Q

What are the roles of the Na+/K+-ATPase in cellular
physiology?

A

1-It has role in activating exchanger
2_preventing accumulation of na + and so water then cell swelling and death
3_if the na accumulate the na_ca exchanger will be reversed and a lot of ca will accumulate and cell toxicity and cell death

Q

In which part of kidney bicarbonate is reabsorbed and how ?

A

First by activation of na k ATPase in the wall between blood vessel and cell na will go to blood while k increase inside the cells
So in the lumen we have a salt (NaHco3) will be disconnected to Hco3 combine with H+ to form H2CO3 and in order to enter the cell it has to be converted to H2O and CO2 by CARBONIC ANHYDRASE

Q

Mechanism of Na+ reabsorption by kidney

A

60% reabsorbed in proximal tubule by Na-H exchanger
30% reabsorbed in thick ascending loop of Henle by Na-k-2cl cotransporter

Q

What is equilibrium potential

A

➢ The Equilibrium Potential for an ion is the membrane potential at which there is no net movement of the ion across the membrane. (Conc. Gradient = Elec. Gradient)

Q

Name three Drugs that affect AP

A

1-PROCAINE :local anesthetic,block Na channels
2-tetrodotoxin : block voltage gated Na channels (Japanese poison ☠️)
3-AMINOPYRIDINE :blocks voltage gated K channels (broader AP)

17
Q

Classification of voltage gated Ca+2 channels

A

They were initially divided into two classes
• High Voltage activated (HVA) : L, N, P/Q & R-
types channels
• low-voltage-activated(LVA) Ca+2 channels: T- type channels. (tiny, transient)
• R-type is occasionally classified as ( IVA ) channels

18
Q

Myasthenia graves

A

is a neuromuscular disease leading to fluctuating muscle weakness and fatiguability. It is an autoimmune disorder, in which weakness is caused by circulating antibodies that block acetylcholine receptors at the post-synaptic neuromuscular junction, inhibiting the stimulative effect of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Myasthenia is treated medically with cholinesterase inhibitors (neostigmine)or immunosuppressants and in selected cases with thymectomy.

19
Q

20
Q

Setting up and maintaining Ca2+ Gradient depend on

A
  1. Relative impermeability of the pl. membrane
  2. The ability to expel Ca2+ across the plasma membrane by: a) PMCa2+ ATPase ( primary active ) , high affinity +low capacity

  2. Ca2+ release from ‘rapidly-releasable’ stores:
    a) G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)
    b) Ca2+ induced Ca2+ release (CICR)
  3. Non-rapidly releasable stores (mitochondria)
