L2: Homeostasis-maintaining physiological variables
- Explain the underlying principles of physiological homeostasis, including the importance of negative feedback - Describe the role of the autonomic nervous system in physiological control - Describe the role of hormonal systems in physiological control - Describe the role of paracrine homeostatic signalling in physiological control - Describe feed-forward and positive feedback control mechanisms
23  cards
L3: Muscle Cell Function
• Describe the basic structure of cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle. • Describe how the membrane potential changes in different muscle types and it’s role in triggering contraction. • Recognise the central role of Ca in muscle contraction. Describe the process by which changes in membrane potential elevate Ca and trigger contraction in cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle – the process of excitation-contraction coupling.
