Animal science lecture part 2 Flashcards
What is the resting osmotic pressure for an isotonic solution? How do this change from hypertonic to hypertonic?
300mOsm, as this increases in becomes more hypertonic ex.400
What type of transport is voltage-gated channels?
passive transport
carriers
Transport cells across the membrane using “flip-flop” activity
What type of transport is Na/K pump
primary active transport
Can you give an example secondary transport?
ATPase pump required the use of ATP to pump sodium and create a conc graident. Then a sodium carrier will transport sodium and Glucose will catch a ride.
What establishes the cells intra cellular negative charge
The sodium-potassium leak channels and the ATPase pump activity
What does the rate of transport depend on?
The number of carriers in a cell, it reaches saturation when no more carriers are available
Action potential
the inside becomes more positive for a sec AKA depolarization
When do Na+ channels open with the membrane potential vs time graph
at the threshold
What is the peak membrane potential?
30 mv
Why does the membrane hyperpolarize?
because the K channels are still open
Juxtacrine signaling
a ligand on the surface of a cell binds to a receptor on the surface of another cell
Paracine cell signaling
signal is sent to the cell to a near by cell
autocrine cell signaling
cell secretes a hormone for itself
Nurotransmitter
A ligand that is secreted by a neuron or signals to another neuron, involves paracrine signaling
What is it called when a ligand is secreted into the blood
a hormone
neuroendocrine signaling
a neuron secrets a ligand into the blood
