IP3 and DAG Second Messenger System: PLC

PLC membrane bound converts PIP2 into IP3 and DAG. IP3 moves to ER and helps release Ca++ store. DAG remains in membrane and activate PKC, this phosphorylates proteins and causes Ca++ influx

cGMP Secondary Messenger Systems

Membrane bound guanylate yclase helps form cGMP from GTP. NO activates soluble types of guanylate cyclase and increase cGMP. cGMP acts on ion channels (phospohdiesterases) and activates cGMP-dependent protein kinase.

Cholinergic Receptors: Nicotinic vs Muscarinic; #’s, types, means of action (channel vs. G-protein)

Nicotinic: N1 - skeletal muscle, N2 - ganglia. Form pore across membrane, ACh binding causes pores to open.
Muscarinic: M1,3,5 - activate PLC using Gq = increase in intracellular Ca++. M2,4 - inhibit adenylate cyclase using Gi.

Adrenergic receptors: alpha and beta receptors

Beta receptors stimulate adenylate cyclase to produce cAMP and activate PKA.
Alpha1 receptors increase IP3 and DAG or activate Ca-channels using Gq.
Alpha2 receptors inhibit adenylate cyclase by Gi.

Describe how the P Na/K ration affect membrane potential in a typical cell:

Higher Ratio = more Na and less negative membrane potential, easier to excite
Lower Ratio = more K and more negative membrane potential, less easy to excite

Single Unit vs. Multiple Unit Smooth Muscle

Study These Flashcards

Single Unit: many gap junctions, sparse innervation, slow wave potentials with spontaneous, graded oscillation in membrane potential, plasticity, and stretch induced contraction.
Multiunit: less gap junctions, higher innervation ratios, stable membrane potentials without spontaneous depolarization.

Economy and Efficiency of Smooth Muscle

Study These Flashcards

Lower efficiency in smooth muscle due to 2 ATP requirement for light chain phosphorylation.
Economy is higher because ATP use is low when maintaining contraction force (latch state).

Cardiac Conduction System; locations, path, speed

SA node: primary, fast AV node: secondary, slower, delay for ventricular filling Bundle of His: last, ventricular spread, relatively quick

What is preload, other names?

Preload is the load/length on the muscle at rest before the onset of contraction = also equals the end diastolic volume or pressure.

What is after load, other names?

Afterload is the load the muscle is contracting against after the onset of a contraction = resistance to the ejection of blood.

Intrinsic Respiration

How cells handle and utilize oxygen

Extrinsic Respiration

How 02 is delivered from the external environment to cells

Special considerations of bronchial circulation

This circulation is supplied from the left ventricle but in this blood a "venous admixture" / "right to left shunt" occurs as deoxygenated venous blood mixes with oxygenated pulmonary venous blood returning to left heart.

Lung sounds; crackles, wheezing, rhonchi

Crackles: inspiration sound due to airways popping open or air flowing through fluid. Fine are high pitched, more intense, shorter duration. Coarse are lower, less intense and longer duration (associated with CHF and pneumonia). Wheezing: labored breathing with inspiration and expiration, associated with airway compression. Rhonchi: low pitched, snoring quality, inspiration and expiration due to secretions.

Effects on Ventilation; airway resistance, airway compliance

Increased resistance decreases flow Increased compliance results in less structural support of lungs during expiration, lungs collapse increasing resistance and trapping air in the lungs. Decreased compliance requires larger inflation pressure to move same amount of air.

Clinical hypoventilation, associated factors

PaCO2>40, accompanied by low PAO2. | Means patin is not losing CO2 waste efficiently and also not getting enough O2 into tissue.

A-a difference, average value, what it means.

A-a is the difference between Aveolar and arterial partial pressure of oxygen. Normally between 5-20 mmHg. Increased difference means poor O2 exchange in capillaries. Possible causes: V/Q mismatching, Right to Left Shunt, diffusion impairment.

Obstructive diseases; definition, effect on lab values, examples

Trouble getting air out. Normal TLC Low FEV1.0/FVC ratio (should be >0.7) Asthma; increase activity of airway smooth muscles. COPD; chronic bronchitis due to inflammation and edema of airway walls increasing resistance obstructing emptying of lungs.

Restrictive diseases; definition, effect on lab values

Trouble getting air in. Reduced TLC Normal or Increased FEV1.0/FVC Interstitial fibrosis; dyspnea worsening on exertion, clubbing and cyanosis, due to chronic infections causing infiltration of immune cells into causes scarring in alveolar walls = decreased lung compliance.

Heart sounds; S1, S2, which valves open/close with each sound.

S1: Mitral and Tricuspid closure, beginning of systole S2: Aortic and Pulmonic valve closure, beginning of diastole. S2 Splitting: Aortic closure 1st, Pulmonic closure 2nd

Valve Sequence

M Close, T Close, P Open, A Open, A Close, P Close, T Open, M Open

BER; stomach, duodénum, jéjunum

Stomach: 3/min Duodénum: 12/min Jejunum: 9/min

Swallowing Phases

1. Oral or Voluntary Phase - separates food bolus 2. Pharyngeal Phase: soft palate moved upwards, UES relaxes, peristalsis pushes food down, coordinated by "Swallowing Center" - vagus nerve 3. Esophageal Phase - primary and secondary peristalsis.

Esophageal Sphincters

UES - at swallowing pressure drops allowing bolus into esophagus LES: tonically contracted, relaxation is mediated by a vagovagal reflex known as "receptive relaxation".

Phases of Ventricular Systole

Isovolumetric contraction Rapid ejection Reduced ejection

Phases of Ventricular Diastole

``` Protodiastole Isovolumetric relaxation Rapid filling Diastasis Atrial Systole ```

MMC Phases

1: slow waves with little activity 2: irregular action potentials and increasing contractions 3: intense activity 4: rapid decline in activity

Which stomach region secretes what?

Cardiac: Mucus Fundic: Acid Pyloric: Mucus and Gastrin

Which stomach cells secrete which substances?

Epithelium: mucus and alkaline fluid Parietal Cells: HCL and Intrinsic Factor Chief/Pepetic Cells: Pepsinogen Neck Cells: Mucus

What stimulates pepsinogen secretion?

Histamine, ACh, Gastrin, Secretin

What secretes Intrinsic Factor and what stimulates it's secretion?

Parietal cells secrete IF and is also stimulated by histamine, ACh, Gastrin, Secretin.
