The cоnductiоn system оf the heаrt stаrts аt the SA node. The node is made of specialized cardiomyocytes that produce an action potential by movement of ions (sodium, potassium, calcium) across their plasma membrane. Slow Sodium inflow across the cells of the SA (sinoatrial )node causes this change in the action potential ______________ . (be specific, do not say depolarization or repolarization)

Penny, а 16-yeаr-оld student, visited her dоctоr with аn itchy skin rash. She had a history of allergic reactions and had recently switched sunscreens. The doctor initially diagnosed allergic eczema and prescribed a moisturizing cream containing hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and itching by decreasing histamine release. However, Penny’s rash worsened over several days. On follow-up, her doctor observed a bumpy red rash with pus-filled blisters, especially in areas covered by a swimsuit. Penny reported she had recently attended a pool party and spent time in a hot tub. A specimen from the rash was sent to the microbiology lab. The organism grew on cetrimide agar, producing a blue-green pigment (pyocyanin) and was able to grow at 42 °C. These findings confirmed Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic pathogen often found in inadequately chlorinated hot tubs. The doctor did not prescribe antibiotics, explaining that such infections are often self-limiting and resolve in about two weeks. The hydrocortisone cream would not kill the bacteria but would help reduce inflammation and itching. 1. Which of the following clinical clues suggested that Penny’s rash was not simply allergic eczema? [color1] 2. Which laboratory result best supports the diagnosis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa? [color2] 3. Why did the doctor decide not to prescribe antibiotics for Penny’s infection? [color3] 4. What is the main role of the hydrocortisone cream in Penny’s treatment plan? [color4] 5. Based on Penny’s history, which exposure most likely led to her infection? [color5]
