What does tropomyosin do?

|
What does the myosin head do to the ATP?

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?
