Week 5 Flashcards
What are the determinants of gait
- Pelvic drop - using hip abductors
- Pelvic rotation
- Knee flexion - reduces inertial change
- Ankle joint and foot
- Lateral displacement of body
Gluteus maximus deficit
i. Paralyzed non-functional extensors of the hip
ii. People will walk leaning back
iii. Can accompany paralyzed abductors
1. Lurch-tilt walk
Antalgic gait
i. Occurs with a painful hip or paralysis of abductor mm., primarily gluteus medius m.
ii. Determine competency by Trendelenburg test
iii. We normally walk with a positive Trendelenburg!
Quadriceps deficit
cannot extend knee so they put out a straight leg and “vault” over
Anterior leg deficit (foot drop)
cannot dorsiflex which results in “foot drop” so they walk with a high step to clear foot
-damage to common fibular n.
What anchors actin cytoskeleton to sarcolemma
Dystrophin
Subneural clefts at the NMJ
-Crests vs troughs
Crests - Ach gated channels
Trough - Voltage gated Na+ channels
Dantrolene MoA
blocks RyR1 (ryanodine-1 receptor) -calcium release channel
DHP-ryanodine receptor interaction
-where are each located
DHP -> on T-tubule
Ryanodine -> on terminal cisternae of sarcoplasmic reticulum
2 ways for calcium release in to sarcoplasm
- mechanical couple of DHP-Ryanodine receptors (MAJOR)
- activation of ryanodine receptor by release of Ca++ from DHP receptors (nor required in skeletal muscle)
Components of thin and thick filaments
THIN FILAMENTS
- actin
- tropomyosin
- troponin
THICK
-myosin
Role of calsequestrin
Binds Ca++ in the SR to prevent buildup
Role of ATP in muscle contraction
- causes dissociation of myosin head from actin
- hydrolyzes to place myosin head back into cocked state
What cause the power-stroke
release of phosphate from myosin head
Type 1 vs Type II fibers
Type 1
- slow twitch
- lots of mitochondria
- low glycogen content
Type IIa+b
- fast twitch
- low mitochondria
- high glycogen content
Stains for muscles fibers
- Trichome
- Succinate DH
- ATPase at pH 4.6
- ATPase at pH 10
- Mitochondria and myelin
- Complex 2 of respiratory chain
- Type I is darkest IIa is the lightest
- Type I is light and Type II is dark
Only muscular dystrophy to show inflammation
