21
Q

What is the consequence of the binding of insulin-like growth factor to its receptor?

a. Production of DAG
b. Generation of cAMP
c. Activation of TK

A

c. Activation of TK

22
Q

Acetylcholine binds to which of the following potassium-dependent channel?

a. Purinergic
b. Adrenergic
c. Muscarinic
d. Nictonic

A

c. Muscarinic

23
Q

Why is the concentration of Na+ in the plasma slightly higher than ISF?

A

Proteins have a negative charge and can’t pass through the capillary wall so they will attract the positive charge (donan effect)

Whooping Cough

25
Q

Give an example of a type of transcription factor?
