Remember that glycolysis does not require oxygen. The process does not make a lot of ATP, only 2 ATP molecules are made for every glucose molecule broken down. Just like your muscle cells when they are oxygen starved, red blood cells then use lactic acid fermentation to allow glycolysis to
This causes the anterior pituitary gland to produce and secrete a hormone (adrenocorticotropic hormone) that travels through the circulatory system. When the hormone reaches the adrenal cortex it binds to a cell-surface receptor, which signals the synthesis and release of cortisol. Answer B: A tropic hormone stimulates the synthesis and secretion of a hormone by another endocrine gland. The releasing hormone secreted by the hypothalamus stimulates the release of a hormone by the anterior pituitary, so it is a tropic hormone. The hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary stimulates the secretion of a hormone by the adrenal cortex, so it is also a tropic hormone.
The muscles interact in a cycle that begins with the myosin head attached to an actin fragment. The movement cannot happen until a nerve impulse releases magnesium ions which then bind to tropomyosin. Tropomyosin is a blocker protein that which blocks the interaction of actin and myosin. When magnesium binds to this protein it changes the shape of it and allows the reaction to proceed. Once
They tend to enlarge following vigorous exercise, a phenomenon called muscular hypertrophy and are located around the body. Conversely, cardiac muscle is confined only to the heart, its main role being to distribute blood. Its myogenic nature means contractions are under involuntary control and cause prevention from fatigue. The natural beating rhythm is adjusted via sympathetic and parasympathetic neurons of the CNS to suit physiological conditions. The function of these muscles is closely related to their structure and any differences in structure allow these two types of muscle to be identified.
1.) List and briefly explain the meaning of each of the following characteristics of muscle tissue; extensibility, elasticity, excitability, and contractility. Extensibility: The ability for muscle tissue to stretch. Elasticity: The ability of muscle to return to its normal resting size after being stretched. Excitability: The ability of muscle tissue to receive a stimulus from the nervous system.
When creatine is consumed it travels through out the body to the muscles. Creatine attracts water to the muscles which causes the muscles to get leaner. Not only is creatine used by athletes and body builders to strengthens the muscles it is used by patients with medical diseases in hospitals. Creatine has been treated as it has been suggested as a complementary treatment for conditions in which muscle weakness occurs, such as muscular dystrophy, congestive heart failure, Huntington's disease, McArdle's disease (also called glycogen storage disease type V), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, Parkinson's disease and after injury or surgery according to about.com. Possible side effects that creatine monohydrate has on the human body after consuming the liquid is stomach cramps, muscle cramps, weight gain, loss of appetite diarrhea and nausea.
The smaller waves represent the contraction of the atria. During which portion of the cardiac muscle contraction is it possible to induce an extrasystole? You correctly answered: d. during relaxation
The glucose that the liver usually converts from the lactic acid is no longer available and cannot be redistributed for more ATP. 4) Imagine all your smooth and cardiac muscle was suddenly under voluntary control only. Describe one positive and one negative aspect this would have for you for one body system. If my smooth and
We can use the same principal we used for the first experiment, Manganese dioxide is not a protein, not an enzyme, it is a catalyst. Due to this, no products are formed, and just as we anticipated, the reaction rate was given a 0. 3. The 3rd experiment is a mixture of 2 mL H2O2 and liver. In this situation, both the substrate (H2O2) and the enzyme (catalase) are present, and
1. Neurotransmitters are released from the pre-synaptic membrane in response to an impulse. 2. They cross the synaptic cleft and attach to post-synaptic receptors. 3.
