In most cells, insulin stimulates uptake of glucose by

a. penetrating the cellular membranes itself, and thereby providing a pathway for glucose to enter the cells. b. activating insulin receptors, which are themselves glucose transporters. c. stimulating the recruitment of glucose transporters to the membrane, which in turn facilitate the import of glucose. d. activating the transcription and translation of glucose transporter-genes, increasing their expression. e. altering the ratio of intracellular sodium concentrations to extracellular sodium concentrations in a way that favors co-transport of glucose and sodium.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the better known diseases resulting from demyelination of axons (in MS, only CNS axons are affected). Some of the earliest symptoms of the disease are difficulty in focusing the eyes, such as in reading, and difficulty in maintaining balance, and frequently not being able to make adjustments in posture to avoid falling. How do these symptoms "fit" with what you

know about nerve impulses, myelin sheaths, and the location of gated ion channels in the membranes of axons? What will be an ideal response?
