Q

What is the function of TnI?

A

41
Q

What happens when Ca binds to TnC?

A

There is a shift in TnT and thereby a shift in TnI

42
Q

What happens in a neuromuscular junction?

A

Motor nueron terminate on skeletal muscle

43
Q

What is the path the action potential takes from a neuromuscular junction till muscle contraction?

A

AP > depolarization of sarcolema > t-tubules depolarize > adjacent to terminal cisterma of sarcoplasmic reticulum > release Ca from cisterna

44
Q

What is the sarcolema?

A

Membrane on muscle

45
Q

What kind of arrangements do myosin filaments have in skeletal muscle?

A

Bipolar arrangment

All heads face one direction

46
Q

Where do you find bipolar arrangment of mysoin?

A

Skeletal fibers

Cardiac fibers

47
Q

What two types of binding sites are on myosin heads?

A
  1. Actin binding site
  2. ATP binding site
48
Q

What is the process from when calcium is released to the myosin heads actually causing contraction?

A

Calcium released > myosin binding site is exposed > myosin binds to actin = rigor conformation > ATP binds myosin head > release myosin head > Hydrolysis of ATP > release of inorganic phosphate = stroke power > myosin head moves > release of ATP > back to the beginning

49
Q

What is the neurotransmitter that is released in neurotransmitter junction?

A

AcH

50
Q

What is botulism toxin? What does it do?

A

It prevents the release of AcH to the neuromuscular junction

Flacid Paralysis

51
Q

What is tetnus toxin? What does it do?

A

No inhibitory neurons > sustained release of AcH

Lock Jaw, cortusion of muscle contractions

52
Q

What are intercalated discs? What muscle types are they found in?

A

Found in cardiac muscle

Gap junctions that link cardiac muscle cells

53
Q

_________ muscle fibers consist of numerous cells arranged end to end

A

Cardiac muscle

54
Q

How many nucli do cardiac cells have?

A

One - mononucleated

55
Q

Where is cardiac muscle located?

Q

What are the two components of intercalated discs of cardiac muscle?

A

Transverse Component

Lateral Component

58
Q

What are the two components of the transverse component of the intercalated discs?

A

Extension of sarcolema and interact with terminal cisterma

63
Q

How does the parasympathetic and sympathetic systems effect the heart?

A

They control the bpm - heart rate

Sympathetic: increase bpm

Parasympathetic: decrease bpm

64
Q

Cardiac conducting cells - function

A

Spontaneously contract

65
Q

How does the electriv current travel through the heart?

A

SA node > AV node > radiate through bundle of his > purkinje fibers

66
Q

What kind of cells are in the subendocardium?

A

Cardiac contractile cells

67
Q

What is a myocardial infraction?

A

Heart attack

Occlusion/blockage of artery = myocardial ischemia

68
Q

What are the stages of myocardial infarction?

A

Blockage of artery > intercalated discs disappear > nucli condense = hypnotic > 3 days later = necrosis

69
Q

What occurs during necrosis?

A

Occurs 3 days after a heart attack

Immune cells break down necrotic tissue

Develop scar tissue > heart no longer contracting normally

70
Q

How do smooth muscles contract? (what style)

A

Twist, like a corkscrew

Not accordian (like cardiac and skeletal muscle)

Twisted nucli

71
Q

What are dense bodies? What muscle type are they located in? What is thier function?

A

Anchor thin filamemts and intermediate filaments to the sarcolemma

Transmit contractile forces generated inside cell to cell surface

Located in smooth muscle

72
Q

What are dense bodies made of?

A

Alpha actininin

73
Q

What are dense bodies analogous to in skeletal and cardiac muscle?

A

Z line

74
Q

What is the myosin arrangment in smooth muscle?

A

Side-polar

Contributes to the twisting motion of smooth muscle cells

75
Q

What triggers smooth muscle contractions?

A

Not controlled by nervous system

Triggered by mechanical, chemical, and electrical stimuli

76
Q

What is the process of contraction in smooth cells?

A

Calcium is released > calcium binds to calmodulin > calcium-calmodulin complex activated MLCK > phosphorylate mysoin > binding of actin
