amidated C-terminus
Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) are primarily confined what plexus?
Myenteric Plexus
True or False

CCK and Gastrin can bind to related receptors CCK-A and CCK-B
True
Sympathetic innervation of the ENS is mainly via ? fibers whose cell bodies are located in prevertebra and peri-vertebral ganglia.
POSTGANGLIONIC NERVE FIBERS
What is the Vago-Vagal reflex?
mediated normal gastrointestinal activity

most vagal fibers are SENSORY
Make sure to go over FIG. 2-4 and 2-5
Make sure to go over FIG. 2-4 and 2-5
What stimulates Vago-Vagal reflex pathway?

What are the effects?
Gastric Distention


-Receptive relaxation of proximal stomach

-stimulation of gastric secretion HCl and Gastrin

-regulation gastric motility
What stimulates the Gastroileal reflex pathway?

What are the effects?
Gastric Distention


-Stimulates motility of ileum

-relaxation of ileocecal sphincter
What stimulates the Gastrocolic reflex pathway?

What are the effects?
Gastric Distention


-Stimulates motility of colon
What stimulates the Enterogastric reflex pathway?

What are the effects?
Acid, fat and protein in duodenum


-Inhibits gastric gastric emptying
What stimulates the Ileogastric reflex pathway?

What are the effects?
Distention of ileum


-inhibits gastric emptying
What stimulates Intestino-intestinal reflex pathway?

What are the effects?
Distention in a part of the intestine


-Inhibits motility below the site of distention
Visceral Smooth Muscle has neural contact through ?

Communication among muscle cells via ?
Varicosities


gap junctions (electrical syncytium)
True or False

In visceral smooth muscle --

Action Potentials synchronized with SLOW WAVES produce contractions.
True
Describe the sequence of events of smooth muscle contraction?
Ach binds to muscarinic receptors

Myoplasmic [Ca2+] increases

Ca2+ binds to CALMODULIN

Calmodulin-dependent MLCK activated

Myosin phosphorylated

Myosin ATPase activity increases and cross-bridges form between myosin and actin

Contraction occurs

Dephosphorylation of myosin by MLCK

Relaxation (phasic) or Latch (tonic)
What initiates a visceral smooth muscle action potential?
extracellular Ca2+ enters through VOLATE-ACTIVATED and RECEPTOR-ACTIVATED Ca2+ channels
Failure of the Na+/K+ pump will have what affect on Ca2+ in visceral smooth muscle?
3 Na+ (in) / 1 Ca2+ (out) anti-porter pump failure
When Visceral Smooth Muscle has depletion of Ca2+ stores in SR this leads to ?
Activation of STORE-OPERATED Ca2+ Channels (SOCs)
True or False

Ca2+ entry through SOCs and release of Ca2+ from the SR is VOLTAGE-INDEPENDENT
True
Stimulation of Sarcolemma receptors activate ? which generates ?

=> then causes ? to occur.
activate PLC

generates IP3

stimulates opening of Ca2+ channels in SR
Describe Phasic Contractions
myoplasmic [Ca2+], Cross Bridge Phosphorylation and FORCE reach a peak and then return to baseline.

ICC generate slow waves that cause hypo-polarize smooth muscle

Phasic contractions are synchronized with GI slow waves

Action potentials on the crests of slow waves cause contractions and increased tension int he contracting muscle
