Order the events following a photoreceptor absorbing light:
1) opsin activates G-protein (transduction)
2) phosphodiesterase is activated
3) phosphodiesterase breaks down cyclic GMP
4) voltage gated sodium and calcium channel close
5) release of glutamate is reduced
Order the events following exposure of the basilar membrane to movement:
1) stereocilia of hair cells bend against tectorial membrane
2) movement of the stereocilia toward the tallest cilia opens K+ channels
3) voltage gated calcium channels open
4) synaptic vesicles fuse with the presynaptic membrane
5) glutamate is released
Nearsightedness is corrected with ___________ lenses
concave
Yellow light causes an ____________ in glutamate release from blue absorbing photoreceptors
increase
Damage to the left optic nerve would cause blindness in the ________ eye
left
High frequency sound is detected by portions of the cochlea _______ the oval window
near
Movement of the vestibular and basement membranes is detected by _________ cells in the cochlear duct
hair
Skeletal muscle
contains troponin
ATPase of myosin heads is intrinsically active
contains actin and myosin
contains tropomyosin
Cardial muscle
contains troponin
contains tropomyosin
contains actin and myosin
ATPase of myosin heads is intrinsically active
Smooth muscle
contains tropomyosin
contains actin and myosin
ATPase of myosin heads must be activated by light-chained kinase
Put in order as they would occur in a skeletal or cardiac muscle cell:
1) Ca2+ diffuses into intracellular fluid
2) Ca2+ binds to troponin and moves tropomyosin away from actin
3) myosin heads bind to actin
4) myosin head bends and pulls actin towards M-line
5) muscle cell contracts
Put in order causing activation of skeletal muscle cell by a neuron:
acetylcholine is released from motor neuron bulb into synaptic cleft
2) acetylcholine binds to nicotinic-m receptors in motor end plate
3) action potential propagates along sarcolemma
4) action potential opens voltage gated Ca2+ channels in T-tubules and SR
5) calcium ions are released from sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR)
Put in order for initiating smooth muscle contraction:
1) myosin light chain (MLC) kinase is activated by calcium-calmodulin
2) MLC kinase activates (Pi) the ATPase of myosin head
3) ATPase splits ATP and energizes the cross bridges
4) yosin head bind to actin
5) myosin head bends and pulls actin toward M-line
In skeletal and cardiac muscle myosin cross bridges are phosphorylated and activated by___________
ATP
in skeletal and cardiac muscle actin must be ___________ to allow cross bridge cycling
uncovered
in skeletal and cardiac muscle calcium binds to _____________ and uncovers actin
troponin
