Cell Physio Flashcards
Located in the epithelium for tight intercellular adhesion
Macula adherens
Desmosomes
Increases surface area for contact
Zonula adherens
Divides cell into apical and basolateral side
Zonula occludens
Tight junction
For intercellular communication
Gap junctions
Structure in between cell membranes that are found in cardiac and unitary smooth muscle
Gap junctions
Functional unit of gap junctions
Connexon
Subunit of gap junctions
Connexin
The low resistance pathways between myocardial cells thay allow for the spread of action potentials are:
Gap junctions
Examples of non carrier mediated transport
Simple diffusion
Endocytosis
Exocytosis
What are the carrier mediated transports?
Osmosis
Facilitated Diffusion
Primary Active Transport
Secondary Active Transport
Transport mechanisms that are passive and downhill
Simple and facilitated diffusion
This transport is used by hormones and neurotransmitters
Exocytosis
Transport used by lipid hormones
Simple diffusion
Transport mechanisms that are active and uphill
Primary and Secondary Active Transport
Transport mechanism:
GLUT transporters
Facilitated diffusion
Transport mechanisms:
Ca-ATPase pump
Primary active
Transport mechanisms:
SGLT
Secondary active
Transport mechanisms:
Na-Ca exchange
Secondary active
Two substances have the same chemical composition but with a different shape
Stereospecificity
The number of carriers are finite. Once all are filled up, rate of transport becomes constant
Saturation
Different solutes may compete for the same carrier
Competition
Where is GLUT 1 found?
BBB
Where’s GLUT 2 at?
Liver
Pancreas
Basement membrane of SI
Where is GLUT 3 found?
Neurons
GLUT 4?
Muscles, Adipose tissue
GLUT 5?
Fructose transport from SI lumen
This contributes to basal metabolic rate
Na K ATPase pump
Inhibited by Digoxin
Na K ATPase pump
What type of transport? SERCA
Primary active
What type of transport? Proton pump
Primary active
Osmotic pressure is computed using:
Van Hoff’s Law
Reflection coefficient of UREA
Zero
Reflection coefficient of ALBUMIN:
One (1)
