Exam 3 Flashcards
What are the 3 connective tissue sheaths in a muscle? What kind of CT are they?
Epimysium: dense regular connective tissue
Perimysium: fibrous connective tissue
Endomysium: fine areolar connective tissue
What is the hierarchy of the muscles?
skeletal muscle fasicle muscle fibers myofibril myofilaments
Actin & myosin
Which one is thick and thin? Which one attaches to the z disc?
___ blocks ___ and ___ holds it in place
___ has 2 binding sites, one for ___ and one for ___.
thick myosin
thin actin
Tropomyosin blocks actin. Troponin holds Tropomyosin in place
myosin has 2 binding sites for ATP & actin binding site
isotonic contraction
muscle shortens & load is moved
Which 2 toxin are involved in flaccid paralysis? Convulsions? Is Ach high or low in each?
In a muscle twith, the period of ___ involves cross bridge formation.
contraction
What neurons are mutiploar, bipolar, unipolar?
multipolar = motor neurons & interneurons bipolar = retina of eye & special senses unipolar = sensory neurons
What are the characteristics of a smooth muscle?
\_\_\_ store Ca. Protein \_\_\_ binds to Ca. (no troponin) No \_\_\_, \_\_\_, \_\_\_. Innervated by \_\_\_. \_\_\_ store and release neurotransmitters.
caveolae store Ca2+
No troponin; protein calmodulin binds Ca2+
No sarcomeres, myofibrils, or T tubules,
Autonomic nerve fibers innervate smooth muscle
Varicosities (bulbous swellings) of nerve fibers store and release neurotransmitters
___ in the CNS
___ in the PNS produce myelin sheath
oligodendrocytes in CNS
schwann cells in the PNS
Nodes of ranvier have ___ gated ___ channels
voltage gated Na channels
runners high
endorphins
RER of neurons is called
nissl body
smooth muscles are present in ___ and ___,
iris of the eye and the walls of blood vessel
How do local and general anesthetics work?
local = influx of Cl for hyperpolarization general = closes voltage gated Na channels (no depolarization)
Flow of AP neuron to neuron
- action potential opens voltage-gated Ca++ on the neuron. the Ca++ goes to the terminal button
- acetylcholine released into the synaptic cleft
- RMP - negative on the inside, positive on the outside
- Graded potential - Acetyl choline attaches to the ligand gated Na+ channel, the receptor opens and lets Na+ inside, making the charge more positive. Creates graded potential, which is a local change
- Depolarization - once the threshold is reached, the graded potential opens up the voltage-gated Na+ channels, to let even more Na+ inside, rapidly. This makes all of the cell membrane positive. In this stage, action potential has occurred.
- Repolarization - voltage-gated Na+ channels close, and voltage-gated K+ channels open and let K+ go outside, making the inside negative again.
- Hyperpolarization - cell becomes more negative than original as K+ channel remains open. Here, cells cannot do anything and become inhibited
What are the 5 characteristics of the skeletal muscle?
4 of the smooth?
3 of the cardiac?
What is myogolbin?
Flow of AP for muscle contraction - worksheet
