Questions
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

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

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
A Transverse tubules shorten, the myofibrils and sarcoplasmic reticulum close together
B Thin filaments and thick filaments of the sarcomere shorten
C Light chains dissociate from the heavy chains of myosin

Answer:H bands and I bands of the sarcomere shorten because the thin filaments and thick filaments side past each other
5 Lysis of a fibrin clot:
