| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| smooth muscle structure includes | diagonal chains and dense bodies |
| diagonal of...and are...meaning there are no... | actin and myosin...unstriated..sarcomeres |
| dense bodies are the | actin and myosin |
| actin has...but doesn't have... | tropomyosin...troponin |
| tension for smooth muscle has a...compared to skeletal | wider range of tension generating length |
| in smooth muscles, stretch can ...like in the... | still produce maximal force...stomach when food stretches the stomach it is still able to contract to digest food |
| types of smooth muscle include | multi and single unit |
| multi unit means there are... | multiple innervations of neurons to smooth muscle |
| single unit means there is a...and all | single innervation (one neuron to stimulate all cells)...cells form one unit |
| single units...and are connected via... | contract as a single unit...gap junctions which means electrical conduction |
| smooth muscle is innervated by the | autonomic system (symp and para depending on the muscle) |
| smooth muscles contain | axons and myofibers |
| axons are...containing | nerve fibers...varicosities with synaptic vesicles with neurotransmitters |
| the myofibers of smooth muscle do not have | motor end plates |
| type of smooth muscle stimuli can be | excitatory or inhibitory |
| excitatory stimuli involve...to open which leads to... | voltage gated ca channels...depolarization |
| ca in smooth muscles causes two things | APs and release of neurotransmitters |
| inhibitory stimuli cause...or... | stable resting potential...hyperpolarized cell |
| single unit is activated by...which cause... | pacemaker cells...pacemaker potential |
| pacemaker potentials replace...and innitiate... | graded potentials...depolarization to threshold |
| pacemaker cells have | slow waves |
| single units are connected by....have what kind of activity...and whaqt kind of innervation.... | gap junctions...synchronus(electrical are faster)...autonomic |
| single units have some...as well as from...which means they are not | stimulation by stretch...hormones...just neurally driven |
| multi unit smooth muscles operate more like...and involve...as well as what type of innervation | skeletal...individual neural stimulation...autonomic innervation |
| mosst common type of muscle | is a combination of single and muli units |
| smooth muscle membranes haveno...but they do have... | t tubules...voltage gated ca channels for depolarization |
| voltage gated ca channels change | membrane potential as ca goes into the cell |
| stimulus for smooth muslce membrane may be | excitatory, inhibitory or both |
| types of stimuli for smooth muscle include | neurotransmitters (general and common), hormonal, other chemicals or extracellular conditions like pH in the GI tract), stretch and pacemaker cells |
| pacemaker cells produce pacemaker potentials which occur because of | leak channels where + ions go in until threshold is met = automatic threshold |
| pacemaker potentials cause contraction without | external stimulation (outside of that cell - - - neural) |
| pacemaker cells' slow waves do not mean an...will occur | AP |
| slow waves are for | ion change |
| slow waves have a..ion flux across membrane in... | regular..both directions |
| slow waves need | additional excitatory stimulus in order to cause AP |
| smooth muscle excitation-contraction coupling goes from | excitation to muscle contraction |
| excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) contains a...which is the activity... | latent period...between stimulation and cross bridge cycling |
| latent period involves...which comes from... | ca going into the cell...extracellular (interstitial fluid) and intracellular (sarcoplasmic retic) |
| extracellular ca sources have the.. | most ca, voltage gated CA channels and ligan gated ca channels |
| the ligand gated ca channels | augment the postive charge inside the cell |
| intracellular ca sources are | less developed than skeletal muscles and only some ca is here |
| muscle contraction involves | cross bridge cycling and latch state |
| muscle relaxation involves | ca sequestering |
| thin filaments of smooth muscle has...but not... | actin...troponin |
| what takes place of troponin? | calmodulin |
| calmodulin binds...and also binds and activates... | ca...cytostolic myosin light chain kinase |
| myosin light chain kinase is an | enzyme for binding phosphate to myosin |
| myosin contains...which cause | myosin light chain kinase...phosphorylation of myosin light chains |
| smooth muscle cross bridge activation mechanisms | ca influx activates calmodulin which binds to ca and activates myosin light chain kinase which allows you to phosphorylate myosin light chain to change orientation on myosin head |
| after phosphyrlation of myosin light chain changes shape on myosin head... | myosin head is in position to form cross bridges |
| cross bridge cycling only requires...and step three keeps...meaning you dont need.. | atp for the power stroke...myosin in correct orientation...second atp action |
| lastly in smooth muscle cross bridge cycling, myosin | light chain phosphatase dephosphorylates myosin for relaxation |
| dephosphorylating myosin means the head | is not in the right position |
| smooth muscle relaxation invoplves the...and.... | ca atpase...na/ca ccountertransport activity |
| smooth muscle relaxation what is greater than what | myosin light chain phosphatase activity > myosin light chain kinase activity |
| enzymes are | constantly working so it is a matter of balance between kinase and phosphatase |
| during relaxation the myosin head...and no... | shifts away from actin...cross bridge formation |
| latch state of relaxation... | holds contraction without expending more atp |
| latch state the myosin may be...but still... | dephosphorylated...attached to actin |
| latch state maintains...there is no..., low...and... | tension (continuous contraction)...shortening of myofiber...atp use...long, slow contractions w/o fatigue |
| cardiac muscle cell structure is...which contains... | striated...sarcomeres, t tubules, ca storing sarcoplasmic reticulum |
| cardiac muscle is...which...and contains... | intercalated...holds cells together...desmosomes |
| desmosomes are | proteins that extend between two cells |
| cardiac muscle cells are connected via...and they...which allows for... | gap junctions...branch...multidirectional squeezing |
| cardiac muscle is self...by... | stimulated...pacemaker cells |
| nervous system only | influences, it does not cause stimulation of cardiac muscles |
| neural control of smooth muscle by the sympathetic division | innervates entire heart to make it pump harder and faster |
| parasymp control of cardiac muscle involves which nerve and what does parasymp do | vagus, cranial X...innervates primarily the atria so it only effects heart rate (slower) |
| cardiac action potentials involves | muscle action potentials to make the contraction |
| cardiac action potentials also involves...which initiates... | pacemaker potentials...the heartbeat |
| pacemaker potentials in cardiacmuscle send | signals to cells to generate APs in cells |
| excitation-contraction coupling involves turning | electrical activity to mechanical energy |
| cardiac muscle has a...which is the... | refractory period...inability of cardiac muscle contractions to produce fused tetanus |
| if fused tetanus could occur in cardiac muscle then the | heart could not re-fill with blood bec no relaxation occurs |
| cardiac muscle has no | latch state |
| cardiac muscle cell AP is also called | ventricular action potential |
| cardiac APs look...and are initiated by... | different than neuron or skeletal muscle APs...pacemaker cells |
| resting potential of cardiac muscle is...and depolarization occurs via... | -90 mV...na voltage gated channels opening and most k leak channels closed |
