Unit 2 Flashcards
what band does not change in length during contraction (sarcomere)
A band
what decreases in length during contraction (sarcomere)
- sarcomere
- I-band
- H-zone
S1 region of thick filament
where thin filament binds
where ATP binds
S2 region of thick filament
flexible link between the head and tail region (bends during contraction)
what are the three binding sites on troponin
calcium, actin, tropomyosin
where does most of the calcium come from in skeletal muscle
sarcoplasmic reticulum
is skeletal muscle thin or thick filament regulated
thin filament regulated
smooth muscle characteristics
- not striated, no sarcomeres
- contains thick and think filaments
- use sliding filament mechanism for contraction (think along thick)
mechanism of latch state
- cross-bridge cycling is very slow - so slow that it is more like thin and thick are stuck together
- a protein forms a link between thick and thin filaments - caldesmon
sympathetic releases
NE
parasympathetic releases
ACh
enteric nervous system releases
NE, ACh, and many other NTs
characteristics of cardiac muscle
- heart is a hollow organ (smooth)
- coordinated contractions (smooth)
- fast contractions, short duration (skeletal)
- contains sarcomeres (skeletal)
- controlled by ANS and hormones (smooth)
where does Ca++ come from in cardaic muscle
outside cell and SR
where does Ca++ come from in smooth muscle
SR
which type of muscle involves calcium influx from the extracellular fluid during contractio n
cardiac and smooth muscle
which type of muscle involves calcium induced caclium release from the SR during contraction
cardiac and smooth muscle
re-entry arrythmias
due to slow or blocked conduction
atrial premature complexes (APCs)
area of atria other than SA node causes contraction
venctriuclar premature complexes (VPCs)
contraction starts in the ventricles
atrial flutter
fast but organized contraction rate of atria
atrial fibrilation
no organized contraction of the atria
* ventricles fast and irregular
ventricular fibrilation
no organized contraction of the ventricles
* no blood is being pumped - death
AV block
problems with spread of depolarization getting through the AV node
first degree AV block
long PR interval
second degree, type I AV block
PR interval lengthens until conduction faisl - P wave with no QRS complex
