Q

Name the NTs involved in the sympathetic effect vs parasympathetic effect on the heart.

Explain how they carry out their effect on the heart

A

Sympathetic: norepinephrine and epinephrine -> keep HCN channels open -> PP slow increases -> increase HR

Parasympathetic: ACh -> open K+ channels -> PP slow to increase (less steep) -> decrease AP frequency -> decrease Ca2+ release -> decrease contractility and CO -> decrease HR

Q

How does the SA node AP graph change under the influence of the sympathetic autonomic nervous system and why? (hint: what happens to PP?)

A

SA node AP graph will change in frequency (more AP produced)

SANS can release epinephrine which will produce cAMP. HCN channels are sensitive to cAMP and will stay open longer, causing more Na+ influx. This will increase/steepen the slope of the PP

Q

Why would epinephrine increase heart rate (HR) and how does this happen?

A

Epinephrine increases heart rate because it produces cAMP which keeps HCN channels open longer

Sympathetic = epinephrine = ↑ cAMP = HCN channel stays open longer = Increase/steep slope of Pacemaker Potential = ↑ frequency of APs = ↑Ca2+ release from SR (of myocardial cells; nonspecialized) = ↑ # of contraction and CO = ↑HR

Q

How does the SA node AP graph change under the influence of the parasympathetic autonomic nervous system and why? (hint- what happens to PP)

A

Parasympathetic = ACh = open K+ channel = ↓slope of PP = ↓frequency of APs = ↓ # of contraction and CO= ↓ HR

This is because ACh has an inhibitory effect on the SA node

Q

Define hemoglobin (Hb) and how is it related to O2?

A

Hemoglobin: A complex protein (containing heme molecule; iron, and globin protein) that contains 4 subunits found in RBC

It is related to O2 as each of its subunits carries one O2 from the lungs to the rest of the body (each Hb can bind to 4 O2 molecules)

A

Hb-CO2

Hb is bound to CO2

25
Q

Hb-CO

Hb is bound to carbon monoxide (CO)

26
Q

Hb has a stronger bond with ______ than with ______

A

CO
O2

27
Q

Why is carbon monoxide dangerous?

A

Hb has a stronger bond (high affinity) and prefers to bind with CO rather than O2, therefore reducing the ability of blood to carry O2

28
Q

Define Percent Hb-O2 saturation.

What does it measure?

What is the normal %?

How is it measured?

A

% of Hb-O2 to total Hb

measured to assess how well the lungs have oxygenated the blood

97%

measured with pulse oximeter or blood-gas machine

29
Q

Compare loading and unloading of O2

A

Loading of O2 = when Hb binds to O2 in the lungs

Unloading of O2 = when Hb-O2 releases (unloads) O2 in the tissue

30
Q

Write a chemical reaction that can show loading and unloading of O2

Which way shows unloading and which way shows loading

A

deoxyhemoglobin (Hb) + O2 ⇌ oxyhemoglobin (Hb-O2)

moving left = unloading
moving right = loading

31
Q

deoxyhemoglobin (Hb) + O2 ⇌ oxyhemoglobin (Hb-O2)

What does the direction of the reaction depend on?

A

PO2 of the environment (O2 concentration)

affinity for O2

32
Q

Does a high PO2 favor unloading/release of O2 or favor loading/binding of O2?

A

unloading/release of O2

33
Q

Does a low PO2 favor unloading/release of O2 or favor loading/binding of O2?

A

loading/binding

34
Q

35
Q

At the _______ part of the curve, _________ changes produce __________ changes in % saturation

A

steep

small

36
Q

You have two columns labeled as: O2 loading and O2 unloading. Under each column, place the following terms: high PO2, low PO2, high free O2, low free O2, high affinity, low affinity. Shift left or shift right?

A

O2 loading:
Low PO2
Low free O2
High affinity
Shift lefts

O2 unloading:
High PO2
High free O2
Low affinity
Shift right

37
Q

Regarding the O2-Hb dissociation curve, what does P50 represent?

A

P50: PO2 (conc. Of O2) at which 50% saturation is achieved

38
Q

Know the relationship between high/low PO2 to high/low affinity to unloading/loading of O2

A

high PO2 = low affinity = O2 unloading
low PO2 = high affinity = O2 loading

39
Q

Understand the O2-Hb dissociation curve (know how to label it and what it means)

A

check slide 10 for how to draw curve

40
Q

What does “free O2” mean and explain why it is free

A

Free O2 means the O2 are not bound to Hb (High PO2)

It is free because H+ broke the bond between Hb-O2, resulting in Hb-H+ + free O2

41
Q

If person A has a certain P50 value, and person B has a higher P50 value, what does this tell you about the Hb of person B? How would the O2-Hb dissociation curve change for person B?

A

Person B has a low affinity between O2 and Hb, so the dissociation curve will be shifted to the right compared to person A

42
Q

Under which situation(s) would the O2-Hb dissociation curve shift to the right and shift to the left, and explain why?

A

Shift to Left: (loading)
An increase in pH/decrease in H+
Decrease in pCO2
Decrease in temp

Shift to the right: (unloading)
A decrease in pH/increase in H+
Increase in pCO2
Increase in temp

43
Q

What is the normal blood pH of a person?

A

pH 7.4

44
Q

What pH indicates alkaline pH? Will the curve shift left or right?

A

~ pH 7.6
shift left

45
Q

What pH indicated acidic pH?
Which way would the curve shift?

A

~ pH 7.2
shift right

46
Q

Give a specific example/situation in which blood pH becomes alkaline and which way does the curve shift as a result? Explain

A

fetal Hb (Hb-F) will produce a more alkaline (basic) blood pH.

