(each controlled by a separate gene)
Answer
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
Question 3
Question
An L-type Calcium channel is highly selective for Calcium, but is also somewhat permeable to Sodium and Potassium.
Answer
True
False
Question 4
Question
During diastole, the Na/Ca exchanger and the SR Ca pump both move Ca. Which way around?
Answer
Na/Ca exchanger will pull Ca IN to the myoplasm; the SR Ca pump will pump Ca back INTO the SR.
Na/Ca exchanger will pull Ca IN to the myoplasm; the SR Ca pump will pump Ca back OUT of the SR.
Na/Ca exchanger will push Ca OUT from the myoplasm; the SR Ca pump will pump Ca back INTO the SR.
Na/Ca exchanger will push Ca OUT from the myoplasm; the SR Ca pump will pump Ca back OUT of the SR.
Question 5
Question
The longitudinal SR contains a high concentrations of proteins acting as an ATP-dependent Ca pump - returning Ca from the myoplasm to the SR lumen (to help terminate contraction).
These proteins are called SERCA.
What does SERCA stand for?
