During an anatomical class, Dr. Hales removes the heart of a frog and places it in a beaker of oxygenated Ringer's solution. He

then instructs his health care trainees to observe how the muscles of the frog's heart continue to contract even without external stimulation. What property of the muscles of the heart is Dr. Hales asking his students to observe?

Answer:

Autorhythmicity of the heart

Explanation:

It is the study of the characteristics features of the cardiac muscle cells with the ability to initiate action potential at certain level without connection to any external stimulus which the heart beats constantly and rhythmically. Cardiac muscle cells controls the rate of contraction of heartbeats.

Answer:

Autorhythmicity

Explanation:

This is a unique future of  cardiac muscles of the heart.It is the ability of  these  muscles to generate and fire action potential spikes  at a fixed  rate without an external stimulus ;  the spread of these potential  to all the cells of the heart, with consequent  contraction heart  as a single unit , or rhythmically.

This process is mediated by nervous and endocrine  system, and  the action potential generated is conducted through the heart by the myocardial conduction cells.

Autorhythmicity is the due to lack of membrane potential in the myocardial conduction cells. This is because, the  sodium channels did not close up but  allow continuous influx of sodium ions, with the rise in the membrane potential from  -60mv to 40mv. Consequently,pre-potential depolarization sets in. This is followed by influx of Ca+ ions, though the voltage-gated Calcium channels; leading to generation of action potential and therefore spread to all parts of the heart,leading to autorhythmicity.

List the three principal hormones that regulate glucose metabolism. Explain the effects these molecules have on carbohydrate met
drek231 [11]

Answer:

The three hormones are insulin, glucagon, and GIP and GLP-1.

Explanation:

After the ingestion of carbohydrates, insulin increases in the blood generating peaks in blood glucose, therefore the hormone that will increase is insulin to lower blood glucose, promoting the entry of this monosaccharide into the cells.

Different from the moments when the person enters into physical activity, and blood glucose is low, therefore glucagon is activated and seeks to remove the energy reserves from the interior of the cell.

Which cellular environments is conducive to the formation of disulfide bonds within or between proteins?
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

The rough ER

Explanation:

Generally the formation of native  disulphide bond is essential for the folding and maturation of  proteins in the secretory pathways.These bonds are formed in the rough E.R, and also in the intramembrane of the mitochondria.

Basically an oxdative parthways is required  for the disulfide bond to form, while a reductive pathway is needed for the formation of isomers for non-native disulphide bonds. These oxidative pathways takes place in the rE.R

Generally the disulphide bonds is usually formed by oxidation of  two cysteines bonds. it does not occur in the cytoplasm because it is always in reduced state due to the presence of disulphide reductase. The same explains why it does not occur in the Nuclei

Que opinan de la palabra célula y por qué le dió este nombre?​
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

La palabra célula viene del latín cellula (pequeña celda) formada de cella (celda) y el sufijo diminutivo -ula, que encontramos en palabras como cápsula, molécula, vernácula. La palabra latina cella viene de una raíz indoeuropea *kel- (cubrir, esconder), que encontramos en las palabras ocultar, célula y color.
