What is Myasthenia Gravis?
What are the 4 mechanisms for cell communication?
Whats the difference between direct and paracrine contact?
What are the two types of signalling that can occur in cell communication?
Give one example of endocrine and synaptic signalling which occurs in cell communication:
What two components are required in cell communication?
What two types of ligands are there
Understand the difference between water and lipid soluble ligands
What events occur when a thyroid hormone binds to receptors on nucleus?
What are G protein coupled receptors?
Describe the components in cell signalling
Descibe in 3 steps the signalling pathway occuring in receptor channels
What are receptor KINASES?
What do typical signal molecules form?
What can amplify cell responses?
Give an example of how cell responses are amplified by secondary messengers:
What same thing can different receptors produce?
How can receptor subtypes lead to different effects in different cells?
