Test 3 Flashcards
Sketch the events of actin movement in skeletal movement
See study guide
What on sarcomeres cover actin binding sites and what binds to sarcomers and where to cause movement
Tropomyosin covers binding sites, and Ca+2 binds to troponin to cause movement
Sketch the events that cause NT release deep in a cell
See study guide
What is isotonic vs isometric movement
Isometric movement is when there is no seeable movement while isotonic movement is noticable change
Sketch the myotactic reflex
See study guide
What are the events of mysoin movement with smooth muscle
Ca+2 binds to calmodulin which the binds to MLCK. This complex puts a phosphate onto the myosin head then ATP comes in and splits into a phosphate and ADP to cause movement similar to with skeletal muscle
Why does O2 not enter water easily and leave water easily
H bonds (+ charge on H and - charge on O) push O2 out and leave no room of O2 to enter the cell
When is bulk flow efficient
Only when the travel distance is short
Sketch O2 diffusing to cells
See study guide
What does an O2 dissociation curve look like for Hg
% of O2 saturation on the Y scale and mmHg on the X. Once saturation reaches 80 mmHg it is at 100% saturation
What does an O2 dissociation curve for myoglobin look like
% of O2 saturation on the Y scale and mmHg on the X. Once saturation reaches ~30 mmHg it is at 100% saturation
Sketch was the conversion of CO2 into its different forms in the body

What does counter current exchange look like in gills
Deoxy blood goes in from the right joining with water to then leave the gills as oxygenated blood; can remove up to 80% or more of the oxygen from the water
Sketch bird lungs and the counter current exchange in the parabronchi

What are the solute concentrations in a mammal kidney and what is the relationship between mOsm and molarity
300, 700, 1400; highest concentration in the middle. mOsm is molarity multiplied by the number of molecules
