Textbook Question
Chapter 40.1, Problem 3CC
WHAT IF? Ø Suppose you are standing at the edge of a cliff and suddenly slip, barely managing to keep your balance and avoid falling. As your heart races, you feel a burst of energy, due in part to a surge of blood into dilated (widened) vessels in your muscles and an upward spike in the level of glucose in your blood. Why might you expect that this "fight-or-flight" response requires both the nervous and endocrine systems?

20. The figure below shows the pathway through which nitric oxide (NO) triggers smooth muscle relaxation in a blood-
vessel wall. Which of the following situations would lead to relaxation of the smooth muscle cells in the absence of
acetylcholine?
arginine
Answer:
activated.
nerve terminal
-acetylcholine
NO
endothelial cell
RAPID DIFFUSION OF NO
ACROSS MEMBRANES
NO bound to
guanylyl cyclase
GTP
cyclic
GMP
RAPID RELAXATION
OF SMOOTH MUSCLE CELL
smooth muscle cell
A) A smooth muscle cell that has a defect in guanylyl cyclase such that it cannot bind NO
B) A muscle cell that has a defect in guanylyl cyclase such that it constitutively converts GTP to cyclic GMP
C) A muscle cell that has cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase constitutively active
D) A drug that blocks an enzyme involved in the metabolic pathway from arginine to NO
E) None of the above
Explanation:
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.
