53
Q

Passive Membrane:
occurs when?

-Diffusion, filtration, osmosis

54
Q

Diffusion:
depends primarily on:
rate depends on:

A

PRIMARILY dependent on concentration gradient.

  • Rate depends on surface its at, concentration of gradient, thickness of memb
55
Q

Larger membrane surface area =

A

Higher rates of diffusion

56
Q

Greater concentration gradients =

A

HIGHER diffusion rates

57
Q

Thicker membranes =

A

LOWER diffusion rates

58
Q

Osmosis =
1.
2. pressure
3. pressure

A
  1. Water moving towards where there is MORE solutes.
  2. Osmotic pressure opposes hydrostatic pressure.
  3. Oncotic/colloid pressure overall osmotic pressure caused by proteins that dont go through.
59
Q

Filtration
-pressure
-
- ex?

A
  • hydrostatic pressure
  • Water/solutes move due to a PUSH from on side of membrane.
    ex: blood vessels - push by gravity and pumping heart
60
Q

where is more hydro pressure

A

side with more water.

61
Q

Active transport:

A

requires life,

Na+/K+ pump against gradient

62
Q

Na+/K+ Pump =
describe its flow
- Does ____ work?
- if this didn’t exist what would happen?

A
  • 3 Na+ OUT, 2 K+ IN(antiport system)
  • Does osmotic work, every ATP -> 3na out, 2k in. NET LOSS of SOLUTE cuz 3 is leaving only 2 coming in. SO WATER follows, so cells have constant water.

If NA+/K+ pump did not exist cells would swell because we wouldn’t have the net loss of solute allowing water to follow.

63
Q

Vesical transport: (3)

A
  1. endocytosis (taking in)
  2. exocytosis (releasing)
  3. transcytosis (taking in and releasing)
64
Q

Resting Membrane Potential:

  1. difference in?
  2. NA+, K+ pump maintains concentrations cuz?
A
  1. voltage in membrane
    • Na+ more concentration out of cell cuz they go out
      - K+ more concentration in of cell cuz they go in
      - So there’s a balance
65
Q

Resting membrane is leakier for na+ or k+

A

K+ bc it diffuses out easily vs. Na+

66
Q

Result of resting membrane and thats not the na+/k+ process?

A

excess anions inside membrane, and increase in cations outside the cell -> difference in charge distribution=polarized -> resting potential is NEGATIVE.

because K+ is positive and its leaving and the negatives aren’t, there is no way for them too, they just stay in while this whole na+/k+ pump is going on. THIS IS WHY RESTING IS NEGATIVE…negatives are resting inside the membrane there is no way for them to leave. POSITIVE IS ALL OUTSIDE. THIS DIFFERENCE IS the nature of RESTING MEMBRANE POTENTIAL

67
Q

Electrolytes:

Non-electrolytes:

A

cation+,anions- (dissociates)

Glucose, urea, creatinine (doesn’t dissociates)

68
Q

Action potential:

A
  1. Resting cell->activated by electrochemical stimulus->Na+ gates OPEN, rushing in so many that DEPOLARIZES (removes) threshold -> cells continue depolarizing w/o stimulation, usually it needs stimulation but since its surpassed its threshold its going crazy.
    * 2. RAPID reversal in polarity; the inside that was alll neg and chilling will become positive.= action potential
  2. Repolarizes(reverse the starting step), cant be neg out and pos in the rush has to stop.
  3. NEGATIVE MEMBRANE POTENTIAL COMES BACK(neg in,pos out-na+/k+ pump)
    - Na+ gates close,K+ open = memb is neg now
    - Resting memb is back to normal (resting - are back inside)
69
Q

Depolarization:

A

the rushing in of Na+

70
Q

Repolarization:

A

Neg memb potentional jumps in to reverse the crazy na+. Na/k pump comes back too.

71
Q

Resting:

A

Na/k pump…anions in membrane

72
