The following 3 questions are based on the data in the table below.  This data refers to endothelial cell (EC) and smooth muscle cell (SMC) activity of a vein that is transplanted to a location subjected to arterial pressure.  h is vessel wall thickness, a is radius, σθθ is wall circumferential stress.

To find the torque needed to turn the upper plate, one would use the following equation:

Why is the continuum assumption crucial for the derivation of equations in material mechanics?

What coordinate system is preferred for analyzing pressure in an artery in three dimensions?

Briefly describe how oubain treatment could impact glucose transport across the gut. In your answer, be sure to indicate what oubain targets and how that disruption impacts glucose transport.

Indicate TRUE or FALSE for each of the following statements regarding the protists andor metazoans.[A] Protists lack membrane-bound organelles.[B] Metazoans are multicellular while protists are predominantly unicellular.[C] All metazoans and protists are eukaryotic.

When visualized using the electron microscope the appearance of ‘rough’ endoplasmic reticulum results from the presence of which protein complexes?

The activity of each enzyme below is important for regulating smooth muscle cell activity in the circulatory system. For each enzyme, indicate if the specified mutation will lead to vasodilatation or vasoconstriction.Enzyme (mutation)A. Guanyl cyclase (cannot bind GTP): [A]B. Phosphodiesterase (cannot bind cGMP): [B]C. Nitric oxide synthase (cannot bind arginine): [C]

Briefly describe the underlying defect that occurs in epidermolysis bullosa patients that causes their skin to be more prone to blistering. For full credit, your description must include the name of the mutant protein, its normal function in cells, and how mutations in the protein can result in blistering.
