Pacemaker cells have an unstable membrane potential

- At - 60 mV (RMP), IF ion channels open (NA+ influx and K+ efflux passage) ** Movement of Na+ is greater b/c there are more (depolarization) - At -40 mV, IF channels close & CA2+ channels open. - At +20 mV, CA2+ start to close and K+ channels open causing repolarization *does NOT need a nerve to do the rhythm (on its own)

Erythrocytes must be replaced continually

- Because they lack organelles, they cannot divide (no centrioles). - An individual RBC falls apart after about 100 to 120 days. - They are replaced pretty much continuously, synthesize massive amounts of hemoglobin, ejecting nucleus and organelles. - An immature red blood cell is called a reticulocyte (still contains some rough ER). - Reticulocytes function normally (like mature RBCs), and within 2 days have ejected with remainder of the rough ER. - Rate of red blood cell production is governed by the glycoprotein erythropoietin

Ventricular Systole (Events During Cardiac Cycle)

Leukocytes and Platelet Production

- Colony-stimulating factors (CSF) regulate the production of leukocytes. - Leukocyte production is governed by existing white cell count, so each type is made based on demand. The proportions of white cells are always changing. Thrombopoeietin (TPO) regulates growth and regulation of megakaryocytes, which fragment, giving rise to platelets . Megakaryocytes get quite large, often undergoing mitosis 7 times before fragmenting! TPO agonists are a class of drug that are sometimes used to stimulate platelet production in patients with inadequate clotting ability. Platelets contain serotonin, ADP, calcium, and PDGF.

Endocrine System Facts

- Composed of glands - Glands produce hormones - Hormones are chemical messengers that are released directly into the blood (no ducts) - Hormones work at specific locations (targets) - Receptors may be on target cell membrane or inside the cell (intracellular) - The pituitary is often called the Master Gland of the Body since it oversees much of the action of other glands - The pituitary gland is controlled by the hypothalamus - The pituitary gland is functionally and structurally related to the hypothalamus - Structural relationships include direct axonal connections between the hypothalamus & the posterior pituitary & a specialized "portal" system (a capillary network) - Functional relationships include release of releasing and inhibiting hormones by the hypothalamus which affect the anterior pituitary & the production of oxytocin & ADH by the hypothalamus which are stored & released as needed by the posterior pituitary.

Mucosa

- Consists of a layer of epithelial cells, lamina propia, & a layer of smooth muscle (muscularis mucosae) The wall is heavily folded: these folds produce RUGAE in the stomach, & PLICAE in the small intestine. In addition, the wall invaginates to form glands & crypts.

Things to remember about gametogenesis

- In males, spermatogenesis proper (meiosis) does not begin until puberty, under the direction of gonadotropins (FSH, LH) and testosterone. - Inhibin is released when sperm count is around 20 million/ml and above (prevents too much sperm). - In females, oogenesis (meiosis) begins before birth and is halted before birth, leaving primary oocytes "frozen" in the ovaries until puberty. - Beginning at puberty, once a month, one primary oocyte goes through its second meiotic division, and will finish meiosis only if fertilized by a sperm.

CSF Circulation

1. CSF is produced by choroid plexus in each ventricle. 2. CSF flows from lateral ventricles and 3rd ventricle through the cerebral aqueduct into the 4th ventricle. 3. CSF in 4th flows into subarachnoid space by passing through openings in the roof of the 4th ventricle. These openings are the paired lateral apertures and the single median aperture. CSF also fills the central canal of the spinal cord. 4. As it travels through the subarachnoid space, CSF removes waste products and provides buoyancy for the brain and spinal cord. 5. CSF accumulates w/i the suarachnoid space, it exerts pressure w/i the arachnoid villi. This pressure exceeds the pressure in the venous sinuses. Thus, the arachnoid villi extending into the dural venous sinuses provide a conduit for a one-way flow of excess CSF to be returned into the blood within the dural venous sinuses.

