(1) Platelet aggregation:
[A] is initiated at the site of an injury by conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin
[B] is inhibited in uninjured blood vessels by the secretion of prostacyclin by intact vascular endothelium
[C] causes morphological changes and a release of the vasodilator serotonine
[D] is inhibited by the release of ADP and thromboxane A2
Answer: is inhibited by the release of ADP and thromboxane A2
(2) The cones of the retina:
[A] are responsible for colour vision
[B] are much more numerous than rods
[C] have red, blue and green light- sensitive pigments that differ because of small difference in the retinal prosthetic group
[D] do not use transducin in signal transduction
Answer: are responsible for colour vision
(3) The nerve impulse that initiates muscular contraction
[A] begins with the binding of acetyl choline to receptors in the sarcoplasmic reticulum
[B] causes both the plasma membrane and the transverse tubules to undergo hyperpolariation
[C] causes opening of calcium channels which lead to an increase in calcium contreation within the sarcomere
[D] prevents sodium entering the sarcomere
Answer: causes opening of calcium channels which lead to an increase in calcium contreation within the sarcomere
(4) When a muscle contracts, the
