Q

(transport rate on RBC)

how can ammonium ions enter the cell?

A

when they convert to ammonia= NH3+H
the proton goes to the HCO3- buffer
and ammonia enters the cell freely
inside cell becomes NH4 again (intracellular becomes alkaline)

37
Q

(transport rate on RBC)

what is the reason we will have a sudden drop in the absorbance upon adding NaHCO3?

A

bcs we have the HCO3/Cl exchanger that enhace that enhances the accumulation of Cl and NH4 inside the RBC

38
Q

(transport rate on RBC)

first step: how much of bllod? how much of solution we need?

A

100 microL blood
3mL phys seline
and for all the rest same amount

39
Q

(transport rate on RBC)

what will happen when we put the blood with urea?

A

urea enters the RBC through UT-B -> cell will swell (osmotically active)
we have a lower optical density bcs of the cells burst!

40
Q

(transport rate on RBC)

what will happen when we put the blood with glucose?

A

glucose enter the RBC slower then urea theough the GLUT1

41
Q

(transport rate on RBC)

what will happen when we put the blood with NH4Cl?

A

NH4Cl seperates to NH4+ and Cl
NH4 seperates to NH3 and H
NH3 enters the cell freely
and Cl enters the cell throgh HCO3/Cl exchanger
-> acoumulation of NH4Cl inside the cell slowly

42
Q

(transport rate on RBC)
what will happen when we put the blood with NH4Cl?
and after 1 min add the NaHCO3

A

enhances the HCO3/Cl exchanger work so the cells swell and burst more rapidly
CO2 diffuses freely when we add NaHCO3

43
Q

(ABO type by “two-sided”)

which blood should we use?

A

unknown tube with serum seperated from the RBC (we can see the seperation)
also we have 3 known RBC (A,B,O)

44
Q

(ABO type by “two-sided”)

what should we put on the antibody plate?

A

below anti A we put- drop of antibody A + drop of 10% RBC suspension
same for B and AB
in the 4th place we put- drop of 10% RBC suspension + the unknown serum

45
Q

(ABO type by “two-sided”)

how do you start the experiment?

A

COAT! GLOVES!
pour the unknown serum to a different tube
mix the remaining serum+RBC
take 3 drops from it with 1mL of seline (this is our 10% RBC suspension)

46
Q

(ABO type by “two-sided”)

descibe the blood type plate-

A

we have A, B, O letters
beneath the letter A we put- A known RBC (it has antigene A on its surface!!!)
we put also the unknown serum
repeat for B, O

A

We measure frequency and amplitude of SMCs contractions. Mechanoelectric transducer is attached to the smooth muscle wall.

Tyrode - Isosmotic solution.

For general extracellular fluid in 38 degrees.

A

6 - 9 per Min

79
Q

(Smooth muscle activity)
What is the first task?
What do we learn from it?

A

Hypoxia:
Lowers the frequency and amplitude of contractions.
Reversible as long as there is no tissue damage

80
Q

(Smooth muscle activity)
What is the 2nd task?
What do we learn from it?

A

Acetyl-Choline: (ascending conc.)
M3 receptors are activated - Gq activates the SMC to have higher Ca and Increase contractillity tone.
Amplitude is higher (frequency same).

81
Q

(Smooth muscle activity)
What is the 3rd task?
What do we learn from it?

A

Atropine:
M3 receptors are blocked- inhibits Ach activation causing Ca signal to be unchanged from normal.
Amplitude is the same. same same but different.

82
Q

(Smooth muscle activity)
What is the 4th task?
What do we learn from it?

A
Ach- Esterase:
Added stigmazan (Neostigmin isoform) - inihibits Ach-Esterase  - causing Ach to stay longer in the Post-synaptic position. Higher Contractillity.
83
Q

(Smooth muscle activity)
What is the 5th task?
What do we learn from it?

A

cAMP:
PKA is activated - Phosphorylates and Inactivates MLCK (Myosin light chain Kinase). MLC is not activated - No contraction - Amplitude goes down.

84
Q

(Fish Heart)

What is the special features of the fishs heart?

A

1) One circulation cycle.

2) Doesnt contain coranary vessels (Straub heart - Nutrients directly from enviroment).

85
Q

(Fish Heart)

What is the special solution do we put this shitty fish in?

A

Ringer Lactate solution.

It provides the heart with ATP.

86
Q

(Fish Heart)

What is the surgical intervention done in order to help us measure the parameters from this shity fish?

A

It is a decapitated Fish.

So it has no PARA/SYM connections to periphery.

87
Q

(Fish Heart)

How do we measure contraction?

A

The fish heart is hanged by a thread and each contractio pulls the thread and the mechanotransducer picks up the pull.

88
Q

(Fish Heart)

Observations from the 1st experiment?

A

Temprature - increase will cause higher contraction frequency and force (and vice versa).

89
Q

(Fish Heart)

Observations from the 2nd experiment?

A

Extrasystole and compensatory pause - When introduced with electrical stimulus another systole period is shown. (except from when it is in refractory period).

90
Q

(Fish Heart)

Observations from the 3rd experiment?

A

Stannuis Ligatures -

1) Seperation of Sinus venosus and atria of the heart, similar to AV Block. Lower HR.
2) Seperation of Atria of the heart and Ventricles, pacemaking is from Ventricles - Even Lower HR.
