Q

Steps in the process of excitation-contraction coupling

A

Step 1
Action potential spread along the sarcolemma to the T-tubules (transverse tubules)

Step 2

Step 3
Calcium binds to actin and the blocking action of the tropomyosin is removed

Step 4
Myosin heads attach to begin contraction

Step 5
Calcium is removed and the binding sites on actin become blocked again by tropomyosin

Step 6

Q

Steps in cross bridge cycling, and the involvement of ATP, cross bridges, and the myosin head ATPase

A

Step 1
cross bridge formation: phosphorylated myosin head attaches to an actin myofilament

Step 2
the power stroke:
1) ADP and Pi are released from the myosin head
2) Myosin head changes to bend, low-energy state
3) Shape change pulls the actin towards the M line

Step 3
cross bridge detachment: ATP attaches to myosin, breaking the cross bridge

Step 4
cocking of the myosin head: attached ADP is hydrolyzed by myosin ATPase into ADP + Pi, bringing it back to a high-energy state

Q

the attachment of the pulmonary and systemic circulation to the heart

A

Pulmonary circulation moves blood between the heart and the lungs. It transports deoxygenated blood to the lungs to absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide. The oxygenated blood then flows back to the heart. Systemic circulation moves blood between the heart and the rest of the body.

30
Q

unique features of cardiac muscle tissue that allow it to perform its functions.

A

Intercalated discs, gap junctions

31
Q

how electrical impulses travel through the heart

A

Atrial depolarisation
Ventricular depolarisation
Atrial and ventricular repolarisation.

The electrical impulse travels from the sinus node to the atrioventricular node (also called AV node). There, impulses are slowed down for a very short period, then continue down the conduction pathway via the bundle of His into the ventricles

32
Q

The steps in the cardiac cycle

A

Atrial Diastole: In this stage, chambers of the heart are calmed. That is when the aortic valve and pulmonary artery closes and atrioventricular valves open, thus causing chambers of the heart to relax.

Atrial Systole: At this phase, blood cells flow from atrium to ventricle and at this period, atrium contracts.

Isovolumic Contraction: At this stage, ventricles begin to contract. The atrioventricular valves, valve, and pulmonary artery valves close, but there won’t be any transformation in volume.

Ventricular Ejection: Here ventricles contract and emptying. Pulmonary artery and aortic valve close.

Isovolumic Relaxation: In this phase, no blood enters the ventricles and consequently, pressure decreases, ventricles stop contracting and begin to relax. Now due to the pressure in the aorta – pulmonary artery and aortic valve close.

Ventricular Filling Stage: In this stage, blood flows from atria into the ventricles. It is altogether known as one stage (first and second stage). After that, they are three phases that involve the flow of blood to the pulmonary artery from ventricles.

33

35
Q

47
Q

Auscultatory (manual) blood pressure measurement method and how it works

A

Auscultatory (manual) blood pressure utilizes a sphygmomanometer, a device comprised of an inflatable cuff connected to a pressure gauge (generally a column of mercury). To measure an individual’s blood pressure, the deflated cuff is placed around the arm and inflated sufficiently to occlude arterial flow

48
Q

primary and secondary hypertension

A

High blood pressure that doesn’t have a known cause is called essential or primary hypertension. In contrast, secondary hypertension has a known cause.

49
Q

neuromuscular junction in excitation-contraction coupling

A

excitation-contraction coupling process begins with signaling from the nervous system at the neuromuscular junction

50
Q

motor end plate in excitation-contraction coupling

A

MEPs receive electrical signals from motor neurons, generate endplate potentials, and consequently induce muscle contractions

51
Q

end plate potential in excitation-contraction coupling

A

the voltages which cause depolarization of skeletal muscle fibers caused by neurotransmitters binding to the postsynaptic membrane in the neuromuscular junction

52
Q

muscle-surface voltage-gated Na+ channels in excitation-contraction coupling

A

The membrane depolarization at the synaptic cleft triggers nearby voltage-gated sodium channels to open.

53
Q

A

when the muscle fibers do not completely relax before the next stimulus because they are being stimulated at a fast rate

66
Q

complete tetanus

A

During complete tetanus, there’s no relaxation period between muscle contractions. Your muscle contractions completely fuse to create one continuous muscle contraction.

67

A

70
Q

characteristics of slow oxidative, fast oxidative, and fast glycolytic muscle fibers

A

Type 1: Slow oxidative (SO) fibers contract relatively slowly and use aerobic respiration (oxygen and glucose) to produce ATP. They produce low power contractions over long periods and are slow to fatigue.
Type 2 A: Fast oxidative (FO) fibers have fast contractions and primarily use aerobic respiration, but because they may switch to anaerobic respiration (glycolysis), can fatigue more quickly than SO fibers.
Type 2 B: Fast glycolytic (FG) fibers have fast contractions and primarily use anaerobic glycolysis. The FG fibers fatigue more quickly than the others[3].

71
Q
