19. Smooth M. Phys Flashcards
How do skeletal M and smooth M vary in regards to histology
- Sk. M - large, multinucleated, striate cells
- Sm. M- small, single nucleus w no striations
How do skeletal M and smooth M vary in regards to the SR
- Sk M - large well developed; SR w/ triad well developed T-tubules
- Sm M - poorly developed SR & t-tubules; membrane contain calveolae
How do skeletal M and smooth M vary in regards to thin filaments
-Sk. M - actin, tropomyosin, troponin (less thin filaments than Sm. M)
Sm. M - actin, tropomyosin & CALMODULIN
How do skeletal M and smooth M vary in regards to thick filaments
-Sk. M - myosin, ATPase activity = faster (more in number than Sm. M) -
Sm. M - myosin, ATPase activity slower, myosin light chains prominent
How do skeletal M and smooth M vary in regards to innervation
- Sk. M - alpha- MN
- Sm. M - multiple types (intrinsic & ANS)
How do skeletal M and smooth M vary in regards to NTs
- Sk. M - Ach - excitatory
- Sm. M - Ach (inhibitory) & NE/Epi (excitatory)
How do skeletal M and smooth M vary in regards to transmission specialization
- Sk. M - NMJ
- Sm. M - varicosities
How do skeletal M and smooth M vary in regards to NT receptors
- Sk. M - nAChR
- Sm. M - mAChR, adrenergic, etc
How do skeletal M and smooth M vary in regards to other forms of activation
- Sk. M - none
- Sm. M - blood-borne, paracrine, intrinsic
How do skeletal M and smooth M vary in regards to AP
- Sk. M - required
- Sm. M - not required! - pace maker activity
How do skeletal M and smooth M vary in regards to source of Ca
- Sk. M - release from SR
- Sm. M - mostly from ECF influx & some from SR
How do skeletal M and smooth M vary in regards to role of Ca
- Sk. M - bind troponin C
- Sm. M - bind calmodulin —> activate MLCK
How do skeletal M and smooth M vary in regards to how actin and myosin bind
- Sk. M - tropomyosin moved by troponin
- Sm. M - phosphorylate myosin light chain via kinase
How do skeletal M and smooth M vary in regards to relaxation
- Sk. M - remove Ca from troponin
- Sm. M - activate light chain PHOSPHATASE - dephos —> inactivate
What does it mean to be a multi-unit Sm M
- fibers operate individually, innervated by single N with multiple varicosities
- for fine tuning
What is a unitary Sm M
Where are they located
- visceral Sm M or syncytial
- work together as a unit
- cell mems adhere & contain gap jxns
- in GI (help move food), bile duct, uterus
