Q

Describe the structure of a muscle fiber.

A

Muscle is organized into muscle fascicles all individually separated by CT called perimysium. Each fascicle has several muscle fibers separated by CT called endomysium. Each muscle fiber is an elongated cell with several nuclei. In each muscle fiber, there are myofibrils made of sarcomeres. Sarcomeres are the basic functional unit of muscle. Between myofibrils, there are lots of mitochondria and smooth ERs called sarcoplasmic reticulum.
The sarcoplasm is like the cytoplasm of the muscle and contains glycogen and myoglobin.

Q

What is the basic action of sarcomeres in muscle contraction?

A

The dark A bands consist of a midregion called the H band where only thick filaments occur, flanked by even darker regions where the thick and thin filaments overlap. The light A bands are bisected by a thin dark line called a Z disc. The thin and thick filaments are anchored to the Z disc. The region from one Z disc to the next is called a sarcomere and is the functional unit of muscle contraction. When muscle contracts, the sarcomere becomes shorter and Z discs are pulled closer.

Q

What are the components of a motor unit?

A

Skeletal muscle contracts when stimulated by a somatic motor neuron. The axon of each motor fiber leads to a few hundred muscle fibers but each muscle fiber receives only one nerve fiber. The nerve and muscle meet at a synapse called the neuromuscular junction. Each tip of the nerve fiber ends in a bulb called the synaptic knob which is nestled into the sarcolemma. A synaptic cleft separates the bulb from the sarcolemma. The synaptic knob contains synaptic vesicles filled with NT Ach which stimulates muscle to contract.

A motor unit consists of one motor neuron and multiple muscle fibers. They behave as a single functional unit. It is an advantage to have multiple motor units in a muscle to prevent fatigue. Smaller motor units are founds in the eyeball where there are 3-6 muscle fibers per nerve fiber. In contrast, the gastrocnemius has 1000 muscle fibers per nerve fiber.

30
What happens to the diaphragm when it contracts?
When you breath, the diaphragm contracts and moves downward. This increases space in chest cavity allowing lungs to expand into it and pressure allows air to flow in. The rib cage goes upward and outwards when breathing in.

37
What is the function, shape, and contents of blood?
Functions include transport of gases, nutrients, and waste. Protection from blood loss and illness. Regulation of fluid levels, pH, and temperature. Blood is 55% plasma and 45% formed elements which include erythrocytes, platelets, and five kinds of leukocytes. Erythrocytes are discoid shape and lack nucleus, mitochondria, and other organelles.
38
What are the names and properties of the 7 different formed elements?
1. Erythrocytes- red blood cells 2. Platelets- fragments of bone marrow cells called megakaryocytes that aid in blood clotting. They are phagocytic and have ameboid movement. 3.

Phagocytizes antigen-antibody complexes, allergens, and inflammatory chemicals. Secretes enzymes that destroy parasites. 5. Basophils- granulocytic. <0.5% of WBCs. Secretes histamine to increase blood flow to tissues. Secretes heparin to promote mobility of WBCs by preventing clotting. 6. Monocytes- agranulocytes. 3-8% of WBCs. Differentiate into macrophages. Phagocytize pathogens, dead neutrophils, and dead cells. Presents antigens to activate other cells of immune system. 7. Lymphocytes- agranulocytes. 25-33% of WBCs. Increases in diverse infections and immune responses. Destroy cancer cells, coordinate actions of other immune cells, secrete antibodies, and serve in immune memory. MEN BL for WBCs!!
39
What is hemostasis?
This is the cessation of bleeding and consists of several steps. When a blood vessel is injured, platelets release serotonin which vasoconstricts the vessel reducing blood loss. The platelets then adhere to the wall of vessel forming a plug. The platelets release clotting factors that convert fibrinogen to fibrin. Fibrin, platelets, and blood cells form the clot that seals the injury. Once crisis is over, platelets secrete growth factor that cause fibroblasts and smooth muscle to replace the damaged tissue.
40

