PHSI3011 02-1 Cardiac excitation-contraction coupling 2 - How to vary contraction of the heart

Frage 1 von 5

Fülle die Lücke, um den Text zu vervollständigen

Unlike Skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle always recruits every cardiac muscle cell for every contraction. Consequently, contraction force can't be changed by recruiting different numbers of cells for each Compound Action Potential.
So... instead, contractile force is varied using .

How does increased availability of Calcium increase contractility?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • Binding of Ca to troponin causes movement of tropomyosin so it no longer blocks active site on actin.

  • Binding of Ca to tropomyosin causes movement of troponin so it no longer blocks active site on actin.

  • Binding of Ca to troponin causes movement of actin so it no longer blocks active site on tropomyosin.

  • Binding of Ca to tropomyosin causes movement of actin so it no longer blocks active site on troponin.

  • Binding of Ca to actin causes movement of tropomyosin so it no longer blocks active site on troponin.

[Ca] gradients are pretty bloody important, so pumps and exchangers keep them at the "right" levels. These "right" levels are:
Outside the cell = ( 0.1 μM, 1 000 μM, 2 000 μM )
Inside the cell = ( 0.1 μM, 1 000 μM, 2 000 μM )
Inside the SR = ( 0.1 μM, 1 000 μM, 2 000 μM )

Adrenaline (aka Epinephrine) has an inotropic effect on cardiac contractility.
Through the following pathway:
1 - binds to receptor on ventricular cell surface
2 - activates G-protein
3 - increased cAMP
4 - activated cAMP-dependent kinases
5 - phosphorylates key proteins whose properties change
6 - phosphorylated proteins include
(i) SM [sic.] Ca channel
(ii) SR Ca pump (phospholamban)
7 - [somethingorother] peak Ca (and force) to change timecourse of systole
...does it DECREASE or INCREASE contractility?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • decrease

  • increase

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • Spontaneous [brief] opening of one (or a few) Ryanodine Receptors.

  • Spontaneous [prolonged] opening of one (or a few) Ryanodine Receptors.

  • Spontaneous [brief] opening of one (or a few) SR Ca pumps.

  • Spontaneous [prolonged] opening of one (or a few) SR Ca pumps.
