Q

Parasympathetic Control of Heart Rate is referred to as Negative Chronotropism.

Which neurotransmitter is binding to which receptors?

How can it achieve the purpose? 3 ways

  • Threshold
  • Slope of Phase 4 (Slow down the _______ current influx)
  • Repolarization (Open more ______ channels to increase repolarization)
A

Ach binding to M2 Muscarinic Receptors

How can it achieve the purpose? 3 ways

  • make threshold more positive
  • Slow down the funny current influx, reduce the slope of phase 4
  • Open GIRK channels to increase repolarization to make the max diastolic potential more negative

Q

Sympathetic Control of Heart Rate is referred to as Positive Chronotropism.

Which neurotransmitter is binding to which receptors?

How can it achieve the purpose? 3 ways

  • Threshold
  • Slope of Phase 4
  • Increase rate of sequestration by ________
  • Increase rate of dissociation of Ca2+ from __________, which is for Ca2+ binding, speeding up relaxation
A

NE/E binding to Beta-1 adrenergic receptors

How can it achieve the purpose? 3 ways

  • make threshold more negative
  • Increase the funny current influx, increase the slope of phase 4
  • Increase rate of sequestration by SERCA2a
  • Increase rate of dissociation of Ca2+ from Troponin C, which is for Ca2+ binding, speeding up relaxation

Q

Cardiac Muscle Contraction

  • Action potential enters, Ca2+ enters the cell through ________ Ca2+ channel
  • Calcium ions in cytoplasm stimulates the ________ receptors to release more calcium from the __________, which is called _____________
A
  • Action potential enters, Ca2+ enters the cell through L-type Ca2+ channel
  • Calcium ions in cytoplasm stimulates the ryanodine receptors to release more calcium from the SR, which is called calcium-induced-calcium release

Q

Consider Ventricular Preload

  • Increase in preload will lead to increased _____________,
  • By SV=EDV-ESV, Stroke volume will _______
  • Increase in stretching of ventricles means increase in preload
A

Consider Ventricular Preload

  • Increase in preload will lead to increased end-diastolic volume,
  • By SV=EDV-ESV, Stroke volume will increase

Q

Name certain factors that increases ventricular preload

  • Venous return
  • Ventricular filling
  • Heart rate
  • Ventricular inotropy
  • Atrial inotropy
  • Outflow resistance
  • Ventricular compliance
  • Muscle Damage
A

Name certain factors that increases ventricular preload

  • Venous return increases
  • Ventricular filling increases
  • Heart rate decreases (more time filling)
  • Ventricular inotropy decreases (less blood squeezed out)
  • Atrial inotropy increases (more blood squeezed from atrium to ventricles)
  • Outflow resistance increases (more blood retained)
  • Ventricular compliance increases (=increase the ability for the ventricles to be stretched)
  • Muscle Damage decreases (Less infarction, less fibrosis => Reduce elasticity => Increase stretching)

(If the Q gives something opposite to this, = the situation of afterload)

Q

Afterload is the force opposing the ejection of the blood by the left ventricle

Major contributor of afterload is _________

Increase in afterload will lead to an ______ in end systolic volume, by SV=EDV-ESV, Stroke volume _______.

A

Afterload is the force opposing the ejection of the blood by the left ventricle

Major contributor of afterload is aortic pressure

Increase in afterload will lead to an increase in end systolic volume, by SV=EDV-ESV, Stroke volume decreases.
