Study These Flashcards
A 
Microtobules Get Constructed Very Poorly:
Mebendazole: antihelminthic
Griseofulvin: antifungal
Colchicine: antigout
Vincristine: vvinblastine: anticancer

24
Q

Dynein

Study These Flashcards
A

Negative and Near Nucleus microtubular transport

25
Kinesin
Positive end points to periphery microtubular transport
26
9 doublet + 2 singlet arrengment of microtubules
Cilia structure
27
9 microtubule triplets
Basal bode: base of cilium
28
Immotile cilia due to a dynein arm defect
Kartagener syndrome: less fertility. bronchiectasis, recurrent sinusitis, chronic ear infections, conductive hearing loss, situs inversion
29
Axonemal dynein
ATPase that links peripheral 9 doublets and causes bending of cilium by differential sliding of doublets
30
Mecanism of action of digoxin
Inhibit NaK ATPase which leads to indirect inhibition of Na/Ca exchange: more Ca: more cardiac contractility
