These cranial nerves carry the sensory information of taste
CN X, IX, VII
Binding of this ion to tropomyosin will open a binding site for actin and myosin heads, coupling excitation to contraction
Calcium
This reflex is somatic, cranial, polysynaptic, innate (hint: CN II, III)
Consensual pupillary
Wiggers Diagram: Pressure in the left ventricle exceeds that of the aorta, opening this valve at which point?
Aortic valve and point A
These three factors influence resistance in the cardiovascular system
Diameter, Viscosity, Length
This factor affects encoding of stimulus intensity
Frequency of action potential
Lactic acid buildup, ATP and calcium depletion are both factors leading to...
Peripheral fatigue
This reflex is somatic, spinal, monosynaptic, innate (lab)
Knee jerk
The action potential for this cell features a "plateau phase" in between depolarization and repolarization
Cardiac contractile cell
Binding of Norepinephrine to alpha-1 receptors will result in this
Vasoconstriction
This cranial nerve carries the afferent sensory information in the pathway of consensual pupillary reflex
Consensual pupillary
This is a specialized region of the muscle cell membrane made of infoldings and ACh receptors
Motor end plate
This part of the EKG represents ventricular depolarizaton
QRS
Aortic recoil contributes to this aspect of blood pressure
Diastolic BP
ALL preganglionic neurons secrete what neurotransmitter onto which cholinergic receptor?
Acetylcholine and nicotinic receptors
This muscle fiber type has a smaller diameter, more mitochondria, and a darker red color
Slow twitch
This mechanism triggers calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum after calcium enters the cell in contractile cells
Calcium-Induced-Calcium release
In the baroreceptor feedback loop, increased Norepinephrine release and decreased ACh binding to muscarinic receptors leads to this
Increased blood pressure
This adrenergic receptor responds equally to epinephrine and norepinephrine
Beta-1 receptors
This molecule is necessary for muscle relaxation
ATP
These cells in the heart are responsible for setting the heart rate
Pacemaker cells
This positive feedback loop mechanism involves activation of proteins to create a fibrin mesh
Coagulation pathway
