Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.

Bonus Clinical Question:

Gary was injured in an automobile accident that severed the motor neurons innervating his quadriceps. Even though he has had extensive physical therapy, he is still suffering muscle atrophy. Why is the therapy not working?

In denervation (disuse) atrophy, fibrous connective tissue replaces the muscle tissue that was lost. When atrophy is complete, fibrous tissue cannot be reversed to muscle tissue.

In Duchenne muscular dystrophy, the muscle enlarges due to fat and connective tissue, but the muscle fibers atrophy and degenerate irreversibly.

In sarcopenia, there is a gradual loss of muscle mass as muscle proteins degrade faster than they can be replaced.

In myasthenia gravis, fibrous connective tissue replaces the muscle tissue that was lost. When atrophy is complete, fibrous tissue cannot be reversed to muscle tissue.

In myotonic dystrophy, there is a gradual loss of muscle mass as muscle proteins degrade faster than they can be replaced.

Acetylcholine diffuses away from the cleft.

Acetylcholine is transported into the postsynaptic neuron by receptor-mediated endocytosis.

Acetylcholine binds to its receptor in the junctional folds of the sarcolemma. Its receptor is linked to a G protein.

Acetylcholine is released and moves across the synaptic cleft bound to a transport protein.

When the action potential reaches the end of the axon terminal, voltage-gated sodium channels open and sodium ions diffuse into the terminal.