The spinal cord consists of chains of neurons that relay info to each other. 3. The spinal cord is symmetrical. 4. The mapping of the body remains consistent in the spinal cord, as it does in the brain. SOMATOTOPY.**

Action Potentials of Contractile Cardiac Muscle Cells

1. Depolarization opens a few fast voltage gated NA+ channels in the sarcolemma, allowing extracellular Na+ to enter. This influx initiates a positive feedback cycle that causes the rising phase of the action potential (and reversal of the membrane potential from −90 mV to nearly + 30 mV). The period of Na+ influx is very brief, because the sodium channels quickly inactivate and the Na+ influx stops. 2. When Na+ -dependent membrane depolarization occurs, the voltage change also opens channels that allow Ca2+ to enter from the extracellular fluid. These channels are called slow CA2+ channels because their opening is delayed a bit. The Ca2+ surge across the sarcolemma prolongs the depolarization, producing a plateau in the action potential tracing. Not many voltage-gated K+ channels are open yet, so the plateau is prolonged. As long as Ca2+ is entering, the cells continue to contract. 3. After about 200 ms, the slope of the action potential tracing falls rapidly. This repolarization results from inactivation of Ca2+ channels and opening of voltage-gated K+ channels. The rapid loss of potassium from the cell through K+ channels restores the resting membrane potential. During repolarization, Ca2+ is pumped back into the SR and the extracellular space. ● It ensures that there is a long refractory period, so that tetanic contractions cannot occur & the heart can fill again for the next beat.

CAMP Signaling Mechanism

1. Hormone binds receptor. The hormone, acting as the FIRST MESSENGER, binds to its receptor in the plasma membrane. 2. Receptor activates G protein. Hormone binding causes the receptor to change shape, allowing it to bind a nearby inactive G PROTEIN. The G protein is activated as the guanosine diphosphate (GDP) bound to it is displaced by the high-energy compound (guanosine triphosphate). The G protein behaves like a light switch: It is "off " when GDP is bound to it, and "on" when GTP is bound. 3. G protein activates adenylate cyclase. The activated G protein (moving along the membrane) binds to the effector enzyme ADENYLATE CYCLASE. Some G proteins (Gs) stimulate adenylate cyclase, but others (Gi) inhibit adenylate cyclase. Eventually, the GTP bound to the G protein is hydrolyzed to GDP and the G protein becomes inactive once again. (The G protein cleaves the terminal phosphate group off GTP in much the same way that ATPase enzymes hydrolyze ATP.) 4. Adenylate cyclase converts ATP to cyclic AMP. For as long as activated Gs is bound to it, adenylate cyclase generates the second messenger cAMP from ATP. 5. Cyclic AMP activates protein kinases. cAMP, which is free to diffuse throughout the cell, triggers a cascade of chemical reactions by activating protein kinases. are enzymes that PHOSPHORYLATE (add a phosphate group to) various proteins, many of which are other enzymes. Because phosphorylation activates some of these proteins and inhibits others, it may affect a variety of processes in the same target cell at the same time.

Summary of Cardiac Cycle

1. Ventricular filling: mid-to-late diastole. - Pressure in the heart is low, blood returning from the circulation is flowing passively through the atria and the open AV valves into the ventricles, and the aortic & pulmonary valves are closed. More than 80% of ventricular filling occurs during this period, and the AV valve flaps begin to drift toward the closed position. (The remaining 20% is delivered to the ventricles when the atria contract toward the end of this phase.) Now the stage is set for atrial systole. Following depolarization (P wave of ECG), the atria contract, compressing the blood in their chambers. This causes a sudden slight rise in atrial pressure, which propels residual blood out of the atria into the ventricles. At this point the ventricles are in the last part of their diastole and have the maximum volume of blood they will contain in the cycle, an amount called the END DIASTOLIC VOLUME (EDV). Then the atria relax and the ventricles depolarize (QRS complex). Atrial diastole persists through the rest of the cycle. 2. Ventricular systole (atria in diastole). As the atria relax, the ventricles begin contracting. Their walls close in on the blood in their chambers, and ventricular pressure rises rapidly & sharply, closing the AV valves. The split-second period when the ventricles are completely closed chambers & the blood volume in the chambers remains constant as the ventricles contract is the ISOVOLUMETRIC CONTRACTION PHASE. Ventricular pressure continues to rise. When it finally exceeds the pressure in the large arteries issuing from the ventricles, the isovolumetric stage ends as the SL valves are forced open and blood rushes from the ventricles into the aorta and pulmonary trunk. During this ventricular ejection phase, the pressure in the aorta normally reaches about 120 mm Hg. 3. Isovolumetric relaxation: early diastole. During this brief phase following the T wave, the ventricles relax. Because the blood remaining in their chambers, referred to as the ENDING SYSTOLIC VOLUME (ESV), is no longer compressed, ventricular pressure drops rapidly & blood in the aorta and pulmonary trunk flows back toward the heart, closing the SL valves. Closure of the aortic valve raises aortic pressure briefly as backflowing blood rebounds off the closed valve cusps, an event beginning at the DICROTIC NOTCH shown on the pressure graph. Once again the ventricles are totally closed chambers. Different Pressure/ Same Volume. Typical systolic & diastolic pressures for the pulmonary artery are 24 and 10 mm Hg, compared to systolic & diastolic pressures of 120 and 80 mm Hg, respectively, for the aorta. However, the two sides of the heart eject the same blood volume with each heartbeat.

