Exam 2 Flashcards
Epimysium
- surrounds entire muscle cell
Hippocampus
- learning and memory (short term)
- sea horse shaped
White muscle fiber
- glycolytic
- type II- has rapid short duration
- pale (chicken breast)
Troponin
- affinity for calcium
ATP
- only source used directly for contractile activities
- return of Na + and K+ after action potential in neuron/Sarcolemma
Z line
- ends of the sarcomere
Colostrum
- first milk
- contains antibodies or immunoglobulins(IgG or IgM)
- passive transfer of antibodies in many species
Not humans - placenta
Not birds - egg yolk
Parietal lobe
- movement, orientation
Plasticity
- brain can be remodeled or rewired
Polarized at rest
- inside is negative with respect to outside of the cell
- resting potential = -60 to -90 mV
Midbrain
- mesencephalon
- controls eye movements
- auditory and visual reflexes
Hypophysis
- pituitary gland
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)/ vasopressin
- produced by hypothalamus
- increases kidney pressure
- increases water uptake by the kidneys
- attempts to conserve water
- promotes reabsorption of water, less urine
Melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH)
- produced by pituitary gland
- causes darkening of the skin
- helps in camouflage
- production of summer coat in weasels, foxes
Prion disease
- protein + infection
- transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE)
ATP regenerated by 3 mechanisms
1) direct phosphorylation of ADP by creatine phosphate
- (10-15 seconds)
2) anaerobic pathway (glycolysis -> lactic acid)
- (30-40 seconds)
3) aerobic respiration
- minutes
Hypothalamus
- controls food intake, water intake
Amnesia
- loss of memory
Adenohypophysis
- anterior pituitary gland
- glandular, or produces hormones
- growth hormone
- prolactin
- glycoprotein hormones (alpha and beta)
Hypothalamus
- site of synthesis, NCB
- controls anterior/posterior pituitary glands
- regulates osmolarity, temperature, hunger, rage
Cross section of brain
White vs gray matter
Gray on outside
White on inside
3 nuclei inside cerebrum
1) amygdala
2) hippocampus
3) limbic system
Supra normal period
- threshold to rest, since it’s above rest easier to reach threshold
Depolarized
- when active reverses polarity
- Na + in, K+ out
Muscle cells
- are excitable (polarized at rest)
- conducts electricity (action potential over cell membrane)
- turns chemical potential energy into mechanical energy
Active Immunity
- you make the antibodies yourself
Ex: vaccinated
What makes neurons able to conduct electric potential?
- the whole cell is electrically charged AT REST
- negative on inside, positive on outside
- more potassium on inside, more sodium on outside
I band
- contains only actin
- size changes
Pons
- bridge between spinal chord and brain
- relay between cerebrum and cerebellum
- also works with medulla to control respiration
Neurohypophysis (Pars Nervosa)
- posterior pituitary gland
- neural
- stores oxytocin and vasopressin
- hormones produced in hypothalamus and released from here
Right hemisphere of brain
- representational area (sensory info)
Frontal lobe
- problem solving, reasoning, planning
Somatomotor
- output
Reticular activating system (RAS)
- contains Reticular formation
- sleep disorders
- if you are narcoleptic or have insomnia have a problem with this
Gigantism
- excess of growth hormone
Vagues nerve
- cranial nerve #10
- goes to the heart, decrease heart rate
- major parasympathetic nerve that goes to heart
Red fiber muscle
- oxidative
- type I- slow sustained fibers
- dark (chicken legs)
Proprioceptive
- your body keeping track of you
- input of where you are in space
Actin
- thin mylofilaments
- I band is made up of only this
- includes troponin and tropomyosin
Cardiac muscle
- have an intrinsic tone/rhythm even in the absence of nervous system
- pacemaker cells maintain rhythm
- striated, mono nucleated
- connected by intercalated disks, interdigitate
Tropomyosin
- covers active/myosin binding sites on actin
Amygdala
- emotions
Hyperpolarized
- when more polarized than at rest
Bovine spongiform encephalopathies
- type of prion disease
- mad cow disease
Muscle memory
- motor learning (cerebrum-> cerebellum)
- riding a bike, throwing frisbee
2 phases of neuron
- once membrane is partially Depolarized it is easier to reach threshold potential
Phase 1) depolarization to action potential= absolute refractory
Phase 2) repolarization to threshold=relative refractory
Phase 3) threshold to rest= supra normal
Phase 4) below rest= subnormal
M line
- center of H zone
Reflexive/Procedural Long term memory
- automatic, not conscious
- acquire slowly, repetitive
- muscle memory
- rules like a period at the end of a sentence
- Amygdala and cerebellum
Passive transport
- not doing any extra work just eating
- when mother passes on immunoglobulins via colostrum
Subliminal stimulus
- one that does not reach threshold
