If a hydrophilic hormone binds to a G-protein linked receptor, determine which of the following intracellular events are possible to occur? Make sure to give reason for your answer. a. cAMP and IP3 are produced but the Ca+ are released from the endoplasm reticulum where they are stored b. IP3 can produce cAMP c. cAMP will produce IP3 d. The active receptor can also activate the phosphoinositol pathway and produce IP3 as second messenger e.

The heart is a multicellular organ consisting of endothelial cells, myocytes, fibroblasts, and inflammatory cells. Communication between these different cell types is crucial for regulation of normal cardiac function. Based on your understanding, determine which type of cell communication (autocrine, paracrine, neuronal, endocrine) will be observed between these different types of cells in the heart? Give reason for your answer.
