1. Sarcomere


2. A band


3. H band


4. I band


5. Thin filament


6. Thick filament


7. Z disc

Protein that runs fromz disc to M line and allows elastic recoil

Titin

Found in the middle of each A band. Help hold down thick filaments.

M lines

What protein is thick filament composed of

Myosin

What protein is thin filament composed of

Actin-also have tropomyosin and troponin

What is the purpose of troponin and tropomyosin?

Keep myosin from binding at rest

Where is calcium stored

SR-sarcoplasmic reticulum

What is released to tell troponin it's time to contract

Calcium

Lymphatic organs

Spleen, thymus, tonsils, lymph nodes

Plasma proteins

Albumin, globulins, fibrinogen

Albumin

Creates osmotic pressure. Helps draw water from tissues into capillaries to maintain blood volume and pressure

Types of globulins

Alpha and beta-transport lipids and fat soluble vitamins


Gamma-antibodies that function in immunity

Fibrinogen

Helps in clotting after becoming fibrin

Serum

Blood without fibrinogen

Erythrocytes

RBCs- carry oxygen, flat biconcave discs. Lack nuclei and mitochondria. Have 120 day life span

Leukocytes

WBCs-have nuclei and mitochondria. Diapedesis (movement through capillary wall) 2 types granular and agranular

Granular leukocytes

Neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils

Agranular

Monocytes and lymphocytes (t-cells and b-cells)

Heart structure

What prevents the AV valves from everting?

Papillary muscles and chordae tendineae

Action potential of other cells vs pacemaker

Pacemaker uses HCN-Ca2+-K+ hyperpolarization causes it to never stop

Why do cardiac muscle action potential have a long plateau?

Prevents summation and tetanus

Structure of a Blood vessel

Structure of a Blood vessel

1. Tunica Externa


2. Tunic media


3. Tunic interna


4. Endothelium


5. Lumen

Structural differences in arteries and veins

Veins have valves


Arteries have internal elastic membrane in tunica interna


Arterioles have precapillary sphincters.

What is tunica interna made of

simple squamous endothelium

What is tunica media made of?

Composed of smooth muscle tissue

What is tunica externa made of?

Connective tissue-it is the outer most layer

Different types of capillaries?

Fenestrated, continuous, discontinuous

What type of capillaries are found in muscle, adipose tissue, and central nervous tissue? Adjacent cells are close together

continuous

What type of capillaries are found in kidneys, intestines, and endocrine glands? Have pores in vessel walls.

fenestrated

What type of capillaries are found in bone marrow, liver and spleen? Have gaps to allow proteins through.

Discontinuous

Most blood volume is held where? Veins vs. Arteries

Veins

Thinner walled?


Veins vs Arteries

Veins

What three things help with venous return?

Valves, breathing, and skeletal muscles

What are the three functions of the lymphatic system?

1. transport excess interstitial fluid


2. Transports absorbed fats



What are the two types of immunity

innate and adaptive

Includes internal and external defenses. First line-epithelial membranes, high acidity in stomach, cells that canengulf/kill pathogens, fever

Innate

PAMPs?

Pathogen Associated Molecular Patterns

Three types of phagocyte cells

Neutrophils, Mononuclear phagocytic cells, and organ-specific phagocytes

Fever is regulated by what??

The hypothalmus

Site of new T Lymphocytes through late childhood. Degenerates in adulthood

Thymus

Considered primary lymphoid organs

Bone marrow and thymus

Secondary lymphoid organs-capture and present pathogens

lymph nodes, spleen, tonsils, and Peyer's patches

B cells can become what two types of cells?

Memory or plasma. Plasma cells produce antibodies.

What are the 5 classes of immunoglobulins

IgG, IgA, IgE, IgM, IgD

Function of IgG

Main form of antibody. Production increased after immunization; secreted during secondary response

Function of IgA

External secretions such as saliva and mother's milk

Functions of IgE

Responsible for allergic symptoms in immediate hypersensitivity reactions

IgM

Antigen receptor on lymphocyte surface prior to immunization; secreted during primary response

IgD

Function as antigen receptors on lymphocyte surface prior to immunization; other functions unknown

Describe an antibody structure

Y-shaped protein-2 long heavy chains 2 shorter light chains. Bottom is constant. Top varies by antibody

Describe innate immunity

inherited-nonspecific

Describe adaptive immunity

learned from exposure to specific pathogens-specific

Killer T Lymphocytes

Surface molecules-CD8


Secrete perforins and granzymes

Helper T Lymphocytes

Surface molecule is CD4


Improve ability of B lymphocytes to become plasma cells


Enhance Killer T cells


Secrete lymphokines

Regulatory T Lymphocytes

Surface molecules CD4 and CD25


Inhibit response of B lymphocytes and killer t lymphocytes