44
Blood returning from the big toe would enter the heart through what vessels?
All blood from lower limbs enters the heart through the inferior vena cava and dumps into the right atrium.
45
Why is there is difference in muscularity between the atria and ventricles?
The atria have thin and flaccid walls because they only pump blood to the ventricles. The right ventricle wall is moderately thick as it only pumps blood to the lungs. The left ventricle is super thick as it must pump blood to the whole body.
46
Which blood vessel carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the tissues of the body?
Oxygenated blood pushed from the left ventricle flows into the aortic valve to the ascending aorta and then to all tissues in the body.
47
What is the name and location of the pacemaker of the heart?
The SA/ sinoatrial node is the pacemaker of the heart. It is located in the right atrium.
48
What is the result of sympathetic nervous system stimulation to the heart?
Sympathetic nervous system activation results in increased force and rate of contraction and dilation of coronary arteries.
49
What are the functions and origins of coronary arteries. What is coronary circulation?
Coronary circulation begins with the right and left coronary arteries which are the first branches off the aorta. The left coronary artery gives off the anterior interventricular branch that runs along the anterior interventricular septum. Supplies both ventricles and anterior interventricular septum. The circumflex branch continues around the left side and supplies left atrium and posterior wall of left ventricle. The right coronary artery supply the right atrium and gives off into two branches, the right marginal branch and posterior interventricular branch.
50
What are the major differences between arteries and veins?
Arteries are resistance vessels that can withstand a high blood pressure. They are efferent vessels carrying blood away from heart to the tissues. Veins are afferent vessels carrying blood towards to heart. Composed of three layers; tunica externa, tunica media, and tunica interna.
51
What and where is the aorta and its major branches?
The ascending aorta comes from the left ventricle. The aortic arch gives off branches that supply the head, neck, and upper limbs. The aortic arch gives off branches of brachiocephalic artery, left common carotid artery, and left subclavian artery. The descending aorta is called the thoracic aorta and forks into the right and left common iliac arteries.
52
What are the major deep veins of the forearm?
The radial and ulnar veins are deep and give rise to the brachial veins. The brachial veins converge to join the axillary vein. The axillary vein becomes the subclavian vein. Subclavian vein meets internal jugular vein and becomes the brachiocephalic vein. The two brachiocephalic veins converge to form the superior vena cava which empties into the right atrium.
53
What are the major branches of the hepatic portal vein?
The hepatic portal system are vessels that drain the digestive organs and converge on the hepatic portal vein leading to the liver. The superior and inferior mesenteric vessels drain from upper and lower GIT. Splenic vessel, pancreatic vessel, cystic vessel, and left and right gastric vessel.
54
What is the difference between continuous, fenestrated, sinusoid capillaries?
1. Continuous capillaries- These occur in most tissues and have endothelial cells joined by tight junctions forming an uninterrupted tube. 2. Fenestrated capillaries- endothelial cell riddled with holes called filtration pores. Allow for rapid passage of small molecules. Seen in small intestine and kidneys 3. Sinusoids (discontinuous capillaries)- irregular, blood filled spaces in liver, bone marrow, and spleen. Here endothelial cells are separated by wide gaps. This is how formed elements enter the blood.
55
What is the immune system?
The immune system is a network of tissues, organs, and vessels working to defend the body against infection without hurting the cells within our own body. There is innate and adaptive immunity. Innate is general actions like inflammation and fever. Adaptive immunity is specific and remembered. There is humoral and cellular adaptive immunity.
56
What are the main functions of the lymphatic system?
Recover fluid lost from blood capillaries. Guard against pathogens. Absorb lipids from the small intestine.
57
What are the functions of B and T lymphocytes and antigen-presenting cells?
B lymphocytes- when B cells are activated they differentiate into plasma cells and secrete antibodies. Some B cells become memory cells. T lymphocytes- develop partly in the thymus and rely on thymus hormones for activity. There are 4 types of T cells; cytotoxic, helper, regulatory, and memory. Cytotoxic directly attack and kills cells infected with bacteria or cancer. Helper T cells respond to antigens and stimulate other cells to mount a response. Regulatory T cells prevent an excessive response. Memory T cells remember the antigen so if person is re-exposed the immune system acts quicker. Macrophages are the antigen-presenting cells. They ingest and destroy tissue debris, dead neutrophils, bacteria, and other foreign material.
58
What formed element is most responsible for humoral immunity?
B cells!
59
What is the histology of the larger lymphatic vessels?
They are similar to veins, consisting of a tunica interna with valves, a tunica media with elastic fibers and smooth muscle, and a thin tunica externa.
60
What are the 2 largest lymphatic vessel and location of their termination?
The two collecting ducts are the right lymphatic duct and the thoracic duct. The right lymphatic duct receives drainage from the right upper limb and right side of thorax and head and empties into the right subclavian vein. The thoracic duct is larger and longer. It begins just below the diaphragm and ascends along the aorta and empties into the left subclavian artery. It drains all body below diaphragm, left upper limb, left side of head, neck, and thorax.
61
Where are germinal centers located?
Lymph nodes are little bean shaped organs. The parenchyma is divided into cortex and medulla. The cortex contains lymphatic nodules that develop germinal centers when pathogens invade. Germinal centers are where B cells multiply and differentiate into plasma cells.
62
What is the location and function of the thymus?
The thymus is a bilobed organ between the sternum and aortic arch. Keeps hold of developing lymphocytes and secretes hormones. Secretes chemical messengers promoting the development of T cells.
