Chapter 5 - Apical, Lateral, Basal Domains Flashcards
What does the apical domain face?
Free space
What are the 5 modifications you can have on the apical domain?
- Enzymes (ex GI tract)
- Ion Channels (signaling)
- Carrier Protiens (nutrients in, waste out)
- Structural (microvilli, steriocilia, cilia)
- Receptors (monitor environment)
What is the function of microvilli?
They increase surface area and absorptive capacity
What is the structure of microvilli?
- Interrior has 20-30 long actin flilaments in its core which connect to villin at the top and terminal web at the bottom
- the terminal web is made of mysoin II
What kind of movement does microvilli do? how?
Performs active movement via the myosin II that make up the termial web - it contacts and relaxes which move the microvilli open and close which pulls the fluid closer ot the tissue
What is microvillous atrophy (MVA)? What causes it? What are the symptoms? When does it develope?
MVA is a disease caused by a genetic mutation of the MIO 5V protien
The microvilli never make it to the apical side of the epithelial tissue, they remain stuck in the cells
Symptoms are chronic and severe diarreha, malnutrition, stunted growth, inability to gain weight
Develops hours/days after birth
What is the function of sterocilia (stereovilli)?
Facilitate absoption
What is the strucutre of sterocillia (stereovilli)?
100x longer than microvilli
core of actin filament (no villi or terminal web)
reinforced by cytoplasmic bridges made of alpha-actin at the base and throughout the length
Where are cilia located?
Present of nearly every cell in the body
What are the 3 classifications of cilia?
- Motile Cilia
- Nodal Cilia
- Primary Cilia
What is the axonemal organization of motile cilia? What kind of movement does this lead to?
9 + 2
180 windsheild wiper motion
What is the function of motile cilia?
Move particles and fluid across the epithelial surface
ex) in ovaduct and respiratory tract
What protein attaches the duplets to the central axonemal? What is it responsible for?
Dinen which is thus responsible for movement
What two protiens help attach the central microtubles in motile cilia? What is thier function?
Flexin and Radiospokes
Controls who responds
Responsible for elasticity
What is the axonemal organization of nodal cilia? What motion does this result in?
9 + 0
360 clockwise rotation
What is the function of nodal cillia?
Dispurse developemental signals in fetus/embryo development
Establish asymettry in organs
What is Situs Invertus Totalis? Which cilia is non-functional?
Reversal of internal organs
Mutation in nodal cilia - you don’t get the proper dispursment of developmental signals in embryo
What is the axonemal organization of primary cilia (monocilia)? What do primary cilia lack? What motion does this result in?
9 + 0
Lack dinen
Only passive movement
Chemical, light, and mechanical stimuli
ex) kindey fluid moves tubules which causes the release of Calcuium and begin absorption
What is Kartanger Syndrome? Symptoms? Cause?
Lack dynein which affect the nodal and motile cilia
Upper respiratory infections, sterilization if you’re man, and situs inversus totalis
Name the strucure and identify 3 prominent features which are key in the structure.
Microvillus
Villin at the tip
Actin throughout the structure
Terminal web to anchor at the bottom
What illness is being shown here?
MVA - microcillous atrophy
What is this?
Stereovillia (stereovilli)
What illness is being shown here?
Kartanger Syndrome
What structure is this?
Cilia
What structure is this?
Primary Cilia (monocilia)
Where are terminal bars located? What is thier function?
Located on the lateral membrane
Poliginal bands that encirle each other and act as cell-to-cell attachemtn sites
What are the three types of junctional complexes?
- Occuluding Junction
- Anchoring Junction
- Communicating Junction
What is the function of occluding junctions? What do they look like?
Established polarity; kepps protiens and lipids at the apical domian
Impermeable barrier; doesn’t allow exterior water through
It is a poliginal band around the apical region
What are occluding junctions made out of? (3)
Occludin - maintians barreir
Claudins - form backbone of each strand and extracellular aqueous junctions
Junctional adhesion molecules (JAM) - associated with claudins
