Describe a hypothetical situation in which two isolated human populations evolve very different muscle fiber composition
In other words, what environmental conditions or food-gathering strategies might cause a prevalence of one fiber type (fast-twitch versus slow-twitch) to be more adaptive than another? What will be an ideal response?
Airway passages have smooth muscle cells that are unique in that they have two receptor sites on their outer membrane. One receptor site accepts ACh as the neurotransmitter. When excited it causes the smooth muscle to contract. The second site accepts NE and the inhibitory effect is that the ACh dilates the airway.
What will be an ideal response?
Ion currents can be found in all vertebrates (eukaryotes) but not in prokaryotes
