5.terminal sympatheticfibres to adrenal medulla

is the ans 5.(answer given is 4).pls correct me

Yes I receieved reply as ans is 4.Yes correct becos beta 1 receptors excitation(increased heart rate etc.)

the terminal sympathetic fibres to adrenal medulla ,is it not NE?
I am not sure but pls let me know ................its confusing for me .

not sure though,Repeated stimulus (and not high frequency stimulation )coses,more Ca hence from SR hence more tension is generated by the muscle.So golgi tendon organ detect muscle tension and so ans.d.pls correct me

Hi,

for Q.10 is it not pyruvate carboxylase .Phosophofructokinase-2 controls both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis in liver.And also I found this in the net

.) Cortisol Cortisol is a steroid hormone that signals long term stress. The stress could be anxiety, fear, pain, infections, chronic low blood glucose levels. Cortisol is produced by the adrenal cortex. Cortisol acts on muscle, liver and adipose tissue. Cortisol is a slow acting hormone that alters metabolism by changing the expression of the genes of metabolic enzymes. All steroid hormones pass through the cell’s plasmamembrane and the nuclear envelope and bind to nuclear receptors that regulate the expression of specific genes. In the adipose tissue, cortisol stimulates the release of fatty acids from triacylglycerol stores. Cortisol stimulates the breakdown of muscle proteins and increases the rate of the export of amino acids to the liver to be used in gluconeogenesis. Cortisol promotes gluconeogenesis by increasing the cellular concentration of pyruvate carboxylase in the liver tissue.

pls correct me if wrong

Someone pls reply!!!
 
hey dent02.....

acetyl choline receptors are not present in heart....answer is 4,
heart doesnot have chemical synapse...it has electrical synapse,
acetylcholine is present where there is chemical synapses.....
i hope this answers your question...

thank you.I was confussed as NT for adrenal medulla is Norepinephrine,but then it is not (it is Ach).In regard to heart i was sure but for adrenal medulla it was confusing.

Can you pls........... help me with other two more questions regarding

10)Cortisol stimulates synthesis in the liver of
a)glucokinase
b)phosphofructo kinase
c)pyruvate carboxylase
d)pyruvate kinase

Ans.C

1)A tetanic contration results from

a)high freguency stimulation
b)depletion of ATP in a muscle.
c)prestretching a muscle prior to stimulation
d)strong signals from the golgi tendon organ



not sure though,Repeated stimulus (and not high frequency stimulation )coses,more Ca hence from SR hence more tension is generated by the muscle.So golgi tendon organ detect muscle tension and so ans.d.pls correct me.
 
tetany is caused when there is excess of free calcium in the interoir of a muscle.....
so this happens when there are repeated electrical events in comparison to the mechanical events.....muscle is receiving more stimulus for muscle contraction...it will cause more release of free calcium....hence causing tetany.....so answer should be (a )choice...frequency is related to number of stimulus .....so more frequency ,more will be the release of calcium ions...hence causing tetany..
correct me if i am wrong...

correct me if i am wrong...

Can you please let me know your input for the other question tooooo.(Cortisol stimulates.............in the liver..........)

I searched the net ,I feel the answer is more towards pyruvate carboxylase.(Cortisol promotes gluconeogenesis) pls ............let me know if I am correct.If wrong pls let me know the explaination.
Someone help me the with the Cortisol question.pls.......................

thank you
 
i think pyruvate carboxylase is the correct choice.....
if we see the function of cortisol...it promotes gluconeogeneseis...the process of gluconeogenesis is reverse of glycolitic pathway and krebs cycle is also involved....
now there are three irreversible reactions in the cycle of glycolisis ....those are at level of pyruvatekinase, glucokinase and phosphofuuctikinase......
these three are the other choices...so why cortisol will promote the synthesis of such enzymes which are not helpful in glucneogenesis ...answer pyruvate carboxylase comes out to be correct....
