Homeostasis Flashcards
this terms describes the movement of fluid, gas or ions from high to low concentration gradient
diffusion
movement of ions through channels into cells; pumping of ions/molecules against a concentration gradient
transport
what are things that move into the cell?
carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, lipids, salts, O2, H2O
Name some things that are transported out of the cell.
waste products, ammonia, salts, CO2, H20
what are the types of passive transport?
diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis
what are the types of active transport?
pumps, cotransport
does not require energy or a carrier protein. may require a channel protein
diffusion
what are some factors that alter diffusion rate?
membrane permeability, concentration difference, electrical potential, pressure
what is the extracellular concentration of Na+ ?
142 mEq/L
what is the intracellular concentration of Na+ ?
10 mEq/L
what is the extracellular concentration of K+?
4 mEq/L
what is the intracellular concentration of K+?
140 mEq/L
what is the extracellular concentration of Cl-?
103 mEq/L
what is the intracellular concentration of Cl-?
4 mEq/L
what determines simple ion diffusion?
concentration difference, electrical difference, and channels being open (permeability)
what are the two types of simple diffusion gated channels?
voltage gating, and chemical gating
What is/are an example(s) of a voltage gated channel?
Na+ channel , K+ channel
how many gates does a voltage gated sodium channel have?
2
how many gates does a voltage gated potassium channel have?
1
what is an example of a chemical gating channel?
acetylcholine nicotinic receptor and serotonin type 3 receptor
permeability to CATIONS produces what kind of membrane potential?
depolarization (cell activation)
