Term
Turning injury into an electrical stimulus is known as?
Definition
transduction
Term
Carrying the electrical stimulus is known as?
Definition
transmission
Term
what are the three main steps needed to deliver pain information
Definition
1. transduction
2. transmission
3. signaling
Term
how does the sensory information of pain then illicit a muscle movement
Definition
via a interneuron that activates a alpha lower motor neuron
Term
what are the body's natural pain suppressors
Definition
1. enkephalin
2. endorphins
Term
A Mu receptor works by
Definition
G protein and K channel opening that results in further repolarization away from threshold therefore blunting response to pain by preventing transmission to brain.
Term
site of action of local anesthetics is
Definition
voltage gates sodium channels
Term
what are the three parts of a local anesthetic
Definition
1. liphilic end
2. middle region (Ester or amide)
3. nitrogen end
Term
Which type of local under go metabolism by esterase
Definition
esters
Term
which local undergoes metabolism via liver? What type of metabolism is this called
Definition
amides undergo conjugation via liver
Term
Are all LA equally weak bases?
Definition
NO. All LA are weak bases but they are NOT equally weak.
Term
What is the Pka mean?
Definition
pH at which there are equal amounts of the lone pair. THe closer the pKa is to Ph then the faster the drug onset.
Term
thin filament of the muscle is known as?
Definition
actin
Term
thick filament of the muscle is known as
Definition
mysoin
Term
muscle relaxants results in the myosin being left in what position
Definition
a locked, cocked ready position.
Term
during cardiac plegia what happens?
Definition
 during cardiac plegia – flood heart with K+ so it goes into suspended animation (bypass) - heart will die if don’t give enough plegia
Term
cardioplegia is?
Definition
cardioplegia is intentional and temporary cessation of cardiac activity, primarily for cardiac surgery.
Term
without __ and ___ nicotinic receptors may migrate out and form into extrajunctional receptors
Definition
need agrin and musc to anchor nicotinic receptors to lipid bilayer.
Term
extrajunctional recpetors can occur in what patient populations
Definition
 Can occur with: muscular dystrophy, spinal cord injury, myotonia, ALS, MS, major burns, ICU pts., muscle breakdown
Term
why does myathesia gravis do patients need less Sux?
Definition
 MG – auto Ab against nicotinic receptors – will not have extra junctional receptors. They just have less receptors, so adjust sux dose.
Term
5 criteria that make General Anesthesia
Definition
1. Loss of all reflexes
2. Hypnosis
3. Amnesia
4. Analgesia
5. Paralysis
Term
ICE used to describe issues with diabetes such as?
Definition
ICE - Inflammation, Coagulation, Endothelial dysfunction
Term
suendothelium injury stimulates what coagulation pathway resulting in what?
Definition
Innate immunity: Subendothelium expresses TF, not in contact with blood unless there is an injury  factor 10X  factor 10a. Creates a short burst of thrombin production called priming thrombin
Term
7a activates what at injury site
Definition
o 7a activates platelets at injury site
Term
In _____________, don’t get thrombin burst or mature platelet plug formed at injury site. Only have loose fibrinogen.
Definition
hemophilia
Term
normal endothelium expresses natural anticoagulants such as___ and ________
Definition
thrombomodulin and AT3
Term
endothelial cells turns ____ into nitric oxide (NO)
Definition
arginine
Term
NO works via
Definition
 NO finds guanykate cyclase cGMP, activates protein kinase G  phosphorylates myosin heads of smooth muscle cells wrapped around blood vessels
Term
when drugs bind to mu receptor what type of channel is opened
Definition
K channel
Term
what type of Na channel is the site of Local anesthetics
Definition
VOLTAGE GATED Na Channels
Term
If the pka of a LA is close to or furhter away from the body's pH will the drug act fastest
Definition
the closer the pKa is to the pH the faster the LA will work
Term
what extreme pH would locals not work well in?
Definition
Extreme acid pH would effect LA from working well since it would be totally bounded by H+ ions.
Term
in a skeletal muscle what are the two filaments
Definition
actin and myosin
Term
for cross bridging to work in our muscles what steps need to happen.
Definition
The myosin head needs to be in the ready state, cocked back. To get there an ATP binds to myosin head. In the head it undergoes hydrolysis resulting in a phosphate molecule and ADP left on the head. The head is now cocked back. Neck the sarcoplasmic reticulum needs to release Ca. Ca needs to bind to troponin on the thin filament. Once this occurs the troponin will tell the tropomyosin to move over and expose the binding sites. As soon as the binding sites are exposed the mysoin head fires and binds to the binding site which then causes the release of the phosphate. then the power stroke occurs causing the ADP to be released. Then cross bridge detachment occurs only after ATP binds to it causing the myosin to release. Cannot go back to cocked position until ATP is hydrolyzed again.
Term
• Extra junctional nicotinic receptors happens with disease states of
Definition
• Extra junctional nicotinic receptors happens with disease states of muscular dystrophy, spinal cord injury, major burns, ALS, MS, myotonia, ICU pts, muscle breakdown. These people are exposed to risk of massive K+ release that causes cardiac arrest. They should not get sux.
Term
MG patients have what abnormalities with their AcH receptors
Definition
• MG have LESS receptors, adjust sux dose but can still give. (autoimmune disorder that eats away at nicotinic receptors and destroys them. No extrajunctional nicotinic receptors here because nothing wrong with neuro or muscle. So they just have less receptors)
Term
explain the physiology of why despite giving NMB drugs that stimulation of the larynx can still cause profound parasympathetic responses? So what exactly does NMB do to the larynx?
Definition
NMB drugs can only block alpha motor neurons. So when you stimulate larynx with intubation it sends signal to the medulla which sends a effector signal to the throat via the recurrent vagus nerve to close airway but can't get there because you blocked it. HOWEVER the medulla can also send vagus signals via non-motor pathways and result in bradycardia ect...
Term
what does the mnumonic ICE stands for relating to DM
Definition
ICE
I: Inflammation
C: Coagulation
E: Endothelial dysfunction
Term
which coagulation pathway is the priming pathway?
Definition
intrinsic
Term
when endothelium is exposed to injury what is released from the subendothelium and what does it incite
Definition
Tissue factor is released and turns 10 into activated 10a. (PRIMING THROMBIN BURST)
Term
prothrombinase complex involves???
Definition
1. Factor 9
2. factor 8
3. factor 10
4. factor 5
Term
NO works to cause relaxation of smooth muscle around vessels by?
Definition
it phosphorylates myosin heads
Term
the nemesis of NO is ? It works by?
Definition
Nemesis of NO is angiotensin 2 which works by desroying the co-factors for NO
Term
NOS needs ___ cofactors for it to be made
Definition
4x cofactors needed
