Frage 1
Frage
Shortening of the muscle occurs by the [blank_start]sliding filament[blank_end] mechanism
- [blank_start]actin[blank_end] filaments slide along adjacent [blank_start]myosin[blank_end] filaments by cycling of cross-bridges with myosin
• The [blank_start]Z[blank_end] lines come closer together and the muscle cell shortens
• The cardiac muscle thus produces [blank_start]force[blank_end] or tension
Antworten
-
sliding filament
-
actin
-
myosin
-
Z
-
force
Frage 2
Frage 3
Frage
This ability of cardiac muscle to increase its [blank_start]contractile[blank_end] force with a slight increase in its [blank_start]length[blank_end] underlies its ability to control [blank_start]stroke volume[blank_end] (the volume of blood ejected from the heart during a single beat)
Antworten
-
contractile
-
length
-
stroke volume
Frage 4
Frage
If the muscle is overstretched (ie, during dilation of the heart), its ability to produce an active tension is reduced

Frage 17

CICR stands for [blank_start]calcium induced calcium release[blank_end]
Frage 18
Frage
SERCA stands for [blank_start]sarcoplasmic endoplasmic reticulum[blank_end] calcium ATPase
Frage 19
Frage
Which of the following statements are true?
Antworten
-
Junctional SR is studded with Ca2+ release channels
-
RYR is a giant protein with a terminal foot with a T-shaped tube in its centre through which Ca2+ ions are releases
-
The density of RYR is low near L-type Ca channels
-
The distance between the Ca channels and the RYR is very short (nm)
Frage 20

-
phospholamban
-
junctional SR
-
ryanodine receptor
-

-
CICR
-

Frage 21
Frage
What is SERCA regulated by?
Antworten
-
phospholamban
-
ryanodine
-
CICR
-
noradrenaline
Frage 22
Frage
What happens at the end of contraction?
Antworten
-
Ca2+ influx ceases and the SR is no longer stimulated to release Ca2+
-
the intracellular concentration of Ca2+ must be rapidly reduced
-
most of the cytoplasmic Ca2+ is pumped back into the SR by SERCA
-
a small amount of calcium is pumped out of the cell by the cell membrane Ca pump
Frage 23
Frage
What does sympathetic stimulation of the cardiac muscle produce?
Antworten
-
Increase in active tension
-
Increase in the rate of active tension development
-
Increase in the rate of tension relaxation
-
Increase in passive tension
-
Increase in the rate of passive relaxation
-
decrease in active tension
-
decrease in passive tension

Frage 26
Frage
cAMP activates [blank_start]protein kinase A[blank_end]
Frage 27
Frage
Protein Kinase A [blank_start]phosphorylates[blank_end] the L-type calcium channel
Frage 28
Frage
Which of the following are true?
Antworten
-
Increased intracellular Ca2+ concentration increases the force of contraction (positive inotropic effect)
-
Protein kinase A phosphorylates Phospholamban and Troponin I
-
phosphorylation of troponin I leads to inhibition of binding of
calcium to troponin C and relaxation occurs
-
phosphorylation of phospholamban leads to reduced inhibition of SERCA which leads to increased uptake of calcium into the SR and relaxation occurs
-
Phospholamban phosphorylation promotes the rate of contraction
