Q

What is the role of ATP in muscle contraction?

A

It binds myosin causing the myosin to release actin and extend back to its starting position, bind another segment of actin, and contract

Q

What’s the difference between a dendrite and axon in terms of signal transduction? 15

A

Q

What is the most common class of neuron with many dendrites and one axon? 16

Study These Flashcards
A

Multipolar neurons

25
Where is a common place you find bipolar neurons? 16
Retina
26
How do myelin sheaths increase the speed of signal transduction? 19
Signals are able to jump from one node of ranvier to the next
27
What are the three CT layers of a peripheral nerve? What do they encompass? 20
Epineurium —> contains the nerve fascicle and blood vessels Perineurium —> encompasses nerve fascicle Endometrium —> encompasses a single axon
28
What are the main neurotransmitters? 22
Acetylcholine —> primary for muscle | Noradrenaline
29
In terms of innervation what is a major difference between skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle? 23
Skeletal muscle is directly innervated (receives an axon terminal) while cardiac and smooth muscle don't necessarily have to be
30
What happens when acetylcholine is release into a muscle fiber? 24
Acetylcholine stimulates an action potential that travels down T tubules and is dumped into the sarcoplasmic reticulum where it causes the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release calcium
31
What is the role of nuclear bag fibers? 26
Wrapped at the CENTER by type Ia nerve fibers Detect change in length and degree of tension
32
What is the role of nuclear chain fibers? 26
Wrapped at the ENDS by type II nerve fibers Detect static muscle length
33
What is the composition of Myosin? 12S
2 heavy chains 4 light chains Two globular heads
34
What is the relation of the thin filaments (actin) to the thick filaments (Myosin)? 13S
There are 6 actin filaments to one Myosin filament 60° per thin filament
35
What is heavy meromyosin (HMM) and light meromyosin (LMM)? 14S
Heavy Meromyosin: S1/S2 (includes globular heads) This is where Papain digests Light Meromyosin: α-helices This is where trypsin digests
36
In regards to Light Meromyosin, what allows a tight and precise bonding between the two α-helical strands? 15S
Hydrophobic interactions allow for tight bonding between four ions that meet in the middle
37
When looking at the heavy Meromyosin segment, what is the role of the S1 portion? 16S
Contains a P-loop that has an ATPase domain This is where ATP binds to allow hinge movement (power stroke)
38
What is Myomesin? 18S
Found along the M-line Proteins that anchor the thick filaments (myosin) together
39
What is Titian? 18S
One of the largest proteins on the planet Attaches to a Z disc and then moves in between a thick filament (myosin) before attaching to the m line* Extremely elastic allows and opposes the force of the power stroke
40
What kind of directionality do we see in the thin filament (actin)? 20S
Minus end —> faces the M-line Plus end —> barbed, hooks into the Z-disc for anchoring
41
How does a thin filament come to together? 21S
Remember thin filaments are called Actin G-actin subunits, single monomers are bound by ATP The subunits come together to form F-actin and in the process ATP are converted to ADP (+ end grows faster) Final product is a filament full of what use to be G-actin, but is now f-actin subunits each attached to ADP
42
What is Tropomodulin? 22S
Caps the minus end of the thin filament (actin) preventing further polymerization Remember minus end faces m line
43
What caps the positive end of the thin filament?
CapZ (β-actinin) Associates with α-actinin at the plus end
44
What acts as a precise ruler for the polymerization of actin? 22S
Nebulin (precisely 6669 residues)
45
What does Troponin T, I, and C do?
Troponin T —> binds tropomyosin Troponin I —> Inhibits myosin binding (binds actin) Troponin C —> binds Ca2+ (activates)
46

What holds together bundles of myofibrils?
Desmin (also synemin, but not so much)

What is the problem in Duchenne muscular dystrophy? 36S
No detectable dystrophin
53
What is the problem in Becker muscular dystrophy? 36S
Dystrophins of various sizes

55
What mobilizes glycogen to glucose in the liver? 39S
Insulin???
56
What causes pyruvate production from glucose-6-phosphate in the muscle? 39S
Add
57
What is the composition of muscle glycogen phosphorylase b? 40S
2 subunits Each subunit is a mirror image of the other Contains: S catalytic site AMP allosteric site
58
What directly activates glycogen phosphorylase? 40
Phosphorylase kinase Ca2+ binds calmodulin activating it —> Calmodulin activates phosphorylase kinase —> Phosphorylase kinase attaches AMP to glycogen phosphorylase —> Activity of glycogen phosphorylase increased
