Problem 1: Describe the steps in endochondral ossification. What is the template for this type of ossification and where does it take place? What might prevent this process from taking place? Explain.
Problem 2: Describe two mechanisms that will cause a muscle to relax or stop contraction. Be specific in describing the mechanism taking place.
Problem 3: Mutations to the dystrophin gene causes mis-functional dystrophin. Dystrophin may have a role in glucose transport across the plasma membrane. What is the mechanism of this pathology and what is the consequence to the skeletal muscle fiber?
