Answer 16

G protein receptors activates cAMP and has downstream effects

Question 17

EPSP’s do what?

Answer 17

Excitatory; Na+ depolarize from increase of Na+ into cell

Question 18

Answer 18

Inhibitory, Hyperpolarize

Answer 21

Epimysium: Directly Under facia Surrounding muscle
Perimysium: Surrounds fascicles
Epimysium: Surrounds muscle fiber

Question 22

Muscle fiber is made of what?

Answer 22

Made of myofibrils

Question 23

Myofibrils are made of what

Answer 23

Bundle of myofilaments

Question 24

Myofilaments are made of what?

Answer 24

Individual filaments

Question 25

What is excitation – contraction coupling?

Answer 25

Second phase of muscle stimulation: AP goes down T tubules, DHR receptor is key that opens Ryanodine Receptor; Calcium released from SR at terminal cisterns

Question 26

Nerve gas blocks what? What happens?

Answer 26

Blocks acetylcholinesterase Paralysis, death from asphyxiation

Question 27

Botulinum toxin blocks what? does what?

Answer 27

Blocks acetyl choline released from axon terminals Paralysis

Question 28

Clinical botulinum toxin helps

Answer 28

Helps overactive muscles Excessive gland activity Migraines Reduce wrinkles

Answer 29

Low myosin – ATPase activity High oxidative capacity Abundant mitochondria and myoglobin

Question 30

Type 2B:fast- glycolytic fibers High in 2 things Color, how many ATP?

Answer 30

High myosin – ATPase activity High glycolytic activity White, 2 ATP

Question 31

Myasthenia gravis Symptoms Causes Treatment

Answer 31

Symptoms: muscle fatigue and weakness that gets worse as muscle is used Cause: how do you mean destruction of nicotinic ACh– receptor proteins of motor end plate Treatment: AChE inhibitors

Question 32

Rigor mortis symptoms, cause, diminishes

Answer 32

Hardening of muscles and Stiffness of body 3 to 4 hours after death Cause colon deterioration of SR releases calcium Muscles can’t relax until mile filaments decay Peaks at 12 hours, diminishes over 48–60 hours
