<span>Pacinian corpuscles are rapidly adapting mechanoreceptors so they respond only at the onset and offset of the stimulus. The Pacinian corpuscle has a single afferent nerve fiber. Its end is covered by a sensitive receptor membrane whose sodium channels will open when the membrane is deformed in any way. Pressure thus causes sodium to enter the neuron and create a generator potential. If this potential reaches a certain threshold nerve impulses are formed. This impulse is now transferred along the axon with the use of sodium channels and sodium/potassium pumps in the axon membrane. The magnitude of the stimulus is encoded in the frequency of impulses generated in the neuron. So the more massive or rapid the deformation of a single corpuscle, the higher the frequency of nerve impulses generated in its neuron.</span>

Jim's heart rate was monitored during periods of exercise and periods of rest. The graph shows the result of one 50-minute
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is "Jim’s heart rate decreased quickly after 30 minutes since he is in good shape".

Explanation:

I attached the missing graph and the missing options of this question are:

Jim’s heart rate was 60 beats per minute at the start of the test.

Jim’s maximum heart rate during the test was 140 beats per minute.

Jim’s heart rate increased steadily as he continued exercising.

Jim’s heart rate decreased quickly after 30 minutes since he is in good shape.

The correct answer is "Jim’s heart rate decreased quickly after 30 minutes since he is in good shape".

While the first two statements are correct, since they point out data from the graph, the only statement that makes an inference based on the information of the graph is the last one. An inference is a conclusion that was reached base on evidence. In this case, the inference is that Jim is in good shape, and the evidence that was used to reach this conclusion is that his heart rate decreased quickly after 30 minutes.

Nitric oxide is a paracrine signal molecule because NO
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

C. is unstable, with a short half life

Explanation:

Paracrine hormones are the hormones that act on neighboring cells only. These hormones or chemicals are largely unstable and have a brief life as do not visit the distantly placed target cells. For instance, somatostatin is secreted by D cells of the pancreas. It acts in a paracrine manner and inhibits the discharge of hormones from the neighboring beta and alpha cell.

Likewise, one of the functions of unstable NO gas is to serve as a vasodilator. It is released by epithelium cells and serves to dilate arterioles and relax precapillary sphincters. Then it is degraded.
