Cardiology 7.7 Flashcards
for EC coupling what has to happen
Ca increases
AP
rise in cytoplasmic calcium is called
cytoplasmic transient (95)
relationship b/w intracellular calcium & muscle tension
very steep relationship
when cell is relaxed intracellular calcium is low
if calcium doesn’t come into cell through calcium current the SR
will not release calcium & won’t get calcium transient
the major way you vary strength of contraction of cardiac muscle
he didn’t say
describe structure of ventricular myocyte and difference b/w skeletal
SR contacts T tubule is similar to triad in skeletal muscle but is not voluminous SR - only at contact site is where it is released
draw out structure of myocyte
pg 96
in heart have calcium channels in t tubule across from
ryanodine receptors (calcium release channels)
what is a couplon
unit of Ca channels and RyRs
ryanodine receptor in cardaic vs. skeletal
ryanodine receptor is separate from calcium channel in cardiac muscle
with each beat the heart needs what that skeletal muscle doesn’t need
calcium influx with each beat
in heart if calcium isn’t released it won’t contract
how is calcium put back into SR
SERCA
beat to beat entry of calcium, with each beat in cardiac cell, how do you get calcium out
sodium calcium exchange (doesn’t need ATP)
SERCA
Calcium pump
what is most important way to get calcium out in cardiac
sodium calcium pump
does sodium calcium pump need ATP
no
how much sodium vs. calcium in pump in cardiac
3 sodium in for 1 calcium out
in cardiac muscle when you apply EPI & NE what happens regarding calcium
bigger calcium current and bigger release from SR and more forecful contraction
why does HR go up when excersie
EPI & NE released, stimulating more calcium & rate of diastolic depol increases so faster HR. force of contractino also increases b/c of bigger calcium currnet
calcium by itself is insufficient to cause
contraction
what do you need calcium to do to to cause contraction
binds to ryanadine receptor, opens, big release of calcium (calcium transient).
if you delay the rate of calcium reuptake what happens to tension
slow the rate of relaxation
if you block calcium current will not get calcium release from
SR
what happens to tension if you have EPI & NE
get faster and stronger rate of tension (pg 100)
