Go to Stress Related Disorders powerpoint

Based on what you read and observed in the previous case study, address the following questions in the body of your essay:

What were the main findings of Mr. Penzey's physical exam? How could his CT results be related to his blood pressure findings?

Define the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

What did the laboratory results suggest about his overall kidney function? Are there additional tests that could help you arrive at a diagnosis for Mr. Penzey's condition?

How did the EKG and blood pressure results indicate damage was occurring to Mr. Penzey's circulatory system?

What did the genetic results suggest about Mr. Penzey's condition? The mutation on the agarose gel showed the presence of a chimeric 11-β-hyroxylase gene which caused an overproduction of the enzyme aldosterone synthase. How is this enzyme involved in the function of ACTH, aldosterone and cortisol? How do these hormones affect the homeostasis of blood pressure?

What do you think his condition might be?

Answer each question using complete sentences that relate back to the question. Be sure to include a reference section at the end of your assignment that lists the sources that you were required to read and any additional resources you used to research your answers.
