answer these physiology questions
You must put the question and the answer under it. No plagiarism at all, everything must be in your own words. Please make sure to pay attention to the questions with explanations underneath them carefully, they will help you answer the questions better.
1) Compare the long-loop negative feedback for the anterior pituitary hormones to the negative feedback loops for insulin and parathyroid hormone.
2) Explain the three most common types of endocrine pathologies.
Explain questions require you to detail how something works (or in the case of pathologies, doesn’t work).I like to begin by writing a paragraph to identify and briefly describe the pathologies.I then generally explain what happens when each pathology is present. This typically takes 2-3 paragraphs.
Make sure you clearly
identify hyposecretion, hypersecretion, and abnormal tissue responsiveness as the three general type of endocrine pathologies.
explain how each general endocrine pathology affects the cellular response and regulating mechanism of the hormone.
list an example of each general type of endocrine pathology.
Some general concepts related to this question are hypersecretion, hyposecretion, abnormal tissue responsiveness, receptor abnormalities, signal transduction, down-regulation, mutation, atrophy, adenoma, and negative feedback.
3) Discuss how the concept of cell-to-cell communication as it applies to the endocrine system.
You need to begin your response with a paragraph summarizing your understanding of the general core concept of cell-to-cell communication.1) Cells synthesize and release chemical messengers.2)The chemical nature of the messenger limits transport of the chemical messenger.3)The messenger must bind to a receptor protein on or in its target cell to produce a response.4)Binding of the messenger molecule to its receptor may give rise to signal transduction.5)Binding of the messenger molecule to its receptor alters cell function. and 6) Termination of a messenger signal is accomplished in several ways.In the remaining part of your answer, you need to clearly relate the core concept to the specific situation (The endocrine system in this question.)
Your answer then needs to clearly
identify the general chemical messengers of the endocrine system.
show you understand how the general chemical nature of the messengers affects the transport of the messengers in the endocrine system.
identify general receptor protein of the target cell.
identify the general cell functions which may be altered by the messengers of the endocrine system.
show you understand how the general messenger signal is terminated in the endocrine system.
Some general concepts related to this question are hormones, neurohormones, endocrine tissue, transport hormone, membrane receptors, cytoplasmic receptors, nuclear receptors, first and second messengers, lipophilic and lipophobic, and signal transduction.
4) Discuss how the concept of cell-to-cell communication as it applies to the nervous system.
5) Explain how Ohm’s law relates to our Core Concept of flow-down gradients.
You need to begin your response with a paragraph summarizing your understanding of the general core concept of flow-down gradients:1)Flow is the movement of stuff from one point in the system to another point in the system.2)Flow occurs because of the existence of an energy gradient between the two points.3)The magnitude of the flow is a direct function of the magnitude of the energy gradient that is present.4)More than one gradient can determine the magnitude and direction of the flow. and 5) There is resistance to flow in all systems.In the remaining part of your answer, you need to clearly relate the core concept to the specific situation (Ohm’s law in this question.)
You need to clearly identify the flow in Ohm’s law.
You need to clearly
identify the energy gradient in Ohm’s law.
identify the resistance in Ohm’s law.
Some key concepts relating to this question are voltage, current, resistance, concentration and electrical gradients, conduction, and ions.
6) Compare graded and action potentials.
Compare questions require examples of how the concepts are similar and how they are different.I like to begin by stating a key similarity.I do this by asking myself “How are these two concepts related?or Why are these two concepts talked about at the same time?” I then use that as the topic sentence for my first paragraph. I then have 1-2 paragraphs where I organize and present similarities and differences.
Make sure you clearly
demonstrate you understand the concepts of graded and action potentials.
demonstrate you understand the basic concepts of potentials.
include how graded and action potentials are similar.
include how graded and action potentials are different.
Some key concepts associated with these terms are resting membrane potential, depolarization, hyperpolarization, gated-ion channels, trigger zone, summation, and the “all-or-none” principle.
7) Discuss the role of Na and K channels in generating an action potential.
8) Explain how antagonistic control is a hallmark of the autonomic nervous system.
9) Compare the anatomy and chemical communication of the somatic motor, parasympathetic, and sympathetic divisions.
10) Explain the molecular events of the sarcomere which result in contraction.
