21
Q

Why is it called a Fast AP in Phase 0?

Study These Flashcards
A

B/c the slope is straight up and down

22
Q

What is the slope of Phase 0 directly related to?

Study These Flashcards
A

How many Fast Na+ channels we have involved

23
Q

Ventricle Myocyte Phase 4: Slope
*Can it fire an AP on its own?

Study These Flashcards
A

Slight slope above horizontal, due to leaky Na+ channels
*Yes, but takes a while

24
If the Vrm is increased, what happens to the Fast Na+ channels? *Slope of Phase 0? *Peak of Phase 1?
Less fast Na+ channels involved *Slope of Phase 0 is shallower *Peak of Phase 1 is less high
25
If Vrm increases so much that Fast Na+ channels cannot be repolarized, how does the AP look? *What is the cell relying on to propogate the AP thru the Gap Junctions?
Very similar to a slow L-Type Ca++ channel *Ca++ to propagate the AP, but takes longer b/c it is slower and larger to fit thru
25
If the Vrm is so high that the Fast Na+ channels and Slow L-Type Ca++ channels cannot repolarize, how does the AP look?
VFIB/Asystole
26
What phases are in a ventricular myocyte AP
Phases 4, 0, 1, 2, 3
27
Which is the fastest phase in the Nodal Tissues? *Another name for this
Phase 4 *Diastolic Depolarization
28
What is the Vrm of the SA nodes? *Threshold?
-55mV; -40 mV
29
What are the 2 theories for why there are no Fast Na+ channels in Nodal Tissues?
1. There actually are no V-G Fast Na+ channels there 2. There are V-G Fast Na+ channels, but do not function as Vrm is not (-) enough
30
Which Channel repolarizes at a more (+) number? *Slow Ca++ or Fast Na+
Slow Ca++ [-55 mV]
31
How are Nodal Cells leaky to Ca++ at rest?
Thru Leaky Ca++ channels
32
What Phases are in a Nodal Tissues Cell
Phases 4, 0, 3
33
How does Lidocaine change the AP?
Reduces the Slope of Phase 0 by blocking Fast Na+ channels
33
If you have increased ACh or Vagal Tone, what happens to HR?
Increased K Perm = Reduced Vrm = reduced HR
34
What is the primary way nodal tissue adjusts Vrm?
Thru mACh-R and the attached K channels
34
3 Things that cause a more (+) Vrm
Hyperkalemia, Acidosis/Increased H, Increased Protons, MI
35
What happens if you give Atropine?
Decreased K permeability at the mACh-R sites, leading to increased Vrm = Increased HR
36
mACh-R 2nd set w/ Alpha Inhibitory Subunit: Effect on cell
Slows down AC when bound = decreased cAMP = decreased PKA
37
Beta-R subset that interacts w/ HCN channels: Effect on the cell *How is it activated
Direct Stimulation and cAMP activation; when activated, HCN channels open and allow for more Na+ and Ca++ to influx during Nodal Cell Phase 4
37
What does HCN mean
Hyperpolarization Cyclic Nucleotide
37
What 3 things do PKA mainly phosphorylate?
L-Type Ca++ channels, Troponin I, Phospholamban
38
PKA Phosphorylation of L-Type Ca++ Channels
Makes them more sensitive and easier to open
38
PKA Phosphorylation of Phospholamban
Increase speed of Cell repolarization = allows for faster HR
38
Beta-R Alpha Subunit that is stimulatory: Effects on the cell
Increased AC = increased cAMP = increased PKA
38
At which part of the cell is Beta Adrenergic Stimulation most dangerous and why?
L-Type Ca++ channels, b/c more sensitive to PKA = increased AP firing when not supposed to [Arrythmias]
39
PKA Phosphorylation of Troponin I
Increased contractile protein sensitivity = increases CBC
39
Blocking Beta-R leads to what w/ HR, CBC, L-Type Ca++ channels
Decreased speed of cell repolarization [increased phospholamban = increased SERCA pump activity] = slower HR *Slower CBC *Makes L-Type Ca++ less sensitive and harder to open
40
What does DAD stand for?
Delayed after depolarization
41
What does EAD stand for?
Early after depolarizations
42
Can cAMP fall apart on its own? *What speeds up this process
yes, but slow *Phosphodiesterase
43
What does PDE turn cAMP into?
AMP
44
What happens to cAMP/PKA if we give a PDE inhibitor?
Increases cAMP, PKA
