Q

what do gap junctions do in cardiac muscle

A

allow impulses to spread quickly bc ions pass

34
Q

why is there so much cardiac muscle

A

to provide ATP for respiration

35
Q

which organelles are packed into cardiac cells

A

mitochondria and myoglobin- unload any oxygen to muscle cells

36
Q

what form do muscle cells take- shape

A

branched

37
Q

is cardiac muscle striated

A

yes

38
Q

are cardiac cells involuntary

A

yes

39
Q

is smooth muscle involuntary

A

yes

40
Q

which part of the PNS innervates SM

A

autonomic

41
Q

is SM striated

A

no

42
Q

is skeletal muscle involuntary

A

no

43
Q

is skeletal muscle striated

A

yes

44
Q

what is bigger myofibril/ muscle fibre

A

muscle fibre

45
Q

does skeletal muscle fatigue

A

yes

46
Q

nuclei of skeletal muscle

A

multinucleated

47
Q

which muscle is striated and stimulated by conscious, vol control

A

skeletal

48
Q

how many muscle fibres in a muscle

A

thousands

49
Q

what attaches muscle to bone

A

tendon

50
Q

are the mitochondria inside the myofibrils

A

no

51
Q

can you see filaments with a light microscope

A

no

52
Q

which filament has heads on it

A

myosin

53
Q

where are myosin tails arranged to point towards

A

the centre of the sarcomere

54
Q

where do the myosin heads point towards/away

A

the sides of the myofilament band, away from M line

55
Q

role of tropomyosin

A

reinforce the structure of actin

56
Q

what can’t adrenaline pass through cell membranes

A

it is hydrophobic therefore

57
Q

why is adrenaline described as a hormone

A

chemical messenger binds to the receptors on the surface of hepatocyte
triggering a chain reaction inside the hepatocyte

58
Q

what is activated when adrenaline binds to the receptor

A

adenylyl cyclase

59
Q

describe the action of adrenaline

A

app rec site
fuses to rec site activating adenylyl cyclase enz
enz conv ATP to cyclic AMP, which acts as a 2nd mess that actvates other enz tht in turn onv glycogen into glucose

60
Q

main function of adrenaline during fof

A

trigger hepatocytes to undergo glycogenolysis to that glucose is released into the blood stream

61
Q

what does the releasing of glucose into the bloodstream allow

A

respiration to increase so more energy is available for muscle contraction

62
Q

how does more glucose in the blood increase respiration

A

.

63
Q

first messenger

A

a hormone that transmits a chemical signal around the body- adrenaline

64
Q

second messanger

A

transmits a chemical signal intracellularly-cyclic AMP

65
Q

suggest what happens to the polysccharides in the hepatocyte as a result of the action of adrenaline

A

glycogen broken down into glucose by hydrolysis

glycogen phosphorylase stimulates conversion of glycogen to glucose

66
Q

describe and explain how the activation of the fof aff voluntary, invol and cardiac muscle

A

.

67
Q

where is adenylyl cyclase present

A

cell membrane

68
Q

what is one cardiac cycle equal to

A

one heart beat

69
Q

myogenic

A

cardiac muscle can initiate its own pacemaker, dx need NS/ES

70
Q

BLTR

A

bicuspid valve left

tricuspid valve right

71
Q

cardiac output

A

stroke volume x heart rate

72
Q

units of CO

A

cm3/min

73
Q

SV units

A

vol

74
Q

HR units

A

bpm

75
Q

stroke volume

A

vol of blood leaving left ventricle w/each beat

76
Q

centres in the medulla oblongata linked to SAN in heart by motor neurones

A

cardiovascular-acceleratory system

cardio-inhibitory system

77
Q

cardiovascular-accelatory system

A

connected by accelatory nerve through sympathetic NS

inc HR and CO

78
Q

cardio-inhibatory system

A

linked by vagus nerve, impluse though parasympathetic NS decreases HR and CO

79
Q

effects of exercise on CO (neg feedback loop)

A

inc metabolic activity, inc co2 conc bc of a.resp, dec blood pH centre in med(cas) inc freq of impulses 2 SAN via symp NS, SAN inc HR, inc blood flow removed co2 quicker, co2 conc returns to optimum

80
Q

why is it essential that HR inc

A

to prov extra ox req for inc respiration

81
Q

what is HR controlled by

A

autonomic NS

82
Q

is HR vol/invol

A

involuntary
