P-proteins from the genus Cucurbita consist of two major proteins: PP1, the phloem filament protein, and PP2, the phloem lectin. Both PP1 and PP2 are thought to be synthesized in_______A___________and transported via the_______B_________to the_______C______, where they associate to form P-protein filaments and P-protein bodies.

Following statements are regarding to the heat production by the activation of sympathetic nervous system.

A. Activation is stimulation of β receptors in brown fat, which increases metabolic rate and heat production.

B. Activation is stimulation of α2 receptors in brown fat, which increases metabolic rate and heat production.

C. Stimulation of α1 receptors in vascular smooth muscle of skin blood vessels, producing vasoconstriction. Vasoconstriction reduces blood flow to the surface of the skin.

D. Stimulation of α1 receptors in vascular smooth muscle of skin blood vessels, producing vasodilation. Vasodilation reduces blood flow to the surface of the skin.

Following statements are regarding to Shivering, which is the most potent mechanism for increasing heat production in the body. 

A. Cold environmental temperatures activate centers in the posterior hypothalamus during shivering, which then activate the α and γ motoneurons innervating skeletal muscle. 

B. Shivering involves skeletal muscle contracts rhythmically, generating heat and raising body temperature.

C. Shivering involves stimulation of Na+-K+ ATPase and raising body temperature.

D. Shivering involves stimulation of β receptors in brown fat, which increases metabolic rate and heat production.

#Unit 7. System Physiology – Animal

Following statements are regarding to the regulation of body temperature.

A. The temperature-regulating center is located in the anterior hypothalamus. This center receives information about environmental temperature from thermoreceptors in the skin and about core temperature from thermoreceptors in the anterior hypothalamus itself.

B. The temperature-regulating center is located in the posterior hypothalamus. This center receives information about environmental temperature from thermoreceptors in the posterior hypothalamus itself and about core temperature from thermoreceptors in the skin.

C. If core temperature is below the set-point temperature, then heat-generating and heat-retaining mechanisms are activated.

D. If core temperature is above the set-point temperature, then heat-dissipating mechanisms are activated.

E. If core temperature is below the set-point temperature, then heat-dissipating mechanisms are activated.

F. If core temperature is above the set-point temperature, then heat-generating and heat-retaining mechanisms are activated.

Which of the following combination is correct?
