Term
| Describe Ca2+ induced Ca2+ released |
|
Definition
In cardiac muscle the T-tubule membrane contains voltage regulated Ca2+ channels known as DHP (dihydropyridine) receptors
Positive charge depolarizes the DHP receptor and allows Ca2+ to enter the SR
Ca2+ binds to Ryanodine receptors
Ryanodine receptors are also Ca2+ channels and release Ca2+ from the SR into the cytoplasm
Ca2+ then binds to the troponin complex to initiate the sliding filament process |
|
|

Definition
Troponin is a Ca2+ binding protein in muscle fibers and it is found in skeletal and cardiac muscle
NOT in smooth muscle |

|
Term
| What do myenteric and submucosal plexuses control? |
|
Definition
Myenteric - The myenteric plexus is the major nerve supply to the gastrointestinal tract and controls GI tract motility.
Submucosal - This plexus lies in the submucous coat of the intestine; it also contains ganglia from which nerve fibers pass to the muscularis mucosae and to the mucous membrane. The nerve bundles of the submucous plexus are finer than those of the myenteric plexus. Its function is to innervate cells in the epithelial layer and the smooth muscle of the muscularis mucosae. |

Term
| What role do Chromaffin cells play? |
|
Definition

Definition
| Both! Ha! Sucker. Avery questioned that ass. |
|
|
Term
| Describe M2 and M3 receptors, and the paradoxial effect of M3 |
|
Definition
M2 - The M2 muscarinic receptors are located in the heart, where they act to slow the heart rate down to normal sinus rhythm after stimulatory actions of the sympathetic nervous system, by slowing the speed of depolarization.
M3 - Located in the smooth muscles of the blood vessels, as well as in the lungs. With respect to vasculature, activation of M3 on vascular endothelial cells causes increased synthesis of nitric oxide, which diffuses to adjacent vascular smooth muscle cells and causes their relaxation, thereby explaining the paradoxical effect of parasympathomimetics on vascular tone and bronchiolar tone. |

|
Term
| Describe skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle contraction |
|
Definition
Skeletal muscle - Action potential (AP) reaches axon terminal. ACh is released and positive charge enters muscle fiber. AP propagates down T-Tubule and contacts the Terminal Cisternae which released Ca2+ from the SR to the cytoplasm. Ca2+ binds troponin which moves tropomyosin and allows Myosin head to bind to Actin filament
Cardiac Muscle - Ca2+ induces Ca2+ release. T-Tubule contains DHP receptors. When AP reaches the DHP receptors, they open and release Ca2+. That binds to Ryanodine which releases Ca2+ from the SR to the cytoplasm. The Ca2+ binds troponin like skeletal muscle. SR also contain Ca2+ pumps to remove Ca2+
Smooth muscle - AP generated by stretch-activated channels or NT's on the smooth muscle. Calmodulin binds Ca2+ and activates Myosin light chain kinase (MLCK). This phosphorylates the myosin light chain and causes a conformational change in the myosin head. Myosin light chain phosphatase (MLCP) releases the phosphate from the myosin head to relax the muscle.
