FLAT PEG
If you are an Olympian Sprinter, you would hope that genetically you had inherited a disproportionate number of what type of skeletal muscle fibers?
Type 2B
When one works out, his or her blood CO2 levels go ______, blood pH goes ____ and the _____ of the brain assess the current blood pH and one would start to breathe faster
Up; down; Medulla oblongata
The primary reason why the action potential of smooth muscle cell “rolls” instead of “spikes” during the deep polarization is smooth muscle has (an) ________
Fewer fast Voltage Gated NA+ channels
The micro anatomy of a skeletal muscle cell shows that the presence of ________ allows an action potential to travel “deep” into the middle of that cell and eventually that ATP opens a _______ channel, thus facilitating the beginning of a cross bridge being formed post binding of Ca++ troponin
T-tubules; Voltage gated Ca++
Which medical condition is characterized Rheumatoid arthritis
long-term autoimmune disorder that affects joints
o Typically in wrist and hands
Names for one skeletal muscle cell?
Myofiber; myocyte
Hormones that elevate blood sugar are:
-Glucagen
-GH
-Epinephrine
-Cortisol
-Adrenaline
When one analyzes the formula: Delta G = Delta H -T(Delta S), AND considers ATP hydrolysis in terms of thermodynamics, ATP hydrolysis is a ______ Delta H reaction and a ______ Delta S reaction
Negative; positive
If one is legally, consuming C2H50H (alcohol) that has caffeine in it, we would expect his or her ADH (vasopressin or anti-diuretic hormone) levels to be ______, urine volume to be _____ and the color of the urine to be ______
Low; high; clear
Drugs that are nicotenic, ACH receptors antagonist and that upregulate the neurotransmitter GABA are more than likely ______.
Muscle relaxants
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a neurotransmitter, a chemical messenger in your brain
If growth hormone or GH is elevated due to a pituitary gland edema, this is probably in medical condition known as ______.
Acromegaly
Which muscle or muscle types have actin and myosin?
Skeletal; Cardiac; Smooth
A graph is shown of a line increasing but still below the Threshold, what channel or gate is being opened at this time?
Na+ leak channel
(E.P.S.P)
Gout is a medical condition whereby there is a buildup of ______ that is insufficiently filtered by the ______.
Uric acid; kidney
When a neuron elicits an action potential, a _______ channel opens when the AP “hits” it. The vesicles of neurotransmitter will de-dock, bind, fuse and exocytosis their contents into the synapse. Neurotransmitter diffuses across the synapse and binds to a _____ which should facilitate either an IPSP or an EPSP.
VG Ca++; ligand-gated receptor/channel
Where on an AP graph is the minimum created depolarization to open the voltage game potassium channels?
Very top of AP hill where depolarization ends and repolarization begins (K+ channel opens)
Where on an AP graph does hyperpolarization start to occur?
Once the K+ gate is fully closed and after depolarization has occurred (lowest part on the graph)
Where on an AP graph is the membranes permeability to sodium ions at its maximum?
At the highest peak on the AP graph right after the depolarization occurs
Where have we seen/studied a VG Ca++ channel that can open and allow Ca++ to diffuse down its concentration gradient passively?
-End of a neuron( close to pre-synaptic membrane)
-sarcoplasmic reticulum
-the SA Node of the cardiac “pacemaker”
Insulin is produced by ______ cells of the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas. Insulin binds to a Tyrosine kinase receptor and upregulates a protein called ______ which ultimately ______ blood sugar.
-Beta
-GLUT4
-lowers
Hormones that we have studied this semester that promote erythropoesis (produces red blood cells) or hematopoesis (formation of blood cellular components) is/are:
-EPO
-IGF1
What hormones/molecules are made and released from the POSTERIOR pituitary?
Flat peg endorphins?
-ADH (or vasopressin)
-Oxytocin
When lactate is shuttled, _______ are involved and the _____ will lactate back to pyruvate where the pyruvate can go through Krebs, gluconeogenesis, or the pyruvate can be put back into the bloodstream.
MCT proteins; liver
transmembrane proteins that play a crucial role in various metabolic pathways by facilitating the transport of L-lactate and pyruvate across the cell membrane
