  • Front
  • Back
muscle cell membrane
sarcolemma
muscle fibers are made up of
myofibrils
myofibrils are made up of
myosin and actin
think filaments, dark bands
myosin
thin filaments, light bands
actin
Light muscle bands (actin) builds up in who? and Why?
marathon runners because they are more resistant to fatigue
the striated appearance of muscle fibers is due to what?
alternating bands of dark and light filaments
Energy is needed for the skeletal muscle contraction to occur and this is derived from the breakdown of
ATP
filaments which bind actin and myosin together
z discs
portion of myofibrils between tow z discs making up a skeletal muscle cell
sarcomere
this contains K+, mag, and phosphate, and enzymes and mitochondria
sarcoplamic recticulum
what does the sliding filament theory say
actin and myosin will slide over one another in order to cause a contraction
where is Ca+ released
scaroplasmic recticulum
when ca enters the myofibrils what happens
actin and myosin slide over each other causing a contraction
what three proteins make up the actin filament
actin, tropomyosin, and troponin
in the resting state this covers the actins active sites so that a contraction cannot occur
tropomyosin
this binds calcium and initiates contraction
troponin
3 types of troponin
Troponin C
Troponin T
Troponin I
what does troponin I do?
Troponin C
Troponin T
keeps tropomysin next to actin
strongly attracted to calcium
strongly attracted to tropomyosin
explain the process of a muscle contraction
Ca released for sarcoplasmic reticulum, Ca binds to troponin C, troponin C deactivates the troponin-trypomysin complex exposing myosin binding sites, myosin binds to actin and pivots pulling the actin causing a contraction
compartment syndrome acts similarly to ICP in what way?
monroe kellie doctrine
compartment syndrome can lead to _____ causing renal failure
myoglobin urea
what is virchows triad
hypercoaguability,
hemodynamic changes (statius, turbulence)
endothelial injury or dysfunction
what is pascals law
change in pressure=density X force of gravity X (change in height of the fluid column)
Pascals law helps to explain what in terms of compartment syndrome
decreased perfusion to elevated extremities (legs, arms etc)
what do you use when a patient is in the lateral position to reduce the risk of extremity ischemia ?
axiallary roll
what is compressed in the lithotomy position that could lead to compartment syndrome
popliteal artery, use foot straps instead of things that hold under the knees if long procedure
what are the 6 P's of compartment syndrome
pain, palor, pulselessness, paresthesia, paralysis, poikelthermia (cold)
hyperesthesia and allodynia define what
extreme pain when something is being done that doesn't usually hurt, seen with compartment syndrome, bush of the area causes extreme pain
pressure greater than ____ equals compartment syndrome
30
acetylcholine is hydrolized into _____ and_____ by acetylchlinesterase
choline and acetate
______ provide acetol co enzyme A which gets put together with choline by acethycholitransferase to make new Ach
mitochondria
what is the make up of a nicotinic cholinergic receptor
2 alpha, 1 beta, 1 epsilon, 1 delta
NMJ has a large margin of safety so effects of a non depolarizing muscle relaxant not seen until what % of receptors are blocked
75
NDMR=
SUCCS or DMR=
competitive antagonist
agonist
what are the pre synaptic effects of NDMR
decreases the amount of Ach at the NMJ
which NDMR drugs are thought to have pre synaptic effects
benxylisoquinolines
curare, atracurium, cisatracurium
pre synaptic effects are thought to be responsible for what
The fade seen on the nerve stimulator
what will happen if you mix a benzylisoquinoline what a aminosteroid?
synergism
So if you give 1/4 roc with 1/4 atracurium it will give you a dose stronger than 1 dose of either.
why is there not an ongoing contraction at the motor end plate when using suxs
because succs stays on the end plate keeping it depolarized...kind of like a refractory period
where is the one place that Succs leads to tonic contraction?
extraocular muscles
how long will the extraoccular tonic contraction occur and how much with the IOP be increased with the use of Succs
8min 8mmhg
what are the aminosteroid NDMR
vecuronium, rocuronium, pancuronium
how are the aminosteorids (Rock, vec, and pancuronium) metabolized
liver/kindey
the benzylisoquinolines have what type of degradation
enxymatic, humoral (hoffmans elimination)
if you give roc before succs to decrease the faculations would you need more or less succs?
more
what things increase the likelyhood of channel blocking preventing open receptors
aminoglycosides, tricyclic antidepressants, cocaine
NMB reversals are what type of drugs
anti-acetylcholinesterase drugs
allow ach to be more competitive at receptor sites
neostigmine is given with what anticholonergic? how long is its onset
glycopyrrolate
8 min
edrophonium (tensolon) is given with what anticholinergic? how long is its onset
atropine
1 min
edrophonium if better paired with what NDMR and why
benzylisoquinolines because they both have presynaptic effects.

Benzylisoquinolines decrease the amount of ach at the NMJ and edrophonium will increase ach from the terminal
of the reversals which has less muscurinic effects
edrophonium
what things can desensitize (make pt weaker) receptor to the action by ach
volatile, antibiotics, local anesthetics, phenothiazines, ca channel blocker, ach agonist
what antibiotics cause desensitation of receptors to action by ach (make pt weaker)
aminoglycosides, clindamycin, and mostly polymixin
when succ is used in doses greater than ____ or prolonged infusion what can occur.
2mg/kg
phase two block, also known as desensitization block or dual block
what is the first sign of a phase II block
tachyphylaxis
in extrajunctional receptors the epslion subunit is replaced by what...what does this mean?
gamma, receptor stays open longer allowing more K out leading to Hyperkalemia
review slide on hyperkalemia following sux, 20
all leading toward vtach also look at list that causes extrajunctional receptors
autoimmune disease which reduces the number of ach receptors
myasthenia gravis
is release of ach normal in myasthenia gravis
yes, it is post junctional problem with decreased number of ach receptors
