|
What are leakage channels?
|
Ungated (always open) channels for K or Na, responsible for neuronal resting membrane potential

|
What are chemically-gated?
|
Responsible for the postsynaptic cell's ability to respond with a change in membrane polarization to a neurotransmitter
|
|
Glial cells background and function
|
Can divide in adult, but they don't fire AP or form synapses
Supporting neuronal functions |
|
What are they?
|
CNS - oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, microglia, and ependymal cells
PNS - Schwanna cells (all functions) |
|
Myelinating glia

|
Schwann cells vs. Oligodendrocytes
|
Schwann cells contribute to only one axon, can ensheath many, synthesize BL
Oligodendrocytes contribute to several, do not synthesize BL |
|
Astrocytes
|
Provide structural support, located in both white and gray
Take up materials from blood and provide nutrition for neuron, same with glucose Recycle neurotransmitter Buffering |
|
Microglia
|
Primary phagocytic cells of the CNS
|
|
Ependymal cells
|
line the ventricles of brain and central canal of spinal cord
secrete CSF |
|
What are t-tubules
|
Extensions of sarcolemma
|
|
Describe excitation-contraction coupling
|
1.) AP invades t-tubules
2.) Voltage-sensing receptor DHP opens Ca channels on sarcoplasmic reticulum 3.) Ca rush into the cytoplasm 4.) Ca binds to troponin 5.) Troponin moves tropomyosin moves out of the way, allowing actin-myosin binding |
|
Ca++-ATPase
|
Pump that pumps Ca++ using ATP back to the sacroplasmic reticulum
|
|
Motor unit recruitment order
|
Lowest to highest threshold
Slow, fatigue resistent first Then intermediates Finally fast, high tension, easily fatigued |
|

ATP hydrolysis is the sole determinant of Vmax
Vmax being the max velocities of shortening |
|
DHPR
|
Dihydropyridine receptors, located in the t-tubules, voltage sensitive Ca channels
main function is to communication with ryanodine receptions that an AP has signaled for contraction |

Channels that release Ca++ from SR into the cytoplasm to activate contractile proteins |
|
Summary of excitation-contraction
|
1.) AP at surface membrane
2.) Transmitting of the signal down T-tubules 3.) Release of Ca from SR (DHYR and RYR) 4.) Ca diffuses to filaments, initiates contraction 5.) Ca taken up by SR = relaxation |

the force required to stretch a relaxed muscle to a given length
force arises from titin |

Passive force prior to stimulation and force generated in response to the stimulus |
|
Isotonic contraction
|
Muscle getting shorter under constant load
|
|
Preload (Isotonic)
|
The load that establishes initial muscle strength
Load is carried by muscle at rest and during contraction |

|
Myosin light chan phosphorylation
1.) AP leads to rise in Ca from the SR 2.) Ca binds to calmodulin 3.) Ca-calmodulin complex binds to Myosin light chain kinases (MLCK) 4.) MLCK phosphorylates the light chain (myosin) 5.) Myosin can now attach to actin and contract |
