Catecholamines (dopa, epi, norep) are primarily degraded by these two enzymes
COMT (Catechol-O-methyltransferase) and MAO (monoamine oxidase)
Raphe Nuclei
Bernard Soulier Syndrome (IDK how to spell it) is due to a defect in which platelet molecule?
vWFR
Those with malignant hyperthermia have a defect in this protein
Increased heart rate allows increased contractile force via this mechanism:
Bonus: phosphorylation of this enzyme increases activity of SERCA in the SR of the heart
More action potentials = more intracellular calcium = stronger contraction force; Phospholambin
Depolarization of the SA node is due to the influx of what:
Bonus: Depolarization of Ventricular muscle is due to what:
Calcium, via L-type calcium channels
Na+

In smooth muscle, this must occur on myosin before it is able to interact with actin to contract:
Bonus: what enzyme acts on myosin
Bonus Bonus: which portion of myosin does the enzyme act on?
Phosphorylation by MLCK. Myosin light chain is phossed.
in a graph of atrial pressure, which is responsible for the C-wave, noticed right after the AV valves close
Bonus: The C-wave corresponds with which letter(s) on an ECG?
Ventricular contraction: pushes the AV valve into the atria, increasing pressure
QRS (ventricular depolarization/contraction
NMDA gated channels, ionotropic glutamate receptors, need both ligand binding and voltage changes to open. Changes in intracellular voltage lead to the removal of this, which normally blocks the channel
Mg2+
