Exam Ch 3-6 Slides Review Flashcards
Cell membrane
Phospholipid bilayer (hydrophilic heads, hydrophobic tails)
Selectively permeable
Passive transport (diffusion through the lipid bilayer, ion channels, and facilitated diffusion)
Active transport (requires cellular energy)
Vesicular transport
Solute transport moves from ___ to ___ due to the concentration gradient.
Left, right
Osmosis
Net movement of water
Selectively permeable membrane
Low concentration of solutes to high concentration of solutes
Hypotonic solutions
Cells will burst
Hypertonic
Cells solutions will reach equilibrium and become isotonic
Diffusion through Membrane channels
Most are ion channels
Small inorganic ions
Channels are selective and nonspecific
Gated or open
Facilitated diffusion
Solute binds to a transporter
Transporter undergoes conformational change
Transporter releases the solute
(Ex. Glucose, fructose, urea, some vitamins)
Endocytosis
Moves material into a cell in a vesicle formed in the plasma membrane
Exocytosis
Secretory vesicles form inside the cell, fuse w/the plasma membrane and release their contents into the extra cellular material
Know the organelles of cell and their functions
Nucleus
Golgi apparatus
Centriole
Lysosome
Cytoplasm
Cell membrane
Mitochondria
Smooth ER
Rough ER
Ribosome
Epithelial tissues
Tight junctions
Coverings and linings and glandular tissues
Arranged in sheets
Little extra cellular material
Avascular
Has nerve supply
High motif rate
Classification of epithelial tissues- shapes
Squamous (best for diffusion, one layer, waterproof, protection, injury or infection)
Cuboidal (secretion)
Columnar (absorption)
Transitional
Classification of epithelial tissues- layers
Simple
Stratified
Pseudostratified
Stratified columnar epithelium
Functions in support and some movement (male urethra and vas deferens)
Pseudostratified epithelium
Controversial
One layer of cells but appears as many
All cells are attached to the basement membrane but some do not reach apical surface
Exocrine glands classification- Merocrine glands
Discharge by exocytosis of secretory vesicles
Exocrine glands classification- Apocrine glands
Apical part of the cell wall pinches off
Exocrine glands classification- Holocene glands
Secretory product is released when the cell dies
Connective tissue matrix
Fluid
Semisolid
Gelatinous
Fibrous
Calcified
Secreted by connective tissue cells and adjacent cells
Three matrix fibers that provide strength and support
Collagen, elastic, reticular
Adipose tissue
Consists of adipose tees
Stores triglycerides
Found along w/areolar tissue
Reduces heat loss, energy reservoir,supports, protects
Cartilage
Dense network of collagen fibers and elastic fibers embedded in a chondroitin sulfate matrix
Chondrocytes in the matrix
No blood vessels or nerves
Three types (hyaline, fibrocartilage, elastic)
Bone: Osseous tissue
Osteocytes
Matrix contains salts and collagen fibers
Haversian systems
Blood
Liquid matrix= plasma
Formed elements= cells
- red blood cells
- white blood cells
Four tissue types
Nervous, muscle, connective, epithelial
Three types of muscle tissue
Skeletal (striated, movement)
Smooth (blood vessels, involuntary)
Cardiac (striated, involuntary)
Layers of the epidermis
Stratum corneum
Stratum lucidum
Stratum granulosum
Stratum spinosum
Stratum basal
Dermis
Connective tissue
Collagen, elastic tissue, and reticular fibers
Regions: papillary layer (superficial) reticular region
Epidermal ridges (make fingerprints)
