d. propagation of an action potential along the sarcolemma and T tubules
Explanation:
Excitation-contraction coupling occurs in the body as an electrical signal to the muscles, which must capture this signal and perform muscle contraction.
After this signal is emitted, an action potential is generated that will act on the neuromuscular junction and spread quickly and coordinated by the sarcolemma, reaching the T tubules.
In the T tubules, receptors of dihydropyridine receptors are located, which will continue the process, until muscle contraction is performed.
Excitation-contraction coupling refers to the series of events that begins with the excitation of the sarcolemma in response to stimulation by a neurotransmitter, and results in the release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
Hence, option D is the 1st process that starts the excitation-contraction coupling.
Emotion is one of the responses of an organism (whole) which
involves physiological arousal. Other than indicating emotion, physiological
arousal or heightened physiological activity is modernly used in polygraphs.
Polygraphs or lie detector notes changes in blood pressure, pulse, respiration
while the subject is asked and answers questions. It is based on the assumption
that dishonest answers are indicated with physiological arousal.
In single-celled organisms, materials are stored primarily in. ribosomes.
Mistletoe is a plant that lives on the branches of trees. The mistletoe plant sends its roots in through the bark of trees and takes away water and minerals that the tree needs.
