The thin filament sites remain open to the binding and stroke of the thick filament and there would be no muscle relaxation without the reuptake of Ca 2+ so the thin filament sites are closed.

Do insoluble calcium compounds increase the pH of acidic soils eg calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate?

Carbonate will increase soil pH value, because it reacts with acid, but sulfate will not affect the pH.


What is called calcium rigor?

Calcium rigor is a condition where excessive levels of calcium in the body lead to muscle stiffness and rigidity. This can affect both smooth and skeletal muscle function, impacting movement and causing discomfort. Proper calcium regulation is essential for normal muscle function.


Does the mass of calcium oxide effect the temperature rise when calcium oxide reacts with water?

No, the mass of calcium oxide does not affect the temperature rise when it reacts with water. The temperature rise is determined by the amount of energy released during the exothermic reaction between calcium oxide and water, which is constant regardless of the mass of calcium oxide used.


Does the parathyroid affect the memory?

The parathyroid gland primarily regulates calcium levels in the body and does not directly affect memory. However, severe imbalances in calcium levels, such as very high or low levels due to parathyroid disorders, can potentially impact cognitive function and memory.


What major plasma protein is involved in the interpretation of how calcium is measured?

The major plasma protein involved in the interpretation of how calcium is measured is albumin. Albumin binds to calcium in the blood, and changes in albumin levels can affect the total calcium concentration. Therefore, total serum calcium measurements may need to be adjusted for albumin levels to accurately assess the biologically active (ionized) calcium. This adjustment is crucial for diagnosing and managing conditions related to calcium metabolism.

If Calcium concentrations were low muscle contractions might fail because?

It is the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum that then binds with actin-myosin ATPase to cause contractions. Low calcium would first affect the release of acetylcholine from the pre-synaptic terminus.

What neurotransmitter does Prozac affect?

Prozac (fluoxetine) is an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor). It targets reuptake channels for the neurotransmitter serotonin, preventing serotonin from reentering the presynaptic neurons to be removed from the synaptic cleft, thus forcing an accumulation of serotonin and repeated triggering of the serotonin "signal" in the postsynaptic neurons.

Muscle fatigue results from relative deficit of ATP.calium does not affect muscle fatigue


How do drugs affect the process of synaptic transmission?

They can act in a number of ways, both presynaptically and postsynaptically. They can affect how vescicles release neurotransmitters, how neurotransmitters are cleaved/reuptake, they can block receptors, destroy receptors, agonistically bind to receptors which mimics the neurotransmitter. These are a few.


How does pH affect the solubility of calcium carbonate?

The solubility of calcium carbonate decreases as pH increases. This is because calcium carbonate is more soluble in acidic conditions and less soluble in basic conditions.
