|
is there a higher calcium concentration inside or outside the cell?
|
outside
|
|
what is the major function of the glycocalyx?
|
acts like a sticky substance to help cells stick together, or to aid with nutrient attachment for eventual absorption, or to aid in trapping substances like hormones
|
|
are voltage gated and chemical gated channels examples of simple diffusion or facilitated transport?
|
simple diffusion
|
|
does facilitated diffusion require a carrier protein to shuttle the molecule across?
|
yes
|
|
the H/K ATPase is an example of what kind of active transport?
|
primary
|
|
describe cotransport as a secondary active transport?
|
2 molecules going in the same direction. 1 is going down its concentration gradient which allows the other to go against its gradient
|
|
are ion channels selective or non-selective?
|
selective
|
|
what is the nernst equation?
|
E= +-60 log10 ([I]/[E])
|
|
at rest, would a negative ion have a positive or negative nernst potential?
|
positive
|
|
what is the resting membrane potential roughly?
|
-70 to -90
|
|
why does Na still come into the cell during an action potential when the depolarization simultaneously closes the inactivation gates?
|
the inactivation gates are slow to close while the open activation gates open quickly
|
|
what ion is responsible for repolarization during an action potential?
|
potassium
|
|
why is there an undershoot following an action potential?
|
potassium channels are open a long time and begin to assume its membrane potential, which is negative.
|
|
what is responsible for the absolute refractory period of an action potential?
|
Na inactivation gates are all closed
|
|
what is mainly responsible for maintaining the resting membrane potential of a neuron?
|
potassium
|
|
what does the neuronal fiber type C do?
|
post ganglionic fibers of the ANS
|
|
is serotonin an excitatory or inhibitory neurotransmitter?
|
excitatory
|
|
is glycine an inhibitory or excitatory neurotransmitter?
|
inhibitory
|
|
what is the primary MOA of barbituates and benzos?
|
act on GABAa to increase Cl- conductance
|
|
what neurotransmitter controls sweat glands and piloerector muscles?
|
Ach binding to M receptors (sympathetics though!)
|
|
what drugs are commonly associated with increased impulse control problems like gambling?
|
DA agonists for Parkinson's (ropinirole, pramipexole, levodopa)
|
|
what is deprenyl?
|
aka selegiline. MAOB inhibitor for parkinson's
|
|
procyclidine and biperiden have what MOA and are used for what disease?
|
antimuscarinics used for parkinson's
|
|
what are the positive symptoms of schizophrenia?
|
delusions, hallucinations
|
|
which 1st generation anti-psychotic is rarely used because it causes QT prolongation among other things?
|
thioridazine
|
|
is tardive dyskenesia reversible?
|
no
|
|
how do antipsychotics have anti-emetic effects?
|
block D2 receptors in chemoreceptor trigger zone
|
|
what is the DOC for partial seizures?
|
carbamazepine
|
|
what is the DOC for status epilepticus?
|
diazepam
|
|
what is the MOA of levetiracetam?
|
binds to SV2A and inhibits neurotransmitter release
|
|
which antiseizure drug has analgesic properties and can be used in painful conditions such as diabetic neuropathy?
|
pregabalin
|
|
what are the 3 MOA of metoclopramide?
|
dopamine blocker in CTZ, M3 agonist in GI tract, and 5HT3 blocker at high doses
|
|
what do the -setron drugs such as odansetron do?
|
powerful 5HT3 blockers used for severe nausea and vomiting with serious medical conditions
|
|
how does senna and castor oil act as laxatives?
|
they are irritants that stimulate peristalsis
|
|
is facilitation of a spinal segment seen more with acute or chronic dysfunction?
|
chronic
|
|
can an intense visceral or somatic afference spread to facilitated segments that are above or below the expected thoracolumbar segment?
|
yes
|
|
what technique can be used to decrease sympathetic tone in the sympathetic chain in the thoracic region?
|
rib raising
|
|
if a chapman's point is found, what is the next thing done?
|

|
|
which Chapman's points, anterior or posterior, are the ones used for diagnosis?
|

|
|
what are the borders that make up the functional thoracic inlet?
|

|
|
are lymphatic pump treatments used before or after the 4 thoracic diaphragms are treated?
|
