1what does calcium bind to start contractions in a muscle?? troponin or tropomyosin..
2.what is responsible for increasing glucose concentration?? glucagon?
3. In a emergency situation(sympathetic NS) uses _______??? Epinephrine right?

1. calcium binds troponin protein located on tropomyosin.

2. glucagon will increase blood glucose concentration

 

[utdent20]

glucagon increases blood glucose, what about, cortisol(acc to destroyer) cortisol and epinephrine will do the same.. do you agree?

 

[tranv117]

cortisol will increase gluconeogeneis and glycogen breakdown. So in a sense, it will increase blood glucose

not sure what you mean by emergency for question number 3. Yes, sympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomic "fight of flight" NS. In the sympathetic NS, there is a pre and postganglionic nerve fiber. The preganglionic fiber secretes ACh neurotransmitter while the post ganglionic fiber will secrete norepinephrine to the proper effector muscles, ie. heart.

wow that was a good detailed explanation...thank you!

mmmmmmm..... i thought
sympathethic (fight or flight) - post ganglonic
parasympa (Acetylcholine)- pre ganglionic neuron

In both systems, there is a post and preganglionic nerve fiber. PNS only uses ACh neurotransmitter while SNS uses both ACh and norepinephrine

You must really good at Human physio. 🙂 I always confused at that subject. I will ask you when it comes up.

i only wish i was half as good as some people here on SDN. hah, I highly recommend MCAT review material for the sciences, I found that it helps much more on the conceptual understanding stuff then any other DAT prep stuff I've seen/used so far.
