Q

When a muscle contacts; this binds to troponin and pulls it off the active site of actin

20
Q

When calcium pulls the troponin off of the active site of actin, what happens next?

A

The actin binds to the myosin heads

21
Q

When — are binded to – this causes the muscle cell to shorten (contract)

A
  1. Myosin heads

2. Actin

22
Q

What is needed to release myosin heads off of the actin?

23
Q

What are the nervous system functions?

A

Sensory, integrative, motor

24
Q

What is the insulation on the axon?

25
A multipolar nerve cell is efferent or afferent?
Efferent
26
A bi polar cell is efferent or afferent?
Afferent
27
Special sense neurons are found in what type of cell?
Bipolar
28
Somatic skeletal and visceral muscles and sensory nerves are found here
Unipolar cell
29
Unipolar cell is afferent or efferent?
Afferent
30
This group of neurons has ganglia
Peripheral neurons
31
This type of neuron group has a nucleus
Central nervous system
32
The central nervous system consists of what?
Brain and spinal cord
33
The peripheral nervous system is made up of what types of nerves?
Afferent and efferent
34
These carry info to the CNS, they are sensory nerves
Afferent nerves
35
These nerves carry info away from the CNS, these are usually motor nerves
Efferent nerves
36
In the peripheral nervous system there are 2 systems called?
1. Somatic system | 2. Autonomic system
37
This system has motor nerves going to skeletal muscle, it is voluntary
Somatic system
38
This system is involuntary and consists nerves going to smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands
Autonomic system
39
These nerves have the 4 F's
Sympathetic nerves
40
What are the 4 F's?
Flight, Fight, Frolic, Fright
41
Name the neurotransmitters
Epinephrine and norepinephrine
42
In the autonomic system what receptors do the neurotransmitters bind to?
Alpha and beta
43
These receptors ( alpha and beta) are collectively called?
Adrenergic receptors
44
Autonomic system binding causes:
1. Blood routed away from GI and towards skeletal muscle 2. Heart rate increases 3. Respiratory rate increase 4. Trachea dilates 5. Pupils dilate
45
What happens in the parasympathetic nerve system (rest and digest)
1. Release ACh 2. ACh binds to muscarinic or nicotonic receptors 3. Opposite effects of sympathetic
46
Nicotinic and Muscarinic receptors are called ---?
Cholinergic receptors
