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 …show more content…
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,
