Compare and Contrast the Neuronal Action Potential vs Cardiac
Action Potential. Focus on the STEPS (depolorization, refractory
period repolorization, Na/K pumps, resting membrane potential,
ect...) of the both action potentials and identify the
difference(s).
What is the significance and involvement of Calcium ions in the
cardiac action potentials? Why are Calcium ions not necessary in
the neuronal action potentials, but are essential in the myocardial
AP?

Q1Even a small quantity of hormone can have a strong effect on its target cell because of ______.
a. negative feedback inhibition.
b. an antagonistic effect.
c. up-regulation
d. enzyme
e. down-regulation
f. none of these
Q2) Which of the following statements is FALSE?
a. The Golgi tendon reflex is the inhibition of a muscle
contraction that occurs when its tendon is excessively
stretched.
b. A ganglion is a swelling along a nerve containing cell bodies of
peripheral neurons.
c. Neurons move material away from the soma by anterograde
transport.
d. Astrocytes serve the same purpose in the CNS that Schwann cells
do in the PNS.
e. None of the these.
Q3) Which of the following statements is FALSE?
a. Taste signals travel from the tongue through the facial and
hypoglossal nerves.
b. The middle ear consists of an air-filled chamber.
c. Rods secrete glutamate from the base of the cell when NOT
exposed to light.
d. Peptide hormones are synthesized by the rough endoplasmic
reticulum.
e. None of the these.'
Q4) Which of the following statements is FALSE?
a. Fibers of the vagus nerve end very near their target
organs.
b. The autonomic effect on a target cell depends on the receptor on
that target cell.
c. Most sympathetic preganglionic fibers synapse with
postganglionic fibers in the chain ganglia.
d. The autonomic nervous system carries out many somatic reflexes
that are crucial to homeostasis.
e. None of the these
Q5) Which statement about diabetes mellitus (DM) is NOT
correct?
a. type II DM is more common than type I DM.
b. target cells are unresponsive to insulin in type II DM.
c. the body produces autoantibodies that destroy the pancreatic
beta cells in type I DM.
d. diabetic neuropathy is a common long-term effect of DM.
e. None of the these.
Q6) Which statement is false
a. Axons arising in the cerebellum cannot excite
skeletal muscle contraction.
b. If a muscle is repeatedly stimulated and allowed to relax
between stimuli, the successive contractions will be stronger. This
phenomenon, known as treppe, or staircase effect, is thought to be
due to the accumulation of calcium ions in the sarcoplasm.
c. Large motor units having a large innervation ratio allow for
less control than small motor units.
d. A muscle contracts more strongly when lifting a 20-pound weight
than when lifting a 5-pound weight. This is because individual
fibers contract harder.
e. None of the these.

• Understanding the interaction between a protein and its ligand at a molecular level is important in drug design. Based on your understanding of chemical specificity, do you think drugs should be designed to be highly specific to the target site or less specific? Think about side effects and the fact that mutations (resulting in changes in protein composition) are often present – discuss advantages and disadvantages of a drug that is highly specific to its target?
