Which of the following statement(s) about the structures making up a synovial joint is incorrect? Articular cartilage reduces fr

iction between articulating surfaces in the joint during movement and helps to absorb shock. Synovial fluid which contains hyaluronic acid and interstitial fluid, helps to nourish chondrocytes, absorb shocks, and supply nutrients and remove wastes. Articular discs absorb shocks and help to distribute synovial fluid across the articular surfaces of the joint. All of these are correct statements.

Answer:

All of these are correct statements

Explanation:

The synovial joint is found between bones that move against each other. The joint types include the ball and socket, pivot, hinge, saddle and plane joints..

The synovial joints structure is made up of;

A)The articulate capsule which has the fibrous layer and the synovial layer. The fibrous layer holds the bones in place and the synovial layer or synovium, secretes synovial fluid and also plays a role in the exchange of nutrients between the joint and blood.

B) The synovial fluid which helps in lubricating, absorbing shock and also circulating nutrients within the joint.

C) The articular cartilage which is a thin lining of hyaline cartilage that covers the bone surfaces that are in contact with each other thereby reducing friction during joint movements and absorbing shock.

2. The mother is blood type O and the father is blood type A.
soldier1979 [14.2K]
Well this really depends on if the father is homozygous or heterozygous for type A.
But lets say he is homozygous for right now. That mean if he were to produce offspring with a type O women then all of there offspring would be heterozygous for type A.
If the father was heterozygous for type A and he produced with the same type O mother then the offspring would be either type O or heterozygous type A. In this case there is a 50% chance either way.
Hope this makes sense(;

Place all eight of these steps of the insulin signaling pathway in the correct order. The abbreviation PIP 2 is used for phospha
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The correct insulin pathway is described as under:

2. Binding of insulin to the alpha subunit of the insulin receptor

8. Activation of insulin receptor tyrosine kinase

3. Phosphorylation of IRS proteins

6. Phosphorylation of phosphinositide 3-kinase (PI-3K)

4. Conversion of PIP2 to PIP3

7. Activation of PIP3-dependent protein kinase B (PDK1)

5. Glut4 receptors transported to the cell membrane

Explanation:

The insulin signaling pathway is described as under:

RTK (receptor tyrosine kinases) which is a receptor for insulin is an extracellular receptor but in contrast to other cell surface receptors it is catalytic in nature. In the absence of insulin (ligand), it is monomeric but as soon as it gets activated (activation occurs upon ligand binding), it undergo dimerization. It leads to auto-phosphorylation in it's tyrosine residue which subsequently leads to phosphorylation of tyrosine residue of other receptors. Such hyper-phosphorylated receptor have high affinity with enzyme/molecule like IRS protein which have SH2 domain . IRS down stream activates phosphinositide 3-kinase (PI-3K). This enzyme converts component of animal cell membrane PIP2 into PIP3. PIP3 also remains membrane bound but it has the potential to phosphorylate another enzyme named as PIP3-dependent protein kinase B (PDK1). Further, PDK1 leads to the activation of Akt or PK-B. Akt is a serine-threonine kinase which ultimately leads to the recruitment of Glut4 receptors on cell membrane for uptake of more and more glucose into the cell.

Note: Apart from this Akt also phosphorylates another protein named as FOXO which ultimately causes cell growth, Akt can also phosphorylate BAD protein so as to restrict cell apoptosis or we can say it leads to cell survival, Akt also leads to translation in a cell with the help of mTOR raptor etc.
