Concept explainers
To discuss:
The gray and white communicating rami that connect the sympathetic ganglia to the spinal nerves; the reason they are named gray and white; and the path that sympathetic nerve fibers take through these rami.
Introduction:
Sympathetic systems arise from the central nervous system, and it controls the autonomic functions of the visceral organs. Ganglions are the collection of nerve fibers that form a nodal center hub to integrate the nerve endings. These ganglions are sympathetic or parasympathetic based on the nerve endings they receive and innervate the target organs. Ganglions are the outcome of nearly 20,000 to 30,000 nerve cell bodies, and they are very close to on adjacent either sides of the spinal cord.

- Molecular Biology Question You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas. What is the most likely explanation for this result?arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Explain/discuss how “slow stop” and “quick/fast stop” mutants wereused to identify different protein involved in DNA replication in E. coli.arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Question A gene that codes for a protein was removed from a eukaryotic cell and inserted into a prokaryotic cell. Although the gene was successfully transcribed and translated, it produced a different protein than it produced in the eukaryotic cell. What is the most likely explanation?arrow_forward
