, the plasma concentration of the solutes decraeses which also decreases osmolality. So, Osmolality of blood increases with the dehydration and decreases with the overhydration. </u>Increased osmolality in blood stimulate the secretion of antidiuretic hormone which results in the increased water reabsorption and therefore, more concentrated urine and hence blood plasma with less concentration.
