- Question
If a disease of the blood vessels caused the endothelial cells of the vessel to die, what effect would that have on the cellular activities associated with vasodilation?
Options- A. Nitric oxide would no longer be produced
- B. Smooth muscle cells could not be made to relax
- C. It would be more difficult to increase blood flow and reduce blood pressure
- D. All of the above
- Correct Answer
- All of the above
- 1. Chronic granulomatous disease results from a failure to perform oxidative burst. This deficiency would be most likely to interfere with
Options- A. CTL killing of viruses
- B. dendritic cell activation to become a mature APC
- C. infected cell processing of virus peptides
- D. macrophage intracellular killing of bacteria Discuss
- 2. What is the name of the protein signaling molecule that alters glucose uptake, and where would its receptors be located?
Options- A. Insulin; many different cell types that use glucose for fuel
- B. Insulin; beta cells of the pancreas
- C. PDGF; the blood
- D. NGF; the nerves involved in simple reflexes Discuss
- 3. In DNA double helix, the two DNA chains are held together by
Options- A. covalent bonds between the pair of bases

- D. none of the above Discuss
- 4. A human cDNA library
Options- A. contains DNA for specific human proteins
- B. contains DNA for virtually all of the human proteins in vectors
- C. cannot be used to obtain human genes because it would be radioactive
- D. none of the above Discuss
- 5. Why is it that inhaling nitric oxide reduces blood pressure only in the lung tissue and not elsewhere in the body*?
Options- A. Because other body tissues use a different signaling molecule
- B. Because nitric oxide cannot cross cell membranes and enter the blood
