Answer:
1. dendrite = directs impulses toward the soma.
2. axon = conducts impulses toward the synaptic terminal.
3. perikaryon = region surrounding nucleus.
4. collateral branches = main branches of an axon.
5. synaptic terminal = enlarged end of an axon.
6. synaptic vesicles = contains neurotransmitters.
7. axon hillock = connects the cell body and axon.
8. Nissl bodies = clusters of RER and free ribosomes.
9. telodendria = fine branches of an axon.
10. myelinated internode = part of axon covered by Schwann cell.
11. neurilemma = Schwann cell's plasma membrane.
12. axolemma = membrane of the axon.
13. astrocyte = Forms the blood-brain barrier.
14. cell body = soma.
Answer: HDLs are antiatherogenic lipoproteins....
Explanation:
The anti-atherogenic effect of HDL occurs, above all, because of its properties to carry lipids, mainly cholesterol esters from peripheral tissues to the liver, which is known as reverse cholesterol transport(RCT). However, other protective actions of HDL, in addition to RCT, have been described in several experimental models and epidemiological studies. These actions include antioxidant protection, mediation of cholesterol efflux, inhibition of the expression of cell adhesion, leukocyte activation, regulation of blood coagulation and platelet activity.
Answer:
A. True
Explanation:
They inhibit ACE, there is no conversion to Ang II, the activation of bradykinins is inhibited and they accumulate creating adverse effects. Vasodilation of the efferent arteriole occurs in the kidney, intraglomerular pressure is decreased and secondary damage caused by hypertension can be improved.