Ovulatory phase- Occurs mid-cycle, between day 10 - 14. Secondary oocyte with its corona radiata are released into the peritoneal cavity when the ovarian wall ruptures. Only one follicle outstrips the others to become the dominant follicle that will undergo ovulation; the others degenerate (atretic follicles). Luteal phase- Period of corpus luteum activity, typically occuring 10 days after ovulation. Corpus luteum (yellow body) develops from granulosa and thecal cells after secondary oocyte has been released → secretes estrogen and progesterone for 10 days until fertilization occurs → 1. if pregnancy occurs, corpus luteum persists until placenta takes over its hormone-releasing duties → 2. if pregnancy does not occur, corpus luteum degenerates in about 10 days to become corpus albicans (white body) and hormone secretion ceases.

More Na+ inside the cell means the # will move closer to 0.

2 Na+ & 7 K+. More or fewer K+?

More, so membrane potential is a POSITIVE #.

Transport of Oxygen in Blood

Most animals use circulatory systems to move oxygen between the gas exchange organs and the tissues; this bulk flow is much better than diffusion over long distances... but there are serious problems due to the low solubility of O2 in water. Consider and exercising human consuming 4 L of O2/min: - at 37C, only about 4 - 5 mL O2/L can dissolve in the blood - assuming 4 mL O2/L is transfer to the tissues, the heart will need to pump 1,000 L/min ( 1 ton of blood/ min) -- clearly impossible Solution: most (98%) of O2 is NOT transported in the dissolved state. Instead, it is bound to RESPIRATORY PIGMENTS (Hb): O2 in solution ~ 4 mL/L O2 bound to pigment ~ 200 mL/L

Why does calcium matter so much?

Most of our calcium is in our bones (99% or 2.5 lbs), but the remaining 1% is critical for many things: 1. Important signal molecule (eg. triggers exocytosis of synaptic vesicles) 2. It holds cells together at tight junctions. 3. It is a cofactor in the coagulation cascade 4. It affects membrane excitability Ex: In hypoglycemia, neuronal permeability to Na+ increase, making cells hyper excitable. Hyperglycemia has the opposite effect.

Motility: Smooth Muscle

Most of the smooth muscle cells in the GI tract have gap junctions b/n them, creating contracting segments. Different segments exhibit different types of contractions: Tonic contractions: are sustained for long periods of time (up to hours/days) and occur in sphincters, & sometimes in the stomach.

Sympathetic postganglionic fibers that connect sympathetic trunk ganglia with spinal nerves are collectively called the __________________.

Middle and inferior cervical ganglia

Sympathetic preganglionic fibers innervating the thoracic organs originate at T1-T6. From there the preganglionic fibers run to synapse in the cervical trunk ganglia. Postganglionic fibers emerging from the middle and inferior cervical ganglia enter cervical nerves C4-C8 (Figure 14.7). Some of these fibers innervate the heart via the cardiac plexus, and some innervate the thyroid gland, but most serve the skin. Additionally, some T1-T6 preganglionic fibers synapse in the nearest trunk gan- glion, and the postganglionic fibers pass directly to the organ served. Fibers to the heart, aorta, lungs, and esophagus take this direct route. Along the way, they run through the plexuses associated with those organs.

