Final Review Block 3 Flashcards
which ion has the biggest difference in concentration between inside and out of cell?
Ca
3 characteristics of simple diffusion
selectivity
passivity
competition
(no saturation)
describe a simple diffusion channel
hole in the membrane that provides a hydrophilic path for molecules to move through down their concentration gradient
what is Fick’s Law
j = DA (DC/Dx)
what are the consequences of fick’s law?
larger concentration gradient, more molecules will move
larger molecules = slower movement
larger surface area = more molecules diffuse
what is PTPC?
permeability transition pore complex in mito
closed = mito happy
open = apoptosis
what are the 2 types of RyR receptors?
RyR1 skeletal mm
RyR2 other mm
describe NMDA- type glutamine receptors
ligand gated Ca channels
antagonists: anesthetics, drugs (PCP)
what is the reflection coefficient?
measure of how well a solute can cross a membrane
=1 (highest), solute cannot cross
0-1 = semi-permeable
=0 freely permeable
what is required for a substance to be osmotically active?
cannot freely diffuse across the membrane
what allows for the passage of water across a membrane?
aquaporins
what characterizes facilitated diffusion?
competition, selectivity, saturability
describe GLUT-2
facilitative glucose transporter that is found on pancreatic b-cells, acts as a glucose sensor for release of insulin, always present in the membrane (constitutive)
describe GLUT-4
Facilitative glucose transporter that is found on skeletal and cardiac mm cells/fat cells, insulin binds to receptor yielding a signal for the cell to inset GLUT-4 into membrane (regulated)
what are the Ca ATPases?
PMCA- plasma membrane, pumps Ca out
SERCA- pumps Ca into SER
SPCA- on golgi
H/K ATPase on gastric parietal cells
1H out and 1K in per 1ATP
