Chapter 32.2, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To explain:
How would shortening the stimulus duration affect the need for negative feedback if a hormone pathway provides a transient response to a stimulus.
Introduction:
The organs of endocrine system release chemical signal as hormones. A hormone is released by the organ system when it receives an internal stimulus. The glands of endocrine system release their content directly into the blood circulation and regulate other organs of the body. They have no ducts and are called as ductless glands.
The hormones of endocrine system is responsible for the regulation of body

Q4.7. Why does Na* enter the cell during the action potential?
Because the Na* channels are open and only let Na* move from outside to inside
Because the action potential pulls positive ions into the cell while Na* and K* channels are open
Because Na channels are open and allow Na* ions to move down the length of the axon to
produce neurotransmitter at the axon terminal
Because Na" channels are open and there is a higher concentration of Na outside of the neuron
than inside
What fraction of estrogen receptors is expected to be free in the presence of an estradiol concentration of 1 nM assuming no
other ligands are present? Enter your answer in decimal form.
Fraction of free estrogen receptors: =
0.9091
Incorrect
Q4.5. Why do neurons generate an action potential, instead of simply relying on the opening of
ion channels near the stimulus site to transmit information?
Because without the action potential, changes in Vm at the stimulus site might not reach the axon
terminal
Because without the action potential, the neuron would not depolarize
Because action potentials help the body keep ion concentrations at appropriate levels
Because without the action potential, the neuron would not return to resting potential
