HPNU 3060 Human Physiology Test
with verified answers

Local communication types - correct answer ✔gap junction - connection between adjacent
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




cells which allows for chemical and electrical communication
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




contact dependent - cells have to touch for a ligand to go to a receptor on the second cell
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




autocrine - signal is released from a cell and acts on its own receptor
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




paracrine - signal is released from a cell and acts on the adjacent cell and binds to a
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




receptor


Long distance communications types - correct answer ✔Endocrine system - slower than
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




nervous, longer period of time; endocrine cell secretes hormone that is released into the
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




blood stream; hormone binds with a target cell that has a receptor and initiates response;
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




sensor and integrating center are the same cell
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




Nervous system - faster than endocrine, shorter time period; electrical signal goes from
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




neuron straight to target cell and initiates a respone
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




Neurohormones - mix of both; electrical signal is fast going through axon and releases |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




chemicals into the blood stream that move slowly to target cell with receptor
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




Basic signal transduction - correct answer ✔1. signal molecule (ligand) is produced
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




2. ligand is released into body (1st messenger)
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




3. combine w/ receptor, activation of target cell
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||

, 4. intracellular signal occurs (secondary messenger)
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




5. target proteins
|||||| ||||||




6. response
||||||




Lipophilic vs. lipophobic - correct answer ✔lipophilic - ligand diffuses through cell
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




membrane and attaches to receptor in cytoplasm or nucleus; slower response related to
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




gene activity ||||||




lipophobic - ligand binds to receptor on cell membrane wall; rapid response
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




signal amplification - correct answer ✔signals are "expensive" and are hard for the body to
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




make so the body amplifies the signal until it reaches its destination
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




simple pathway vs. complex pathway - correct answer ✔simple = faster
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




complex = slower |||||| ||||||




up regulation - correct answer ✔is example of exocytosis; cell creates more receptors to be
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




more responsive ||||||




down regulation - correct answer ✔is example of endocytosis; cell brings receptors back in
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




to become less responsive; know example of drug overdose
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




sympathetic - correct answer ✔fight or flight; increases HR |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




parasympathetic - correct answer ✔rest or digest; decreases HR |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




integrating center - correct answer ✔determines if signal meets threshold to make output
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




signal
