1、Electrophysiology of MuscleSkeletal & Cardiac excitation & contraction,Mike Clark, M.D.,NOTE,Prior to reading this PowerPoint presentation students may want to review my PowerPoint presentation General Electrophysiology which explains the Resting Membrane Potential and Action Potentials in general.,

4、 in and the membrane depolarizes no further the up-shoot stops.,The same voltage that operated the sodium gates also is the same voltage to initiate action of the potassium gates however the potassium gates are very slow so they do not open till around the time that the sodium inactivation gate is c

6、g the interior of the neuron to become more negative than at the start (Resting Membrane Potential). This overshoot is termed “hyperpolarization.”,6. The neuron must again return to the Resting Membrane Potential state this is a result of the Sodium /Potassium pump (3 Na out for 2 K in) action and t
7、he large intracellular molecular anions (discussed in the General electrophysiology PowerPoint).,Refractory Periods,Absolute Refractory Period a time in which the same area of the neuron cell membrane cannot be re-excited (fire another action potential). It is time it takes for the sodium gates to f
8、ully reset. Relative Refractory Period a time immediately after the absolute refractory period in which the same area of the neuron cell membrane can be re-excited but requires a higher voltage higher than the usual threshold voltage. During this time the potassium channels are still open thus posit
9、ive potassium is rushing out making the interior of the neuron more negative thus harder to reach the voltage of threshold.,Events in a Skeletal Muscle Action Potential,Unlike neurons the skeletal muscle has only one type voltage dependent sodium gate. When threshold voltage is reached it quickly op
10、ens and sodium rushes in causing the depolarization. The sodium voltage dependent gate later closes and depolarization stops.The same voltage (Threshold voltage) that causes the opening of the Na gates is the same Voltage that opens the potassium gatesbut they are slower - opening aboutthe same time
11、 that the Na gates areClosing K rushes out causing RepolarizationNa/K pump and larger molecular anions Return membrane to Resting State (RMP),Excitation- Contraction Coupling,Neurons can illicit conductivity (sometimes referred to as excitation)This conductivity is in the form of action potentialsMu
12、scle can illicit the charge activity of conductivity as well as the mechanical activity of contractilityThe charge movement of conductivity (action potentials) leads to the mechanical contraction thus the excitation must be coupled to the contractionSince charge activity is faster than mechanical ac
13、tivity the action potentials initiate first followed fairly quickly by the initiation of the mechanical activity of contraction.,Latent Phase of Contraction,The differential in time between when the action potentials initiate and the contraction initiates is termed the latent phase of muscle contrac
14、tion,Action potential initiated,Latent Phase,The latent phase involves all the events after the action potential till the myosin drags the actin over it (sliding filament) thus causing the initiation of the muscle contraction,Actual Contraction (skeletal muscle),Though the actionpotential only lasts
15、1 to 3 millisecondsthe skeletalmuscle contractionlasts over 100 ms,A contraction as a result of one action potential is termed a muscle twitch. A muscle twitch has 3 periods latent, contraction and relaxation.,100 milliseconds is 1/10 of a second,100 milliseconds (1/10th of a second) is not a long t
16、ime at all we could not do anything muscle wise in that time frame thus we must add (summate) together these isolated contractions (muscle twitch) to make a longer useful contraction. The adding together of muscle twitches is termed “tetany.”Tetany occurs by delivering to the muscle cell- a rapid co
17、ntinuous set of action potentials. The action potentials can occur fast but how close together they can occur is limited by the action potentials “absolute refractory period.”,Tetany,Action potentials being delivered in rapid succession thus maintaining a sustained skeletal muscle contraction.,The e
18、vents causing heart muscle contraction differ slightly from those of skeletal muscle,Cardiac muscle just as skeletal muscle- require calcium to allow actin to bind to myosin which is the main component of the sliding filament model of muscle contraction.All the calcium required for skeletal muscle c
19、ontraction is located on the inside of the skeletal muscle cell in the sarcoplasmic reticulum however cardiac muscle requires some calcium to enter from outside of the muscle cell. in cardiac muscle some (10 -20%) extracellular calcium is required for contraction. This calcium enters through voltage
20、 dependent calcium channels known as L channels or sometimes referred to as slow calcium channels. release In fact the 10 -20% of calcium coming from the outside of the cell not only goes to troponin C to assist directly with contraction but it also assists in the opening of the calcium release chan
21、nels in the cardiac muscle cell sarcoplasmic reticulum for the other 80 90% to be released.,Cell Membrane Calcium Channels,In cardiac muscle cells some (10 -20%) of extracellular calcium is required for contraction. This calcium enters through voltage dependent calcium channels known as L (Long last
22、ing) channels or sometimes referred to as slow calcium channels. The 10 -20% of calcium coming from the outside of the cell not only goes to troponin C to assist directly with cardiac muscle contraction but it also assists in the opening of the calcium release channels in the cardiac muscle cell sar
23、coplasmic reticulum for the other 80 90% to be released.,This influx of calcium from the outside of the cell occurs during the cardiac muscle action potential part of the mechanism of the action potential especially in the plateau phase. Thus even though the calcium enters as part of the action pote
24、ntial mechanismit is also important for the contraction action. The entering calcium is important for excitation and contraction.Since (1) the amount of calcium available to troponin C is important to the strength of contraction in both skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle and (2) some of the calcium
