Choose two of the following false or misleading
statements and make the appropriate corrections.
Be sure to write the number of the questions you
choose.

1. In a person with acromegaly, high levels of GH,
   IGF-1, and GHRH would indicate primary
   hyposecretion.
2. Endemic goiter is an example of secondary
   hyposecretion.
3. During times of stress, elevated levels of
   cortisol enhance inflammatory and immune
   responses.
4. Prolonged treatment with glucocorticoids can lead
   to atrophy of the adrenal medulla.
5. Pithing the brain of a frog eliminates the wiping
   reflex.

Why are NSAIDs preferable to Glucocorticoids for
treating inflammation andarthritis?

• Consider the HPA axis and the effects of
  long-term dosing with glucocorticoids on ACTH
  secretion and the Adrenal Cortex.

If Nodes of Ranvier are 1 mm apart How many
Schwann cells to myelinate the 2 meters of a
sensory axon from hoof to dorsal root ganglion
near spinal cord? How many oligodendries to
myelinate the 2 meters of the sensory axon
ascending in spinal cord to brain?

Axonal Transport
S 13

• Orthograde Anterograde from soma to terminals
• slow1-2 mm/day
• fast ..200-400 mm/day (kinesin)
• Retrograde from terminals to soma
• fast.200-400 mm/day (dynein)
• What gets transported and why?
• Axonal transport is too slow for rapid signaling,
  so
