Q

Tight junctions and role in glucose transport

A

Need to bring glucose from the lumen to the blood. So have glucose transporters that are secondary active transporters that bring glucose from the lumen to the cell. Have glucose carriers that work by facilitated diffusion to bring glucose to the blood. Have high glucose in cell and low in lumen.

Tight junctions make sure that the glucose transporters and the glucose carriers stay in their respective side

Q

Tight junctions and heregulin

A

Tight junctions make sure that heregulin and its receptors stay on their respective side during normal times.

When the cell is injured, tight junctions will disappear allowing heregulin to bind to its receptor and heal the cell. This is an autocrine process

Myosin V mechanism

A

ADP is bound the to the two motor domains so it’s in the waiting state. When an ATP replaces the ADP, the motor domain moves and takes a step forward and lands in the 13th actin unit. This process is repeated until finally, ATP is hydrolyzed and myosin V goes back to the waiting state

  • Troponin C: high affinity for calcium
  • Troponin I: high affinity for actin
  • Troponin T: high affinity to tropomyosin
67
Q

Contraction

A

In the waiting state, ATP is bound to the myosin head

When it is hydrolyzed, myosin head begins to prepare to attach to actin

Attaches to actin and forms a cross-bridge

Inorganic phosphate is released and the myosin flocks the actin forwards

68
Q

Role of calcium

A

Calcium binds to troponin C which begins the whole process

69
Q

Muscle excitation

A

Acetylcholine is the main neurotransmitter and stimulate an action potential which allows T-tubules to allow the sarcoplasmic reticulum to allow calcium to release into the cytoplasm to allow it to bind to troponin C

When contraction is done, calcium goes back to the sarcoplasmic reticulum

70
Q

Sliding filament theory

A

The thick and thin filaments don’t change their length during contraction. They just slide over each other

71
Q

76
Q

Tetanus

Can be incomplete or complete

77
Q

79
Q

Ideal muscle length

A

2-2.5 micrometers

80
Q

Long fibers

A

3.65 micrometers. This results in no overlap of actin and myosin so no contraction can take place

81
Q

Short fibers

A

1.65 micrometers and fibers are always overlapping so also no contraction

82
Q

Isotonic contraction

A

Length of muscle changes but force is constant

Two types

  • Concentric
  • Eccentric
83
Q

Concentric

A

Length of muscle decreases

Ex: muscle lifting

84
Q

Eccentric

A

Muscle length increases

Ex: walking downstairs

85
Q

Ex: lifting up a desk

86
Q

Found in the SA node

90
Q

Purkinje cells

A

Contain in filaments and are impulse conducting cells. Non-differentiated muscle cells that can regenerate

91
Q

Stimulation of action potential

A

First sodium enters the cell in the SA node creating a graded potential. Once threshold potential is reached, calcium enters the cell and depolarizers it. Calcium that enters induces calcium in the sarcoplasmic reticulum to be released to induce contraction. When this is done, potassium channels open and calcium goes back to the sarcoplasmic reticulum

92
Q

Propagation of AP in heart

A

Begins in the SA node and goes to the internodal pathway and the atrioventricular nodes. From the atrioventricular nodes, goes to atrioventricular bundle (bundle of His), then to atrioventricular branch, and then to purkinje fibers in the apex

Parasympathetic trunk inhibits SA &AV nodes through the vagus nerve

99
Q

Smooth muscles

A

Don’t have striation actin filaments are longer than those in skeletal muscles and myosin is arranged vertically

Contraction of smooth muscle helps regulate blood flow, BP, and compliance

100
Q

Contraction of smooth muscle

A

When the cell is depolarized, voltage gated Ca channels open and bind to calmodulin. The complex dephosphorylates myosin light chain kinase and phosphorylates the myosin light chain

To deactivate it, myosin light chain phosphate dephosphorylates myosin light chain. Myosin light chain is activated by dephosphorylation

101
Q

Degree of contraction in smooth muscles

A

Is activated myosin light chain kinase is more than myosin light chain phosphates, then it leads to contraction and vice versa

102
Q

Vasoconstriction

A

  • Bringing calcium from outside to cytoplasm
  • Bringing from sarcoplasmic reticulum to cytoplasm
103
Q

A

Activating myosin light chain phosphatase

104
Q

Bringing calcium inside the cell

A
  • L type Ca channels
  • Receptor-operated channels: ligand has to bind to open
  • Mechanosensitive channels: responds to touch
  • Store-operated channels: used when Ca in sarcoplasmic reticulum is depleted and need more Ca
105
Q

Bringing calcium from sarcoplasmic reticulum to cytoplasm

A
  • IP3 receptor channels

- Ryanodine channel receptors: open by calcium-induced-calcium release

106
Q

Regulating L-type channels

A
  • AP from neighboring cells
  • Stretching of cells
  • Binding if ligand
  • Opening Ca-regulated chloride channels
  • Inhibiting K channels

