Name the 3 types of muscle, including whether they are involuntary or voluntary.

What are smooth, cardiac, and skeletal muscles. 

What are:  involuntary for smooth and cardiac + voluntary for skeletal.

100

What is needed in order for a muscle contraction to occur?

What is a stimulus, calcium, and ATP

100

What is the name of the hormone the heart produces? (hint:  it's antagonistic to aldosterone)

What is atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)

100

List the order of the conduction system for the heart.

Also, give me the primary pacemaker and the name of the cells which initiate heartbeat.

What is:  SA node>AV node> AV bundle (left and right bundles)> Purkinje fibers

What is the SA node as primary pacemaker 

What is the nodal cells that initiate heartbeat


100

Give another name for contraction and relaxation

What is systole (contraction) and diastole (relaxation)


200

Name the properties of muscle tissue

What are:  excitability, contractility, elasticity, and extensibility.

200

Which structures within a sarcomere disappear during a contraction? Which ones remain the same?

For contraction, what are:  sarcomere, H-zone, and I-band

The same, what are:  z-disk, A-band, M-line

200

Give the route of how blood is circulated.

What is:  start from SVC and IVC> right atrium> right ventricle> pulmonary semilunar valve> pulmonary arteries> lungs> pulmonary veins> left atrium> left ventricle> aortic semilunar valve

200

What happens after nodal cells fire?

A threshold is reached (the slow-gated Na channels open)

Depolarization (fast-voltage gated Ca channels open to allow influx)

Repolarization (Ca channels close and voltage-gated K channels open to allow eflux of K)

200

what happens when atrial pressure is greater than ventricular pressure? what about vice versa?

when atrial>ventricular, what is the AV valves opens. vice versa, what is the AV valves close.

300

Give me the layers of muscle (from superficial to deep) 

Can you also give the order of skeletal muscle organization?

What are:  epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium.

What is:  muscle, fascicles, muscle fiber (myofiber), myofibrils, myofilametnts, acting and myosin

300
Name the two types of filaments and state which is thick or thin.

What are myosin (thick) and actin (thin)

300

What are the two types of pulmonary circulation?

What are pulmonary (carries deoxy blood to lungs) and systemic circulation (oxygenated blood to cells)

300

Why is the refractory period important?

What is to allow more Ca to enter cell in order to prolong depolarization, prevent tetany, and to allow increased strength during contraction.

300

This happens when preload and contractility go up while afterload goes down. what happens if afterload goes up?

What is a greater EDV, lower ESV, and greater stroke volume.

For afterload, what is a lower stroke volume and greater ESV

400

This structure is where the motor neuron comes into close proximity to the muscle fiber.

What is the NMJ

400

A t-tubule and terminal cisternae form?

What is a triad

400

What are the differences between an insufficient valve and a stenotic valve?

What are blood regurgitation (cusps not closing tightly) and valve cusps not opening completely.

400

Someone draw an EKG including the waves and segments. Also, explain what occurs during each wave.

What are:  P-wave (atrial depolarization), QRS complex (atrial repolarization and ventricular depolarization), T-wave (ventricular repolarization), PQ segment (atria contracting) ST segment (ventricles contracting), PR interval, QT interval

400

What 3 factors influence stroke volume

preload, contractility, and afterload.

500

What are the structures within a sarcomere?

What are:  z-disk, M line, A band, I band, H-zone, thin filaments, thick filaments

500

List the steps of how a muscle contraction occurs.

What is:  AP travels down a neuron

ACh is released

Depolarization of the sarcolemma

Wave of depolarization travels down t-tubules

Wave comes in contact with SR which releases Ca

Ca binds to troponin

Troponin causes tropomyosin to uncover actin binding sites

Myosin with ATP head is hydrolyzed

Myosin head binds to active site

Pi is released from myosin head to pull actin and myosin past each other

ADP is discarded and a new ATP binds.

Ca is resequestered back to SR


500

True or False: S1 is the closing of the semilunar valves and S2 is the closing of the AV valves

What is..... False

500

What types of abnormal heart problems are there?

What are atrial/ventricular fibrillation, heart blocks (1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree blocks)

500

compare systemic edema vs. pulmonary edema

what is malfunction of right ventricle for systemic (blood in systemic circulation)

what is malfunction of left ventricle for pulmonary (swelling and fluid in lungs)
