Secretion of human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg) occurs during what time frame during pregnancy?

1 answer:

3 0

Secretion of human chorionic gonadotropin [HCG] only occur during pregnancy in the placenta. The concentration of this hormone increase rapidly during the first three months of pregnancy; the amount in the blood stream doubles every two to three days as the development of the placenta and embryo progress. The hormone reaches its maximum concentration peak around the sixth week of pregnancy and after this, its concentration decline.

glucose levels go up in the bloodstream after a meal. beta cells of the pancreas detect the elevated glucose levels. this causes

Keith_Richards [23]

The secretion of insulin into the bloodstream is done through exocytosis and absorption through the capillary arteries.

Insulin is a protein required to process sugar. This is a <u>naturally produced protein</u> for which the pancreas is responsible. The insulin Protein is considered a transport protein. It is responsible for carrying glucose from the bloodstream into cells to be used as energy.

This protein is of vital importance. The secretion of this protein is done through exocytosis, which means that after passing through the ribosomes and the Golgi, it is contained within a membrane, which will then fuse into the plasmatic membrane and be released from the cell. It is then absorbed through the capillaries to enter the bloodstream.

Which of the following characteristics are true for an action potential?

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

I, II, III

Explanation:

A threshold stimulus is a stimulus that is capable to produce a response in excitable tissues such as neurons and muscle fibers. At threshold potential, the outward movement of K+ and inward movement of Na+ become equal to each other. When the potential exceeds the threshold potential, more and more Na+ enter the cell to depolarize it and to allow the opening of Na+ channels. Therefore, to fire an action potential, the threshold must be exceeded.

Conduction of action potential is all or none phenomenon which means that either it occurs or it does not occur. As an impulse is passed by each successive part of an exon, it enters the refractory period during which there is no conduction of nerve impulse. It ensures the one-way conduction of impulse from the cell body to the axon terminal only.
