PART II - DIRECTION: State whether each of the following indiçates NEGATIVE or POSITIVE feedback. Write your answer in the space provided before each number. (30 mins. with provision for analysis and writing your answer.) 1. The synthesis of an enzyme that creates the blood clot matrix is part of the complex biochemical mechanism. of blood clotting. This has a self-catalytic, or self-accelerating impact, which means that once the clotting process starts, it accelerates until the bleeding stops. 2. When blood pressure is high, the walls of arteries stretch. These walls' baroreceptors likewise stretch, causing a signal to be transmitted to the brain, which causes the body's heart rate to slow. This reduces blood pressure by slowing the flow of blood through the arteries. 3. When blood pressure lowers, baroreceptors become flaccid, and a signal is given to speed up the heart rate. '4. During childbirth stretching of the uterus triggers the secretion of the hormone oxytocin, which…

Please help me with this question. More than one answer may be correct. THe graph relating to the information is included below. Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a condition in which the wall of the heart, starting with the left ventricle, stretches and thins. This prevents the heart from pumping effectively and can be life threatening. The above graph shows mRNA expression (left pane) and protein expression (right pane) for three molecular components of cardiomyocytes (GJA3 is the gene that encodes for Connexin 46, DSP is the gene that encodes for Desmoplakin, and CTNNA3 is the gene that encodes for Catenin α-3) between DCM cells and healthy cardiomyocytes (CNT). Based on the above figure, which of the following issues are hearts with dilated cardiomyopathy likely to suffer? Options: impaired electrical conduction between cells impaired cell-cell communication poor cell-cell adhesion decreased energetic output from mitochondria impaired ability to pass mitochondria between cells

Hyperglycemia associated with diabetes promotes a prothrombotic state by affecting a number of different steps in the clotting pathway. Which of the following would result in more rather than less clotting? Check all that apply.

question: Summarize the following in concise and understandable language. Nanotechnology Tools to Inactivate SARS-CoV-2 in Patients The main target of SARS-CoV-2 is the respiratory tract (upper airways, lung), although other organs might also be infected (e.g., gut, kidney) and vasculature also appears to be a prime target. The expression of ACE2 probably determines uptake by different tissues. In addition to discussing immune-based approaches, because the lung is the most critically affected organ, we will center our discussion on the various options to inactivate the virus in the deep lung and to target the essential host cells for drug delivery. The virus reaches the alveoli and enters alveolar epithelial type II cells (AECII), due to the relatively high abundance of ACE2 and a permissive cellular milieu. These cells serve as a reservoir of the virus, which finally spreads throughout the lung, leading to the lung function impairment seen in severe cases. Airborne nanomaterials are…
Plasmin is an essential enzyme for clot breakdown (hydrolysis of fibrin protein to Fibrinogen degradation product (FDP)) as shown in the figure below. tPA is a serine protease that catalyzes the hydrolysis of plasminogen to plasmin. Cardiovascular disorders such, as heart attack and stroke are among the top ten causes of death. Stroke patients, under certain circumstances, have better outcomes when treated with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA). In humans, the PLAT gene codes the tPA protein, and is expressed only in endothelial cells that line the blood vessels. plasmin → fibrinolysis FDP tPA fibrin plasminogen a. How do you think the PLAT gene expression is specifically regulated only in the endothelial cells? Provide two specific explanations. Explain briefly. b. Considering the therapeutic potential of tPA, you and your friend want to produce a large amount of human tPA using recombinant technologies. You suggest cloning the intact human PLAT gene in bacteria to express it and…
