In the figure at the left, the blood vessel indicated by the arrow is a) Carrying hormones from the general b) Carrying hormones from the c) Carrying hormones from the pituitary d) Carrying hormones from the thalamus circulation to the pituitary hypothalamus to the pituitary to the hypothalamus to the hypothalamus 61. In the figure of a pancreatic beta cell at elage grlrest shown at the left, an incre cheneel extracellular potassium levels above normal could result in: Glacose A) Decreased insulin secretion B) Increased ATP synthesis C) Hyperpolarization D) Increased insulin secretion E) C and D BETA CELL Iesuin in a) Bela cell t rest

Explanation / Answer

60) b) carrying hormones from hypothalamus to pituitary. hypothalamic-hypophysealportal veins are the blood vessels which carry hormones from hypothalamus to pituitary.

61) d) increased insulin secretion. decreased extracellulart levels lead to hyperpolarisation.Potassium permeability is critically involved in the regulation of B cell membrane potential and insulin secretion.
