A

Actin and Tropomyosin

32
Q

Direct trauma

A

physical injury, surgery, strenuous exercise, or IM injection

33
Q

CK

o Severe disorders caused by adverse effects that
triggers dopamine receptors

A

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome

34
Q

CK

A

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome
Chronic skeletal muscle damage

35
Q

Protein marker found in skeletal muscle and NOT found in cardiac muscle

A

Carbonic Anhydrase – III

36
Q

Type of muscle injury

A

RHABDOMYOLYSIS

37
Q

Caused by:

A

drugs (ethanol & cocaine), viral infections, extreme
exertion, crush injuries, ischemia of lower extremities and
inflammatory myopathies

38
Q

Higher total CK w/ myoglobinuria

A

RHABDOMYOLYSIS

39
Q

: release of cell contents (K+, PO5, and nucleotides)

A

“Cell lysis syndrome”

40
Q

Muscle fiber die causing release of cell contents ito
the blood stream

A

RHABDOMYOLYSIS

41
Q

RHABDOMYOLYSIS Complication :

A

kidney / renal failure

42
Q

Kidney cannot process the contents of muscle fiber that passes through the glomerulus

A

RHABDOMYOLYSIS

43
Q

RHABDOMYOLYSIS TYPES

A

• Cardiac Muscle Injury (CMI), Skeletal Muscle Injury (SMI), Rhabdomyolysis (RML)

44
Q

Difficult to distinguish the two

A

Cardiac Muscle injury existing with Skeletal Muscle
injury

45
