Question
Chapter 6.5, Problem 19CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The way in which one chemical signal have opposite effects in two different tissues.
Introduction: In 1920, Walter Cannon explained several properties of the homeostatic control systems, and based on his understanding of working of control systems responsible for homeostasis, he proposed several postulates.

Which of the following statements is true?
Chemical messengers within cells are always the main determinant of the effector response.

Most people affected with Parkinson's disease demonstrate rigidity, slow movement, and shaking. The symptoms of Parkinson's disease occur when the cells that produce dopamine neurotransmitters die in the brain. Explain how the signal transmission at a synapse in an individual with Parkinson's disease is different than an unaffected individual. Describe the normal process of signal transmission at a synapse. Start with the arrival of an action potential at the axon terminal and include the name of the neurotransmitter that is affected by Parkinson's disease. Explain how the process is different in individuals affected with Parkinson's disease.arrow_forwardIn describing a positive feedback loop, which of the following would be true? a) the sensor and control center are always the same b) the effector signals the control center to shut off the initial stimulus c) the effect shuts off the initial stimulus d) the effect amplifies the initial stimuarrow_forward
- The propagation and reception of signals between nerve cells must happen quickly, in order for an organism to respond to stimuli appropriately. Because of that, the majority of neurotransmitters fall into which category? -Autocrine -Paracrine -Endocrine -Direct signalingarrow_forwardWhat type of signal transduction is involved in signaling from hormones such as estrogen and testosterone? Explain the signal transduction pathway that occurs. 1. Is there a short term description for signal transduction, instead wrting multiple words to descripte the type of signal transduction? Can I just identify it as active signal transduction and inactive signal transduction. Based on my understanding, active singal transduction is for the fast react transdcution, while inactive signal transduction meanly refers the hormonal affacts on the system. 2. For Ion channels, specific enzymes are both involed activated and inactivated signal transduction?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements most accurately describes what happens when an antagonist binds to a receptor? The antagonist binds non-covalently to the receptor and promotes internalisation of the receptor. Antagonist binding alters the structure of the receptor making it unable to function normally. At sufficiently high concentrations the antagonist can prevent the receptor from binding to its natural (endogenous) ligand. The antagonist-receptor complex binds to a heterotrimeric G protein forming a stable and inactive ternary complex.arrow_forward
- Transmission of a nerve impulse across a gap between neurons is due to: a) Movement of a molecule, a chemical signal b) Movement of a positive charge, an electrical signalarrow_forwardExplain synergistic vs antagonisticarrow_forwardWhich of the following is the most accurate process? Activation of G protein → change in activity of effector enzyme activation of protein kinase → change in second messenger levels. Change in second messenger levels → change in activity of effector enzyme → activation of protein kinase activation of G protein. Activation of G protein → change in activity of effector enzyme → change in second messenger levels → activation of protein kinase. Activation of G protein → change in second messenger levels activity of effector enzyme → activation of protein kinase. change inarrow_forward
