28
Q

What is the process of a muscle contraction?

A
  1. Stimulus brought to the muscle fiber at the neuromuscular junction.
  2. Motor neuron forms a synapse with the muscle fiber.
  3. Motor neuron releases acetylcholine into this in synaptic cleft.
  4. Muscle fiber binds acetylcholine, muscle membrane becomes more permeable to sodium creating action potential
  5. Electrical impulse triggers the release of calcium stored in his Sarco plasmic reticulum
  6. Calcium binds to inhibitors (troponin and tropomyosin)To release them selves from actin filament exposing the binding site for the myosin head.
  7. Sodium potassium restores that I am balance by pumping out the excess sodium and potassium
  8. ATP binds to the myosin head and stops the contractions.

Q

What is the sequence of events that occurs when a muscle is stimulated and contracts?

A

An exposed binding site on actin molecules form activation by Neuromuscular junction-allows the muscle contraction cycle to occur

1– myosin head bands to Acton, forming the cross page with Acton
2 – ADP Is released from myosin and cross bridge pool then filament towards the center of the sarcomere- shortens the muscle

3-ATP binds to myosin breaking the cross bridge

4-ATP is hydrolyzed in myosin head to allow for the proper placement for cross bridge formation upon stimulation.

Q

What is Rigor Mortis?

A

-3-4 Hours after death muscles begin to stiffen with maximum rigidity at 12 hours post Mortem

Dying cells take in calcium to form the cross bridge formation no ATP is being generated to break those cross bridges.

95
Q

What are the functions of the nervous system?

A

The nervous system is designed to gain input from the X ternal and internal environment, integrate this information, and then respond to it.

96
Q

What are the divisions of the nervous system

A

Central nervous system and peripheral nervous system

97
Q

What makes up the central nervous system?

A

Spinal cord and brain

98
Q

What makes up the peripheral nervous system

A

The Efferent and Afferent peripheral nervous system

99
Q

Efferent Peripheral nervous system

A

Uses efferent motor neurons to convey info from the CNS to the muscles and glands

100
Q

Afferent Peripheral nervous system

A

Uses sensory neurons to convey information from peripheral receptors to the central nervous system

101
Q

How was the efferent PNS divided up

A

Into the autonomic and somatic nervous systems

102

What does the sympathetic nervous system release?

A

Epinephrine/Norepinephrine

107

110
Q

What neuroglea cells are found in the PNS

A

Schwann cells and satellite cells

  • Located between neurons and blood vessels
  • functions in the blood brain barrier to regulate movement of substances

CNS

112

Oligodendrocyte

A

Form along my myelinated axon of neurons in the brain and spine

-Function and producing Mylan around several axon tails comparable to the Schwann cells

CNS

113

Microglia

A

Located near neurons that have the ability to relocate to injured neurons, phagocytize bacterial and cellular debris

CNS

114

Ependymal cells

A

Line the cavities of the brain And spinal column,

function in regulating the transport of substances from cerebrospinal fluid and the interstitial space in the brain

CNS

115
Q

Schwann cells

A

Mylin

-similar to oligodendrocytes

Functions
Insulation
Faster response

PNS

116
Q

Satellite cells

A

Myelin

A

Mixture of proteins and lipids that protect and insulate the axon tail

Ask as a barrier between the axon and everything else, it also works to send nerve impulses quicker

118
Q

How are neurons categorized?

A

Shape and function

119
Q

Multi polar

A

Many processes, one Exxon and the rest are dendrites found in the brain and spine

Bipolar

A

only two processes, one is the axon and one is the dendrite found in sensory organs

121
Q

Unipolar

A

Single process extending from the body, but then divide the two processes

– found in a group called ganglia

-uses 1/2 of its processes to receive signals and transmit directly to the spine or the brain and the other half are use mostly organs

122
Q

Sensory neurons

A

The dendrites serve as a sensory receptor detecting changes in internal and external environment and sent directly to the brain or spine to the ad center – mostly unipolar structure, some bipolar

123
Q

Interneuron

A

Found only in the brain and spine.
-Multipolar

-They form connections with other interneurons and relay messages coming in and going out of the brain and spinal column
