Skeletal
​A) In skeletal muscle what do we mean by excitation-contraction coupling?
​B) What causes the excitation? Be specific as to the events and ions and channels involved.
​C) How is it linked to the contraction events? What ion is involved and how does it work to initiate contraction? (include the proteins activated)
​D) What causes relaxation? (you do not have to describe the complete contraction event, just what allows it to start and what ends it)

1. What additional questions might you ask the parents?
2. Briefly outline how you would investigate the clotting abnormalities.

3. What are the possible explanations for these results?

The prolonged PT and APTT correct in a mix with normal plasma.

A 10-day-old baby, previously well, breast fed and born at home is found by his parents unconscious and bleeding from mouth and gums. The only history of note is that the mother had had a major post-partum haemorrhage and had required emergency admission to hospital.

ANS
A) Compare the two branches of the autonomic nervous system in terms of neurotransmitters and receptors.
​B) How can the same neurotransmitter cause different responses? Be specific as possible and compare the lungs bronchial muscles with the heart response to epinephrine in terms of their receptor types and second messenger respones.

For acetylcholine, for norepinephrine, and for epinephrine:

Explain the biochemistry of each one’s synthesis (though you do not need to know the names of the enzymes involved in its biosynthesis), explain where each is synthesized (in which cells), know the mechanisms and/or enzymes by which each is removed from the secretory site.

  • Discussion Question : Describe one physical, chemical, biological or psycho-social stress hazard that workers can be exposed to on the job, and one strategy that can be implemented to prevent or reduce the exposure. Why is it important for primary healthcare providers, (physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants) to ask patients about their occupation when performing routine physical exams?

Mr. V is a 55-year-old alcoholic who checked into a clinic, complaining that he has been experiencing a persistent cough and feeling more fatigued, nauseous, and irritable. In addition, he is experiencing more frequent memory lapses. His stomach is distended, but on palpation, his liver is small in size and firm, indicating cirrhosis. Lab tests indicate a decrease in hemoglobin, albumin, levels with elevated serum bilirubin and ammonia levels.

a) Provide a specific rationale for each of Mr. V’s manifestations and blood values.

b) what is the prognosis?

  1. At the peak of an action potential, the membrane potential of a human motor neuron reaches about +30mV. What value for “alpha”, the ratio of PNa/PK, allows this to occur. Use an online calculator/simulation to find a value for alpha that approximates what happens to reach this membrane potential, and write out the entire GHK equation (the version with just sodium and potassium) that can produce this membrane potential, including normal ion concentrations and temperature.
