what happens when Ca2+ binds to troponin on actin filaments?
tropomyosin is moved to uncover cross bridge binding sites on actin
what happens cellularly in rigor mortis?
no ATP present so myosin head remains attached to actin fibre
example of isotonic contractions?
body movements and moving objects
example of isometric contractions
supporting objects in fixed positions and maintaing body posture
do skeletal muscles have a neuromuscular junction?
yes
do skeletal muscles have a gap junction
no
where do skeletal muscles get CA from
entirely sacroplasmic retinculim
where do cardiac muscels get CA from
ECF and sacroplasmiic reticulum
what are the 3 metabolic pathways which supply ATP in muscle fibres?
creatine phosphate (transfer of high energy phosphate from creatine phosphate to ADP) oxidative phosphorylation (main source when O2 is present) glycolysis (main source when O2 is not present)
describe type 1 muscle fibres
slow twitch
prolonged, low work eg walking
abundance of myoglobin + mitochondria
decsirbe 2a type muscles fibres
fast oxidative
prolonged moderate work eg jogging
uncommon
describe type 2b muscle fibres
fast glycocytic
short term, high intensity work eg jumping
fatigue early
few mitochondria + less myoglobin than T1
what is the sensory receptor of the stretch reflex
muscle spindle
what is the stretch reflex
a negative feedback that resists a passive change in muscle length to maintain optimal resting length of muscle
which fibres are sound in muscle spindle and how do they run
intrafusal fibres
found in muscle belly and run parallel to extrafusal fibres (normal fibres)
what are the sensory nerve endings of muscle spindles called
annulospiral fibres
what is the efferent nerve supply of muscle spindles
gamma motor neurones
which components of hyaline cartialge act as elassticy and reduce friction
water + proteoglycans
what is the definitoin of OA
articular cartilage thinning or loss
early vs late events of OA
early - injury to chondrocytes + matrix, fibrillation
late - inflammaotry changes in synovium + subchondral bone –> bone on bone
which scale is used for OA
kellgren - lawrence
surgical treatment for OA
THA
what causes reactive arthritis
chlamydia, shigella and salmonella
what is the cause of enteric arthritis
organisms with high lipopolysaccharides in cell wall trigger immune reaction
what bug causes infectious arthritis in kids
h influenza
what bus causes infectious arthritis in adults
staph aureus
explain the mechanisms behind increased uric acid synthesis?
diet -> purines -> xanthine -> uric acid
what causes hyperuriacemia?
idiopathic 90%
HGORT enzyme deficiency (lesche nyhans syndrome)
increased cell turn over eg cancer and psoriasis
causes of reduced excretion of uric acid?
thiazide diuretics
definition of gout
inflammatory arthriis caused by deposition of uric acid in joints
>0.42mmol/L