By manipulating these receptors, can induce smooth muscle contraction/relaxation

Hyperpolarization/repolarization closes the channels and done by:

  • BKa: activates by Ca, NO
  • Kv: K voltage channels
  • Kir: activates during repolarization
  • KATP: inhibited by ATP and open during ischemia
107
Q

Contraction of smooth muscle with Ca-independent machanism

A

Angiotensin II binds to its receptor and relaease G12/13. This activated Rho-kinase which phosphorylates myosin light chain phosphatase making it inactive

108
Q

Blood collected from the nephron renal vein

128
Q

Materials traveling through nephron

A

Proximal tubule then descending thin tubule then ascending thin+thick tubules then distal tubule and then connecting segment (late distal tubule) then collecting duct

129
Q

Proximal tubule

A

Has invaginations in the basolateral membrane which increases surface area. Has brush border. Has a lot of mitochondria

Reabsorbed 2/3 of blood

130
Q

Thin descending+ascending of loop of Henle

A

Has poorly defined apical and basolateral surfaces. Low mitochondria and few invaginations if basolateral membrane

131
Q

Thick ascending loop of Henle

A

Has lots of invaginations in basolateral membrane and a lot of mitochondria

132
Q

Distal tubule

A

Have lots of invagination in basolateral surface and lots of mitochondria

133
Q

Connecting segment & colecting duct

A

Made of 2 types of cells:

  • Principal cells
  • Intercalated cells
134
Q

Principal cells

A

Are moderately invaginated and work to:

  • Reabsorb Na and secrete K
  • Help in water movement
135
Q

Intercalated cells

A

Plays a role in acid-base balance and is highly invaginated and has a lot of mitochondria

136
Q

Reabsorption/absorption

A

Moving from lumen, to apical and basolateral surface to blood

137
Q

Secretion

A

Moving from blood to basolateral and then apical surface to lumen

138
Q

Vectorial transport (paraceloular transport)

A

Transport along tight junctions of cells. All through facilitated diffusion set up by an electrochemical gradient

139
Q

K secretion and Na absorption

A

This is paraceullar transport. Na/K pump (on basolateral side) lumps in K and takes out Na. With high K, K leaves through its leaky channels on the apical side changing the membrane gradient to positive

This allows Na to enter through its channels on the apical surface and in general allows for the absorption of cations

140
Q

Transcellular transport

A

Getting through the cell by moving through the apical and then the basolateral and vice versa

One process is active and the other is passive

Uses cotransport and countertransport

141
Q

Cotransport

A

Two ions move together in the same direction. Also known as a symporter

Ex: Na-glucose, Na-K-2Cl, Na-3HCO3

142
Q

Countertransport

A

Also known as exchangers and antiporters. One molecule moves in and the other molecule moves out

Ex: Na-H exchanger, Na-protein exchanger

143
Q

Water channels

A

Also known as aquaporins that help in moving water

They are gated in plant cells so the plant cell doesn’t overflow with water

144
Q

Aquaporin 1

A

Located on the apical and basolateral surfaces of the proximal tubule and thin descending loop

145
Q

No aquaporins on…

A

Thin and thick ascending tubule

146
Q

Aquaporins 2

A

On connecting segment. Located on the apical side and is activated by an anti diuretic to reabsorb water

Also located in cortical collecting duct

147
Q

Aquaporins 3

A

Located on outer medullary collecting duct on basolateral surface

148
Q

Aquaporins 4

A

Located in basolateral side of inner medullary collecting duct

149
Q

Uniporters

A

Bring in only one molecule

150
Q

Permeability of tight junctions

A

Regulated by claudins. Proximal tubule and thin descending tube have higher permeability so have loose claudin (claudin 2)

Distal tubule and collecting duct has low permeability so have tight claudins like claiming 3,4, and 8

151
Q

Regulating epithelial transport by signals

A
  • Retrieve transporters from membrane or insert into the membrane
  • Produce new transporters
  • Change activity of transporters
152
Q

Norepeniphrines effect on epithelial transport

A

Binds to B receptors and stimulates Na and water reabsorption

153
Q

Aldosterone

A

Regulated Na levels and helps in secreting K and reabsorbed Na

154
Q

Blood flow

A

Movement of blood in vessels

155
Q

Blood flow (rate)

A

Total volume of blood that flows through a period of time (L/min)

156
Q

Velocity

A

Tells how fast the blood is moving (cm/s)

157
Q

Cardiac output

A

Total blood flow out of the heart, has to equal venous return otherwise blood will accumulate in the pulmonary or systemic circulations
