It's like pulling teeth a case study in physiology

“It’s Like Pulling Teeth” by Phil Stephens Page 1


It’s Like Pulling Teeth: A Case Study in Physiology Phil Stephens Biology Department Villanova University, Villanova, PA


Part I—The Hospital At last the day had come. Mr. Th ompson was having his wisdom teeth removed. He was tired of the aches and pains and the sight of his puff y face in the mirror every morning. He felt helpless, lying on the gurney watching the ceiling lights whiz by as he was being wheeled to surgery.


Mr. Th ompson had selected this particular oral surgeon because of the sign outside his practice that read: “We cater to cowards.” But the surgeon still hadn’t seemed to understand Mr. Th ompson’s fear of dental procedures; he had wanted to use a local anesthetic. Fortunately, the anesthesiologist was sympathetic to his request for a general anesthetic.


As the mask came over Mr. Th ompson’s face, he felt so alone. It reminded him of how he felt as a boy, in the orphanage. Th en the halothane started to take eff ect and he went under.


As surgery was about to begin, Mr. Th ompson started twitching. Th e anesthesiologist saw Mr. Th ompson’s heart rate increase, his muscle contractions become strong and widespread throughout his body, and the patient began to sweat profusely. As Mr. Th ompson’s temperature quickly increased, the anesthesiologist injected a solution into the IV drip. Th en Mr. Th ompson went limp and all that could be heard was the sound of oxygen rushing through the ventilator, assisting Mr. Th ompson’s breathing.


“Next time we do as I say and we use a local,” muttered the angry surgeon as he glared at Mr. Th ompson.


Questions 1. How is heat generated in the body? 2. In this case, where halothane-induced heat production quickly elevated Mr. Th ompson’s body


temperature, where do you think most of the heat is generated? 3. What chemical reaction is responsible for generating the huge amount of heat? 4. Which processes use ATP as an energy source in skeletal muscle?

Part II—The Motor Neuron Halothane clearly had an eff ect on Mr. Th ompson’s voluntary motor system. During this case study you will determine the location of this eff ect by looking at the normal function of motor nerves, chemical synapses, and the muscles. You will determine how halothane could act to produce strong and prolonged muscle contractions.


Complete the following fl ow diagram by fi lling in the blanks:


Discuss each of the four stages to see whether halothane could alter motor neuron function to produce strong muscle contractions.


An action potential enters the presynaptic terminal


Voltage-gated channels open and _______ & ______ ions enter the presynaptic terminal


_______ ions cause __________ __________ to fuse with the presynaptic membrane


__________________ is liberated into the synaptic cleft


“It’s Like Pulling Teeth” by Phil Stephens Page 3


Part III—The Chemical Synapse Halothane does not change motor neuron function; perhaps it aff ected the neuromuscular junction. Complete the following fl ow diagram by fi lling in the blanks:


Discuss each of the above six stages to see whether halothane could alter synaptic function and cause a single action potential in a motor axon to produce strong and prolonged contractions of the muscle fi bers it supplies.


____________ is secreted into the cleft


by the motor axon


Th e neurotransmitter reacts with _________ on the muscle


membrane


Channels open and the muscle membrane ___________


Th e neurotransmitter is broken down by __________ _________ in the


synaptic cleft


______ is taken up into the presynaptic cell


Th is produces an ______ _______ in the muscle


membrane

Part IV—The Muscle Halothane does not change the synaptic function; perhaps it aff ected the muscles. Complete the fl ow diagram below by fi lling in the blanks:


Acetylcholine binding opens the channels and the muscle membrane becomes ___________


Th is creates an action potential, which travels along the _______ ________


Th e action potential travels down the __________ _______ and stimulates voltage-sensitive ___ ________


Calcium ions are released into the sarcoplasm from the ___________ _________


Calcium binds to _______


____________ moves to expose the myosin binding sites on actin


Cross bridge cycling causes the sarcomeres to ______


Calcium is taken up into the __________ ________ to terminate the contraction


Discuss each of the eight stages to see whether halothane could alter muscle function so that a single action potential produces a strong and prolonged muscle contraction.

Part V—Hypothesis Look again at the three fl ow diagrams. Within your group decide which step (or steps) are the mostly likely to be aff ected by halothane. Construct a hypothesis within your group and state how the antidote works.
