Answer: 1) Activation of glycogen phosphorylase by epinephrine
Explanation: Epinephrine acts on the beta-adrenergic receptors of liver and muscle cells, which activate protein kinase. This kinase then phosphorylates and activates glycogen phosphorylase, an enzyme that breaks down glycogen into glucose-1-phosphate, which is rapidly converted to glucose-6-phosphate for use in glycolysis or for release into the bloodstream to maintain glucose levels during stress.

An irreversible index measures conditions that will not change over time, such as dental caries (decayed, missing, filled teeth).A reversible index measures conditions that can change or be reversed, such as the presence of plaque or gingivitis.The score for an irreversible index remains constant on subsequent examinations because the condition being measured is permanent.

Obturation of root canal should achieve all the mentioned objectives: 1) Tug-back - indicates proper fit and resistance form of the master cone, 2) Hermetic seal - prevents microleakage and bacterial penetration, 3) Fluid-free seal - eliminates pathways for tissue fluids that can support bacterial growth, 4) Additionally should provide: complete filling of canal system, biocompatibility, and dimensional stability. These objectives work together to ensure long-term success by eliminating bacterial contamination and preventing reinfection of the periapical tissues.
