Q

Neuroplasticity on the Postsynaptic Membrane

A
  • Glutamate binds to post. cell
  • First it binds to AMPA…. increase gNa and gK generating local current flow
  • Local current flow removes the Mg block on the NMDA channel
  • Glutamate and glycine bind to NMDA and increase gCa
  • Ca creates calmodulin which sets up a phosphorylation cascade and causes protein function

Q

Denervation Experiments

A
  • Innervation from axon causes muscle contraction
  • Gives info for where to put ACh receptors
  • Remove axon, ACh channels appear randomly on surface of muscle cells
25
Q

NMDA Receptor

A
  • For Glutamate
  • Has an Mg block
  • Mg block removed by LCF due to glutamate binding to AMPA and increasing the gK and gNa
  • NMDA increase gCa

Hippocampus

26
Q

PTH

A
  • Released when Ca is low
  • Helps raise Ca
  • Decrease Ca in urine (kidney)
  • Increase osteocytic osteolysis (bone)
  • Helps Vit D action with Ca absorb in gut (SI)
27
Q

Denitrify

A
  • Organisms die
  • Other organisms eat dead things and release N2 back into the environment
28
Q

Guinea Worm

A

Matchstick worm

  • Adult worms drive their victims to gt into the water so they can lay eggs
29
Q

How tetanus works

A
  • Hold internal tension to stretch the SEC completely
  • Allows enough time for external tension to catch up
30
Q

Heterocysts

A
  • Specialized nitrogen fixing cells
  • Found in bacteria
31
Q

Adaptations for a parsitic lifestyle

A
  • Ability to infect
  • Ability to inhabit
  • Reduced sensory system
32
Q

Decomposers/ Detrivores

A

Are not a trophic level

33
Q

PDE

A

Phosphodiesterase

  • cAMP –> AMP
  • Inhibited by coffee
34
Q

Segmented Worms

A
  • First kind of segmented animal
  • Segments = redundancy
  • If it gets split, it has all the parts it needs to survive
  • Each segment has a small kidney and a nervous system
35
Q

Acacia Trees and Ants

A

Symbiotic

  • Tree grows protein rich knobs to feed ants that live in its thorns
  • Ants protect tree
36
Q

Cycling

A
  • Intrinsic rate of reproduction until resources exhauted… hit carrying capacity
  • Cycling reflected throughout foodchain (Hare + Lynx)… population levels cary together.
37
Q

Facilitation

A
  • With a lot of action potentials, increase the Ca insde the presynaptic membrane
  • This makes it easier to exocytose a neurotransmitter

Q

FLAT PiG

A

Anterior Pituitary Hormones

FSH

LH

ACTH

TSH

Prolactin

GH

39
Q

Ach Release –> Muscle Contraction

A
  • Neuron releases ACh which binds to a nicotinic channel
  • Increase gNa and gK –> local current flow
  • LCF –> Action potential in muscle membrane down T-tubule
  • Action potential stiumlates DHP which interacts with RyR in the sarcoplasmic reticulum
  • RyR releases Ca… signals crossbridge
40
Q

Coelomates

A
  • Mesoderm lined body cavities and organs
  • Segemented worms and most other shit
41
Q

Ecological Pyramid

A
  • Shrinks by an order of magnitude for each lelve of the food chain
  • Size represents biomass (stored energy)
  • The only energy that gets passed up to a consumer is that which becomes part of the body… the other 90% is used for metabolism
42
Q

Bastesian Mimicry

A
  • Species imitates another species that is harmful
  • Viceroy butterfly immitates yucky monarch
  • Only works if there are more monarchs than viceroys
43

47
Q

A
  • Attachment structure
  • Resist digestion
  • Can penetrate the body
  • Increased ability to live in anaerobic conditions
  • Reduced digestive ability (because surrounded by nutrients)
  • Redduced sensory systems
  • Huge reproductive potential
48
Q

A
  • Trophic level 1
  • Turn light into chemical energy
50
Q

Succession

A
  • If a given area is undisturbed, organisms will increase in size/coplexity/stored energy until reaching a climax community
51
Q

Follicular Phase

A
  • Peak of FSH makes follicles develop
  • Follicles release estrogen which does + deeback on HPA…. leads to Increase LH
52
Q

Parasitic

A
  • One organism benefits at the expense of the other
53
