Paper Summary:

This paper looks at five different medical topics: prostate cancer, diabetes mellitus, asthma, muscle contraction physiology and biochemistry, and blood clotting physiology and biochemistry. The paper discusses the characteristics and functions associated with each of these topics.

From the Paper:

"Muscle contraction is accomplished by the contact between nerves and muscles at neuromuscular junctions, which act much like the synapses between neurons. The nerve impulse arrives at the end bulb of the neuron and chemical transmitters are released which diffuse across the neuromuscular cleft. The transmitter molecules react with receptor sites on the muscle membrane and increases the membrane permeability to sodium ions. Sodium then diffuses into the muscle cell and the membrane potential becomes less negative."
