Calcium

in the sarcoplasmic reticulum

100

What is a useful marker of muscular necrosis we see in patients with dystrophy

creatine kinase

100

What is the most prevalent bone disease

osteoporosis

With cancer patients there can be a distressing, persistent sense of tiredness not proportional to activity, this is called...

CRF, Cancer Related Fatigue

200

what type of cells in the skin function as immune antigen-presenting cells 

Langerhans cells

200

Which protein blocks the active binding sites on actin and which other protein is responsible for unblocking the site.

Tropomyosin blocks the binding site and troponin will change shape and pull tropomyosin off of the binding sites

200

What is the most common form of the muscular dystrophy and which protein is mutated to cause it

(DMD) Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

dystrophin

200

With RA, the immune system mistakenly attacks the synovial membrane so we end up getting a thickened inflammed layer known as 

pannus

A patient with cancer is on long-term corticosteroids. Which adverse effect should the physical therapist monitor most closely?

Muscle weakness and skin fragility

300

What type of corpuscle in the skin responds to skin stretch

ruffini corpuscle 

300

What is the size principle of motor units


    • Motor units with smallest muscle fibers recruited first 
    • Motor units with larger and larger fibers recruited as stimulus intensity increases
    • Largest motor units activated only for most powerful contractions
300

Name and briefly describe an acquired myopathy

  •     ◼Hyperthyroidism: high metabolic rate leading to reduced nutrient stores for muscles to utilze  muscle weakness
  •     ◼Diabetic myopathy
    • Chronic hypoperfusion of muscle (vascular component)
    • Degeneration of peripheral nerves (neurogenic component)
    • Disturbances of carbohydrate metabolism (metabolic component)

  •     ◼Cancer myopathy
    • Common paraneoplastic syndrome
    • Often related to antibodies to tumors cross-reacting with autoantigens in muscle and skin (dermatomyositis)
    • Causes immune-mediated inflammation in muscles

Gait and balance training emphasizing visual input would be beneficial for patients with this chemo related issue

chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy

400

What three pathologies make up the atopic triad 

eczema, allergic rhinitis, asthma

400

Name two places where ATP is used in the muscle contraction/relaxation process

ATP binds to the myosin head and it is broken down to release energy and cause a powerstroke. 

ATP is used to pump calcium back into the SR during relaxation
