Terminal ganglia  

Imagine you are a physician. A patient comes to your clinic complaining of excessive weight gain accompanied by "weird" stretch marks on her abdomen. Upon examination you additionally note many bruises and a fat pad on the back of her neck. You suspect elevated cortisol levels are to blame. After reviewing the patients medication list you confirm that she isn't taking medications that would elevate her cortisol level. You order blood tests to determine if cortisol is the culprit and to narrow down the potential sources of the problem.

You patent's blood tests come back. You were right! Her cortisol levels are very high. But Cort isn't the only hormone that is out of balance. You also note very high levels of adrenocorticotripic hormone and very low levels of corticotropin releasing hormone.

Based on these results where is the source of the problem most likely located?

Neuron Anatomy and Resting Membrane

Potential Read the overview and complete the activities that follow.

"A multipolar neuron is composed of a cell body, an axon, and hundreds of dendrites. Each neuron receives numerous inputs at the receptive region, which includes both the dendrites and cell body. Neurons send signals down the axon toward the synaptic knob. Resting neurons require a membrane potential in order to send or receive electrical signals. A typical neuronal resting membrane potential is -70 mV, indicating that the inside of the plasma membrane is more negative relative to the outside. The resting membrane potential is established by the Na+/K+ pump and by the sodium and potassium leakage channels. The leakage channels allow for ions to diffuse down their electrochemical gradients, while the Na+/K+ pump moves ions against their gradients. The Na+/K+ pump establishes the K+ and Na+ gradients, which drive the diffusion of these ions through leakage channels. Although both Na+ and K+ diffusion play a role in establishing the resting membrane potential, K+ diffusion is more important."

Question 1: Normally, Na⁺ and K⁺ leakage channels differ because

A. Na⁺ leakage channels are voltage-gated, while K⁺ leakage channels are ligand-gated.

B. Na⁺ leakage channels require ATP to transport ions, while K⁺ leakage channels do not.

C. Na⁺ leakage channels always remain open, while K⁺ leakage channels must be specifically activated to open.

D. Na⁺ ions diffuse through leakage channels into the cell, while K⁺ ions diffuse through leakage channels out of the cell.

Question 2: A resting membrane potential of -70 mV indicates that the:

A. charges lining the inside of the plasma membrane are negative compared to the charges lining the outside.

B. negative ions are only present within the cytosol and are lacking in the extracellular fluid.

C. positive ions outnumber the negative ions within the cytosol.

D. negative ions will always move into a cell.

11. Repeated exposure to hot environments when combined with exercise improves exercise capacity, with less discomfort upon subsequent heat exposure. One thing that changes is that a person begins sweating sooner and they sweat more (nearly double). Sweating sooner represents what type of change?

a) decreased threshold

b) increased threshold

c) decreased set point.

d) increased set point

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12.Which statement(s) about control strategies is/are incorrect? Choose any that apply.

a) An advantage of a feedforward system is that it allows the body to anticipate a change, or prepare for something to happen.

b) A disadvantage of a feedforward system is it doesn’t allow you to respond to an unexpected change.

c) An advantage of a positive feedback system is allows for rapid changes to a regulated variable.

d) A disadvantage of a positive feedback system is that it is not homeostatic. e) A disadvantage of a negative feedback system is it requires some outside event to stop the response.

f) All of the above are correct.

15. An 18-year-old girl presents with a lack of secondary sexual characteristics, such as age-appropriate pubic hair growth and breast development. Her history reveals she has never started menses. She is diagnosed with a deficiency. The levels of various steroid hormones in her serum are found to be abnormal. Which of the following is she most likely lacking or does she most likely have very low levels of?

a) acetyl CoA

20. Many people die each year from ingesting antifreeze solutions. Antifreeze contains ethylene glycol, which the human body converts to oxalic acid in the presence of the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase. Oxalic acid exists in crystalline form and these crystals can severely damage kidneys. Ethanol is administered to victims with ethylene glycol poisoning because ethanol binds to the active site of alcohol dehydrogenase, inhibiting the formation of oxalate crystals. How would you classify ethanol in this scenario?

a) allometric inhibitor of ethylene glycol

b) allosteric inhibitor of ethylene glycol

c) cofactor of ethylene glycol

d) competitive inhibitor of ethylene glycol

e) covalent inhibitor of ethylene glycol
