Store 50 cc and concentrate bile

excrete bile when fat is in duodenum and prescence of CCK

Fasting

60
Q

The sarcomere lies between two _ lines which bisect the I band

A

Z lines

61
Q

The A band contains?

A

Actin and myosin

62
Q

The M line bisects?

A

The H band

63
Q

A

Myosin - thick filaments

64
Q

65
Q

What part of the sarcomere remains the same length in contraction?

A

A band

66
Q

What part of the sarcomere disappears with full contraction?

A

H band

67
Q

Differences between Troponin C, T, I?

A

C: binds to calcium ions
T: binds to tropomyosin and prevents X binding
I: binds to actin and inhibits interaction between actin and myosin

68
Q

Actin and myosin at what ratio in skeletal muscle?

A

2:1

69
Q

Describe the neuromuscular junction and how messages are sent to the muscle?

A

Alpha motor neurons connected to motor end plates via a bouton filled with vesicles that release ACh when stimulated and Ca2+ flows into bouton and ACH is released goes through presynaptic membrane into synaptic cleft and diffuses to nicotinic ACH receptor on muscle and cause an end plate potential to cause contraction of the skeletal muscle and acetylcholinesterase in the synaptic cleft breaks down ACH and choline is reabsorbed and combined w/acetyl CoA in presynaptic vesicles

70
Q

Describe the sliding filament model

A

Na+ into sarcolemma generating action potential to T tubules which release Ca2+ from cisterna of sarcoplasmic reticulum and Ca2+ binds to Troponin C which changes shape displacing tropomyosin so myosin can break down ATP and form a X bridge with actin and pull actin closer to middle and it detaches when ATP binds during relaxation Ca2+ pumped back into sarcoplasmic reticulum by Ca2+ pump

71
Q

Slow twitch type 1 vs fast twitch type 2

A

I: red, more in long distance runners, smaller fiber size, less glycogen, more mitochondria increase aerobic metabolism, more myoglobin, resistant to fatigue
II: white, more common in sprinters, large fiber sie for greater contraction, large glycogen stores, few mitochondria for increased anaerobic glycolysis, less myoglobin, easily fatigued

72
Q
Types of contraction:
Isometric
Isotonic
Isokinetic
Concentric
Eccentric
A

Isometric: fibers lengths don’t change (push against wall)
Isotonic: load remains the same (flex elbow w/fixed weight)
Isokinetic: speed of contraction same
Concentric: muscle shortens in contraction (flex elbow w/weight in hand)
Eccentric: muscle lengthened in contraction (ext elbow slowly with weight in hand)

73
Q

Describe smooth muscle contraction:

A

Influx of Ca+ into sarcoplasm, Ca2+ binds to calmodulin which activates myosin light chain kinase, phosphorylates myosin so myosin-P binds to actin and causes contraction, when myosin-P is dephosphorylated relaxation occurs

74
Q

Ratio of actin to myosin in smooth muscle?

A

20:1

75
Q

Describe the flexor withdrawal reflex?

A

Painful stimulus along afferent axons of A-delta and class C dorsal root fibers in DRG, dendrites synapse in dorsal horn of SC w/interneuron synapses w/alpha motor neuron in ventral horn and efferently innervates a flexor muscle to withdraw from painful stimulus

76
Q

The Flexor withdrawal reflex falls under what classification of reflex?

A

Somatosomatic reflex

77
Q

Describe the crossed extensor reflex?

A

Activated by noxious stimuli on the skin, excites A-delta and class C dorsal root fibers enter dorsal horn and activate multiple interneurons in grey matter through polysynaptic pathways linked w/extensor muscles on both sides of cord so while flexor withdrawal is facilitated by contraction on same side of stimulus the extensors are contracted on the opposite limb providing support of body during withdrawal as a righting reflex

78
Q

Describe the Stretch/Deep tendon/Myotatic reflex

A

Striked muscle tendon causes spindles to stretch sending an impulse along an afferent neuron which synapses w/alpha motor neuron of stimulated muscle which contracts and also synapses with Renshaw cell (lamina IX) which synapses with same alpha motor neuron and glycine is released from the Renshaw cell to cause antagonists to relax and this can be further modified from the brain

79
Q

Characteristics of an upper motor neuron lesion:

A

spastic paralysis, hyperreflexia, babinski sign, no atrophy, no fasciculations
