Review Block 1 (pt2) Flashcards
what inhibits IL-6?
leptin
adipose tissue in this area can produce IL-6?
intraperitoneal fat
what kind of cartilage is this?
hyaline cartilage
what kind of cartilage is this?
fibrocartilage
fibrocartilage has what kind of collagen? how does it stain?
type 1 and eosinophillic
what type of collagen is hyaline cartilage? how does it stain?
type 2, basophillic
what is the organic part of bone?
hydroxyapatite and canaliculi
what is the inorganic part of bone?
collagen type 1
how does skeletal muscle contract?
strong, quick, discontinuous, voluntary
how are cardiac muscle contraction?
strong, quick, continuous, involuntary
how are smooth muscle contractions?
slow, weak, involuntary
what holds skeletal cells together?
dystrophin
in what part of skeletal muscle are fibroblasts?
endomysium
what is this?
cardiac muscle
what is this?
skeletal muscle
what is this?
smooth muscle
what do we find in the M line? and in the I band?
myosin; actin
how does a skeletal contraction happen?
1) motor neuron releases ACh
2) ACh binds to receptor
3) Na channel opens, Na rushes out
4) Wave of depolarization in sarcolemma
5) wave passes into cell via T tubules
6) triggers release of Ca ++ from sarcoplasmic reticulum
7) Ca 2+ causes interactions between myosin and actin causing contraction
8) Ca 2+ gets pumped back into sarcoplasmic reticulum to stop contraction
where is dystrophin?
under skeletal muscle
why do duchenne and beckers happen?
mutation in dystrophin gene
what is the cardiac node that depolarizes fastest?
SA node because its the leakeast
What do sympathetics do to the contractions in the heart?
it increases them
What do para-sympathetics do to the contractions in the heart?
decreases them
why is the functional syncytium important in the heart?
because due to the intercalated disks, when one cell depolarizes the rest follow
do smooth muscle have striations?
what about t tubule system?
what creates a functional syncytium in smooth muscle cells?
no
no
gap junctions
what is myasthenia gravis?
when immune system blocks nicotinic ACh receptors and impede contractions
what can cause myasthenia gravis?
de-involuted thymus
how do you treat myasthenia gravis?
immuno suppresants and ACh esterase inhibitor
what is this?
what are basophillic part around nucleus?
neuron
nissle bodies
do neurons have, euchromatic or heterochromatic nucleus?
euchromatic
nissle bodies are mostly what organelle?
RER
what is the yellow stuff?
how does it increase?
how does it get there?
where can it be found mostly?
lipofuscin
with age
lysosomes dont degrade some stuff
neurons
what are the glial cells of the CNS?
1) Oligodendrocytes
2) Astocytes
3) Microglia
what is the function of Astrocytes?
and of Oligodendrocytes?
what about Microglia?
Astro = blood brain barrier; regulate environment
Oligo = myelination
Micro = macrophages; line ventricular system
what are the glial cells of PNS?
Schwann cells
Satellite cells
What do satellite cells do?
and schwann cells?
satellite = astrocytes; regulate environment
schwann = myelination
what is this?
astrocytes
How are astrocytes visualized?
What do they contain?
immunohistochemistry
GFAP
what type of junction does the blood brain barrier have?
tight junctions
what is this?
astrocyte
what is this?
astrocyte
what is this?
astrocyte
what is this?
is it in CNS or PNS?
oligodendrocyte
CNS
what is this?
microglia
what are these cells and what do they release?
ependymal cells releasing CSF
what are the small brown cells surrounding the pink ones?
satellite cells
what is the resting membrane potential?
-70mv
when do Na channels open?
at -40 mv
