Neurotransmitters and Receptors — Flashcards

Which nerve fibres are the most susceptible to pressure?_____

Which nerve fiber afferents innervates all three muscle spindle fibres (dynamic nuclear bag, static nuclear bag, and nuclear chain fibers)?_____

Intracellular and extracellular _____ concentrations are the major determinants of the RMP.

The first step of muscle contraction occurs when the _____ neuron depolarizes, opens Ca2+ channels and ACh is released into the motor end plate.

Sympathetic stimulation (norepinephrine) of a smooth muscle produces _____ potentials and relaxation.

Mutations affecting the _____ channel CLC1 cause myotonia congenita

Chemical Events during Muscle Contraction: No answer _____

Fast twitch muscle fibers are _____ due to decreased myoglobin concentration

Hint: (color)

_____ is absent in smooth muscle but present in skeletal muscle

Hint: Micro-component

Slow twitch muscle fibers are _____ due to increased myoglobin concentration
