SMC membrane:
receptors channels RMP |
*stretch receptors open with tension and allow a depolarizing influx of Na+ and Ca++
*VOCC open upon depolarization *VO-K+ open to repolarize *RMP set at -45mV by Na+/K+ ATPase and Na+ and K+ leak channels |
|
Action of vasodilators on SMC
|
*B-2 AR agonists, adenosine, and PG cause increased cAMP
*NO, histamine, and bradykinin cause increased cGMP *cAMP and cGMP cause opening of K+ channels which repolarizes membrance and closes VOCC *cAMP and cGMP also cause increased action of Ca++ efflux pumps *[Ca++] decreases and relaxation occurs |
|
Action of vasoconstrictors on SMC
|
*a-AR agonists, angiotensin II, and vasopressin bind G-protein
*G-protein: liberates IP3 which causes release of Ca++ from SR; causes closure of K+ channels which depolarizes the membrane and opens VOCC *increased [Ca++] results in phosphorylation of myosin and contraction |
|
sympathetic innervation of cardiac myocytes
|
1. NE or epi bind B-1 AR which activates adenylate cyclase to increase [cAMP]
2. cAMP activates PKA 3. PKA causes increased opening of VOCC during systole and less inhibition of SR Ca++ pumps during diastole |
|
intercalated disks
|
*adherens junctions and desmosomes allow the cells to contract as a sheet
*gap junctions allow passage of ions and thus an AP between cells |
|
Differences between cardiac and skeletal muscle (3)
|
*in cardiac muscle the max amount of Ca++ is not released thus CTY can be graded
*in cardiac muscle, performance is graded by changes in PL, HR and CTY *skeletal muscle does NOT use extracellular Ca++ for contraction |
|
Ways to increase [Ca++] in cardiac myocytes
(4) |
*increase extracellular [Ca++]
*increased opening of VOCC *increased number of VOCC *inhibition of Ca++ efflux pumps |
|
What happens during relaxation at diastole?
|
*VOCC and ryanodine channels close
*Ca++ is extruded and returned to SR by primary active transport (ATPases) and secondary active transport (Na+/Ca++ antiporters) |
|
What happens during relaxation at diastole?
|
*VOCC and ryanodine channels close
*Ca++ is extruded and returned to SR by primary active transport (ATPases) and secondary active transport (Na+/Ca++ antiporters) |
|
Excitation-contraction during systole...where does the Ca++ come from?
|
*AP causes VOCC on cell surface to open and allow an influx of Ca++
*AP on T-tubule causes release of Ca++ from the SR *activity of VOCC can be modulated by physiology, drugs, or disease |
|
Parasympathetic innervation of heart
|
*preganglionic fibers begin at the medulla and synapse at visceral ganglia, where they release ACh that binds nicotinic receptors on the postganglionic neuron
*postganglionic fibers travel to the atrial wall, the SA node, and the AV node where they release ACh that binds muscarinic receptors *action is decreased HR, CTY, and conduction velocity *NO ventricular action |
|
SNS innervation of heart
|
*preganglionic fibers begin at T1-T6 and synapse at the cervical ganglia or sympathetic trunk where they release ACh that binds nicotinc receptors on the postganglionic fibers
*postganglionic fibers travel to the atria, ventricles, SA node, and AV node where they release NE that binds B-1 receptors *action: increase HR, CTY, and conduction velocity |
