nonpolar endocrines IF covers short distances, endocrines travel in plasma What is the only type of ligand utilizing plasma binding protein? no! brings it TO the cell uber brings you to the store, not into it T or F? does plasma binding protein bring message into cell? nonpolar ligand + intracellular receptor = message transcription which pathway increases or decreases transcription? metabolize receptors (intracellular receptor, cannot be done with membrane bound how could we stop m...

Function of all muscles correct answers to generate force and movement Skeletal muscles correct answers - voluntary (somatic neurons) - striated - Multi-nucleated - insertion is more distal - antagonistic muscle groups = flexor-extensor pairs - 40% of body weight Cardiac Muscle correct answers - Primarily involuntary - striated and uninucleated - spontaneous electrical activity - altered by autonimc NS and hormones - intercalated disks that connects them - desmosomes (mechanica...

What are the major functions of the GI tract? 1. movement of food 2. secretion of digestive juices and digestion of the food 3. absorption of water, electrolytes, vitamins, and digestive products 4. circulation of blood through the GI organs 5. control of these functions = nervous and hormonal GI hormones vs. paracrines vs. neurocrines HORMONES: -all are peptides -released into blood, then act on distant target cells -ex: gastrin, CCK PARACRINES: -some are peptides (somatostatin), so...

function of muscles correct answers are for body movement, maintenance of posture, respiration, production of body heat, communication, constriction of organs and vessels, heart beat. skeletal muscles correct answers - are primarily voluntary by somatic motor neurons which are multinucleated. It also functions for your respiratory system when it moves air in and out of the body and moves blood back to our heart. MULTINUCLEATED. - are usually attached to bones by tendons, the origin of the mu...

4 principle avenues of communication in the body - 1. gap junctions (cytoplasm to cytoplasm) 2. neurotransmitter (synaptic cleft) 3. paracrines 4. hormones absorption of fats - 1. enter brush border cells through diffusion 2. enter the ER and recombined into triglycerides 3. in the golgi, triglycerides, cholesterol and phospholipids are packaged into protein coated chylomicrons 4. chylomicrons are released by exocytosis and enter lacteal (lymphatic capillary) acromegaly - a pituitary di...
