Which of the following statements accurately describes a feature of temperature sensation by the nervous system?

#Unit 7. System Physiology – Animal
  1. Cold receptors continue to be activated even if skin temperature is lowered well below its freezing point
  2. Both cold and warm receptors each have very specific, nonoverlapping ranges of temperature sensitivity
  3. Warm and cold receptors respond to both steady state temperatures and to changes in temperature
  4. Temperature receptor function is the result of ion conduction changes and not changes in their metabolic rate

A nucleoside phosphorylase:

1. cleaves a nucleoside with the production of ribose 1-phosphate.

If a cell has an adequate supply of adenine nucleotides but requires more guanine nucleotides for protein synthesis:

1. Glutamine-PRPP amidotransferase will not be fully inhibited.
2. AMP will be a feedback inhibitor of the condensation of IMP with aspartate.
3. ATP will stimulate the production of GMP from IMP.
4. ATP will inhibit nucleoside diphosphate reductase.
