Answer:G protein action

Explanation:

Signal transduction through protein action is through G protein coupled receptors (GPCR). Binding of different types of signal molecules to G protein couple receptors is a general mechanism of signal transduction.

G proteins act as an intermediary to a stimulation of a receptor. When an extracellular messenger, the hormone (H) combines with the specific receptor (R) on the plasma membrane. The H-R complex activates the regulatory components of G proteins. The G-protein inturn will interact with the effect proteins which may be enzymes or ion channel proteins, which result in the desired effect.

How is the fossil record evidence for evolution and how have organisms changed overtime?
Mashutka [201]

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

músculo cardíaco

Explanation:

Los 3 tipos de tejido muscular son 1-músculo cardíaco o miocardio (involuntario), 2-músculo liso (involuntario) y 3-músculo esquelético (voluntario). Las células del músculo cardíaco, las cuales son conocidas como 'miocardiocitos', poseen una apariencia estriada y forman la pared del corazón. Los miocardiocitos son alargados, ramificados, y poseen un núcleo central (son células uninucleadas, a diferencia de las células del músculo esquelético, las cuales son multinucleadas). Además, los micardicitos son más cortos (80 a 100 µm) y más anchos (aprox. 15 µm) que las células del músculo esquelético. Los miocardiocitos presentan uniones especializadas conocidas como discos intercalares, los cuales son un tipo de complejo de unión entre los límites de dos cardiomiocitos. En el citoplasma de los cardiomiocitos se encuentran las miofibrillas, las cuales son estructuras contráctililes que les confieren a las células musculares sus propiedades características de contracción y de elasticidad. En estas células (cardiomiocitos) las miofibrillas se disponen de manera longitudininal con un patrón estriado.
