A

The secretion rate of TSH declines

19
Q

Insulin increases the uptake of _______ by its target cells.

A

glucose

20
Q

True or False?
The autonomic nervous system has 2 neurons in series; the first neuron of the series (preganglionic neuron) has cell body in the CNS; the second neuron (postganglionic neuron) has cell body in the autonomic ganglia.

A

False

21
Q

Which of the following does not relate to somatic nervous system but is true of the sympathetic nervous system?
A. Neurotransmitter is Ach
B. Axons are myelinated
C. effectors are muscles
D. It has motor neurons located in the ganglia chain

A

D. It has motor neurons located in the ganglia chain

22
Q

Endocrine gland that is derived from the same embryonic tissue as the autonomic ganglia, and secretes its neurohormone in response to sympathetic nerve stimulation.

A

Adrenal Medulla

23
Q

True or False

Motor neurons which innervate skeletal muscle originate from the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system.

A

False

24
Q

True or false?
The ANS is the motor division of the PNS, and the levels of activity in the ANS are controlled by centres in the brain stem that regulate visceral organ functions.

A

False

25
Q

______ cholinergic recptors are present in the plasma membrane of smooth muscles, cardiac muscle and sweat gland.

A

Muscarinic

26
Q

Adrenergic receptors bind ______.

A

Both NE and E.

27
Q

A cholinergic neuron secretes _______.

A

Ach - acetylcholine

28
Q

True or False?
The PaSNS has a ganglion chain which links all the neurons in order to produce simultaneous response in many effectors (organs)

A

False - SNS

29
Q

Which of the following is expected if the sympathetic division of the ANS is activated?

a. secretion of watery saliva increases
b. dilation of respiratory passages increase
c. bladder contraction increases
d. glucose release by the liver decrease

A

b. dilation of respiratory passages increase

30
Q

A pt has tachycardia. Would you recommend a drug that prolongs or shortens the plateau of the cardiac muscle cell AP? (hint: recall the shape of AP in cardiac muscle)

A

I would recommend a drug that prolongs the plateau of cardiac muscle cell ATP to make cardiac muscle contract stronger and stabilize the rate of contraction.

31
Q

What is the mechanism by which muscles get an immediate supply of ATP for muscle contraction activities?

A

Direct phosphorylation.
- The mechanism that involves the use of enzyme creatine kinase.
!!! Creatine Phosphate + ADP = Creatine + ATP.
- These are also soon exhausted(less than 15 sec)

32
Q

Transmission of nerve impulses along the ANS pathways are generally slower than along somatic nervous system. Why?

A

The somatic nervous system has more nerves and is generally responsible for vital organ operation.

33
Q

What type of interaction occurs when insulin lowers blood glucose levels while glucagon elevates blood glucose levels?

A

Antagonism.
- Glucagon and insulin are antagonistic hormones because they have opposing physiological actions on blood glucose levels.

34
Q

Suppose a person takes a high dose of glucocorticoid hormone over an extended period of time, list 3 significant hormonal changes that could be detected by a blood hormone analysis.

A
  1. Increased BS levels
  2. Low WBC count esp. those involved in the inflammatory response.
  3. Increased amino acid and lactic acid levels
  4. negative calcium balance due to reduced intestinal calcium absorption
35
Q

When a persons thyroid gland is completely removed, signs of decreased thyroid hormone concentration don’t appear until one week later. Why?

A

Because the thyroid hormones are still in the system. Even though the thing that produces the hormones are gone, the hormones it has already produced are still in your body until they get depleted.

36
Q

Explain the terms first messenger and second messenger as pertain to classes of hormones.

A

There are two classes of hormones. The steroid and the non-steroid hormones. The steroid hormones uses 1st messenger mechanism which means it goes directly inside the cell in which the cell receptor resides to alter cell’s DNA to produce proteins.
- Meanwhile, the second messenger mechanism means the first messenger cannot go into the cell, so the “non-steroid hormones” sends a message to cAMP (second messenger) to activate protein inside the cell to do the job.

37
Q

While injuring his back lifting a sofa, Climan Cortez exhibits a positive Babinski reflex. What does this imply about Cortez’s injury?

A

A positive Babinski reflex is when the toes fan out (extend) after a firm scraping of the sole of the foot, from the heel to right below the toes.
- Means there is an abnormality within the central nervous system.

38
Q

While out walking, Kanteri suddenly confronted by an angry dog. What physiologic changes would occur as she turns and run from the animal?

A

She would experience a sympathetic response. . Her heart rate and BP would increase, her pupils would dilate, Epinephrine is released, respiratory passages dilate, increased sweat secretions, digestive functions slow down allowing for more energy to be used for muscle activity.

39
Q

Graphs with labels to show the diff in AP in plasma membranes of skeletal muscles and cardiac muscles.

A

Skeletal muscles = vertical line is mV lower number is -85 upper is +30. Patusok ung line then ung AP nasa 3/4 malapit na sa point.

Cardiac muscle = vertical line is mV lower number is -90 upper is +30. AP half nung line na diretso papuntang peak.. Pagdating ng peak, parang slope na un line. Curves ung line unline skeletal muscles!

Horizontal line is time! tas meron lagi value na 0 sa vertical, malapit sa upper number!
