  • Front
  • Back
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?
investigate to see if there is a problem with the organ in question
which Chapman's points, anterior or posterior, are the ones used for diagnosis?
anterior
what structure corresponds to the chapman's point found on the lateral superior humerus?
conjunctiva, retina
what are the borders that make up the functional thoracic inlet?
manubrium with angle of Louis, first 2 ribs, T1-T4 vertebrae
are lymphatic pump treatments used before or after the 4 thoracic diaphragms are treated?
after
in a compensated fascial pattern, are the diaphragms alternating in different directions or are they in same direction?
alternating direction
what cranial nerves carry parasympathetic fibers to the carotid body and carotid sinus?
9 and 10
does the hypogastric plexus contain sympathetics, parasympathetics, or both?
both
what is the segmental sympathetic innervation to the prostate?
T12-L2
where does the dura attach?
cranial bones, foramen magnum, C2, C3, S2
during cranial flexion, does the sacrum nutate or counternutate?
it counternutates
during cranial extension, do the paired cranial bones internally or externally rotate?
they internally rotate
in cranial torsions, how do you name the side of the torsion?
which side has the greater wing of sphenoid higher
in vertical or lateral cranial strains, how do you name the side?
named for where shenoid is in relation to midline
what cranial nerves can be affected if the sphenoid is in dysfunction?
1-8
what is the purpose of CV4 technique?
fixes any SBS compression that exists to increase CRI amplitude
