2hr OGTT level aboe 200mg/dl: confirms diabetes dx
2hr. OGTT level b/w 140-200mg/dl: impaired glucose tolerance absolute refractory period: period when cell membrane is totally insensitive to additional stimuli, regardless of the stimulus force applied.
ACTH: hormone released by the anterior pituitary. stimulated by a hypothalamic hormone, CRH, inhibited by cortisol.
Action Potential: large reversal of the membrane polarity that occurs when the membrane depolarizes to threshold. active transport: the movement of molecules across a membrane that requires the expenditure of cellular

What factor might be the low-intensity exercise fatigue?: Depletion of energy reserves.
What has happened in the muscle when the maximal stimulus is achieved?: All the individual nerve fibers have been stimulated & responding all-or-none.
What is the effect of curare on eliciting an AP?: Curare affects the synapse rather than nerve propagation. b/c curare works by blocking synaptic transmissions so that neural impulses do not travel from neuron to neuron.
What is the effect of ether on eliciting an AP?: no nerve response
What is the effect of lidocaine on eliciting an AP?: Blocks sodium ion channels from opening, inhibiting AP.
What is the equation for Fick's First Law of Diffusion?: J = -DA△c/△x
What is the key variable in an isometric contraction?: muscle length
What is the relationship b/w size of a nerve and conduction velocity?: The larger the nerve, the faster the conduction velocity.
What is the role of hypothalamus in the production of thyroxine & TSH?: It is a primary endocrine gland that secretes several hormones affecting the pituitary gland. what morphology changes are seen in Hereditary Spherocytosis?: anisocytosis-microcytic,

    In the experiment of Nerve Conduction Velocity, it is the change in the membrane potential on the outside of the nerve that is being observed. The change that occurs here during depolarization will be so minuscule that it must be amplified in order to be visible on the oscilloscope. In this experiment, we will determine and compare the conduction velocities of different types of nerves. We will examine four nerves: an earthworm nerve, a frog nerve, and two rat nerves. The earthworm is the smallest; the frog nerve is a medium-sized myelinated nerve, Rat nerve 1 is medium-sized…
