Q

Compare the two “populations”/types of cells found in cardiac muscle. Provide function and examples

A

modified/specialized myocardial cells:

  • conducts AP at different AP velocities
  • ex: SA node, AV node, AV bundles, Purkinje fibers

non-specialized myocardial cells:

  • contracts myocardial cells
  • ex: make up the walls of atria and ventricles, are branched, and connected via gap junctions

Q

What can cAMP influence in the body?

A

heart-rate because it can increase the SA node AP frequency

(increase in cAMP will lead to steeper slope of PP -> an AP will occur quicker -> and contraction of heart will increase)

Q

Describe an HCN channel and some of its characteristics. What would happen to the slope of the PP if there were low amounts of cAMP?

A

HCN Channel (hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel) = VG-Na+ channel

Q

Describe the SA node action potential

A
  1. prior hyperpolarization initiates the opening of HCN channels (VG-Na2+ ch) at -60mV -> influx of Na2+
  2. pacemaker potential occurs (initial depolarization) until it reaches -40mV -> VG-Ca2+ open an influx of Ca2+
  3. depolarization occurs and at +20mV (peak), VG-Ca2+ will close and VG-K+ open -> K+ efflux -> repolarization
  4. VG-K+ slow to close -> hyperpolarization
  5. Action potential can now spread to AV node OR non-specialized myocytes in atrial walls where they spread to other cells (via gap junctions)

Q

*What would happen to the myocardial AP if the VG-Ca2+ channels were blocked? Would contraction of cardiac muscle increase or decrease as a result? Explain why

A

If VG-Ca2+ were blocked, there would be a drastic increase in cardiac muscle contraction. There would be no calcium plateau to “balance out” the efflux of K+, therefore, no refractory period -> increase in AP frequency -> increase in heart-rate

Q

Describe what goes on in a myocardial action potential

A
  1. RMP @ -90mV
  2. at end of RMP, VG-Na+ open -> rapid influx of Na+ = rapid depolarization (no initial depol. because AP spreads directly to the next cell, so no threshold required)
  3. reaches peak at +20mV -> VG-Na+ close and VG-Ca2+ (slow influx Ca2+) and VG-K+ open (efflux K+)
  4. balance between slow Ca2+ influx and efflux of K+ creates a calcium plateau (refratory period)
  5. VG-Ca2+ will eventually close, but VG-K+ remain open -> K+ efflux continues = rapid repol.
  6. return back to RMP at -90mV

45
Q

How does cAMP affect HCN channels in specialized myocardial cells?

A

it keeps HCN channels open for longer -> more influx of Na+ -> PP slope becomes steeper/increases

46
Q

Describe how an increase in epinephrine can lead to an increase in heart-rate.

A

increase in epinephrine -> increase in cAMP -> increase Na+ influx at specialized myocardial cells -> increase PP -> increase frequency of AP -> increase Ca2+ -> increase contraction -> increase HR

47
Q

Why is there no such thing as a Calcium-induced, calcium released mechanism in smooth muscle although there is one in skeletal and cardiac muscle

A

in skeletal and cardiac muscle, extracellular Ca2+ is used to activate the release of intracellular Ca2+ from the SR. However, smooth muscle has few/no SR, so an extracellular source must be used, therefore, there is no such things as an induced, calcium-released mechanism.

48
Q

Describe in chronological order the steps involved in the excitation-contraction coupling of cardiac muscle

A

AP conducted along sarcolemma of nonsepcialized myocardial cells -> T tubules -> DHP receptors open (L Type Ca2+ channel/VG-Ca2+ channel)

Extracellular Ca2+ flows into cell -> acts as a second messenger to open Ryanodine Receptors Type 2 (Ca2+ release channels) on the SR

DHP RECEPTORS AND RYANODINE RECEPTORS TYPE 2 ARE NOT COUPLED

Ca2+ from SR binds to troponin ->->-> stimulate cardiac muscle contraction

49
Q

Compare the DHP receptors vs the Ryanodine Type 2 Receptors

A

DHP receptors allow for influx of extracellular Ca2+ into the cytoplasm of nonspecialized myocardial cells

Ryanodine Type 2 Receptors allow for Ca2+ to be released from the SR and into the cytoplasm of nonspecialized myocardial cells

50
Q

SR

51
Q

TRUE or FALSE: Myofilaments from cardiac muscle are arranged into sarcomeres

A

True

52
Q

TRUE or FALSE: Cardiac myocytes have no/few SRs (sarcoplasmic reticula)?

A

False, cardiac myocytes have SRs and these SRs release Ca+ through the calcium-induced, calcium-released mechanism for contraction to take place

53
Q

TRUE or FALSE: Cardiac muscle requires nervous system input in order to contract

A

False, cardiac muscle does not need NS input because specialized cardiac myocytes are capable of generating their own APs

54

Systemic circuit: delivers oxygenated blood to tissues; pathway between heart and body tissue

61
Q

Describe the pathway of the pulmonary circuit

A

de-O2 blood from body to right atrium (via SVC and IVC) → tricuspid valve → right ventricle → pulmonary semilunar valve → pulmonary arteries → arterioles → capillaries; gas exchange at lungs (pick up O2) → venules → pulmonary vein → left atrium

62
Q

Describe the pathway of the systemic circuit

A

O2 blood from left atrium → bicuspid/mitral valve → left ventricle → aortic semilunar valve → aorta → systemic arteries → arterioles → capillaries; gas exchange at body tissue (pick up CO2) → venules → systemic veins → de-02 vena cavae → right atrium

63
Q

Define deoxygenated blood. Where in the cardiovascular system would deoxygenated blood be located?

A

Deoxygenated blood: low in CO2 and high in CO2

aortic semilunar valve opens

65
Q
  • When right atrial diastole occurs, what valve swings shut/closes? What would happen if it did not swings shut/close?
A

tricuspid valve

if it did not close, atria would never fill

66
Q

TRUE or FALSE: After gas exchange at the systemic capillaries (at the level of the systemic organs), blood is high in O2 and low in Co2

A

False, after gas exchange occurs between systemic capillaries and tissue, O2 was delivered to tissue and CO2 was picked up, therefore it would be low in O2 and high in CO2

67
Q

TRUE or FALSE: blood located in the veins is always deoxygenated

A

False, veins can carry oxygenated blood (ex: pulmonary veins), but can also carry deoxygenated blood (ex: SVC and IVC)

96

97

105
Q

Compare Hemophilia A vs. Hemophilia B

A

Hemophilia A is more common than Hemophilia B which contains an X-linked recessive trait (in EU royal families) that prevents a subunit of CF VIII (8) from participating in the intrinsic pathway

Hemophilia B contains a defective X-linked gene for CF IX (9)

Both are common in mostly males.

106
Q

Will bleeding time (the amount of time it takes before you begin to clot) be high or low in Von Willebrand’s Disease? Explain why

A

Bleeding time will be high because without VWF, platelets cannot bind to collagen fibers and will not activate PLTs to secrete substances that aim to stop bleeding -> no PLT plug

107
Q
