the spinal cord and their axons extend to the skeletal muscles they innervate. The ANS consists of a two-neuron chain. 3. The neurotransmitter released by the somatic motor neurons is acetylcholine‚ which always has an excitatory effect; the neurotransmitters released by the ANS are epinephrine and acetylcholine‚ and both may have either an excitatory or an

neurotransmitter‚ a chemical messenger for the body‚ is released into the gap between the terminal end‚ and the sarcolemma and motor end plate called the synaptic cleft. The particular neurotransmitter is called acetylcholine. Without acetylcholine muscles would not be able to contract. The acetylcholine then combines with receptors to stimulate movement‚ or a muscle impulse. As a result‚ calcium ions flood into to the sarcoplasmic reticulum. This forms connections between the actin and myosin filaments.

Question: A patient is admitted for electroconvulsive treatment (ECT). The physician orders the neuromuscular blocking agent metocurine iodide (metubine) to reduce trauma by relaxing skeletal muscles. Explain the process of muscle contraction and how a neuromuscular blocking agent‚ such as metubine‚ would interfere with muscle contraction. Aaron arrived at the hospital with the following symptoms: drooping eyelids; fatigue and weakness of his muscles; and difficulty talking‚ breathing and swallowing

Overview Snake venom is the poison fluid normally secreted by venomous snakes when biting. It is produced in the glands‚ and injected by the fangs. Snake venom is used to immobilize and/or kill prey‚ and used secondarily in defence. It is a clear‚ viscous fluid of amber or straw colour. There are two main types of venom produced by snakes‚ containing primarily either: *Neurotoxins - these attack the nervous system. *Hemotoxins - these attack the circulatory system. While most snakes’ venom contains

is located outside of the cell and the Ca2+ is located inside the sarcoplasmic reticulum. All leak channels and pumps are closed at this point. Muscle Cell stimulated by Acetylcholine: A motor neuron releases Acetylcholine which diffuses toward the muscle cell across the neuromuscular junction. As the Acetylcholine binds to a receptor on the muscle cell membrane‚ it signals the sodium leak channel to open. This causes a localized depolarization to occur. Soon after this causes the Na+

Nancy Yedanapalli physio ex Activity 6 1. Explain why the larger waves seen on the oscilloscope represent ventricular contraction. a. The ventricular contraction is of greater force than the atrial contraction‚ since the ventricular contraction functions to send blood throughout the entire body (systemic circulation)‚ where as the contraction of the atrium send blood only to the lungs and rest of the the heart (pulmonary circulation). 2. Explain why the amplitude

are structures called synaptic vesicles and they contain different neurotransmitters. In the case of a motor neuron that stimulates a skeletal muscle fiber‚ that neurotransmitter is called acetylcholine. When the action potential gets down to the end it will cause the synaptic vesicles to release acetylcholine. The ACH crosses the synapse‚ which is a physical gap between the motor neuron and the muscle fiber and binds to ACH receptors. A flowing in of sodium (Na+) and a flowing out of potassium
