Q

what is the difference between loose and dense connective tissue?

A

16
Q

what 2 tissue types are excitable?

A

Muscle tissue and Neural tissue

(able to generate and transmit electrical signals. minimal extracellular matrix)

17
Q

cell membrane permeability

A

selectively permeable

transport depends on composition of lipid/protein

increased membrane cholesterol = decreased h2O permeability

18
Q

membrane permeability is directly correlated to

A

lipid solubility/molecular size

19
Q

facilitated transport of a substance

A

may require a channel or transporter

may require use of ATP

20
Q

different membrane transport mechanisms

A

Non faciliated transport
(simple diffusion)

Facilitated transport
–> protein mediated transport (channels, transporters)
active, passive

–> vesicular transport (endocytosis, exocytosis, phagocytosis)

21
Q

simple diffusion

A

directly across a phospholipid bilayer.
small lipophilic molecules

22
Q

facilitated diffusion is a type of

A

protein-mediated transport

23
Q

Fick’s law of diffusion

A

rate of diffusion is directly related to:

surface area x concentration gradient x membrane permeability

24
Q

membrane permeability equation

A

membrane permeability is directly related to lipid solubility/molecular size

25
Q

8 roles of proteins in the body

A
  1. structure
  2. enzymes
  3. membrane transporter
  4. receptors
  5. signal molecules
  6. binding proteins
  7. immunoglobulins
  8. regulatory proteins
26
Q

2 main types of protein-mediated transport

A

facilitated diffusion (passive)= down conc gradient

active transport (ATP input)= against conc gradient, system moves away from equilibrium

27
Q

Channels

A

facilitated diffusion, ALWAYS passive

selective: small molecules, water channels, ions channels

fast transport

can have gates

28
Q

Carriers or transporters

A

open to either one side of the membrane or the other

facilitated diffusion OR active transport

can be selective

slower than channels

29
Q

4 types of channels

A
  1. passive/leak channels
  2. voltage gated
  3. ligand gated
  4. mechanically gated
30
Q

what does channel selectivity depend on?

A

the diameter of the pore

the electrical charge of amino acids lining the pore

31
Q

3 types of carrier proteins

A

Uniport= one substrate in one direction

Symport= two substrate in one direction

Antiport= substrates in opposite directions

32
Q

Transcellular transport

A

transport through simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport, endo/exocytosis

ions or molecules cross both apical and basolateral membranes

33
Q

Paracellular transport

A

molecules pass between adjacent cells to get to or from lumen

regulated by the presence of tight junctions
