Q

structure of sarcomere

A

remember Mom is hugged by Hbibi who’s hugged by AbdelKader and everything that’s not abdelKader is I and Z is the other line parallel to mom

Q

what happens on a molecular level during refractory period

A

ion channels are closed so inactivated so AP cannot be generated.

Q

how does calcium affect cardiac cells during contraction?

What process terminates contraction

A

calcium channels along with Na channels open during contraction.
calcium goes in.
increase in intracellular calcium will increase release of Ca from the SR.
Ca will bind toponin and form the CAtroponin myosin light chain kinase which will phosphorylate myosin heads. this will allow for contraction of the sarcomere
contraction terminates when Ca is released from the sarcomere and is reabsorbed by the SR.

Q

how does the SNS module heart function

A
increase heart rate
increases force of contraction
increases BP
secretes ADRENALINE
acts on beta 1 receptors

Q

whats the function of dense bodies

A

in smooth muscle cells, dense bodies help anchor thin and thick filaments.
functional equivalent of Z line.

16
Q

what are some structural features of smooth muscle fibres

A

thin and thick filaments attached via dense bodies.

intermediate filaments allow for propagation of force generated by contraction .

17
Q

how do smooth muscle fibres run

A

obliquely

18
Q

how do smooth muscles attach to one another and to the PM

A

electrically via gap junctions

mechanically join PM at junctional complexes

19
Q

where is smooth muscle found

A

in walls of arteries
uterus
urinary bladder
wall of visceral organs

20
Q

what do action potentials on smooth muscle fibres look like compared to cardiac muscle

A

Cm: single spikes separated by plateau
SM: slow waves with peaks

21
Q

duration of AP in smooth muscle vs skeletal duration

A

smooth 10-15ms

skeletal 2 ms

22
Q

what ion Chanel does depolarisation mostly need

A

calcium

23
Q

which channel open faster Na or Ca

A

Na

24
Q

What are varisocisites and where are they found

A

around smooth msucle
they contain neurotransmitter that they release and are picked up by receptors widely distributed along smooth muscle fibre

25
Q

what are the two types of smooth muscle cell organisation

A

multi unit smooth muscle:
each fibre is innervated independently from its neighoubr
iris of the eye, large blood vessels

single unit smooth muscle:
muscle fibres form a network and innervation of one propagates the innervation to others
uterus
innervation of visceral muscle gut. Sauf heart

26
Q

how does calcium affect smooth muscle cells during contraction?

What process terminates contraction

A

calcium channels along with Na channels open during contraction.
calcium goes in.
increase in intracellular calcium will increase release of Ca from the SR.
Ca can also go in if an agonist to LCCC binds and releases IP3 which triggers release of Ca from SR
Ca will bind almodulim and form the CAcalmodulinmyosin light chain kinase which will phosphorylate myosin heads. this will allow for contraction of the sarcomere

thin filaments slide under thick filament and intermediate filaments propagate force of contraction

contraction terminates when Ca is released from the sarcomere and is reabsorbed by the SR.

27
Q

how is vascular muscle cell controlled in terms of PNS and SNS

A

SNS leads to vasoconstriction of smooth muscle
smaller vessels.
via alpha 1 adrenergic receptors (SNS releases adrenaline)

PNS leads to vasodilation of smooth muscle
larger vessels.
via beta 2 receptors (PNS releases acetylcholine)

28
Q

how is bronchial muscle cell controlled in terms of PNS and SNS

A

SNS leads to bronchodilation
larger bronchi
via beta 2 receptors

PNS leads to vasodilation of smooth muscle
smaller bronchi
via M3 muscarinic receptors (PNS releases acetylcholine)

29
Q

treatment for too much sympathetic effect on bronchi

A

SABA

LABA

30
Q

treatment for too much parasympathetic effect on bronchi

A

SAMA

LAMA
