Q

Describe hypertrophy of the heart during HF

A

its when the heart muscle is overworked causing the muscle to grow. This growth leaves less space for blood flow

Q

describe the 6 steps involved in the excitation-contraction coupling in the cardiac muscle using the following terms; SA-node, AP, depolarize, voltage-gated Ca channel, Ca release channel, myocardial cell, cytoplasm, SR, contraction, relaxation, Ca-ATPase pump, sarcomere, Ca.

A
  1. the SA node triggers an AP causing a depolarization
  2. the voltage-gated Ca channels open allowing for an influx of
    Ca into the cytoplasm of the myocardial cell
  3. The Ca release channels open w/in the SR allowing for the efflux
    of Ca from the interior of the SR to the cytoplasm of the myocardial cell
  4. the Ca binds to the sarcomere stimulating a contraction
  5. Ca-ATPase pumps Ca back into the SR
  6. the myocardial cell relaxes

20
Q

a) What is the purpose of titin proteins?
b) What is the significance of them being elastic?

A

a) they are elastic proteins that anchor the myosin filaments to the z-disc in order to stabilize them.
b) it allows the muscle to return to its original length after being stretched

21
Q

We know that during contractions sarcomeres shorten. How is it possible for the H-band to shorten if the A-band doesn’t?

A

the shortening is from the sliding of the filaments causing the H-band to shorten as more overlap of the filaments occurs leaving less space where only myosin filaments are present (H-band)

22
Q

During the sliding filament theory, what happens to the following
a) A-bands
b) H-bands
c) I-bands

A

a) they move closer together
b) shortens -> disappears
c) shortens

23
Q

What is the purpose of the angular heads at the end of the myosin proteins

A

they interact w/ the overlapping actin and pull it in order to induce a contraction (sliding filament)

24
Q

Describe the following
a) tropomyosin
b) troponin

A

a) proteins attached to the actin and cover myosin binding sites while the sarcomere is relaxed
b) 3 subunit complex attached to the tropomyosin and acts as a Ca binding site that will remove tropomyosin when active

25
Q

describe the steps involved in the sliding filament theory of contraction using the following terms; rest/relax, ADP, Pi, ATP, myosin, actin, head, SR, troponin, tropomyosin, Ca, power stroke, contract, slide

A
  1. resting myosin contains bound ADP and PI
  2. the Ca released by the SR binds to troponin
  3. conformational change in tropomyosin revealing the myosin binding site on the actin
  4. the myosin head interacts w/ the binding site on the actin causing it to release the Pi
  5. this induces a conformational change producing a power stroke allowing for the filaments to slide across each other
  6. ADP is released allowing for an ATP to bind to the myosin head causing it to detach from the actin
  7. the ATP hydrolysis to ADP and Pi returning to its relaxed form
26

fill in the image using the following
a) ADP + Pi
b) myosin

37
Q

Describe coronary artery disease

A

a heart disease that involves a build-up of plaque in one or more coronary arteries narrowing the radium of the BV and reducing the amount of blood that can reach the heart

38
Q

What are coronary arteries?

A

the major arteries involved in supplying the heart w/ blood

39
Q

Describe the difference b/w a heart attack and angina

A

unlike a heart attack, the coronary arteries in someone w/ angina are only partially blocked and thus can be treated with vasodilators

40
Q

What is the significance of nitroglycerin wrt angina

A

it’s a vasodilator that can improve the blood flow in the partly restricted coronary arteries allowing for the heart to get enough blood supply

41
Q

What is atherosclerosis?

A

a build-up of plaque in the arterial wall

42
Q

What causes a myocardial infarction

A

heart attack = when the arteries are completely blocked preventing blood from reaching the heart

43
Q

when the heart pumps inefficiently and can on longer meet the body’s need for blood. The _____ are often to blame for the insufficient flow
a) arteries
b) veins
c) atria
d) ventricles
e) more than one above

A

d

44
Q

Describe the following
