Anderson Intro 2 Flashcards
cell membrane
phospholipid bilayer
example of stuff that crosses cell membrane
gasses/steroids
example of stuff that doesn’t cross cell membrane
Na+/Cl-/glucose/H2O
integral proteins
span entire cell membrane
peripheral proteins
only span one side of cell membrane (either internal or external)
Na+/K+ transporter (what goes in/out of cell? energy use?)
3 Na+ out for every 2 K+ in
uses ATP to pump against gradient
which transporter uses ATP (passive, facilitates or active?)
active
which transporter (passive, facilitated, or active) is substrate specific?
facilitated
active
types of endocytosis and description of each
pinocytosis - small stuff into cell
phagocytosis- large stuff into cell
getting stuff out of cells is called?
exocytosis
define osmolarity and provide equation
how thick solution is
Osmolarity = g X C
g= particles in solution; C= concentration
how does water move?
water moves to hyperosmotic solution
what is inside a cell (ICF)
lots of K+ and Mg
what is outside of a cell (ECF)
lots of Na+ and Ca, Cl- too
what starts the AP (action potential)? what is this process called?
- Na+ conductance (open the Na+ channels) and sodium floods into cell (remember sodium is in high conc. extracellularly, so given the chance it wants to go inside the cell down it’s conc. gradient)
- depolarization (cell interior becomes less neg)
what accounts for the hyperpolarization?
K+ conductance (open the K+ channels) just after Na+ channels open, and we get mass exodus of K+ (K+ going down it’s conc. gradient). K+ channels stay open slightly longer than Na+, resulting in hyperpolarization
what’s the basis for sympathetic activity?
adrenergic receptors (Epi/NE)
action of alpha-1 receptor?
go to tubular system (vascular, GI systems)
vascular effect= excitatory (vasoconstriction)
GI= inhibitory (shuts down digestion)
action of alpha-2 receptor?
shut down CNS (brain, spinal cord)
protective mechanism in response to flood of Epi/NE
action of beta-1 receptor?
targets the heart, to pump harder and faster
