MD2001 Week 8 Flashcards
amount of Cl- extra and intracellularly
110mM extracellularly, 5mM intracellularly of this ion
amount of CHCO3- extra and intracellularly
27mM extracellularly, 10mM intracellularly of this ion
amount of Ca2+ extra and intracellularly
2mM extracellularly, minimal intracellularly of this ion
amount of Mg2+ extra and intracellularly
1mM extracellularly, 10mM intracellularly of this ion
pH extra and intracellularly
7.4 and 7.0 respectively
what is included in the permeability constant equation?
- mobility
- gas constant
- absolute temp
- membrane thickness
- partition coefficient
how does Na+ get pulled through voltage gate?
negatively charged amino acids pull this ion from its water shell so it is small enough to diffuse
how does K+ get pulled through its voltage gate?
carbonyl oxygens strip water from this ion so its small enough to pass this channel
structure of an aquaporin
- 6 trans-membrane alpha helices
- tri-amino acid motif (asparagine-proline-alanine)
- organized into a tetramer
how does vasopressin work?
this drug increases water re-adsorption in kidneys by up-regulation of AQP-2 channels (AQP-3 channels constant)
membrane of an ovum
zona pellucida
what happens when 8 cells are created in an ovum?
compaction occurs here
16+ cell ovum
morula
stage of embryo at 4.5 days
blastocyst: trophoblast and inner cell mass (embryo blast) + blastocoel + trophectoderm
when does blastocyst bind to uterus wall?
this occurs in embryological development at 5.5-6 days
how does the embryonic pole attach to the uterine wall?
anti-adhesion molecule MUC-1 is down regulated so that selectins on embryo bind to glyco-components on uterus
what three membrane proteins are involved in penetration of uterine wall by the embryo?
integrins, laminin, and fibronectin
what happens 1 week into embryological development?
- trophoblast differentiates into syncytiotrophoblast and cytotrophoblast
syncytiotrophoblast invades via MMPs - epiblast and hypoblast form
- amniotic cavity forms within epiblast
what happens 9 days into embryological development?
- spaces develop within syncitiotrophoblast
- hypoblast coats blastocoel to form primary yolk sac
- amnion formed
what happens 1.5 weeks into embryological development?
- chorionic cavity forms behind hypoblast
- blastocyst burrows completely into endometrium
- syncytiotrophoblasts erode capillaries which bleed into spaces
unsuccessful outcomes of human pregnancies and their likelihood
pre-implantation: 30%
post-implantation: 30%
miscarriage: 10%
teratogen
something that causes malformation of an embryo
effects of foetal alcohol spectrum disorder
- growth retardation
- CNS damage
- facial defects: cleft lip, small jaw, wide set eyes, dental/digit issues, small head, short
2 examples of primary active transport (other than Na+/K+) and where they are found
- Ca2+ ATPase transporter - cell membrane and sarcoplasmic reticulum
- H+ ATPase transporter - parietal cells of gastric glands (HCl secretion) and intercalated cells of renal tubules (control blood pH)
types of glucose transporters
GLUT1: placenta and brain GLUT2: transepithelial GLUT3: brain GLUT4: skeletal muscle (insulin dependent) GLUT5: intestinal absorption of fructose
example of a symporter
example of this type of active transport is sodium glucose linked transporter (SGLT)
Na+ to glucose uptake ratio of SLGT2
Na+ to glucose uptake ratio of this isoform is 1:1
which SGLT isoform is found in the intestine?
SGLT1 is found here
where are SGLTs commonly found?
these type of transporters are commonly found in kidney and intestines
what active transporter is found in every cell?
the Na+/K+ pump is found here
mass and power of an alpha subunit of Na+/K+ pump
100kDa, 100,000MW
