Q

functional anatomy of heart

A

1-deoxyblood enters from sup and inf vena cava
2-blood flows to right atrium to tricuspid valve to right ventricle
3-through pulmonary valve (semilunar) out through pulmonary artery to lungs
4-oxyblood from lungs enters to left atrium through pulmonary veins
5-enters left atrium through bicuspid (mitral) valve to left ventricle
6-blood leaves through aortic valve to aorta

Q

what is the mechanism of spontaneous rhythmic contractions

A

-high frequency excitation comes from SA node (pacemaker) or (venous sinus in frogs) but atria and ventricle also generate spontaneous contractions but at a lower frequency
-different issues in the heart generate excitation but at different frequencies

Q

Spontaneous generation of excitation

A

-occurs in SA node (right atrium) and excitation spreads to AV node where delay of excitation occurs, after delay reaches bundle of hiss and then purkinje fibres to the ventricular wall

Q

what’s intrinsic pacemaker frequency

A

-if we remove all the external regulatory influence from heart then different regions of heart produce a different frequency or excitation so what the intrinsic frequency is without regulation

Q

compare both graphs for SA node and ventricular muscle

A

-resting membrane potenital for ventricular muscle is constant -80mV so won’t generate AP and requires arrival of excitation of another region to evoke AP, for SA node its minimum value of membrane potential is more positive like -65mV, also not stable resting membrane potential

Q

ion channel of human SA node:
-I f (funny current)

A

-channel = HCN4 (HCN1)
-ion = Na+
-direction = in
-function = pacemaker potential activated by hyper polarisation -> -50mV & cAMP

23
Q

ion channel of human SA node:
-I Ca, T

A

-channel = T type VDCC
-ion = Na+, Ca2+
-direction = in
-function = initial depolarisation (-50, -60 mV), transiet (channel deactivates), tiny (small channel conductance)

24
Q

ion channel of human SA node:
-I Ca, L

A

-channel = L type VDCC
-ion = Ca2+
-direction = in
-function = depolarisation (-20 ~ -30 mV), long lasting

25
Q

ion channel of human SA node:
-I K

A

-channel = several voltage-gated types
-ion = K+
-direction = out
-function = repolarisation

26
Q

ion channel of human SA node:
-I K,ACh

A

-channel = GIRK1/GIRK4
-ion = K+
-direction = out
-function = hyperpolarisation in response to ACh (vagus N)

27
Q

sequence of channels

A

1-repolarization (less than -50mV)
2-Na reflux (If current open)
3-depolarisation: prepotential
-reaches -55mV –> T channel for Na+ and Ca2+ influx
4-depolarisation
–50mV If current stops
–25mV L ch: Ca2+ influx (open)
5-further depolarisation
-T ch inactivated (closed) (transient)
6-K+ channels open and K+ outward current
7- repolarisation
-L ch close
-T ch recovers from inactivition
-If current increases

28
Q

inhibitors of current

A

-If current inhibited by ivabradine
-T ch inhibited by verapamil

29
Q

if someone is treated with ivabradine what happens to heart rate?

A

-heart rate decreases

30
Q

what are chronotropic effects

A

-effects that increase or decrease the heart rate

31
Q

regulation of heart rate
sympathetic:
supplied by and chronotropic effect

A

-cervical and upper thoracic ggl.
-positive chronotropic effect so increase

32
Q

regulation of heart rate
parasympathetic:
supplied by and chronotropic effect

A

-vagus nerve
-negative chronotropic effect so decrease

33
Q

what does the vagus nerve innervate and what part of the heart does it not innervate?

A

-right vagus - SA node, -ve chronotropic effect
-left vagus - AV node, in healthy heart does not effect the heart rate but decreases speed of conduction
-vagus does not innervate ventricles

34
Q

what changes by regulation of the heart

A

-value of minimum diastolic potential (most -ve value of Em)
-slope of prepotenital (rate of diastolic depolarisation)

35
Q

what does the post ggl neuron of the sympathetic system release? and what is its receptor? and effects on

A

-NE
-B1 receptor
-increase cAMP, If, Ica,L

36
Q

what does the post ggl neuron of the parasympathetic system release? and what is its receptor? and effects on ????????skip

A

-Ach
-M2 muscurinic receptor
decrease cAMP, If, Ica,L

37
Q

2 properties of HCN channel

A

1- activated by hyperpolarisation
2-activated by cAMP binding

38
Q

difference between Ca dependant voltage T type and L type channel

A

-L type has higher (more positive) threshold for opening

39
Q

what happens if pacemaker activity of SA node fails?

A

-the other cells containing HCN channel that produce funny current take over excretory activity
-region with highest rate of depolarization can take over pacemaker activity -therefore second highest frequency region takes over

40
Q

which regions become a pacemaker if SA node activity fails?

A

-AV node
-AV bundle of his

1-conducted stimulus
2-depolarization at -60mV
3-Na+ ch open, o Na+ flux
4-causes further depolarisation
5-IRK K+ ch close

what is the L type voltage dependent Ca2+ channel depend regulated by

A

Protein Kinase A activates it

48
Q

importance of activation of B1 receptor of cardiac myocyte

A

-production of cAMP
-activation of PKA
-phosphorylation of L type channel
