Q

What are the 5x steps to Nerve Synapses/AP Transmission?

A
  1. Nerve impulse travels down
  2. Presynaptic neuron’s membrane channels Ca2+ change structure due to the change in voltage. This opens the voltage gated Ca2+ channels allowing Ca2+ influx
  3. Influx of Ca2+ promotes the neurotransmitter containing vesicles to empty into the synaptic cleft. Done by fusing with the membrane and released the neurotransmitters. Fast diffusion of neurotransmitters.
  4. the neurotransmitters bind to the ligand gated Na+ channels on the postsynaptic neuron’s membrane. Opens the channels. Na+ passes into the Postsynaptic neuron
  5. Change in voltage, conducts a nerve impulse down the post synaptic neuron
    - happens with BIH a 2nd neuron and/or another tissue to change their function/action (e.g. muscle relation/contraction)

A

Local Hormone
Autocrine hormone is produced by own cell and acts back on itself/its own cell, as the Autocrine cells is its Own target cell, with its own specific autocrine target cell receptor
Affects the cells function

87
Q

What sort of system is the control of hormone release?

A

Inducible system

organs respond to change

88
Q

What 5x major steps does the control of hormone release involve?

A
  1. Synthesis -> storage -> release (hormone producing cell)
    –>
  2. Blood stream (transport/dispersion)
    –>
  3. Desired response (Target cell with a Specific hormone receptor. No receptor=no affect=no response/behavioural change)
    –>
    4a. Potential for Hormone Disposal (breakdown + secretion) - reduces the amount of hormones in circulation
    –>
    4b. Feedback signal (usually Negative -ve) -“Yes I HAVE responded. STOP making more hormones”
    Note: Longer time course of response (seconds or minutes) vs millisecond ms autonomic response)
89
Q

What is the rate of response in the Autonomic system?

A

ms

very rapid / fast

90
Q

What are the 2x exemplary clinical conditions of an effected autonomic and endocrine system?

A
  1. Cholera - endocrine - chronic over activation of Hormonal system
  2. Raynaud disease - maladaptive -excess/long term activation of the sympathetic system - illustrates the importance of down regulation
91
Q

What are the key features of the clinical implication of Cholera?

A

Endocrine system
Cholera is the Chronic Activation of the Hormonal system
1. Bacterium of cholera (common in the tropics) produces a toxin (Choleratoxin) which gets into the Crypts between the Intestinal villi of the Small intestine
2. The cholera toxin Binds irreversible to the normally inducible hormone receptor’s G-protein, in the epithelial cells lining your intestine
3. Locks the normally inducible G protein into an activated state
4. Increased cAMP second messenger activation (which is normally just activated under the influence of various hormones)
5. Pumps Cl- Chloride ions Out of the body/bloodstream into the Intestinal Lumen
6. Water H2O Follows the Cl- and flows out into the intestinal Lumen too (to maintain Osmolarity)
7. Chronic Diarrhoea
-Normally have hormones activating and deactivating this pathway
-but irreversible binding of bacteria’s toxin to G protein cases chronic over activation –> chronic diarrhoea (runny poos)

92
Q

What are the key features of the clinical implication of Raynaud Disease?

A

Autocrine system
Excessive/too long/prolonged activation of the sympathetic system stimulation
(excess associated response of XMX exercise, emotion (STRESS), excitement)
Occurs due to 2x reasons:
Emotional stress / exposure to Cold
Results in chronic vasoconstriction
-because as part of the alarm response/sympathetic activity there is decreased blood in the periphery, pushing blooding our internal structures (centre)
Constricts the Peripheral Capillaries - so the blood doesn’t flow to the periphery capillaries at all
Extremities (fingers and toes) because ISCHAEMIC and COLD to touch
ISCHEMIA is the Lack of Blood supply
Lack/No Blood/ Oxygen and Nutrients into the extremity tissues
No co2 ir waste products out
fingers and toes are cold to touch due to no blood which carries the Body Temperatures
-shows the importance of Down-regulation, as to not keep under the stress response for too long

93
Q

What are the 2x things which can cause Raynaud Disease?

A
  1. emotional Stress (excess sympathetic emotion association skin vasoconstriction)
  2. Exposure to Cold
94
Q

What are the 2x consequences of Raynaud disease?

A
  1. Ischemia in Extremities- Lack of blood supply - no o2 or nutrients in and no co2 or waste products out
  2. Cold Extremities - as no body temperature as no blood
95
Q

What are 6x examples of Lipid soluble hormones?

A
  1. Steroid hormones
    - a. cortisol
    - b. anoligens
    - c. aldosterone
  2. Thyroid Hormones
  3. Nitrous Oxide
96
Q

What are the 4x main steps of the mechanism of action of Lipid soluble hormones?

A

Must have a Soluble Transport Protein

  1. Lipid soluble hormone diffuses into the cell across the Phospholipid bilayer
  2. Activated receptor-hormone-complex alters gene expression - trueness specific genes of the DNA one/off via Transcription making the mRNA
    - Has to be a specific hormone receptor in the nucleus, otherwise no response
  3. Newly formed mRNA direct a different synthesis of specific proteins on ribosomes
  4. New proteins ALTER the (target) cells’ activity
97
Q

What are the Transport proteins of Lipid soluble hormones like?

A

Soluble transport protein

allows for transportation of the otherwise lipid soluble water insoluble protein through the aqueous solution blood is

98
Q

What are the 6x main steps of the mechanism of action of Lipid soluble hormones?

A

Do not need transporter. Can diffuse through (blood vessel)
1.Binding to the hormone (1st messenger) to its Surface receptor activates the intercytoplasmic G protein which in turn activates adenylate cyclase
2. Activated adenylate cyclase converts ATP –> cAMP (the second messenger)
3. cAMP serves as a 2nd messenger –> to activate other protein kinases
4. Activated protein kinases Phosphorylate other enzymes using ATP
5. These phosphorylated enzymes now Catalyse reaction which produce physiological responses (1. phosphorylation. 2. the way proteins work) : i.e. Alters the Metabolic (enzymatic and physiological behaviour) Network of the cell
6. After a time period Phosphodiesterase inactivates cAMP (the 2nd messenger) - take away = revert back
overall highlights how this is an inducible system

99
Q

What inactivates the mechanism of action of water soluble hormones?

A 
Enzyme Phosphodiesterase
inactivates cAMP specifically
reverts back 
aswell
-illustrates how it is an inducible system: upon taking away the hormone, the system just reverts back
100
Q

What are 3x examples of Water soluble hormones?

A
  1. Catecholamines -(NE and E)
  2. peptides
  3. proteins
