Accommodation: Refers to a gradual increase in threshold caused by prolonged
slowly rising sub-threshold nerve depolarization, resulting from the inactivation of
sodium channels.
Adaptation: If a supra-threshold (NOT sub-threshold) stimulus persists
unchanged for several minutes without a change in position or amplitude (NOT
slowly rising), the neural response diminishes and sensation is lost, a condition
called receptor adaptation.

blood pressures < 120 mm Hg) were studied every 2 years throughout their adult
lives. Effects of age and sex on arterial pressure components (systolic and
diastolic BP) in the study are given below. Fall of diastolic pressure after the
middle age is due to:
a. Increase stiffness of arteries

Cardiac responses to moderate supine exercise in normal humans and a patients
with transplanted hearts are recorded and given below. The slow rise of heart
rate in transplanted patient is due to:
a. Sympathetic reinnervation
b. Circulating catecholamine
c. Bainbridge reflex
d. Anrep Effects
26. Points to Remember:
• Patients with transplanted hearts are able to increase their cardiac output
during exercise in the absence of cardiac innervation through the operation of
the Frank-Starling mechanism.
• Circulating catecholamines also contribute.
• Venous return also increases by the pumping action of the muscles and the
increase in respiration.
• In addition, because of vasodilation in the contracting muscles, peripheral
resistance, and, consequently, afterload are decreased.
• The end result in both normal and transplanted hearts is thus a prompt and
marked increase in cardiac output.

41. Points to remember
• If epinephrine or norepinephrine is
added: membrane potential
usually becomes larger (more
negative or hyperpolarization), the
spikes decrease in frequency, and
the muscle relaxes.
• If acetylcholine is added:
membrane potential decreases
(less negative or depolarization)
and the spikes become more
frequent.

In a normal cell of the body, intracellular concen- trations of sodium, calcium, and chloride are less than the extracellular concentrations, whereas potassium has a higher intracellular concentration compared with its extracellular concentration. The figure shows that transporter Y moves sodium down its concentration gradient into the cell and moves calcium against its concentration gradient out of the cell. The energy required to move calcium ions against their concentration gradient is supplied by the sodium concentration gradient (which was established using ATP) and is a typical example of secondary active transport. Trans- porter X in the figure moves both potassium and sodium against their concentration gradients, which is primary active transport and requires use of ATP at the pump. Transporter Z suggests that chloride can move in either direction across the cell membrane but only by simple diffusion through the water-filled membrane channel.
Answer: C
Ans: c. shivering
When the set point of the hypothalamic temperature-regulating center becomes higher than normal, all the mechanisms for raising the body temperature are brought into play, including heat conservation and increased heat production (Vasoconstriction, Piloerection, Epinephrine
Secretion and Shivering): This is A part in the curve. Within a few hours after the set point has been increased, the body temperature also approaches this level.
When set point suddenly reduced to low value, Vasodilation Sweating occurs: part B of the curve.
C.
Muscle B is characteristic of a slow-twitch muscle (type 1) composed of predominantly slow-twitch muscle fibers. Muscle contraction is triggered by an increase in sarcoplasmic Ca++ concentration. The delay between the termination of the depolarizing pulse and the onset of muscle contraction, also called the “lag,” reflects the time necessary for the depolarizing pulse to be trans- lated into an increase in sarcoplasmic Ca++ concentra- tion. This process involves a conformational change in the voltage-sensing, or dihydropyridine receptor, located on the T tubule membrane, along with the subsequent conformational change in the ryanodine receptor on the sarcoplasmic reticulum and the release of Ca++ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

The answer is A. Alanine, like glucose, is avidly reabsorbed in the early proximal tubule by a Na+–amino acid cotransporter. Thus, the percentage of the filtered load of ala- nine remaining in the tubular fluid declines rapidly along the proximal tubule as alanine is reabsorbed into the blood. Glucose will also follow same type of curve.B: Na, H20 and other osmoles.C: InulinD: PAH
The answer is D.
A person who is deprived of water will have high circulating levels of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). The tubular fluid/plasma (TF/P) osmolarity is 1.0 throughout the proximal tubule, regardless of ADH status. In antidiuresis, TF/P osmolarity > 1.0 at site C because of equilibration of the tubular fluid with the large corticopapillary osmotic gradient. At site E, TF/P osmolarity > 1.0 because of water reabsorption out of the collecting ducts and equilibration with the corticopapillary gradient. At site D, the tubular fluid is diluted because NaCl is reabsorbed in the thick ascending limb without water, making TF/P osmolarity < 1.0.
The answer is E.
K+ is secreted by the late distal tubule and collecting ducts. Because this secretion is affected by dietary K+, a person who is on a high-K+ diet can secrete more K+ into the urine than was originally filtered. At all of the other nephron sites, the amount of K+ in the tubular fluid is either equal to the amount filtered (site A) or less than the amount filtered (because K+ is reabsorbed in the proximal tubule and the loop of Henle).
Ans: b. Laplace law
The cystometrogram curve shows an initial slight rise in pressure when the first increments in volume are produced (Ia); a long, nearly flat segment as further increments are produced (Ib); and a sudden, sharp rise in pressure as the micturition reflex is triggered (II).
The first urge to void is felt at a bladder volume of about 150 mL, and a marked sense of fullness at about 400 mL. The flatness of segment Ib is a manifestation of the law of Laplace. This law states that the pressure in a spherical viscus is equal to twice the wall tension divided by the radius. In the case of the bladder, the tension increases as the organ fills, but so does the radius. Therefore, the pressure increase is slight until the organ is relatively full.
D) The kidneys excrete little or no glucose as long as the filtered load of glucose (the product of the GFR and the plasma glucose concentration) does not exceed the tubular transport maximum for glucose. Once the filtered load of glucose rises above the transport maximum, the excess glucose filtered is not reabsorbed and passes into the urine. Therefore, the urinary excretion rate of glucose can be calculated as the filtered load of glucose minus the transport maximum. In this example, the filtered load of glucose is the GFR (150 ml/min) multiplied by the plasma glucose concentration (400 mg/100 ml, or 4 mg/ml), which is equal to 600 mg/min. Because the transport maximum is only 300 mg/min, the rate of glucose excretion would be 600 minus 300 mg/min, or 300 mg/ min.

From the graph, the forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) to the forced vital capacity (FVC) ration (FEV1/FVC) can be calculated (4L/5L = 80%).
A. Estrogen can promote sleep but sleep is not a stimulus for estrogen.Sleep deprivation causes insulin resistance by secreting high cortisol release.
Adolescent >> Children >> Adult
Pulsatile release
Max: GH during sleep (NREM sleep). REM sleep stimulates PRL, LH, FSH. For ACTH and TSH: sleep is inhibitory.
Owing to the pulsatility of GH secretion, measurement of a single random GH level is not useful for the diagnosis or exclusion of acromegaly and does not correlate with disease severity. The diagnosis of acromegaly is confirmed by demonstrating the failure of GH suppression to <0.4 μg/L within 1–2 h of an oral glucose load (75 g).
