Ch 3 Cytology Flashcards
Cell types
Epithelial Fibroblasts Eythrocytes Skeletal muscle Smooth muscle Fat cell Macrophage Nerce cell Gamete
Phospholipids
Polar head: hydrophilic
Nonpolar tail: hydrophobic
Cholesterol
20% of cell membrane, stablizes membranes by decreasing mobility of phospholipids.
Membrane proteins
Integral protein: firmly incerted into lipid bilayer
Peripheral Proteins: Not imbeded in bilayer.Attach loosly to inegral proteins.
Cell Junctions
Tight Junctions
Desmosomes
Gap Junctions
Passive transport
Does not use ATP:
Difussion
Osmosis
Active transport
Uses ATP:
PRIMARY
SECONDARY
Vesicular transport
Endocytosis: Phagocytosis, pinocytosis and recepter mediated endocytosis
Exocytosis: Ejecting from cell
Membrane Potential
Diffudion causes ionic imballances that polarize the membrane. Active transport maintain membrane potential. Voltage
Membrane receptors
Contact signaling: Cells touch
Chemical signaling:receptors involved called Ligands. Neurotransmitters.
G Protein receptors: Middleman or relay to activate
Non-menbrane organells
Cytoskeleton, centrioles and ribosomes
Menbranous organells
peroxisomes,lysosomes, ER, Golgi apparatus
Mitochondria
Power plants, provide ATP supply, has its own DNA
Ribosomes
Sites for protein synthesis
Rough ER
Stubbed with Ribosomes, proteins thread their way into the ER cisterns
Smooth ER
Enzymess catylise these reactions: Metabolize lipids Synthesis steroid based hormones Absorb synthesize and transport fat Detoxify drugs Break down stored glycogen
Golgi Apparatus
Traffic director. Takes proteins and lipids from ER to modify, package and concentrate them for export
Peroxisomes
Contain powerful enzymes to (oxidase and catalase) to detoxify harmful sustances and nuetralize harmful free radicles
Lysosomes
Large phagocytes that contain digestive enzymes to dispose of invading bacteria and waste
Cilia
Move substances accross cell surface (whiplike eyelashes)
Flagella
For perpullsion, found only in sperm
Microvilli
Little shaggy hairs, increase surface area
Protein synthesis
Transcription
RNA Processing
Translation
