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?

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?
