Midterm Flashcards
fastest conducting fiber of all nerve fibers?
A-Alpha
largest in diameter and most heavily myelinated
slowest of the A fibers?
Delta
fiber for motor function and proprioception?
A-Alpha
Fiber for motor function, touch, and pressure sensation?
A-Beta
Fiber for Muscle spindles and reflex?
A-Gamma
Fibers for pain and temperature sensation?
A-Delta
only fibers that are unmyelinated?
C fibers
Fibers that conduct pain and temperature impulses?
C fibers
A-Delta too?
which fibers are least sensitive to local anesthetics?
A-Alpha
which fibers are the most sensitive to LA?
C fibers
what property helps LA bind inside the nerve?
A tertiary Amine
What property makes the LA lipophilic?
Unsaturated aromatic ring system
how are Ester and amide structurally different?
intermediate carbon group - The linkage between the aromatic ring system and the tertiary Amine
(this is what makes the 2 different for metabolism and allergic reactions)
an addition of what structurally results in greater protein binding?
large chemical radicals
lipid potency correlates with what?
protein binding
