Concept explainers
To determine:
Why the levels of cardiac troponin and CK are required to be studied for knowing, whether a person had suffered from heart attack or not. In the given case, Linda's father was taken to the emergency department as he had suffered from an apparent heart attack.
Introduction:
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) has a primary role in transferring energy from one place to another. It does not store the energy for longer duration anywhere. When the skeletal muscle fiber is at rest, it produces higher amounts of ATP than what is required. This ATP transfers the energy to creatine.

- What is a similarity and a difference between an exocrine gland and an endocrine gland?arrow_forwardThe hormone insulin enhances the transport of glucose (sugar) from the blood into most body cells. Its secretion is controlled by a negative-feedback system between the concentration of glucose in the blood and the insulin-secreting cells. Therefore, which of the following statements is correct? A decrease in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn further towers blood glucose concentration. An increase in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn lowers blood glucose concentration. A decrease in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn increases blood glucose concentration. An increase in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn further increases blood glucose concentration. None of the preceding is correct.arrow_forwardA human embryo develops with a mutation that prevents smooth muscle from developing in the body. Which bodily functions will be most affected by this mutation if it survives to birth?arrow_forward
- For a scientist creating a medical scaffold to surgically implant around the body of the pancreas, which areas of the pancreas would generate highest pressure which would cause deformation on the pancreas in the long run? Explain the hydrostatic pressure experienced within the pancreas that will generate a force on the inside of the scaffold and the hydrostatic pressure exerted on the scaffold from the surrounding blood vessels (explain which blood vessels will create a force around the pancreas)arrow_forwardIf calcium cannot be returned to the SR quickly after a muscle contraction, how would this affect muscle function?arrow_forwardWhy does going for a vigorous swim right after eating a heavy meal is probably more likely to cause indigestion and stomach ache than cramping of the leg or thigh muscles?arrow_forward
- For a medical scaffold surgically implant around the body of the pancreas, explain which areas on the scaffold would generate highest hydrostatic pressure on the scaffold and cause deformation (explain which blood vessels/organs would cause pressure on the scaffold)arrow_forwardAn athlete is aiming to optimize their protein intake for muscle repair and growth. Which of the following dietary modifications could potentially enhance the utilization of dietary protein for muscle protein synthesis?A) Consuming protein exclusively from plant-based sources like lentils and beans.B) Spreading protein intake evenly throughout the day, including after exercise.C) Increasing protein intake to more than 3 grams per kilogram of body weight daily.D) Exclusively consuming protein shakes immediately post-workout.arrow_forwardThe human endoskeleton is composed of an appendicular skeleton and an _______________ skeleton. Blood vessels and nerves are found in _______________ bone tissue. ____________________ connect bone-to-bone. _____________________ move bones by pulling on them. Artery health is facilitated by what form of lipoproteins? ____________________.arrow_forward
