Oxygen is transferred from alveolar gas into the blood via simple diffusion across the epithelial layers that line the lungs and the adjoining capillaries.The rate of diffusion, J = D (C1-C2)/X.D = diffusion coefficient, C = concentration, X = the distance between the two concentrations.If, as the result of lung cancer, the total thickness of these layers doubles AND the combined diffusion co-efficient for these layers halves, the rate at which oxygen will diffuse from alveolar gas into the blood will be:

The K+/Na+ ATP pump system is a coupled transport system in which the dephosphorylation of ATP provides the energy that enables both Na+ and K+ to be transported across the cell membrane against their electrochemical gradients.This transport system is an example of:

Mary, a 25-year old woman from Bethel, AK, presents at your clinic with high blood pressure.  Her records indicate that her blood pressure has been elevated for a prolonged period.  A physical exam reveals symptoms that are consistent with hypercortisolism (chronic elevated cortisol levels).You order a blood test and discover that the concentrations of Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) and Cortisol in Mary’s blood are BOTH unusually high.Of the following, which is the most likely explanation for Mary’s symptoms?