Gender determination depends on the Y Chromosome (2)

The SRY gene produces a SRY protein (= testis- determining factor) that acts as a transcription factor for other genes, such as SOX9, WT1, and SF1. As testes develop, three hormones are secreted: - anti-Müllerian hormone (secreted by Sertoli cells) - Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) (Leydig cells) + - Testosterone (Leydig cells)

Gender determination depends on the Y Chromosome (4)

The Y chromosome consists of only 27 genes on the Y- specific region (the X chromosome has ~1500) Only one of those genes, the SRY, accounts for the largest phenotypic differences between males and females. Other genes have nothing to do with maleness; one codes for tooth enamel, and another for a ribosomal protein.

Gender determination depends on the Y Chromosome (5)

The Y chromosome is particularly vulnerable to mutation because it does not recombine with any other chromosomes during crossing over (the X chromosome can cross over with another X in XX individuals) Many of these mutations result in the loss of genes within a population Conservative estimates suggest that the remaining genes on the Y chromosome will completely disappear in the next 10 million years or so

Cause of SA/AV Node Depolarization?

Unstable RMP → OPEN (LEAKY) Na+ channels → depolarize slowly until threshold is reached → Ca2+ channels open

Action Potential Initiation by Pacemaker Cells

Unstimulated contractile cells of the heart (and neurons and skeletal muscle fibers) maintain a stable resting membrane potential. However, about 1% of cardiac fibers are autorhythmic ("self-rhythmic") cardiac pacemaker cells, having the special ability to depolarize spontaneously and thus pace the heart. Pacemaker cells are a part of the intrinsic conduction system. They have an unstable resting potential that continuously depolarizes, drifting slowly toward threshold. These spontaneously changing membrane potentials, called pacemaker potentials or prepotentials initiate the action potentials that spread throughout the heart to trigger its rhythmic contractions. 1. Pacemaker potential. The pacemaker potential is due to the special properties of the ion channels in the sarcolemma. In these cells, hyperpolarization at the end of an action potential both closes K+ channels and opens slow Na+ channels. The Na+ influx alters the balance between K+ loss and Na+ entry, and the membrane interior becomes less and less negative (more positive). 2. Depolarization. Ultimately, at threshold (approximately −40 mV), SLOW CA2+ channels open, allowing explosive entry of Ca2+ from the extracellular space. As a result, in pacemaker cells, it is the influx of Ca2+ (rather than Na+ ) that pro- duces the rising phase of the action potential & reverses the membrane potential. 3. Repolarization. Ca2+ channels inactivate. As in other excitable cells, the falling phase of the action potential & repolarization reflect opening of K+ channels and K+ efflux from the cell. Once repolarization is complete, K+ channels close, K+ efflux declines, and the slow depolarization to threshold begins again.

Para vs Symp Work Together

We see as antagonist (one off, the other on) BUT IN REALITY: - Working locally @ different parts of the body @ the same time. - At the same time! Innervate the same effectors.

Circadian Rhythm of Melatonin

What is the function of the pineal gland? What does it secrete for this function?

Peristalsis

When contracted = decreases diameter decreases length

RECIPROCAL INHIBITION

When muscle spindles are activated, they cause a reflexive contraction of the stretched muscle. They also cause inhibition of antagonistic muscles, thus increasing the efficiency of contraction. * RECIPROCAL INHIBITION * THESE STRETCH REFLEXES ARE THE ONLY MONOSYNAPTIC REFLEXES IN THE BODY.

Long loop negative feedback

When the last hormone in a pathway feeds back to suppress secretion of its trophic hormones.

Critical Zone/ Hormone Class/ Specific Hormones Produced

Zona glomerulosa/ Mineralocorticoids/ Aldosterone Zona fasciculata/ Glucocorticoids/ Cortisol Zona reticularis/ Gonadocorticoids/ Androgens - Testosterone (mainly)

Graafian follicle

a mature follicle containing a secondary oocyte

The sympathetic division promotes

a number of metabolic effects not reversed by parasympathetic activity. It (1) increases the metabolic rate of body cell (2) raises blood glucose levels] (3) mobilizes fats for use as fuels. In short, sympathetic nerve impulses act only briefly, but the hormonal effects they provoke linger. The widespread and prolonged effect of sympathetic activation explains why we need time to "come down" after an extremely stressful experience.

