Textbook Question
Chapter 40.1, Problem 3CC
WHAT IF? Ø Suppose you are standing at the edge of a cliff and suddenly slip, barely managing to keep your balance and avoid falling. As your heart races, you feel a burst of energy, due in part to a surge of blood into dilated (widened) vessels in your muscles and an upward spike in the level of glucose in your blood. Why might you expect that this "fight-or-flight" response requires both the nervous and endocrine systems?

The fight-or-flight reaction prepares an animal to Pesponu Lu a
threatening situation, by either fighting or running away. One
aspect of this response is changes in blood flow such that the
skeletal muscles and heart receive higher blood flow (vessels
dilate) while digestive organs receive less (vessels constrict). A)
Which signal molecule(s) is/are involved in this response, and
how do they produce these changes in blood vessels?
Briefly explain how this example illustrates how different cells
are able to use the same ligands in different ways.

- Someone goes for a jog first thing in the morning and encounters a squadron of javelinas, causing a release of epinephrine. Some of this circulating epinephrine binds to a G-alpha-s coupled receptor (GPCR) on the surface of muscle cells. Which of the following would occur in the muscle cell as a result of this activation? Nitric oxide synthesis would increase. cyclic AMP (cAMP) activity would increase. Phospholipase C (PLC) would hydrolyze (cut) the molecule PIP2. The levels of adenylate cyclase activity would decrease. The levels of adenylate cyclase activity would decrease. Which ligand is CORRECTLY matched with its characteristic? Group of answer choices Glucagon: stimulates the activation of the mitogen activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway Nitric oxide (NO): must bind to its target protien withn a few seconds because NO degrades rapidly Steroid hormone: produces a response in its target cells within seconds Acetylcholine: hydrophobic molecule that binds to…arrow_forward.

An antelope sprints quickly away from a predator, relying on anaerobic respiration in the powerful skeletal muscles of its legs to escape. While it is being chased there is a surge in the release of norepinephrine from the autonomic nervous system. After it has escaped there is a surge of acetylcholine release from the autonomic nervous system. What might you expect to see in its circulatory system while it is being chased? A. an increased heart rate B. an increased cardiac output C. an increased mean arterial blood pressure D. all of the above E. none of the abovearrow_forward
