the "current" value is larger than the "must" value
the fever causes the increase of the "must" set point in the hypothalamus
the fever causes the increase of the "must" set point in the hypothalamus
112
What occurs at the end of a fever?
the "must" value returns back to the normal level and cooling mechanisms start
the "must" value of hypothalamus increases
heating mechanisms are activated
shivering is experienced
the "must" value returns back to the normal level and cooling mechanisms start
113
What kind of morpho-functional changes occur during cold acclimation?
secretion of glucocorticoids
the fur/feathers become stronger, the heat insulation thickens
vasodilatator mechanism activates
brown adipose tissue atrophies
the fur/feathers become stronger, the heat insulation thickens
114
Which is not true for heat acclimation?
thickness of the heat insulators decrease
vasodilator mechanism activates
function of breathing muscles decreases
sweat gland activates
function of breathing muscles decreases
115
Which substance ensures uncoupling during cellular thermogenesis?
special 23000kDa mass glucoproteid
cAMP
FFA
thermogenin
thermogenin (UCP 1)
116
Which hormones influence uncoupling?
thyroxine, epinephrine
glucocorticoid, epinephrine
norepinephrine, STH
FSH, STH
thyroxine, epinephrine
117
What is the function of thermogenin during the uncoupling mechanism?
it increases the catabolism of FFA
it allows protons to flow through the mitochondrial membranes without producing ATP
it inhibits the catabolism of ATP
it directly increases glucose uptake by the cells
it allows protons to flow through the mitochondrial membranes without producing ATP