25、for cardiac muscle contraction must come from the extracellular fluid the blood (extracellular fluid) calcium level is more important to cardiac muscle than skeletal muscle. Since cardiac muscle has functional L calcium channels and skeletal muscle cells do not a calcium channel blocker drug will af
26、fect cardiac muscle and not skeletal muscle (example Verapamil) . The medication will decrease the force of contractility (inotropic effect).,Cardiac Muscle,Skeletal Muscle,The Heart Action Potentials,The heart has two types of action potentials one type that is the heart muscle action potential,and
27、 another type that is the pacemaker (SA node, AV node, etc. ) action potential,NO TETANY,The heart muscle should never go into tetany. A heart muscle cell should do one muscle twitch then relax for a while before it embarks on another twitch.A heart chamber only fills with blood when it is relaxed (
28、diastole) thus tetany would cause a heart chamber to have a sustained contraction- not relax and be unable to fill with blood. If the heart chamber cannot fill it has no blood to empty into the next chamber or into the next blood vessels.If heart muscle goes into tetany that is what is called cardia
29、c flutter and fibrillation. Fibrillation can lead to death.,Prevention of Cardiac muscle tetany,Since one initiated action potential can cause one muscle contraction (muscle twitch) and a rapid succession of action potentials on a muscle cell can cause tetany then make the action potentials get furt
30、her apart so they cannot summate as easily. How can this be done?Prolong the absolute refractory period.,Prolonged absoluteRefractory period.,The plateau phase of the cardiac muscle action potential provides a longer absolute refractory period thus disallowing cardiac muscle action potentials from c
31、oming to close together thus disallowing cardiac muscle tetany.,In addition to the fact that the cardiac muscle action potentials cannot come to close together there is another fact of interest the absolute refractory period lasts over 200 msec which is almost the entire time of one cardiac muscle t
32、witch (one contraction). Thus by the time the action potential is fully over so is the muscle contraction thus no tetany.,The red graphis the contractioncurve and the blue is the actionpotential curve,Events in the Cardiac Muscle Action Potentials,Events in the Cardiac Muscle Action Potential,Phase
33、0,Phase 0 is the rapid depolarization phase. The slope of phase 0 represents the maximum rate of depolarization of the cell. This phase is due to the opening of the fast Na+ channels causing a rapid increase in the membrane conductance to Na+ (GNa) and thus a rapid influx of Na+ ions (INa) into the
34、cell; a Na+ current.The ability of the cell to open the fast Na+ channels during phase 0 is related to the membrane potential at the moment of excitation. If the membrane potential is at its baseline (about -85 mV), all the fast Na+ channels are closed, and excitation will open them all, causing a l
35、arge influx of Na+ ions. If, however, the membrane potential is less negative, some of the fast Na+ channels will be in an inactivated state insensitive to opening, thus causing a lesser response to excitation of the cell membrane and a lower Vmax. For this reason, if the resting membrane potential
36、becomes too positive, the cell may not be excitable, and conduction through the heart may be delayed, increasing the risk for arrhythmias.,Phase 1,Phase 1 of the action potential occurs with the sudden inactivation of the fast Na+ channels. The small transient down-shoot (more negative) is due to th
37、e movement of K+ and Cl- ions. K+ is moving out and Cl- is moving into the cell making the interior temporarily more negative. Both ions are directionally moving in accordance with their respective electrochemical gradients. They are moving through their respective passive leak channels.,Phase 2 the
38、 plateau phaseThe basis of the prolonged absolute refractory period!,As the voltage of the cardiac muscle cell changes it causes the slower later opening of L- Calcium channels and also the opening of some special slow delayed rectifier potassium channels (not the usual passive leak potassium channe
39、ls or the usual voltage dependent potassium channels seen in neurons and skeletal muscle cells). This plateau phase of the cardiac action potential is sustained by a balance between inward movement of Ca2+ through L-type calcium channels and outward movement of K+ through the slow delayed rectifier
40、potassium channels.,Phase 3,During phase 3 (the rapid repolarization phase) of the action potential, the L-type Ca2+ channels close, while the slow delayed rectifier K+ channels remain open. This ensures a net outward current, corresponding to negative change in membrane potential, thus allowing mor
41、e types of K+ channels to open. These are primarily the rapid delayed rectifier K+ channels. This net outward, positive current (equal to loss of positive charge from the cell) causes the cell to repolarize. The delayed rectifier K+ channels close when the membrane potential is restored to about -80
42、 to -85 mV. The Na/K pump helps restore the RMP Phase 4.,Phase 4 is the usual Resting Membrane Potential,Cardiac Pacemaker Action Potential,Pacemaker cells,The pacemaker cells have automatic rhythm they spontaneously in and of themselves can fire action potentials.Each pacemaker structure has a diff
43、erent automatic firing rate.SA node 60 80 natural pacemaker of the heart because it has the fastest firing frequency AV node 40 60 spontaneous action potentials per minuteBundle of HIS 20 40 action potentials per minuteBundle Branches 10 20 action potentials per minuteIt is the pacemaker cells that
44、cause the adjacent cardiac muscle cells to reach threshold voltage thus initiating the cardiac muscle cell action potential,Events of the Pacemaker Action Potential,The rate at which the pacemaker potential reaches threshold is the key to understanding the differences in the rate of firing of the di
45、fferent pacemakers.,Putting it all Together,Threshold,Subthreshold stimulusweak local depolarization that does not reach thresholdThreshold stimulusstrong enough to push the membrane potential toward and beyond threshold AP is an all-or-none phenomenonaction potentials either happen completely, or not at all,
