Question
Chapter 11.4, Problem 4CC
Summary Introduction
To know: The reason for the difference in the action of cardiac muscles and respiratory muscles towards epinephrine.
Introduction: The heart is largely made up of a type of muscle tissue called cardiac muscle. This muscle contracts when the heart beats, allowing blood to pump through the body. Cardiac muscle cells are located in the walls of the heart. Smooth muscle fibers are found in the walls of hollow visceral organs (such as the liver, pancreas, and intestines), except for the heart, and are spindle-shaped.

The fight-or-flight reaction prepares an animal to Pesponu Lu a
threatening situation, by either fighting or running away. One
aspect of this response is changes in blood flow such that the
skeletal muscles and heart receive higher blood flow (vessels
dilate) while digestive organs receive less (vessels constrict). A)
Which signal molecule(s) is/are involved in this response, and
how do they produce these changes in blood vessels?
Briefly explain how this example illustrates how different cells
are able to use the same ligands in different ways.
During rhythmic, moderately intense aerobic exercise, there is a redistribution of blood flow
throughout the body. Which of the following statements is true?
O beta-2 receptors cause dilation and increased blood flow to the exercising muscle
there is a large increase in blood flow to the brain to keep you alert
mean arterial pressure increases 5-8x due to a similar increase in total cardiac output
blood flow to the kidneys and gut increases due to the presence of alpha-2 receptors
Assume you have a stock solution of epinephrine at a concentration of 20 mg/ml.
Further assume that there are 20 drops/ml. Calculate the number of drops of stock
solution that must be added to a smooth muscle bath containing 199 ml of Locke’s
solution so that the final concentration of epinephrine in the muscle bath will be 100
μg/ml
