A&P 2 Flashcards
movement of charge
current
difference in charge between two locaton
voltage
chemicals produced when cyclooxgenase enzymes are activated
prostaglandins
enzyme liberates arachidonic acid from membrane phospholipid
phospholipase A2
what protein does calcium bind to in order to activate a specific protein kinase
calmodulin
organs of CNS
brain, spinal cord
two organ systems that are involved in coordinating the functions of cells to maintain homeostasis
endocrine and nervous
2 sources for calcium that can enter the cytosol of cells
smooth ER, extracellular fluid
3 components of a synapse
presynaptic terminal, synaptic cleft, postsynaptic density
3 types of synapses based on location of synapse on postsynaptic cell
axosomatic, axodendritic, axo-axonic
how does conc of 1st messenger at a receptor decrease over time
broken down by enzymes in synapse
diffuses away
receptor-mediated endocytosis by postsynaptic cell
how does phosphorylation of receptors reduce the activity of the signal transduction pathway
decrease affinity of receptor for G-protein and 1st messenger
glial cell types
oligodendrocyte, astrocyte, microglia, ependymal cells, Schwann cells
oligodendrocyte
CNS forms myelin
astroocyte
regulate concs of NT, ions, nutrients in extracellular fluid of brain (CSF)
helps form blood-brain barrier
microglia
CNS immune-like cells
ependymal cells
regulate production and flow of CSF
Schwann cells
PNS forms myelinated axons
Gs flow chart
1st messenger binds to GPCR
conf change in GPCR
conf change in alpha-sub of G-protein
alpha-sub loses affinity for GDP
GDP dissociates from alpha-sub
conf change in alpha-sub
alpha-sub loses affinity for beta/gamma sub and GPCR
dissociates
alpha-sub binds to AC
conf change in AC
activates AC
AC converts ATP to cAMP
increase cAMP in cytosol
cAMP binds to PKA
conf change in PKA
activates PKA
PKA phosphorylates proteins
Gi flow chart
1st messenger binds to GPCR
conf change in GPCR
conf change in alpha-sub of G-protein
alpha-sub loses affinity for GDP
GDP dissociates from alpha-sub
conf change in alpha-sub
alpha-sub loses affinity for beta/gamma sub and GPCR
dissociates
alpha-sub binds to AC
conf change in AC
inactivates AC
AC doesn’t convert ATP to cAMP
decrease cAMP in cytosol
cAMP doesn’t binds to PKA
doesn’t activates PKA
PKA doesn’t phosphorylates proteins
Pathway phospholipase A2
membrane phospholipids uses phospholipase A2 to free arachidonic acid
—–>cyclic endoperoxides —–> prostaglandins and thromboxanes
cyclooxygenase pathway
——>leukotrienes
lipoxygenase pathway
peripheral NS
peripheral nerve
cell body
nucleus, ER, organelles
dendrites
receiving chem signals from other cells
axon
collaterals, long process that carries info away from neuron’s cell body
initial segment
cell body->axon section
hellock “trigger zone”- action potentials initiated
dendritic spines
increase surface area for neuron to receive signals from other neurons
myelin
brings to action potential
axon terminals
release NT
kinesins
anterograde transport, same direction as action potential
Cell body->terminal
forward rxn
dynesins
retrograde transport, opp direction as action potential
terminal->cell body
reverse rxn
special transport proteins use ATP to transport protein from cell body->axon terminals
kinesins and dyeins
afferent neuron
PNS to CNS
sensory receptor to cell body
efferent neuron
CNS to PNS
cell body to muscle, gland, neuron
interneurons
many
projections within nucleus, carries out integrative functions
ganglion
group of neuronal cell bodies outside CNS
nucleus
group of neuronal cell bodies inside CNS
nerve
group of axons outside CNS
tract
group of axons inside CNS
axon terminals
form a synapse with another cell
axosomatic synapse
synapse onto cell body
axodendritic synapse
synapse onto dendrite
ax-axonic synapse
synapse onto axon terminal
glial cells
provide physical and metabolic support to neurons
second messengers
IP3, alpha subunits of G proteins, DAG
Gs and Gi protein-coupled receptors would not both be present in the same cell.
False
Neurons usually use _______________ for intracellular communication, and _______________ for intercellular communication.
electrical signals, chemical signals
The excess negative change in cells is
only along the membrane
What proteins are involved in anterograde transport in axons?
kinesins
A solution containing 200 mM of a permeable solute and 300 mM of a non-permeable solute would be
