Cells Flashcards
What is part of the dorsal body cavity
nervous system
Cranial + vertebral cavity
What is part of the ventral body cavity
internal organs
Abdominal, thoracic, pelvic cavity
What does parietal serosa cover
lines cavity walls (outer)
What does visceral serosa cover
covers organs (inner)
What cavities are not exposed to environment
Synovial cavities
Which phospholipids are on the INNER plasma membrane
PI, PE, PS
Which phospholipid is on the OUTER plasma membrane
PC
where can glycolipids be found
only on outer memrbane
Which phospholipids do flippases concentrate
inner
PE, PS
which phospholipids do scramblases concentrate
outer
PC & sphingolipid
What are the 6 functions of membrane proteins
transport
enzymatic activity
Receptors for signal transduction
Intracellular adhesion
Cell-cell adhesion
Attachment to cytoskeleton and EC matrix
What do ANCHORING junctions (desmosomes) do? what provides strength between the cells?
What helps the junctions inside the cell?
- mediate cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesions
- linked to cytoskeleton to transmit and distribute stress (skin & heart muscle)
- cadherins
- tonofilaments, adhesion plaque
- intermediate filaments
What do occluding junctions (tight) do? What helps the tight junctions stay in place?
- impermeable junction to form seals between epithelial cells (eg. intestinal wall for bacteria)
- Actin filaments
What do gap junctions do? is it hydrophobic/hydrophillic
allow diffusion of small molecules (ATP)
and for cell-cell communication
- hydrophilic channel
What is signal-relaying junction
transmit signals ex. synapses
What is passive transport? which type of diffusions are associated
Transport from high to low conc. with no energy
-simple diffusion
- facilitated diffusion
- carrier-mediated
- Channel-mediated
- Osmosis
