Exocytosis Flashcards
Vesicles (in exocytosis)
Fuses with the plasma membrane
- then substances carried within the vesicles are released
Secretion involves:
- Materials are targeted to vesicles
- the vesicles move to the proper location
- Signal trigger the release of materials from the vesicles
What happens to materials like neurotransmitters in vesicles
They are loaded into vesicles from cytoplasm to target vesicles
What happens to materials like proteins in vesicles
There synthesize in ribosomes linked to the RER
What are one of the major purposes for the rough ER
- completely leave the cell
- become part of the plasma membrane
- become part of the lysosome
What happens to vesicle containing completed protein
They are sent to the golgi apparatus
Goldie apparatus does what to proteins from vesicles
It adds chemical tags to proteins; helps direct them to the proper location
Tags: carbohydrates, lipids, and phosphate groups
Various signals can trigger exocytosis like:
Constitutive secretion
Regulative secretion
Constituted secretion
Continual release of material from the cell
Regulative secretion
Release of material at specific, controlled times from the cell
