Consider two signaling pathways: A-B-C-D-E and 1-2-3-4-5-6-7. Which response would be representative of a feedforward relay?
A) B stimulates E
B) B stimulates 6
C) D stimulates A
D) 2 stimulates E

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a feedforward relay, a signal in one pathway leads to the activation of another pathway. In this scenario, pathway A-B-C-D-E is the "feedforward" pathway, while pathway 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 is the "output" pathway. Choice A, where B stimulates E, represents a feedforward relay because B in the feedforward pathway activates E in the output pathway.
