    Fluid Mosaic Model

    Phospholipid bilayerwith proteins and cholesterol embeddedwithin bilayer.

    Cholesterol makes bilayerstiffer or more viscous!!

    Membrane composition depends on function (ie. More lipid in

    Schwann cells and more protein in mitochondria).

    Intrinsic/Integral vs. Extrinisic/Peripheral Proteins

    Intrinsicproteins span the entire membrane and contain

    hydrophillic ends and a hydrophobic core, often serving as

    transporters. Extrinsicproteins are present on one side of the bilayer or the

    other and are anchored by electrostatic interactions.

    Glycolipidscan be conjugated with either an intrinsic or extrinsic

    protein and serve as a surface marker for the cell.

    Transport

    1) Simple Diffusion

    - small, nonpolar > large, polar

    2) Osmosis

    - water follows solute

    3) Facilitated Diffusion

    - notenergy dependent transport of solute down itsconcentration gradient

    4)Active Transport

    - energy dependent transport of solute against itsconcentration gradient

    Note: All transport mechanisms exhibit saturation kinetics,chemical specificity and competitive inhibition. Whenthe [substrate] increases, the transportation rateincreases until transport mechanism becomessaturated.

    Diffusion

    Diffusionis driven by concentrationgradients.

    Ficks 1st Law of Diffusion: Use to calculate Rate of Diffusion Note: C = C1-C2where C1= target compartment

    Stokes-Einstein Equation: Use to calculate Diffusion Coefficient

    Partition Coefficient() Expresses relative Lipid Solubility

    Which factors allow fast

    diffusion?1. Lipid solubility ()- the morelipid soluble, the

    faster the diffusion.

    2. C- the greaterthe change in concentration,

    the faster the diffusion.3. Membrane thickness- the thinnerthe

    membrane, the faster the diffusion.

    4. Viscosity of membrane- the lessviscous the

    membrane, the faster the diffusion.5. Radius of molecule- the smallerthe radius of

    the molecule, the faster the diffusion.

    Osmosis

    Vant Hoffs Law: =RT(iC)o Use to calculate osmotic pressure

    o = pressurerequired to oppose the movement ofwater from an area of high [H2O] (low osmolarity)to an area of low [H2O] (high osmolarity).

    Osmotic Flow Rateo Vw=Lo Use to calculate the osmotic flow rate of water

    when the membrane is permeable to both water

    and solute.o = reflection coefficient(0-1) - a high reflection

    coefficient reflects a solute that does NOTpermeate the membrane well.

    Hypertonic vs. Hypotonic

    Solutions Hypotonicsolutions have a lowerosmolarity

    than cellular osmolarity (0.3 osm) and thus the

    cell will swell when placed in a hypotonic

    solution. Cell will swell in hypOtonic solution

    Hypertonicsolutions have a higherosmolarity

    than cellular osmolarity and thus the cell will

    shrink when placed in a hypertonic solution.

    Active Transport

    Againstconcentration gradient Requires Energy (ATP)

    Primary Active Transport Transporter directlybreaks down an energy

    molecules (mostlyATPNa+/K+pump)

    Secondary Active Transport Transporter is indirectlydependent on energy

    expenditure from another transporter

    ex. Na/glucose co-transporter fueled by Na+/K+pump

    NOTE: Na+/K+pump = PumpKin(Pump K+in)

    Action Potentials (APs)

    APsare the result of timeand voltagedependent changes in ionic permeabilityofexcitable cells (i.e. neurons).

    Na+

    and K+

    channelsthat generateAPsare onlyfound at the axon hillock. Any otherdepolarization in a neuron is called a receptorpotential.

    APsare ALL-OR-NOTHINGevents. A strongerstimulus only increases the frequencyof firing.

