The most important mineralocorticoid regulator of electrolyte concentrations in extracellular fluids is Aldosterone.
Aldosterone hormone is produced by the adrenal gland, it acts in the functional unit of the kidneys to aid in the conservation of sodium, secretion of potassium, water retention and to stabilize blood pressure. The hormone causes water to be absorbed along with sodium ions which increases the blood volume and therefore blood pressure. It indirectly regulates blood levels of electrolytes and helps to maintain the blood pH.
The answer is the pancreas. The Pancreas in not involved in
the enterohepatic circulation. The Pancreas is a glandular organ, found in the
digestive system in our body. The Pancreas is found in the abdominal cavity
behind our stomach. The Pancreas produces many important hormones such as
insulin, glucagon and somatostatin.
Complete question:
Receptors trigger one of two effector pathways resulting in changes in neuronal activity. These changes will, ultimately, effect gene expression. Which effector pathway is characterized by ion flux through transmitter-activated channels resulting in an altered membrane potential and neuronal activity?
A. Slow effector pathways
B. Modulated effector pathways
C. Rapid effector pathways
D. NMDA glutamate receptor pathways
Answer:
D. NMDA glutamate receptor pathways
Explanation:
The NMDA glutamatergic receptor is a cationic channel receptor modulated by a ligand that allows the transport of Na+, K+, and Ca2+. Under certain situations, it exhibits particular permeability to Ca2+. The receptor has different regions that are susceptible to modulation by endogenous and exogenous agents. The receptor can be found at most excitatory synapses, where it responds to the neurotransmitter glutamate. During synapsis, the presynaptic membrane releases L-glutamate, which is received by NMDA glutamatergic receptor. The receptor plays a regulatory role because activates signaling cascades that depend on calcium.
These receptors are involved in normal synaptic transmission, in a diverse physiological phenomenon, and might be responsible for neurodegenerative processes.
There are 4 valence electrons in an atom of carbon. Carbon is in group 4A of the periodic table. There are 6 electrons in a carbon atom but only 4 of them are valence. carbon can never form more than 4 bonds and is unhappy with less than 4.
