A sudden shift in the tectonic plates of the earth
Answer: Hydrophobic hormones
Explanation:
Hydrophobic hormones are able to diffuse through the membrane and interact with the intracellular receptor.
These hormones travels in the blood plasma which is bound to the plasma protein.
Example: Steroidal hormones are highly hydrophobic in nature.Steroids are sex hormones related to the maturity of the body.
Answer:
c. Increased reabsorption of phosphate in the kidneys
d. Increased deposition of calcium into the bones.
Explanation:
Hyperphosphatemia is a condition that is expressed particularly in people with a kidney dysfunction. It comprises the kidneys, which do not excrete enough phosphate from the body as they reabsorbe it and thus leading to increased phosphate levels.
Also, phosphate binds calcium with high affinity, provoking acute hypocalcemia (decreased levels of calcium). In Hyperphosphatemia, calcium is being deposited mostly in the bone but also in the extraskeletal tissue.
Answer:
Neurotransmitters are released from axon terminals via exocytosis
Explanation:
Dendrite is the receiving part of the presynaptic neuron, while axon is the transmitting part of the neuron. So, after initiation, action potentials travel down axons to the terminals. Action potential travels through the membrane of the presynaptic cell causing the voltage-gated channels permeable to calcium ions to open. Ca2+ flow through the presynaptic membrane and increase the Ca concentration in the cell which will activate proteins attached to vesicles that contain a neurotransmitter (e.g. acetylcholine). Vesicles fuse with the membrane of the presynaptic cell, thereby release their contents into the synaptic cleft-space between the membranes of the pre- and postsynaptic cells (exocytosis of the vesicle's content). Neurotransmitter ACh (from the vesicles) binds to its receptors on the postsynaptic membrane and its binding causes depolarization of the target cell (muscle cell). Depolarization occurs because sodium enters the cell as a result of neurotransmitter receptor binding.
