The graph showing depolarization of every cardiac muscle cell in the body OTHER than SA Node muscle cells has a plateau. Draw that graph from your notes (draw with a pen, please) and then explain why the plateau exists and what effect(s) the plateau has on contraction of the heart musculature. You may hand draw any diagrams you use, but type your explanation. 10 points for a perfect answer.

Muscle and liver have different roles in the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism. For example, in the fight‑or‑flight response, muscle responds to epinephrine by modulating glucose pathways to achieve rapid ATPATP production. In contrast, in conditions where blood glucose levels fall, liver responds to glucagon by producing glucose for export into the bloodstream. Using the metabolic map as a resource, locate the glucose pathways on the map. Which pathways are stimulated in muscle by epinephrine? glycolysis gluconeogenesis glycogenolysis glycogen synthesis Which...

Muscle cells involved in aerobic metabolism have longer endurance and have greater force generating capacity than muscles involved in anaerobic metabolism. b. Muscle cells involved in aerobic metabolism have longer endurance but have smaller muscle mass than muscles involved in anaerobic metabolism. c.
