Explain the different of low serum calcium on skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle
Normal calcium Level:
CA⁺needed for in the body for muscle contraction, metabolic process, enzyme reaction like those involved in blood clotting, & structure to bones & teeth.
Low levels of Calcium in the ECF Cells
swell as Ca⁺ rushes in ≤8.5 mg/dl (total) ≤4.0 (Ionized)
Low CA⁺ levels increase the permeability & excitability of the
nerve membranes.
Hypocalcemia or low levels of calcium results in weak contractions, Arrhythmias, and low BP., weak thready pulse.
Hypocalcemia or low levels of calcium results in muscle twitching & hyperactive DTR, laryngospasms.
Chovstek's face & Trousseau's arm, Charley horses, circumoral paresthesias.
Causes hyperactive responses & tetany
Skeletal muscles contain nerves which are irritated by low CA⁺ levels causing them to spasm, muscles also contain stored CA⁺. Cardiac muscle contains no nerves to be irritated. Lack of CA⁺ causes the heart to slow because it cannot contract without it.
Explain the different of low serum calcium on skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle
Answer following questions. (a)How are smooth muscle cells different from skeletal muscle fibers and cardiac muscle cells? (b)How are skeletal and cardiac muscle tissues similar to each other? How do these two types of muscle tissue differ from each other?
Skeletal muscle is striated and under voluntary control. Cardiac muscle is also striated but under involuntary control. Smooth muscle is not striated and is under involuntary control. Explain why we see striations in both skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle but not in smooth muscle. Also explain what it means to be under voluntary or involuntary control.
Classify the following muscle properties as pertaining to cardiac,
skeletal, or smooth muscle.
Question Completion Status: QUESTION 2 Different in smooth muscle compared to skeletal muscle a. Sarcoplasm reticulum is missing b .calcium is not required c. Sarcoplasm reticulum is less developed d. sarcolemma is missing QUESTION 3 Magnesium plays key role in deep tissue contraction, answer true false for this question a. true b. false c.not sure de silly question QUESTION 4 Clear evidence of sarcomere (when looking under microscope) in a. Cardiac muscle smooth muscle skeletal muscled . A and QUESTIONS...
5. Why would you expect LDH5 to predominate in skeletal muscle and LDH1 in cardiac muscle?
If we repeatedly stimulate a myocardial cell, and a skeletal muscle cells every 50 ms, what are the differences of muscle tension between these two types of cells? Explain why contractions in cardiac muscle cells are different to skeletal muscle cells
Question 60 2 out of 2 points The neurotransmitter that produces muscle contraction in skeletal muscle is In cardiac muscle, the calcium required for muscle contraction primarily comes from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Question 712 out of 2 points The three tunics of the eye are
NAME THE TYPE OF MUSCLE TISSUE AND THEN THE STRUCTURES INDICATE Select one: a. SKELETAL MUSCLE, MITOCHONDRIA b. SKELETAL MUSCLE, STRIATIONS c. SMOOTH MUSCLE, NUCLEI d. CARDIAC MUSCLE, INTERCALATED DISKS e. CARDIAC MUSCLE, NUCLEI < PREVIOUS
Compare the rates of muscle contraction and relaxation of skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles. How do they differ? What relationship best describes the differences? Draw a figure to illustrate this. What are the differences mostly due to? (5 pts)
The neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) causes the rapid contraction of skeletal muscle and the slower relaxation of cardiac muscle. Which one of the following is the most likely explanation for this difference? A. ACh activates a GPCR pathway in cardiac muscle and an ion channel coupled receptor in skeletal muscle. B. ACh activates an ion channel coupled receptor in cardiac muscle and a GPCR pathway in cardiac muscle. C. ACh is permeable through the plasma membrane of skeletal muscle cells but...