This is because fetus does not have developed lungs, so it depends on the O2 from the mother. The O2 wants to hang on TIGHTLY to Hb, resulting in a high affinity. This means the curve will shift left because high affinity means low PO2 value.

47
Q

Give a specific example/situation in which blood pH becomes acidic and which way does the curve shift as a result? Explain

A

exercising skeletal muscle will create a more acidic blood pH

This is because the unloading of O2 from Hb to the tissues is needed. Unloading means affinity is low, so PO2 must be high, indicated by a shift to the right.

48
Q

tissues

49
Q

What is labeled on the x and y axis on the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve

A

x axis: PO2 (mmHg) - partial pressure of O2

y axis: % O2 saturation of hemoglobin

50
Q

What factors can change the affinity of Hb for O2

A

pH
temperature

51
Q

What is the Bohr effect, and explain how it happens? (hint - see slide #14). Why does acidic blood lead to unloading of O2? Where does the free O2 go to and why?

A

Bohr effect is when the shift curve to the right due to pH changes (blood becomes acidic)

Acidic blood leads to the unloading of O2 because H+ go after the bonds between Hb and O2, causing free O2 and the bond between HB-H+. Free O2 goes from the RBC into the plasma and back into the tissue (gas exchange) to perform aerobic cellular respiration.

52
Q

How will the P50 value change in regard to the Bohr Effect? Does the Bohr Effect allow for the loading or unloading of O2?

A

P50 value will increase because Bohr Effect leads to a shift to the right due to low pH/acidic blood

Bohr effect allows for the unloading of O2 from Hb, because O2 has low affinity to Hb and will unload from Hb to be given to the tissues for aerobic cellular respiration

53
Q

Draw out the Bohr Effect. Draw out gas exchange, include any chemical reactions. Be able to describe what is going on

Do not need to include Chloride Shift/CO2 transport

A

check answer on slide 14

oxygenated blood finally reaches systemic capillaries. Tissues (ex: skeletal muscle) undergo cellular respiration, so they release CO2 as a waste product (must get rid of it)

CO2 enters blood plasma and enters the RBC

CO2 combines with H20 to form H2CO3 via cabonic anhydrase (CA; enzyme) -> then dissociates into H+ and HCO3- (bicarbonate) via CA (enzyme)

H+ ions starts to accumulate (more CO2 = more H+) which leads to a decrease in blood pH because blood becomes more acidic (pH 7.4 to pH 7.2)

Hb-O2 is inside the RBC (because it is oxygenated blood), but because H+ ions were made as a result of CO2 entering the RBC, it breaks the bond between Hb-O2, creating Hb-H+ and free O2. This is known as unloading because it broke the bonds and freed O2

Unloading O2 means a low affinity of O2 for Hb, which increases PO2 and P50 = SHIFT TO THE RIGHT

BOHR EFFECT!!

The free O2 leaves the RBC -> plasma -> enters tissue (ex: skeletal muscle) = GAS EXCHANGE

Check slide #14 on Ch. 14 and 16

54
Q

H2CO3 is a _____ acid that will ________ into __________ and __________

A

weak
dissociate
HCO3-
H+

55
Q

The chloride shift involves transport of ________

A

CO2

56
Q

Draw and explain the chloride shift and how CO2 is transported out the RBC

A

CO2 is present in HCO3- and needs to be transported out of the RBC

It gets transported out by Band 3 which is a chloride-bicarbonate antiport (secondary AT) to ensure rxn proceeds to the right

HCO3- moves with the concentration gradient and Cl- moves against the concentration gradient

CHLORIDE SHIFT

57
Q

Name the three options CO2 has at systemic capillaries (hint - where does it enter/become). Which is most common?

A

1) CO2 can dissolve in plasma
2) CO2 combines with hemoglobin
3) CO2 will bind with water and create H+ and HCO3-

58
Q

TRUE or FALSE: Because of the chloride shift, the charge inside the RBC becomes more negative

A

False, although HCO3- is leaving the RBC, Cl- is entering the RBC to maintain electrical neutrality

59
Q

What would happen to the concentration of extracellular Cl- if there was an inhibitor of carbonic anyhydrase (CA)

A

Without CA, rxn will not proceed so HCO3- will decrease (no more bicarbonate). Without bicarbonate, Band 3 will not work because movement of Cl- relies on the movement of HCO3- out of the cell (w/ concentration gradient). Because Cl- cannot move inside the RBC, extracellular Cl- will increase.

60
Q

What is carbon monoxide?

A

a poisionous gas caused by burning of fossil fuels by faulty appliances/vehicles in an enclosed space

61
Q

Be able to draw the oxygen hemoglobin curve with carbon monoxide posining effect.

A

check slide #17

62
Q

Name the ways in which carbon monoxide affects the oxygen hemoglobin dissociation curve

A

curve will NEVER reach 100% O2 saturation of hemoglobin: because CO will never fall off of Hb (very dangerous)

O2 curve with CO effect shifts LEFT: any remaining O2 bound to Hb will want to hold on tightly to Hb because CO has a strong bond for Hb (therefore higher affinity of Hb for O2 -> left shift)

63
Q

Why must CO2 be removed from the blood? (hint – what 2 things will CO2 form in the RBC and will one of these things change the pH of the blood?)

A

CO2 is toxic and needs to be removed from the body. CO2 will eventually form H+ and bicarbonate (HCO3-)
increases of H+ will cause the pH of the blood to decrease (become more acidic)
