What are the 3 types of muscle?
cardiac, skeletal, smooth
What types of muscle are striated?
cardiac and skeletal
What are the striations in skeletal and cardiac muscle from?
sarcomeres
What muscles use intracellular Ca for contraction?
all
Why do smooth muscles appear smooth?
lack of sarcomeres
What happens to skeletal muscle if you cut the nerve? Why?
it dies because it's electrochemically coupled to the nerve (married)
What does it mean to say that skeletal muscle exhibits recruitment?
it recruits more motor units as you need them
What happens when you repeatedly stimulate skeletal muscle?
it gets bigger
Does cardiac muscle need extracellular calcium? Why?
yes, to trigger intracellular Ca release
What does cardiac muscle have the most of? Why?
gap junctions because the whole heart must contract together
Can cardiac muscle function without innervation?
yes
Can smooth muscle function without innervation?
yes
What is the only muscle type that relies on nerve fibers?
skeletal
What does smooth muscle need extracellular muscle for?
to trigger it's second messenger
Where is every protein that the muscle needs made?
in the soma (cell body)
What protein does retrograde transport in the nerve?
dynein
What protein does anterograde transport in the nerve?
kinesin
What does botulinum toxin do?
inhibits the presynaptic release of Ach
Can muscles contract without energy?
yes
Do muscles need energy to relax?
yes
What is the 1st step in muscle contraction?
Ca binds troponin C
What is the second step in muscle contraction?
troponin C releases troponin I
What is the 3rd step in muscle contraction?
troponin I releases tropomyosin
What does tropomyosin do?
releases actin binding sites
What happens next?
myosin heads bind to the actin binding sites and contraction occurs
What does the myosin head release when it binds? What does it bind after the release?
ADP from the previous round and binds a fresh ATP
What does the myosin head do to the ATP?
hydrolyze
Once the ATP is hydrolyzed, what happens?
release and the head returns to the starting position
What releases intracellular Ca from SER stores?
DHP + rayodine arm
What is the first thing that happens after an MI?
Na-K pump stops
What are the first signs of an MI on an EKG in order of appearance?
peaked T-wave > ST-depression > ST-elevation > T-wave depression, then inversion > Q-wave
What does an ST depression mean?
at least 70% stenosis- subendocardial
What does an ST elevation mean?
at least 90% stenosis- transmural (all 3 layers affected)
What is the first enzyme to test for if you suspect an MI? When does it show up and when does it peak?
troponin I- rises in 2 h and peaks in 2 days, but stays positive for 7 days
What is the next enzyme to appear after an MI?
ck-mb rises in 6 hours, peaks in 12 hours, and gone in 24-36
What is the last enzyme to show up after an MI?
LDH 1- rises in 24 hours, peaks in 48 hours, and gone in 72 hours
What does a brown recluse spider inject? What does it do?
collagenase- necroses tissue right away
What does a black widow bite do?
causes massive release of Ach
In the sarcomere, where is ck-mb found?
in the M-line
In the sarcomere, which unit is thin? Which is thick?
actin- thin
myosin- thick
Which filament is attached to the Z-line?
actin
What is the only band that does not over lap? What is it comprised of?
I band- just actin
What is the H-band made up of?
just myosin
What is the A-band comprised of? How long is it?
actin and myosin- it's the length of myosin
Where are skeletal t-tubules found?
at the A/I junction
What is the H-band comprised of?
just myosin
Where are cardiac muscle t-tubules found?
at the Z line
What are the 2 bands that shrink with contraction?
H, I
Does smooth muscle have sarcomeres?
no
Does smooth muscle contain troponin? Actin? Myosin?
troponin- no
actin- yes
myosin- yes
How is actin and myosin setup in smooth muscle?
always bound
What does smooth muscle contain that the other 2 types of muscle do not?
basal bodies
What kind of kinases does smooth muscle have?
myosin light chain kinase- MLCK
myosin light chain phosphatase- MLCP
What is the only band that does not change size in the sarcomere?
A band
What is decreased or no bowel sounds called?
Ilieus
What is a hyperactive or increased bowel sounds called?
gastroenteritis
What do rushing bowel sounds indicate?
obstruction
As muscle contracts, what happen to length?
decreases
What increases as muscle contracts?
force and tension
At what length does maximum muscle tension occur?
2.5 um
Where are Golgi tendon organs located?
at muscle insertions
What is the function of golgi tendon organs?
monitor the force of muscle contractions
How long can muscle hold maximum contraction force? What causes this?
1 sec- golgi tendon organ monitors this
Once muscle fires, what must it do? Why?
relax to prevent damage to the sarcomere
What does a muscle do when it tears? Why?
it spasms to keep the fibers together for healing
What is the treatment for a torn muscle?
rest, apply heat, NSAIDS, and a muscle relaxant
What are the best NSAIDS for muscle pain?
baclofen and cyclobenzaprine
What is a side effect of cyclobenzaprine?
strong anti-Ach effects
What is a joint sprain?
torn tendon or ligament
What is the treatment for a sprain?
rest, ice and compression, elevate the extremity
What is the acronym for a sprain treatment?
RICE- rest, ice, compression, elevation
What is the treatment for muscle strain and a joint strain?
hot, ice, hot, ice, etc
