61
Q

____is that they can respond to external stimuli and fuse with the plasma membrane, releasing their contents outside of the cell.

62
Q

folding of secretory proteins occurs in the

A

rough endoplasmic reticulum.

63
Q

Wnt proteins are a family of secretory proteins with isoelectric points around 9, implying that they are

A

positively charged at physiological pH.

64
Q

monosynaptic: afferent/sensory neuron and efferent/motor neuron. this is done by the ____ nervous system, despite synapsing in the spinal cord. -

A

peripheral (not parasympathetic) - ex. knee-jerk reaction. when a doctor hits your patella tendon, the afferent neuron registers a stretching motion, goes to the spinal cord where the efferent neuron will tell that same muscle to contract further and/or tell the antagonist muscle to relax/inhibit contraction (called reciprocal inhibition)

65
Q

polysynaptic: afferent neuron, interneuron(s), and an efferent (which is made up of a preganglionic and postganglionic neuron). this is when ______is required, meaning it will use both the _______. interneurons is the main thing that differentiates the two because using the CNS requires them.

A

cognition , peripheral NS and the CNS. - withdrawal reflex. imagine you put your hand on a hot stove. the afferent neurons will tell your brain that something is being damaged, which will then tell your arm to remove itself from the harm. it requires your brain understanding nociception (pain), or else nothing would happen and your hand would just burn off. there’s no antagonistic system to automatically get you to remove your hand, like there is in the knee jerk.

66
Q

examples of permanent reflexs - need for survival

A

breathing, swalloing, eye blink, pupillary

67
Q

example of neonatal reflexes - babinski, rooting and moro, tonic neck, galent

A

bab - toe fan out, big toe is ip, dis b4 1
moro - startle, arms out - 4-6m
rooting - stroke cheek and turn there - weeks,
tonic neck: one arm bend, one strauight
galent: stroke back and move

68
Q

digoxin will block the

A

Na/K pump and the Na/Ca pump but caclium will still flow in causing positive inotropic effect

69
Q

Okay, so the monosodium phosphate (NaH2PO4) has an additional H+ compared to the disodium phosphate (Na2HPO4), which has one less H+ since there are two Na+. This makes the monosodium the acid for this problem. You can solve this from this point in one of two ways: 1) Intuition: Monosodium phosphate is the acid in this case and will decrease the pH if more is added 2) pH = pKa + log (base/acid). If you increase acid, you have a smaller log value which decreases the pH

A
70
Q

what action to contribute to the positve inotropic effect

A

dec transport of Ca to extracelluar

  • ketone bodies - also made in liver from fat
82
Q

Hypoxia diminishes ___utilization by downregulating protein translation and the

A

ATP , and activity of the Na-K-ATPase.

83
Q

so imprinted genes is basically you express one allele in a parent specific way. Meaning that before development, you get 2 alleles from parents for 1 gene. Now one of these allele is methylated, so it is off before you even develop. Hence every cell in your body will express the nonmethylated allele for that gene, hence parent specific.

for example, Gene X has 2 alelles A and B. So you get allele A from mom, and allele B from dad. But Dad’s is methylated to turned off it will never transcribe. So the only allele that is expressed is allele A which is maternal. So you will have paternal ___ and maternal .

imprinting, expressivity
