Q

What do tropomyosin do at rest and at contraction?

31
Q

What are the tropnins?

A

T: tropomyosin- bind tropomyosin to actin
I: inhibitor- inhibit actin + myosin
C: calcium- calcium binds to it allow contraction.

32
Q

How to check myocardial infraction?

A

CKMB (most specific) & cardiac troponin 1 (most specific)

33
Q

What are the cytoskeletal proteins involved in architecture of myofibril?

A

Actinin: bind actin to z disc

titin: bind myosin via string
dystrophin: anchors to cytoskeleton
nebullin: extend actin

34
Q

What does lack of dystrophin do?

A

muscle dystrophy- sacrollema doesnt attach to cytoskeleton

Causes respiratory failure + muscle wasting

35
Q

True or false- skeletal muscle have striations.

36
Q

Is skeletal muscle a triad or diad?

37
Q

What 3 elements cause contraction?

A

SR + transverse tubular system + calcium

38
Q

Whats structure of triad and diad?

A

triad: 2 SR + 2 terminal cisternae
diad: 1 SR + terminal cisternae

39
Q

True or false- t tubular carries AP

40
Q

True or false- diad is at AI junction and triad at z junction

A

False- diad at z and triad at AI

41
Q

How is calcium released in ECC?

A
  • AP is carried along NMJ
  • ACh released in synaptic cleft
  • Bind to Na channel- depolarizes sacrolemma
  • conformation change
  • calcium channel activated- depolarize t tubules
  • Calcium binds to troponin c
42
Q

What is stages of contractile cycle?

A
  1. attachment
  2. release
  3. bending
  4. force generation
  5. reattachment
43
Q

Whats attachment in CC?

A

Rigor configuration- actin and myosin bind.

44
Q

Whats release in CC?

A

ATP bind to myosin
Affinity of actin site to myosin changes (lower)
conformation of actin
Myosin releases

45
Q

Whats bending in CC?

A
  • Myosin head advances
  • ATP becomes ADP and attaches to myosin
  • bending
46
Q

Whats force generstion in CC?

A
  • Phosphate changes affinity of actin + myosin
  • affinity increase
  • powerstroke = unbent
  • ADP lost
  • Myosin bind
47
Q

Whats myasthenia gravis?

A

Antibodies see that ACh is foreign- NMJ is messed up.

48
Q

What is symptom of myasthenia gravis?

A

Limb + respiratory + ocular.

49
Q

What is treatment of myasthenia?

A

immunosuppressive drug, ACh inhibitor and thyrectomy

50
Q

what is the cell in the heart?

A

Contractile cell

51
Q

What junctions are there in heart?

A

G intercalated disc/gap junction

52
Q

Is heart triad or diad?

53
Q

True or false- calcium in myocardial cell triggers more release from SR

54
Q

Whats hypertrophic cardiomypathy?

A

Mutation in myosin heavy chain- growth in heart.

  • SCD
  • Prone to arrhythmia
55
Q

True or false- smooth has no stiriation

56
Q

True or false- skeletal has dense bodies

A

false- smooth

57
Q

True or false- skeletal has dense bodies

A

false- smooth

58
Q

What are the types of smooth muscle?

A

Multiunit= no coupling or electricity or space

Unitary=gap junction + electricity

59
Q

What is an example of multiunit muscle?

A

iris + vas defrens

60
Q

What is an example of unitary muscle?

A

uterer + uterus + bladder

61
Q

True or false- contraction of skeletal + cardiac is the same

A

True both use Ca2+

62
Q

How is contraction different in smooth muscle?

A
  • ECC

- Has calmodium not troponin

63
Q

What 3 factors allow contraction in smooth muscle?

A
  • Depolarization (normal contraction)
  • Hormone
  • Neurotransmitter
64
Q

How does depolarization control smooth muscle contraction?

A

Depolarization –> vgcc open –> ca induced ca release from SR –> calcium rise and bind to CALMODIUM –> myosin light chain kinase reaction (contraction) –> use ATP –> myosin + actin

65
Q

How do hormones control smooth muscle contraction?

A

ligand gated channel –> ca induced ca release from SR –> calcium rise and bind to CALMODIUM –> myosin light chain kinase reaction (contraction) –> use ATP –> myosin + actin

66
Q

How do neurotransmitter control smooth muscle contraction?

A

IP3 –> ca release from SR –> calcium rise and bind to CALMODIUM –> myosin light chain kinase reaction (contraction) –> use ATP –> myosin + actin

67
Q

Whats the difference between myosin light chain kinase and myosin light chain phosphate?

A

Kinase: cross bridge
phosphate: no cross bridge

68
Q

True or false- SR in triad is more complex than diad

69
Q

True or false- cardiac and smooth arent multinucleated

70
Q

True or false- smooth has T tubules.

A

False- cardiac + skeletal

71
Q

True or false- skeletal has junction

A

false- cardiac- intercalated and smooth- gap

72
Q

True or false-Calcium in skeletal is in terminal cisternae and in cardiac its in extracellular

73
Q

True or false- Cardiac is the only one that can regenerate

A

False- CANT

74
Q

True or false- smooth muscles undergo mitosis

75
Q

What is O2 debt?

A

exercise= more blood= more dilation= more oxygen= more energy
At one point its not enough- phosphylcreatine make ATP + lactate
Lactate stop enzyme that control pH
Myoglobin used
O2 then collected later and gets rid of lactate

76
