Think of a definable action you perform in your daily life that
requires more than one direction to complete the task. An example
would be swinging and releasing a bowling ball (do not use this
example).
a) Identify the primary joints involved.
b) Separate the action into at least 5 steps/stages (the direction
of movement could be useful to categorize the steps).
c) Within each step/stage, identify the muscles that contribute to
the respective motion at each joint.

I have to write about dopamine
- I should talk about its synthesis- (physiologic mechanisms and drugs or foods affecting them);
- storage in vesicles (physiology-like the name of the pump for storage and drugs, toxins or foods that interferes with it);
-its release-physiology and drugs or toxins that interfere;
-the termination of effect in the synapse (physiology-like enzymatic breakage or re-uptake
-about the drugs that affect the process -and its receptors of these neurotransmitters and drugs acting on these receptors -
refer them as agonists and antagonists for relevant receptors).
I still have 4 more, I will post the questions individually
no need for figures if everything I asked for is explained.

1.During renal autoregulation, the myogenic feedback system functions to:(Choose the best answer)
a) regulate renin secretion to impact blood pressure
b) increase glomerular filtration rate by dilating the efferent arteriole
c) regulate CHP and BCOP in relation to GBHP
d) alter glomerular filtration rate by altering the diameter of the afferent arteriole
e) decrease glomerular filtration rate by constricting the efferent arteriole
2.All are true of the kidneys except:(Choose the best answer)
