Skeletal muscles - During the exercise the body converts glucose to ATP, as the intracellular concentration of glucose decreases muscles cells can use more glucose, in order to increase glucose levels in the cell, GLUT 4 transporter is used in the facilitated diffusion.
Adipose cells – body takes energy in glucose form, some of it is used and rest of it is stored as glycogen in liver, skeletal muscles or fat. The imbalance in glucose intake and expenditure causes hypertrophy and hyperplasia, which leads to obesity. GLUT 4 express in adipose cells, which allows for increased glucose uptake and thus more fat is stored.
what is the difference between the functioning of GLUT4 transporter in skeletal muscle cells whereas the...
A.Describe one similarity and one difference between skeletal muscle cells and cardiac muscle cells? B.When action potential arrives at the axonal terminal of neuromuscular junction (NMJ), name the neurotransmitter released to the synaptic cleft. Name the ion channel responsible for the binding to the neurotransmitter (c) When action potential arrives and travels down the T-tubule of skeletal muscle cells, this triggers the release of calcium ions from sarcoplasmic reticulum. Briefly explain how calcium ions are involved in initiating muscle contraction....
If we repeatedly stimulate a myocardial cell, and a skeletal muscle cells every 50 ms, what are the differences of muscle tension between these two types of cells? Explain why contractions in cardiac muscle cells are different to skeletal muscle cells
1. Identify four differences between: a. heart contractile cells and skeletal muscle fibers b. heart contractile cells and smooth muscle fibers 2. What are four similarities between: a. heart contractile cells and skeletal muscle fibers b. heart contractile cells and smooth muscle fibers
how do pathological states affect the skeletal muscle proteins and their functioning?
6) In unstimulated muscle cells, the glucose transporter Glute is present in the membrane of endosomes. Upon stimulation of these cells with insulin, the endosomes fuse with the plasma membrane, thereby depositing Glut4 in the plasma membrane, where it serves to transport glucose into the cells. In order for insulin to elicit this change in Glute localization, insulin must bind to its receptor, present in the plasma membrane of some cells. To determine if a stem cell line can be...
Answer following questions. (a)How are smooth muscle cells different from skeletal muscle fibers and cardiac muscle cells? (b)How are skeletal and cardiac muscle tissues similar to each other? How do these two types of muscle tissue differ from each other?
Both question is asking about the skeletal muscle cells. What purpose is served by the long length of the muscle fiber? What purpose do you think is served by having many having many nuclei?
Skeletal muscle cells have many nuclei per cell (i.e., they are multi- nucleate). What is the likely process, which results in this type of cell. Muscle cells lack the ability to separate chromosomes during! anaphase. Muscle cells undergo multiple rounds of mitosis for each pass through cytokinesis. Muscle cells undergo multiple rounds of S-phase during interphase. before entering G2. Muscle cells undergo multiple passes through cytokinesis for each pass through mitosis.
The neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) causes the rapid contraction of skeletal muscle and the slower relaxation of cardiac muscle. Which one of the following is the most likely explanation for this difference? A. ACh activates a GPCR pathway in cardiac muscle and an ion channel coupled receptor in skeletal muscle. B. ACh activates an ion channel coupled receptor in cardiac muscle and a GPCR pathway in cardiac muscle. C. ACh is permeable through the plasma membrane of skeletal muscle cells but...
