Answer:

The correct answer to the question: Downward slippage of the humeral head when relaxed may indicate an injury to the:_____ muscle, would be: the supraspinatus muscle.

Explanation:

The supraspinatus muscle, along with other major muscles, like the deltoid, help to provide stability to the shoulder joint and prevent the humeral head of the arm, from detaching from the glenoid cavity at the shoulder joint. Particularly during abduction of the arm, the supraspinatus muscle will adhere the head of the humerus towards the glenoid cavity, and prevent the bone from naturally falling away in a downward motion, from the cavity. When there is a lession to this muscle, there tends to be dislocation of the shoulder joint.

If you were working for a pharmaceutical company as part of a drug discovery team, which of these enzyme inhibitors would you su

mart [117]

Answer:

Option A, a drug to treat high blood pressure that reversibly inhibits an enzyme catalyzing production of a chemical that causes blood vessels to contract

Explanation:

The complete question is

If you were working for a pharmaceutical company as part of a drug discovery team, which of these enzyme inhibitors would you suggest as a productive avenue for drug development?

a) a drug to treat high blood pressure that reversibly inhibits an enzyme catalyzing production of a chemical that causes blood vessels to contract

b) a drug to treat diabetes that irreversibly inhibits an enzyme in the metabolic pathway to synthesize glucose

c) a compound that acts as a competitive inhibitor for a digestive enzyme produced only in the presence of certain foods

d) a compound that inhibits enzymes by significantly changing the ph throughout the body

Solution

Productive avenue of a drug simply means producing an drug that not only treats the main disease or disorder but also functions to inhibit the causative agent activity. In case of option A, both the objectives of producing drug are met and hence it is the right choice.

High blood pressure usually affects the blood vessels by narrowing them and in severe cases may rupture them. If a drug as stated in option A is produced, it will not only rectify the effects of high blood pressure but will also prevent the blood vessels from narrowing by inhibiting the activity of enzymes responsible for producing chemical that leads to blood vessel contraction.

Hence, option A is correct
