Q

what are the consequences of fick’s law?

A

larger concentration gradient, more molecules will move
larger molecules = slower movement
larger surface area = more molecules diffuse

Q

what is the reflection coefficient?

A

measure of how well a solute can cross a membrane
=1 (highest), solute cannot cross
0-1 = semi-permeable
=0 freely permeable

Q

describe GLUT-2

A

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)

Q

describe GLUT-4

A

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)

17
Q

vesicular ATPase

A

uses ATP to pump H into vesicles

18
Q

ABC transporter

A

uses APT to export xenobiotics, cholesterol and bile from liver

19
Q

which active transporter is importance re: diarrhea?

A

Na/glucose cotransporter, will help move water out of gut (target of oral rehydration therapy)

20
Q

K(ATP channel)

A

part of SUR, blocking k(ATP) leads to depol, which causes release of insulin

21
Q

consequence of severe hyponaturemia

A

brain swelling

22
Q

consequence of hypokalemia

A

constipation

23
Q

digoxin MOA

A

cardiac glycoside- inhibits Na/K ATPase, thereby decreasing extracellular Na and decreasing “fuel” to pump Ca out of cell (decreases contraction)

24
Q

CCB MOA

A

inhibit voltage gated Ca channels, decrease contraction strength - used for angina, arrhythmia and HTN, will decrease BP and decrease myocardial O2 consumption

25
Q

effect of ischemia on the heart

A

ischemia will decrease OXPHOS and thereby decreased ATP production, Na will reverse the Na/Ca exchanger and increased Ca will be inside of the cell, leading to arrhythmia, heart failure or CVA

26
Q

define equilibrium potential

A

the amount of charge needed to oppose the concentration gradient of the ion

27
Q

what are the equilibrium potentials for K, Na, Cl and Ca?

A
K= -92 mV
Na = +64 mV
Cl= -88 mV
Ca = -150 mV
28
Q

what are the 2 things that govern membrane potential?

A

concentration gradient of ions

permeability of those ions

29
Q

what is the main determinant of equilibrium potential in most cells?

A

K+ because Na and Cl permeabilities are insignificant

30
Q

what is the consequence of increasing extracellular K?

A

depolarization

31
Q

when are channels refractory?

A

after they are inactivated and before the membrane is repolarized

32
Q

which type of cell has increased permeability to cl?

A

skeletal mm

33
Q

describe leak channels

A

channels for K, Na, Cl that are voltage gated and are OPEN when the membrane is at resting potential

34
Q

what is the cause of the “plateau” seen on myocardiocytes?

A

Ca influx

35
Q

3 special channels in pacemaker cells

A

Na-HCN
K-KAch
Ca-t type

36
Q

describe Na-HCN channels

A

in cardiac pacemaker cells, also called “funny”, will open when cell is hyper polarized and allow Na in to bring cell back to resting potential

37
Q

describe K-KACh channes

A

ACh sensitive K channel- Ach opens channel and K flows out to repolarize, closing these will result in depol

38
Q

describe Ca T type Ca channels

A

transient, will open at the beginning of depol and allow cells to reach threshold

39
Q

sulfonylurea MOA

A

inhibits K(ATP) channel, leads to depol, depol opens Ca channels, increased Ca triggers release of insulin from b-cells

40
Q

what maintains resting membrane potential?

A

Na/K ATPase
