AP - Final Flashcards
(46 cards)
How and why stuff moves is called?
Gradients: assuming free movement of materials (or electricity) materials will move from high to low
What is Diffusion?
Stuff moving down its gradient (free movement must be possible)
What is Osmosis?
Diffusion of water molecules from where they are more concentrated to less concentrated (down their gradient)
What are two gradients of concern?
Water balance (via osmosis) between interstitial fluid and intracellular fluid Water balance (via osmosis) between interstitial fluid and plasma
What drives water movement in and out of a cell?
The concentration of particles inside the cell compared to the concentration of particles in the extra cellular fluid outside the cell drives water movement
What happens if the concentrations in/out of cell are equal?
Water is in equilibrium and essentially it doesn’t flow in either direction
What happens if there are more particles outside of cell?
water flows out
What happens if there are less particles inside of cell?
Water flows in
What is the pH of blood?
7.4 is normal (slightly alkaline)
What do Osteocytes do?
Pump soluble Ca into blood
What do Osteoclasts do?
Produces acid to break down hydroxy apatite into soluble ions
What do Osteoblasts do?
Produce Hydroxy apatite (to build bone)
What does an Osteoprogenitor do?
Under goes mitosis and becomes a osteoblast
Actin, tropinin and tropomyosin are all what type of filament?
Thin
Myosin is what type of filament?
Thick
Thin and thick filaments are composed of proteins. What helps hold thin and thick filaments in place?
Elastic filaments
All of these myofilaments interact with one another to produce a?
Muscle contraction
What are two potential limits on muscle contraction?
Availability of calcium and availability of ATP
What is ATP?
Adenosine triphosphate
FOG stands for what muscle fiber type?
Fast oxidative glycolytic: Type IIA or intermediate fibers, contains characteristics of both SO and FG, most trainable type of muscle
What is ATP production?
Adding a free inorganic phosphate group (P) to an ADP (adenosine diphosphate)
What do we do with the extra (P) in the ADP?
We “use” the ATP, breaking the phosphate off and using the energy released from the chemical bond.
What happens in Anaerobic?
Only glucose, for every 1 glucose=2 ATP, by product of acid is H, limited (only uses carbs, H inhibits process), process of glycolysis, only in cytoplasm, fast.
What happens in Aerobic?
1 glucose= 36 ATP, by product is C02, involve mitochondria, glucose or lipids, slower, limitless, uses oxygen in mitochondria, C6H12O6
