|
|
Ca uptake stimulates the release of
|
Ach into the neuromuscular juction
|
|
Ach causes the membranes to leak Na+ causing
|
Depolarization and opening of more Na+ and K+ channels

The opening of the Na+ and K+ channels causes an
|
Action potential to arise

11-cis-retinal (light catching molecule)
|
|
Light causes the 11-cis-retinal to changes to
|
All-trans-retinal through photoisomerization
|
|
The all trans form dissociates from the
|
Opsin and is released into the cytosol
|
|
The all-trans-retinal is converted back to 11-cis-retinal
|
By retinal isomerases in the cytosol
|
|
The all-trans-retinal activates the
|
G protein, transducin which activates a G protein cascade
|
|
The G protein cascade results in a
|
Decrease in cGMP concentration in the cytosol
|
|
cGMP is then released from its binding site on
|
Sodium channels – causes Na+ channels to close
|
|
The closing of the Na+ channels causes a
|
Hyperpolarization of the membrane
|
|
Hyperpolarization leads to the
|
Transmission of the nerve pulse
|
|
In the dark the outer segment of the photoreceptor is
|
Highly permeable to Na+

|
|
|
|
|
Protein components of muscle
|
Actin (thin) and myosin (thick)
|
|
Striated pattern fromed by the muscle filaments
|
Are called sarcomeres
|
|
Z line
|
Where ends of actin meet – separates sarcomeres
|
|
A band
|
Dark bands – myosin overlapping actin
|
|
H zone
|
Myosin only
|
|
I band

Light bands – actin only
|
|
Regulatory proteins bound to actin
|
Troponin and tropomyocin
|
|
In relaxed state…troponin holds tropomyosin
|
In position to block myocin binding to actin
|
|
When Ca++ levels increase…Ca++ binds to troponin
|
Changes the complex to allow myocin to bind to actin
|
|
Smooth muscle contains
|
Calmodulin
|
|
Ca++ activates calmodulin which then
|
Phosphorylates myocin – allows myosin to bind actin
|
|
Ca uptake stimulates the release of
|
Ach into the neuromuscular juction
|
|
Ach causes the membranes to leak Na+ causing
|
Depolarization and opening of more Na+ and K+ channels
|
|
The opening of the Na+ and K+ channels causes an
|
Action potential to arise
|
|
The action potential (AP)
|
Propagates in both directions along the sarcolemma
|
|
The AP opens Ca++ channels on the
|
sarcoplasmic reticulum - increases Ca++ in the sacroplasm
|
|
Ca++ diffuses into the sarcomeres and binds to
|
Troponin molecules
|
|
Myosin has
|
ATP-ase activity
|
|
When myosin attaches to actin it releases
|
ADP + Pi
|
|
After the contraction
|
ATP binds to myosin to dissociate the filaments
|
|

11-cis-retinal (light catching molecule)
|
|
Light causes the 11-cis-retinal to changes to
|
All-trans-retinal through photoisomerization
|
|
The all trans form dissociates from the
|
Opsin and is released into the cytosol
|
|
The all-trans-retinal is converted back to 11-cis-retinal
|
By retinal isomerases in the cytosol
|
|
The all-trans-retinal activates the
|
G protein, transducin which activates a G protein cascade
|
|
The G protein cascade results in a
|
Decrease in cGMP concentration in the cytosol
|
|
cGMP is then released from its binding site on
|
Sodium channels – causes Na+ channels to close
|
|
The closing of the Na+ channels causes a
|
Hyperpolarization of the membrane
|
|
Hyperpolarization leads to the
|
Transmission of the nerve pulse
|
|
In the dark the outer segment of the photoreceptor is
|
Highly permeable to Na+

|
|
In the light
|
The amount of NT released decreases
|
|
Horizontal cell receptor fields result in a
|
Larger, slower hyperpolarization that photoreceptors do
|
|
The amacrine cell gives a
|
Short, transient or phasic depolarization with a change in light level over a wide receptive field
|
|
The principle of univarience refers to the fact that

