respiration and diabetes (schmidt)

Question 1

agonist (mimetic drug)

Answer 1

binding to a receptor, stimulation of a cellular response

Question 2

antagonist (lytic drugs)

Answer 2

binding to a receptor, no cellular response, blocking of agonist effect

Question 3

partial agonist

Answer 3

partial antagonist

Question 4

diaphragm

Answer 4

skeletal muscle

Question 5

inspiration

Answer 5

scalene and sternocleidomastoid muscles, external intercostals and diaphragm

Question 6

expiration

Answer 6

internal intercostals, abdominal muscles

Question 7

carotid and aortic chemoreceptors

Answer 7

can measure the co2, o2 and pH levels

Question 8

chemoreceptors

Answer 8

low pO2 is measured, making potassium channels close so calcium flows in and forces the vesicles to release its content

Question 9

alveoli

Answer 9

surrounded by blood vessels and cells that do gas exchange

Question 10

bronchial asthma

Answer 10

permanent inflammation of the lung, smooth muscle cells are highly sensitive ACh making the lung hyperactive

Question 11

what does the insulin receptor activate

Answer 11

activates tyrosine kinase

Question 12

tyrosine kinase

Answer 12

phosphorylates tirosine residues in proteins

Question 13

glut 4

Answer 13

takes up glucose, decreasing blood glucose and brings ATP into the cell

Question 14

gilbenclamide

Answer 14

a sulfonylurea derivative is a treatment for diabetes. potassium channels opening creates a potential for insulin secretion
