Q6.3 Effect on muscle 4 Points If the voltage-gated calcium channel found at the synapse between neurons and skeletal muscles were disabled, which of these events would not occur? Choose all that apply. Acetylcholine release Action potential in the motor neuron Action potential in the muscle Calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum Cross-bridge cycling Muscle contraction Q6.4 Drug 10 Points These cancerous cells express a protein called PDL-1. PDL-1 binds to a molecule on T cells called PD-1. When PD-1 and PDL-1 bind, it causes the T cell to not be activated. The drug atezolizumab prevents PD-1 from binding to PDL-1. Will this drug help treat the SCLC? Justify your response. (roughly 1-3 sentences)

Which of the following actions occurs first during muscle contraction? Calcium ions bind to troponin, calcium is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, the action potential travels down the T-tubule, motor neurons release Ach.