|
The lens has high amounts of
|
Glutathione
|
|
Retinal is an
|
Unsaturated aldehyde formed by oxidation of retinol (an alcohol)
|
|
|
|
|
In the dark the chromophore is in the
|
11-cis-retinal form
|
|
When a photon of light is absorbed the retinal
|
Undergoes cis/trans isomerization to become all-trans retinal
|
|
The all trans retinal dissociates from the
|
Opsin
|
|
Light blocks the entry of
|
Na into photoreceptor outer segment = hyperpolarization
|
|
|
|
|
The Neurotransmitter b/t photoreceptors and bipolar and amacrine cells is
|
Glutamate
|
|
Horizontal and amacrine cells directly modify the
|
Rate of electrical firing in bipolar cells
|
|
The major excitatory transmitter for horizontal cells is
|
Glutamate
|
|
In inhibitor of horizontal and amacrine cells is
|
GABA
|
|
The major excitatory transmitter for amacrine cells is
|
AcH
|
|
An inhibitor of amacrine cells is
|
Glycine
|
|
In the dark
|
Neurotransmitters are constantly released
|
|
In the light
|
The amount of NT released decreases
|
|
Horizontal cell receptor fields result in a
|
Larger, slower hyperpolarization that photoreceptors do
|
|
The amacrine cell gives a
|
Short, transient or phasic depolarization with a change in light level over a wide receptive field
|
|
The principle of univarience refers to the fact that
|
No matter how much above threshold the wavelength of light hits the photoreceptor…it will produce the same exact response
|
|
Blue cones have a peak density
|
1o from the fovea
|
|
Parvocellular cell layers of the LGN (3,4,5 and 6) relay
|
Ganglion cells to the visual cortex
|
|
Magnocellular cell layers of the LGN (1 and 2) relay
|
From the primary visual cortex to the secondary visual cortex and on to the MT and MST region
|
|
Contralateral (crossed) ganglion cell axons end up in
|
Layers 1,4,6 of the LGN
|
|
Ipsilateral (uncrossed) ganglion cell axons end up in
|
Layers 2,3,5 of the LGN
|
|
Simple cells of the LGN have
|
Elongated center surround receptors that respond to extended stimuli – stimulus must have the proper orientation
|
|
The response of Special simple cells depends on
|
The length of the stimulus
|
|
Complex cells require the correct
|
Orientation and size stimulus
|
|
As long as the orientation is correct, a stimulus
|
Anywhere in the receptive field of a complex cell will cause a response
|
|
The primary input to the cortex form the LGN goes to
|
Layer 4
|
|
Collaterals of both the magno and parvo cells terminate
|
In layer 6 of the cortex
|
|
Intralaminar cells terminate in
|
Layers 2 and 3
|
|
Spiny stellate can pyramidal cortex cells are
|
Excitatory
|
|
Smooth stellate cells are
|
Inhibitory
|
|
Pyramidal cells have
|
Long, large axons and spiny type processes
|
|
Stellate cells have
|
Short axons and either smooth or spiny processes
|
|
Ocular dominance is the
|
Classification of the binocularity of a particular cell
|
|
Group 1 cells
|
Stimulated only by contralateral eye
|
|
Group 2 and 3 cells
|
Codominant – more by contralateral eye
|
|
Group 4 cells
|
Equal binocular response
|
|
Group 5 and 6 cells
|
Codominance – more by ipsilateral eye
|
|
Group 7 cells
|
Only to ipsilateral eye
|
|
|
|
|
Direct acting cholinergic agonists
|
|
|
Acetylcholine
|
Applied directly to iris during surgery – short duration
|
|
Methacholine
|
Selective activity in cardiovascular system
|
|
Carbachol
|
Used in POAG – more effective than pilocarpine
|
|
Pilocarpine
|
Direct stimulation on longitudinal muscle of CB, causes follicular conjunctivitis and accommodative spasm
|
|
|
** all may precipitate an asthmatic attack through bronchiolar constriction
|
|
Indirect acting cholinergic agonists (anticholinesterase)
|
|
|
Reversible Physostigmine
|
Ung used for POAG at night – antidote is atropine sulfate
|
|
Neostigmine
|
Antidote for tubocurarine – tx myasthemia gravis
|
|
Demecarium
|
Used topically only for POAG when pilo and carbachol are ineffective – used in management of accommodative esotropia
|
|
Edrophonium (Tensilon)
|
Drug of choice for the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis
|
|
Irreversible Diisopropyl fluorophosphate
|
aka isofluorophate – may develop iris cysts on the pupillary margin – topical phenylephrine can prevent the development of the cysts
|
|
|
may cause anterior subcapsular cataracts, reversible iris cysts
|
|
