575
Q

Pressure Examples in AR

576
Q

No AR: HTN

A

Blow up Aneurysms; vessels can only constrict so much, so after >150 mmHg, BP will increase

577
Q

No AR: Hypotension

A

Cell Death, vessels can only dilate so much, so once under 50 mmHg, BP will decrease

578
Q

A

ACh vesicles near the cell wall; called Vesicle Pool 2 cells [VP2}; bind to the cell wall and release ACh into the NMJ

585
Q

Difference between VP2 and VP1 Vessicles?

A

VP2 are near cell wall and ready to drop ACh into the NMJ; VP1 are immature and need to finish filling up OR work on moving closer to the cell wall

586
Q

How does Calcium get shut off in the Presynaptic Cell?

A

Ca ATPase pump sends Ca++ out of the cell via Active Transport, preventing VP2 from being activated, stopping the release of ACh

587
Q

ACh receptors on Skeletal Muscle

A

Very close to NMJ, 2 binding sites that have to be bound simultaneously, nACh-R bound opens up for Na+ to flood in with small amounts of Ca++ (K+ small amount out)

Q

End plate potential, in comparison to, AP

A

EPP is the initial stimulus and AP is the reaction to that initial stimulus

590
Q

How does the Postsynaptic Terminal (skeletal muscle) create an AP?

A

The fast Na+ channels are next to the nACh-R, so with depolarization/end-plate potential, the Fast Na+ channels will be activated, creating an AP within the skeletal muscle, leading to muscle contraction

591
Q

A

Descending pathways from the brain and spinal cord on the ventral horn or Reflex arcs (sensory/pain) from the dorsal horn

595
Q

What are transverse tubules and why are they important?

A

Since the muscle cells are very large, transverse tubules take the AP DEEPER into the muscle, making sure the muscle gets the full contraction; Perpendicular Pathway

596

599
Q

How does AChesterase break down ACh?

A

It uses Hydrolysis to degrade the Ester bond, separating Acetyl and Choline

600

Primary - 1 infold (subneural)

Secondary - 2 infold

603
Q

How many ACh molecules does a motor neuron need to send to generate a response?

A

Dihydropyridine Sensor; senses an Action Potential and pulls on the door of the RyR channel, releasing Ca++ into the Sarcoplasm to cause contractions of the Actin/Myosin

607

A

In - Na+ 1st, Ca++ 2nd
Out - Small amounts of K+

609
Q

What is the RyR channel? Where is it located?

A

Ryanodine Channel that has Ca++ stored behind a “door”; when an AP comes through, the DHP-Sensor will open the door, allowing for Ca++ to flood into the Sarcoplasm. It is located on the SR

610
Q

Where are the DHP-receptors located?

A

Cell wall and T-tubules (send contraction deep into the muscle)

611
Q

How is Ca++ put back into the SR after a muscle contraction?

A

The RyR door shuts and a SERCA Ca++ pumps uses active transport/ATP to shove the Ca++ back in

612
Q

Is MG a presynaptic or postsynapic disease?

A

Postsynaptic Disease

612
Q

What is the SERCA Pump? What does it do?

A

Sarcoplasmic Endoplasmic Reticulum Calcium ATPase Pump; pushes Ca++ back into the SR via active transport

613
Q

613
Q

What structure in the Motor Neuron creates Acetate?

A

614
Q

Patho of MG

A

Immune response to goofy Thymus; Antibodies bind to nACh-R and immune system destroys them and cause scarring in the Clefts (decreased surface area for Fast Na+ channels and nACh-R); no muscle contractions as decreased ACh binding/no fast Na+ activated

615
Q

A

Block AChesterase, allowing for increased depolarization at NMJ and allow for more ACh to bind to cause an AP (leading to muscle contraction)

615

Remove Thymus, Plasmapheresis, “Stigmines”

616
Q

What is LEMS/ELMS?

A

Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome; Developed when a person has Lung Cx; Motor Neuron Based disease (Presynaptic); Send antibodies to block the P-Type Ca++ channels, resulting in less ACh being sent to the cell wall

617
Q

Tx for LEMS/ELMS

A

Plasmapheresis, Removal of Lung Tumor, Drugs: TEA [Tetraethyl ammonium] and 4-5 diaminopyridine (they block K+ channels, making it more depolarized to allow for more Ca++ to come in via unblocked P-Type Channels)

618
Q

Why are the drugs used to treat LEMS dangerous?

A

Although they block K+ channels, causing increased depolarization for more Ca++ to come in via P-Type Ca++ Channels, they are not specific to motor neurons. Can also block K+ channels in the heart, leading to arrythmias

619
Q

Curare NDMR

A

Block the nACh-R on skeletal muscle, which stops ACh from binding, leading to muscle paralysis [only has to block 1 receptor site, not both]

620
Q

What is Succinylcholine? What is the drug class?

A

Depolarizing muscle blocking agent that causes local depolarization at the NMJ; it is 2 ACh combined into 1, so AChesterase cannot break it down as it cannot reach the Ester bond

621
Q

A

Motor Neuron based Disease (Presynaptic)

622
Q

Sux Phase 1

A

Muscle contraction/quiver

623
Q

Sux Phase 2

A

Constant Na+ leaking into cell, so constant depolarization makes the cell more + at this location and prevents the cell from repolarizing (pushes more K+ extracellularly)

624
Q

How much does Sux increase Serum K+? Why? In a healthy Pt

A

Increase by 0.5 mEq (4-4.5); increased depolarization sends more K+ out of the cell down the concentration gradient, leading to more K+ ECF

625
Q

When to Avoid giving Sux?

A

Hyperkalemic, Pre-existing slow HR or conditions, Pts with poor muscle quality such as stroke or paralyzed pts (denervated)

626
Q

Why avoid Sux in Pts with denervation or stroke like injuries?

A

These types of injuries cause more NMJ at different lengths of the Skeletal Muscle; if give Sux, then all the NMJ will increase the amount of K+ being pushed extracellularly, leading to increased hyperkalemia
