Exam Review Flashcards
Carbonyl
Aldehyde/ketone (sugar)
Carboxyl
Carboxylic acid (amino acids, fatty acids)
Carbohydrates Monomer and Bond
- Monosaccharides
- Glycosidic
Lipids Monomer and Bond
- Glycerol + fatty acid
- Ester
Nucleic Acid Monomer and Bond
- Nucleotides
- Phosphodiester
Passive Transport Types
- Simple diffusion
- Facilitated diffusion
- Osmosis
Osomosis
Movement of H2O from low to high
Channel Proteins
Allows ions, small polar molecules to pass through a channel
Carrier Proteins
Bind to specific molecule and deposits it in the cell
Hypertonic and Hypotonic
- Hyper: more C
- Hypo: less C
Active Transport Types
- Primary AT
- Secondary AT
- Membrane Assisted T
Membrane Assisted Transport Types
- Exocytosis: releases
- Endocytosis: absorbs (phagocytosis, pinocytosis)
Phagocytosis
Engulfs whole
Pinocytosis
Little particles and surrounds w/membrane
Cell Membrane Components
- Phospholipid bilayer
- Cholesterol
- Membrane proteins (integral & peripheral)
- Carbohydrates (glycolipids & glycoproteins)
Purpose of Cholesterol
Maintain fluidity
Factors that affect fluidity
- Temp
- Double bonds in fatty acid tail
- Fatty acid length (long tails have more attraction = less fluidity)
Fluid Mosaic Model
Membrane is collection of proteins, cholesterol, carbs, phospholipids
Cis and Trans bond
- Cis = bent, same sides
- Trans = straight, opp sides
Homeostasis
Tendency to keep relative constant internal environment
Types of Feedback Systems
- Negative: reverses (pH, thermoregulation)
- Positive: increases (blood clotting, childbirth)
Gland
Stores secreted hormones
Types of hormones
- Steroid hormones
- Protein hormones
Steroid hormones
- lipid soluble
- diffuses into cell
Protein hormones
- water soluble
- binds to cell membrane receptors
Hypothalamus
- makes neurohormones that goes through portal vein into pituitary
- maintains motivational behavior (emotions, hunger)
Pituitary Gland
- anterior: makes regulatory hormones that’s released base on hypothalamus
- posterior: stores ADH & oxytocin from hypothalamus
Thyroid
Make T4, turns into T3
Pancreas
- Made of islets of langerhans
- Makes glucagon, insulin
Adrenal Glands
- Controls Stress
- Adrenal medulla (inner) = short term
- Adrenal cortex (outer) = long term
Schwann Cells
Make myelin sheath
Nodes of Ranvier
Space btwn schwann cells
Reflex Arc
Sensory > Spinal cord > Motor
Action Potential
Change in charge
Depolarizing
less -ive
Re/hyperpolarizaing
more -ive
Nerve Impulse Starts by
- Stimulus causing Na channels to open, depolarizing
- When it reaches -50mV, voltage gated Na channels open
Nerve Reaches Action Potential
- Na ions move in to +40mV
- Na channels closed, K channel opens
- K ions move out to -90mV
Refractory Period
- Na-K pumps repolarize membrane to -70mV
- Action potential at terminal causes Ca channel to open which vesicles release neurotransmitters into synaptic cleft
White & Grey Matter
- White = myelinated
- Grey = unmyelinated
