The term carotid means “to put to sleep,” implying that, if the carotidarteries are occluded for even a short time, the patient can loseconsciousness (go to sleep). The blood supply to the brain is extremelyimportant to brain function. Elimination of this supply for even arelatively short time can result in permanent brain damage because thebrain is dependent on oxidative metabolism and quickly malfunctionsin the absence of oxygen. What is the physiological significance ofarteriosclerosis, which slowly reduces blood flow through the carotidarteries?
ndicate whether each of the following statements is true or false. If false, correct the statement or provide a briefexplanation for why it is false.d. Epinephrine stimulates breakdown of glycogen in muscles when there is an immediate needfor energy by muscle cells.e. Glucagon stimulates glycogenolysis to maintain the blood glucose concentration.f. With high [carbohydrate] levels, excess glucose (after glycogen storage has reached amaximum) is converted to fat.g. The high potential electrons of NADH enter the respiratory chain at NADH-Q reductase.h. Ubiquinol (QH2) is also the entry point for electrons from NADH of flavoproteins.i. Cytochrome reductase catalyzes the transfer of electrons from cytochrome c to O2.
