BIOL 1201 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Thromboxane A2, Vasospasm, Cardiac Muscle
Document Summary
Biology clicker questions 5: when a platelet contacts a damaged blood vessel, it is stimulated to release thromboxane. Thromboxane a2 in turn stimulates vascular spasm and attracts additional platelets to the injured site. Non-polar molecules: the signal molecule leptin is 16,000 da protein. The cell membrane: assuming there are 100 different cell signaling compounds in your body. 100 million: when epinephrine binds to cardiac muscle cells, it speeds their contraction. When it binds to muscle cells of the small intestine, it inhibits their contraction. No (third bar in image above: will b flower? (b is third bar above) yes. B and d: maintain constant levels of 3. Glucagon release increases: type 1 diabetes occurs when the pancreas stops producing insulin, type 2 occurs when your cells no longer respond to insulin, both results in uncontrollable blood glucose levels. Based on the data below choose the most likely diagnosis for the patient 1.
