Cardiology 7.6 Flashcards
inward current do what to cell
depolarize
outward current do what to cell
repolarize
calcium current is voltage gated channel but modulated by
ligand gated channels
as AP is depolarizing what happens to the voltage channels
have a voltage threshold
what does calcium current do for plateau phase of AP
stays open
if you express calcium current in nerve cell can make it look like
cardiac cell
9:37
helps maintain
triggers relese of calcium from SR (calcium induced calcium release)
without calcium release cardiac cell will not
contract
sodium channels stay inactivated throughout
most of AP
what accounts for refractory period
sodium channels inactivated
depol cell and if nothing else happened what would happen to membrane potential if no potassium channels?
just shutting off sodium channels does not cause repol. so it wouldn’t repol.
whether membrane potential is depolarizing or repolarizing depends on net
ionic current
if inward current and outward currents whether big or small, if they are equal and opposite, membrane potential will be
stable
during depol net current ha to be
inward
during repol net current has to be
outward
Ito
potassium current
Ito accounts for what
accounts for phase 1 of AP
what happens to rate of phase 1 if you block Ito
slower
Ik
potassium current
Ik1
potassium current
Ik1 accounts for what when open
resting potential
if you have resting potential cell has to have open ____ channels
potassium
what happens to Ik1 to help depol cell
closes
what happens to AP if you block Ik
AP would get longer
longer AP b/c of blocked Ik what time interval would increase
QT
long QT syndrome are prone to
particular arhythmia
antihistamine blocked an Ik and what did it do
caused death! b/c it blocked the Ik
all drugs have to be tested to see if they block
Ik
b/c of that histamine that blocked Ik channel and killed ppl
anti-arthmia in too high a dose can be pro-
arthymic
how does HR affect AP duration
when you increase HR, AP duration (and refractory period) they are inversely proportional
