Q

Why is fluid mosaic model both fluid like and static?

A

Fluid = from hydrocarbon chains combined with cholesterol - they’re free to move laterally cause they rnt. Covalently linked

Static= from large conglomerates that r bound to each other (eg. Connexions and lipid rafts)

Fluid mosaic = membrane can be both fluid and static

Q

Difference between multi pass membrane proteins and a multi subunit membrane protein

A

Multi pass = single poly p. Chain that penetrates membrane twice

Multi subunit = more than 1 poly p. Where each is called a subunit

Q

When ACh binds to nAChR which ions go through

A

K
Cl
Na

17
Q

Why is resting potential not the same as eqm pot for K

A

Membrane is permeable to other ions eg. Na and Cl

18
Q

Which ion channel contributes to resting pot.

A

K channel

19
Q

How does Na k atpase contribute to membrane pot.

A

Forms the Na and k conc grads needed

20
Q

When nerve becomes permeable to Na what’s its membrane pot and name of its state

A

+55mV

Depolarisation

21
Q

What type of gating is used for signalling in neuromuscular junction

A

Ligand gated

22
Q

Range of resting pot. For nerve cells

A

-50mV to -75mV

23
Q

What channels dominate membrane pot.

A

K plus channels

24
Q

2 things clinically relevant about ap arriving at neuromuscular junction

A
  • disease processes can alter sequence (ca reg. steps) eg. Myasthenia Gravis
  • drugs can block the process. Eg succinylcholine
25
Q

Effect of demyelination

A

Reduced conduction velocity

26
Q

Physiological effects at neurone level if given a drug blocking Na channels

A

??? No action potential formed / no depolarisation

27
Q

SNS receptors and G proteins

A

Alpha 1 = Gq
Alpha 2 = Gi
B1 = Gs

28
Q

PNS receptors and G proteins

A
B2 = Gs
M1 = Gq
M2 = Gi
29
Q

What r the differences between sns and pns arise from

A

Pns nuclei r found in brain stem and sacral region of spinal cord

Sns nuclei r found in thoracolumbar region of the spinal cord

30
