Physiology Midterm.

QuestionAnswer
Action potential stimulus > Threshold is reached. open Na+ channel>depolarization; Na+ into cell> open for 1ms then close, K+ opens outward repolarization> small hyperpolarization returns to RMP. (refactory - resist restimulation, only very strong stimulus)
synaptic transmission 1. electrical: cells joined by gap junctions all for action potential. 2. chemical: presynaptic cells release chemicals to postsynaptic cell
Neurotransmitters. Class I: ACh - excitatory Class II Amines: Monoamines - Serotonin, histamine; catecholamines - dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine Class III: Amino Acids- Glutamate, glycine, GABA Class IV: Nitric oxide, purines, ATP. Adenosine
Myosin and Actin rope chain event. nerve impulse>ACh release> ACH receptor> Ca++ release from SR, binds with troponin > tropomysoin exposes actin sites> chain rope effect > impulse ends>Ca++ back into sac.

epithelial and connective tissue combine to form these FOUR types of membranes. Epithelial: Cutaneous, serous, mucous Connective: synovial. Lubrication, protection, cushion.
Mitosis Mitosis: Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase. to distribute DNA (meiosis; cell division of sex cells. sperm/ova. diploid (46) reduce to haploids(23))
Enzymes to regulate cell fuxn by regulating metabolic pathways. - ase. lock and key model. allosteric effectors. enzyme catalyze a chemical reaction in both directions.
release of ATP for energy enzymes release stored ATP by splitting it into ADP and a phosphate. cell at rest high ATP, exhausted cell high ADP. cells at rest can recycle ADP back into ATP. body uses 1.1 pounds of ATP during strenuous activity.
