Q

factors that increase blood calcium level

A
  • triggered when falls below 8.5 mg/dL
  • cells of the parathyroid hormone gland release parathyroid hormone into blood stream
  • bone cells: release calcium
  • kidneys: increase calcitriol, calcium conserved
  • intestines: calcium absorbed qucikly
80
Q

factors that decrease blood calcium level

A

-triggered when above 11 mg/dL

  • C cells in thyroid gland secret calcitonin
  • bone : calcitonin descrease osteoclast, calcium release slowed
  • intestinal: calcium abosrbed slowly
  • kidney: supresses calcium ion reabsorption, calcium excreted

95
Q

nebulin

A

96
Q

tropomyosin

A

covers active sites

97
Q

troponin

A

globular protein that binds to tropomyosin, controlled by Ca2+

98
Q

initating a muscle contraction

A
  • Ca2+ bind to receptor on troponin
  • Tropoin will cause tropomypsin to move out of the way and expose active sites on f-actin so active site can bind with myosin head
99
Q

sliding fliament theory

A
  • skeletal muscle contracts, thin slide past thick.
  • H bands and I bands get smaller, the zones of overlap get larger, Z lines move closer together and width of A stays the same
100

Q

thick=

104
Q

SR

A

help transmit the action potential to the myofibril. terminal cisternae. 1 T-tubule, 2 terminal cisternae

105
Q

contraction cycle

A
  1. resting sacromere: mysoin heads all energized and cocked.
  2. contraction cycle begins: begins with arrival of calicum from SR to zone of overlap
  3. Active Site exposure: Ca binds to troponin which moves tropomyosin out of the way exposing active sites
  4. Cross-bridge formation: once active site exposed, energized myosin heads bind to them forming cross-bridges
  5. Myosin head pivoting: pivots toward M line, called power stroke. happens when ADP and P released
  6. Cross bridge detachment: new ATP attach to myosin head, releases from actin. active site avaliable to form another cross bridge
  7. Myosin reactivation: myosin head is reactivated when the ATP splits into ADP and P.

114
Q

Autonomic

A

115
Q

All or none principle

A

given stimulus githr triggers a typical action potential or triggers none at all

116
Q

continous propgation

A

+30 mV

  1. action potential develops @ intial segment, depolarizes at 30 mV
  2. sodium ions entering @intial segment spread away from open voltage-gated chanels, a graded depolarization quickly, brings 2 threshold
  3. begins repolarization
  4. Na ions enter segment 2, graded depolarization quickly brings the membrane in seg 3 to threshold. only move foward not backward