    Phases of Action

    Potentials1. Slow depolarizationto

    threshold

    2. Rapid depolarizationdueto opening of voltagedependent Na+channelsleading to Na+influx(Hodgkin Cycle!)

    3. Repolarizationdue toincreased K+

    conductance leading toK+efflux

    4. Hyperpolarization(refractory period)

    5. Resting membranepotential

    Refractory Periods

    AbsoluteRefractory Period- due to time

    dependence of Na+channel

    Noamount of inward current will generate another AP

    Due to the Na+inactivationgate which is slow to closewhen triggered at threshold

    RelativeRefractory Period

    Need an excess of currentto generate an APbecause the Na+ channels are still inactivated until

    the end of repolarization phase

    Synaptic Transmission

    Presynaptic Membrane:

    APCa+2channelsopening Ca+2 influx synaptic vesicle fusion release of NTs

    Post-synaptic membrane:

    Neurotransmitter binds to

    postsynaptic neuron or

    muscle leading to

    increased conductance

    of Na+ and K+ causing agenerator or action

    potential.

    Response of Post-Synaptic Cell

    Responsemay be inhibitory or excitatory depending on thenature of postsynaptic cell (NOTNeurotransmitter!!)

    Temporal or Spatial Summation

    Temporal- multiple signals from 1 axon firing in rapid

    succession such that successive inputs add to the still-

    existent present inputs. Spatial- multiple signals from different axons occurring

    simultaneously.

    Repetitive Stimulations

    Facilitation- successive APs cause postsynaptic membrane

    potential to grow more and more intense in amplification

    Post-tetanic Potentiation- after repetitive firing, Ca+2

    channels are synchronized resulting in a more amplified

    EPSP following tetanus

    Synaptic Fatigue- delay in response after synapse following

    prolonged tetanus (NTs have to be re-packaged)

    Length Tension

    62/106

    LengthTension

    Relationship Generation of tension in a muscle depends on its initial

    length

    Maximal tensioncan be developed at a sarcomeresoptimal length, usually its resting length

    At the optimal length, a maximum number of cross-

    bridge sites are accessible to the actin molecules forbinding and bending

    When a muscle is passively stretched, the thin filamentsare pulled out and there are less actin sites available forcross-bridge binding, decreasing tension

    When a muscle is shorter than its optimal length, tensiondecreases because the thin filaments overlap and thethick filaments become forced against the Z-lines

    Length vs. Tension

    Length vs. Tension

  • 8/13/2019 Physio Nerve Muscle 2006

    67/106

    Summation

    Muscle force can be modulated by the frequencyof stimulation

    Depends on active state and refractory period

    Skeletal muscle exhibits a long active state anda short refractory period

    Allows a second action potential long before theinitial twitch response is complete

    Subsequent twitches build upon the one before,ultimately achieving a tetanus state

  • 8/13/2019 Physio Nerve Muscle 2006

    68/106

    Summation of Twitches

    The force of muscle contraction can be increased by increasing the frequency

    of nerve stimulation. The key is the difference in the time course for the

    action potential, calcium transient, and mechanical response.

    Muscle Architecture

    Force production and velocity of shortening of the whole muscle depends

    on the architecture. It is important to remember that force is proportional

    to myofiber number, while velocity is proportional to myofiber length.

    Therefore, strap-like muscles provide the greatest velocity of shortening,

    while pennate muscles can generate more force.

  • 8/13/2019 Physio Nerve Muscle 2006

    Leverage

    Because muscles operate across joints, theforce applied to move an object depends on theleverage factor

    LF = Leverage arm / Distance from joint

    The farther away from the joint a muscle isinserted, the smaller the leverage factor and theeasier it is to move an object (example: doorhinge)

    The closer a muscle is inserted to the joint, thelarger the leverage factor (mechanicaldisadvantage), but the more maneuverable theobject is

    The following data are given for a skeletal muscle fiber:

    Length of thin filament: 0 8um

  • 8/13/2019 Physio Nerve Muscle 2006

    102/106

    a) 1.20 um

    b) 1.60 um

    c) 1.76 um

    d) 2.08 um

    e) Cannot be determined from above data.

    Length of thin filament: 0.8um

    Length of H-zone: 0.4um

    The muscle is stimulated under isotonic conditions and

    it shortens 20%. What is the approximate length of the

    sarcomere in the contracted muscle according to the

    sliding filament theory?

    QuickTime and a

    TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressorare needed to see this picture.

    H-zone = 0.4 um

    Thin Filaments = 0.8 um

  • 8/13/2019 Physio Nerve Muscle 2006

    104/106

    0.8 + 0.8 + 0.4 = 2.0 um

    2.0 x 80% = 1.6 um
