The earliest written use of the name, spelled Rontaks, was in 1724 by the French missionary Joseph-François Lafitau. He defined it as tree eaters. In the Mohawk language, Adirondack means porcupine, an animal that may eat bark. The Mohawks had no written language at the time so Europeans have used various phonetic spellings. An English map from 1761 labels it simply Deer Hunting Country and the mountains were named Adirondacks in 1837 by Ebenezer Emmons.

Which of the following events would be directly affected if a neuron had a mutation that prevented the production of voltage-gat
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

depolarization leading to action potentials

Explanation:

The voltage-gated Na+ channels are responsible for rapid depolarization phase of the action potential. Action potential generation require depolarization of neuronal membrane which is acquired by influx of sodium ions through voltage gated sodium ion channels. If the Na+ channels are blocked, there will be no influx of sodium ions to cause depolarization hence action potential will not be generated.

Sometimes the microvilli on the epithelial cells lining the proximal tubule are destroyed. What effect would this have?
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Reduced reabsorption of salts and nutrients from the proximal tubule.

Explanation:

The proximal convoluted tubules are the site for reabsorption of the largest amount of solute and water from the filtered fluid. It reabsorbs 65% of water, electrolytes such as Na+ and K+, almost 100% of the filtered glucose and amino acids and other electrolytes such as Ca2+, Mg2+, etc.

The simple cuboidal epithelial cells of the proximal convoluted tubule have a prominent brush border of microvilli on their apical surface. These microvilli serve to increase the surface area for reabsorption and secretion. Destruction of these microvilli would reduce the reabsorption of the above-mentioned salts and nutrients from proximal convoluted tubules.
