Q

What’s the process of bone remodelling

A
  1. Activated osteoclasts scoop out bone and reabsorb it
  2. Osteoblasts lay down a new section of bones
  3. Osteocytes are spread throughout bone matrix
    Transmit signal, recruit or inhibit osteoblast and osteoclast this influencing bone remodelling

Q

What are the 3 phases of bone remodelling

A

Phase 1. Activation: a stimuli (ie physical stressor increased PTH secretion) activate osteoclast cell death (apoptosis)

Phase 2. Rrabsorption: osteoclast gradually digest bone minerals and leave behind a reabsorption cavity

Phase 3 formation : the layer down of new bone by osteoblasts line the walls of the reabsorption cavity

Successive layers (lamellae) in compact bone are then laid down until reabsorption cavity is reduced to a narrow Haversian canal

Q

What are the 4 step process of muscle contraction

A

Excitation

Coupling

Contraction

Relaxation

90
Q

What happens in excitation stage

A

The spread is an action potential from nerve terminal to neuromuscular junction

Rapid depolarization of membrane initiates a muscle fibre action potentially

Action potential spreads along sarcolemmal membrane to T tubules

Triggers receptors in a wall of T tumble to open channels releasing calcium for SR( sarcoplasmic reticulum)

91
Q

Coupling stage

A

Migration of calcium to myofilaments
Calcium affects the muscle proteins troponin and tropomyosin

Troponin: is a globular protein located on thin filament, Troponin in presence of calcium promotes actin-myosin activation

Tropomyosin is a thing filament protein, blocks binding sites on actin, prevents cross bridge formation and muscle contraction

92
Q

Muscle contraction
contraction (cross bridge theory)

A

Calcium combines with troponin

Actin ( thin filament) slides onto myosin (thick filament)

Myosin heads attach to actin muscles, forms a cross-bridge (actin myosin complex)

ATP (cellular energy) release from actin-myosin complex when cross bridges attach

Sarcomere shortens and cause tension

93
Q

Muscle contraction process
Step 4. Relaxation

A

ATP pumps move calcium out of sarcoplasm back into SR

Breaks link between actin and myosin(thick)

Cross bridge detach

Muscle loses its tension, Sarcomere lengthens and relax

94
Q

All the following are correct regarding the role of tropomyosin in muscles contraction except

A

a. It is a rope like structure that prevent cross bridge formation
b. A globular protein found on myosin (thick filament) and combines with calcium
c. Blocked myosin binging site on actin and prevents muscle contraction
d. A major component of the thin filament in skeletal muscle
