MUSCULOSKELETAL - muscle cells / contraction

*Fast twitch / slow twitch muscle cells

  • type 1 = ONE SLOW RED OX
    --> slow twitch arobic / mito with NO glycogen
  • type 1 = TWO RED OXes are FASTER
    --> type 2a and 2b

*Sarcoplasmic reticulum Release of Calcium Pathway

  • Ryanodine Receptors
  • DHR = Di Hydro Pyridine Receptors
    --> these are either mechanical or Ca+ induced
  • Skeletal muscle = coupled DHR/Ryanodine Receptors
    --> the conformational change of
    --> DHR MECHANICALLY attached to the RYR releases the Ca++ from the SPR
  • Cardiac muscle = SEPARATE DHR/Ryanodine Receptors
    --> the release of Ca++ from teh SPR comes from
    --> calcium induced calcium release from the SPR

*Skeletal vs Cardiac DHR / RYR

  • Skeletal muscle = coupled DHR/Ryanodine Receptors
    --> the conformational change of
    --> DHR MECHANICALLY attached to the RYR releases the Ca++ from the SPR
  • Cardiac muscle = SEPARATE DHR/Ryanodine Receptors
    --> the release of Ca++ from teh SPR comes from
    --> calcium induced calcium release from the SPR

Allelic Heterogeneity

Case example:

Notes:

  • note that whenever talking about ___ heterogeneity, this means there is difference = hetero- within that object that results in the same phenotype
    --> the exception is phenotypic heterogeneity ofcourse where it means different phenotypes from the different mutations on the same gene
  • in allelic heterogeneity we are talking about possibly different mutations within the same allele, but they all manifest as the same phenotype
  • in genetic heterogeneity we are talking about possibly different gene mutations within different genes, but they all manifest as the same phenotype
  • in phenotypic heterogeneity we are talking about different phenotypes arising from the same gene undergoing different mutations
  • note in the above that polygenic disease means that a disease is cause by defects in multiple other genes
    --> best example is T2 DM which is clearly hereditary, but so many different genes are involved that we don't know of

Skeletal muscles move MYAA TITZ


  • My = M line in the middle = Myosin
    --> A band surrounds it
  • TITZ = titin holds M line = myosin to the Z line
    --> TITZ has an I in it
    --> I band goes with the Z line

Pathophys:

  • recall MY TITZ for sarcomeres
    --> M line has MYocytes
  • connects with Titin to Z line
    --> where actin are attached
  • most common mutation that leads to DCM
    --> TTN gene mutation for titin protein
    --> myosin are loosley held on Z lines by defective titin
    --> leads to dilation of the cardiomyocytes

  • tropomyosin = TROMPS on you
    --> troponin = bodyguard of the myosin
  • Ca++ binds to the bodyguard = tropomyosin
    --> actin can then bind the myosin heads

*Frank Starling Mechanism

  • the more muscles are stretch = end-diastolic sarcomere length
    --> the more powerful they contract

Clinical Case

Notes:

*Negative feedback systems of muscles

  • muscle TESNILE strength feedback = Golgi Tendon
  • muscle length and stretch = msucle spindles

*Golgi Tendon organs

  • muscle TESNILE strength feedback = Golgi Tendon
  • used for TENDONS under pressure = weight lifting

*muscle spindles - negative feedback system

  • muscle length and stretch = muscle spindles

*Calcium regulation in Muscle cells from

  • entering in the sarcolemma through the L type Dihydropyridine Rs
  • to entering the Rannodine receptors on the sarcoplasma reticulum
  • SERCA2 pumps bring the Ca++ back into the Sarco Retics

*Transverse T tubules

  • these are actually very important to get the Ca++ to the sarcoplasmic retic sites in a coordinated way
    --> this way all the muscle cells can contract together
  • if you don't have proper t tubules you can get limb girdle dystrophies since muscles can't contract together
