Responda
Usually released into the portal system, but not in some animals (rats, mice).
Released into the portal system, but only in some animals (rats, mice).
Questão 7
Questão
A major similarity between organisms is that GnIH is always localised in the:
Responda
Dorsomedial nucleus of the hypothalamus
Dorsomedial nucleus of the hippocampus
Dorsal horn of the hypothalamus
Dorsal horn of the hippocampus
Questão 8

Questão 10
Questão
Advantages of using LAB AND DOMESTICATED animals as models include:
(select all that apply)
Responda
Well-adapted to labs
Detailed knowledge of genetic background
Transgenic manipulation allows specific focus
Short generation time (longitudinal studies simple and comprehensive)
Questão 11
Questão
An example of a “Wild” species used as a model is the Tree shrew. What is it used to model?
Responda
PTSD
Alzheimer’s
Cystic Fibrosis

Questão 12
Questão
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is characterised by progressive loss of cholinergic neurons projecting from the basal forebrain to which areas:
(select all that apply)
Responda
Cortical
Hippocampal
Hypothalamic
Questão 13
Questão
The two main histopathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) are:
(select the two that apply)
Responda
Extracellular senile plaques containing amyloid-beta (Aβ) which is formed after sequential cleavage of Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) by the catalytic activity of β-secretases and γ-secretases
Intracellular Neurofibrillary Tangles (NFTs)
Questão 14
Questão
True or false: A disadvantage of using transgenic models of AD is that many are “icon” species and therefore politically unsuitable.

True
False
