Joe was examined by a nurse practitioner. She notes that the wound is approximately 1 cm deep, and there is exposed muscle tissue with areas of apparent tissue death. In addition, Joe's head and neck muscles are in a continuous spasm. They resist passive flexion and extension, and there is increased tone in his muscles of mastication and muscles of facial expression. The findings from the physical exam lead us to think that there may be more to this story than a simple wound infection. The continuous spasm of the muscles of the head, neck, and face indicates something potentially more serious. Remember that the muscular system is responsible for vital functions such as breathing, so any disturbance in skeletal muscle homeostasis must be closely monitored. Which of the following proteins associated with the myofilaments would be most involved in the muscle spasms? A. TropomyosinB. TroponinC. TitanD. Actin

Salmonella typhimurium is a food-borne bacterial pathogen that can cause severe gastrointestinal disease. salmonella is often phagocytosed by macrophages that normally destroy bacterial pathogens, but this bacterium is somehow able to prevent the complete maturation of phagolysosomes. salmonella is able to tolerate the low ph of phagolysosomes, and in fact responds to the drop in ph by secreting toxins that interfere with other cellular responses. which of the following differences would you expect to contribute to the survival of a bacterium within an salmonella-containing phagosome, compared to a healthy phagolysosome? decreased activity of acid hydrolases increased activity of acid hydrolases decreased import of h+ ions increased import of h+ ions my guess is decreased activity of acid hydrolases but i'm not sure.
