Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Platelet agonists include thromboxane A2 (TXA2), ADP, and thrombin. Each of them binds to its transmembrane receptor, and platelet activation is the result.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The dense tubular system is a condensed remnant of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. It sequesters Ca++ and bears a series of enzymes that support platelet activation. It is the control center for platelet activation.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
