G-W Anatomy and Physiology 2.2 Flashcards
what is extracellular fluid?
mostly water, what surrounds cells
what is the extracellular matrix?
may be solid or gel-like and differs depending on the type of tissue
what is the plasma membrane?
the outer shell of a cell
what is cytoplasm?
everything inside of a cell except for the nucleus
what are the structural proteins in the plasma membrane?
structural proteins, ion and water channels, and glycoproteins
what does the phospholipid bilayer do?
it is selectively permeable
what are some examples of structural protiens
cadherin, integrin, and spectrin
what links the inside and the outside of the cell?
structural protiens
what are channel proteins?
they are proteins that have a hollow center pore that allows water or small charged particles such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride to pass in or out of the cell
how do channel proteins work?
they are extremely selective, and test on polarity as well, it also tests for size both larger and smaller
name the 12 parts of the cell
Golgi apparatus, mitochondrion, nucleus, smooth endoplasmic rectum, cytoplasm, peroxisome, centrosome, lysosome, ribosomes, rough endoplasmic rectum, plasma membrane, cytoskeleton
what is a glycoprotein?
are proteins with carbohydrates attached
what is the glycocalyx?
the layer of carbohydrate groups surrounding a cell
what does the glycocalyx do?
helps with cell recognition
what are the 2 types of membrane transport?
passive and active
what is passive transport?
does not require energy, usually works using diffusion
what is diffusion?
the movement of material from a place where it is concentrated to a place where it is not concentrated
what type of molecules can diffuse through cell membrane?
small non-polar molecules
what is the diffusion called when it diffuses through the cell membrane?
simple diffusion
what is facilitated diffusion
protein aided transport through the cell