Sigmoid Colon

an S-shaped structure that continues from the descending colon above and joins with the rectum below

Hippocampus

and amygdala play a role in MEMORY.

Nissl bodies

are clusters of ROUGH ER responsible for synthesis of protein. ---- (primary site of protein synthesis)

Major and minor calyces (calyx)

collect urine draining from papillae, empties urine into pelvis.

Myelin increases

conduction velocity.

Proprioreceptors

found within skeletal muscles, tendons, joints, ligaments, and connective tissue coverings of bones and muscles and relay information concerning body movements. Sense position in skeletal muscle!

Oogenesis process

germline cell (2N) starting in the gonad (ovary). The germline cell then divides into two haploid cells (one much larger than the other). From those two haploid cells, two more haploids come out of each. However, three of the four are small and polar and are later destroyed, but one is larger than the others. That one large one is known as the ovum and is the only cell that's used in fertilization. One ovum is released per month (menstrual cycle) until menopause)

Cranial Nerves

the brain has 12 pairs of cranial nerves associated w/ it. Even though they are connected to the brain, they are part of the PNS. These nerves vary in their function. Some are solely sensory, motor, but most are mixed in function.

Right marginal artery

ANS uses 2-neuron Chain from CNS to Effector Organs

to reach its effortors: 1. The cell body of the first neuron, PREGANGLIONIC NEURON (resides in brain/spinal cord). It's axon, the PREGANGLIONIC AXON, synapse w/ the 2nd motor neurons. 2. The POSTGANGLIONIC NEURON, is the 2nd motor neuron. Its cell body is in an autonomic ganglion outside the CNS. Its axon, the POSTGANGLIONIC AXON, extends to the effector organ.

Converging Circuit

• Many inputs, one output • A concentrating circuit • Example: Different sensory stimuli can all elicit the same memory

Leukocytes (White Blood Cells)

• Spherical, nucleated cells • 4,000 - 11,000 (cells/microliter of blood)

Cardiac muscle cells

● Some cardiac muscle cells are self-excitable. - Contractile cardiac muscle cells, responsible for the heart's pumping activity - Contain special noncontractile cells, called pacemaker cells, that spontaneously depolarize. This property is called automaticity or autorhythmicity. Because heart cells are electrically joined together by gap junctions, these cells can initiate not only their own depolarization, but also that of the rest of the heart. No neural input is required. ● The heart contracts as a unit. Gap junctions tie cardiac muscle cells together to form a functional syncytium. This allows the wave of depolarization to travel from cell to cell across the heart. As a result, either all fibers in the heart contract as a unit or the heart doesn't contract at all. In skeletal muscle, impulses do not spread from cell to cell... are individually stimulated by nerve fibers. Heart acts as a single huge motor unit. Contraction of all of the cardiac myocytes ensures effective pumping by the heart—a half- hearted contraction would just not do. ● The influx of Ca2+ from extracellular fluid triggers Ca2+ release from the SR. In skeletal muscle, the wave of depolarization directly causes release from the SR of all the Ca2+ required for contraction. In cardiac muscle, depolarization opens special Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane. These slow Ca2+ channels allow entry of 10-20% of the Ca2+ needed for contraction. Once inside, this influx of Ca2+ triggers Ca2+- sensitive channels in the SR to release bursts of Ca2+ ("calcium sparks") that account for the other 80-90% of the Ca2+ needed for contraction. ● Tetanic contractions cannot occur in cardiac muscles. The absolute refractory period is the period during an action potential when another action potential cannot be triggered. In skeletal muscle, the absolute refractory period is much shorter than the contraction, allowing multiple contractions to summate (tetanic contractions). If the heart were to contract tetanically, it would be unable to relax & fill, & so would be useless as a pump. To prevent tetanic contractions, the absolute refractory period in the heart is nearly as long as the contraction itself. ● The heart relies almost exclusively on aerobic respiration. Cardiac muscle has more mitochondria, dependent on oxygen for its energy metabolism. The heart relies almost exclusively on aerobic respiration Both types of muscle tissue use multiple fuel molecules, including glucose & fatty acids. But cardiac muscle is much more adaptable & readily switches metabolic pathways to use whatever nutrients are available, including lactic acid.
