membranes Flashcards
ions more confines to ECF
Na+ and Cl-
ions more confined to ICF
K+
how does water travel freely through all membranes
aquaporin
how well do gases travel
freely between all membranes
glycoprotein function
cell communication
recognition by immune system
functions of membrane proteins
receptors
transport
enzymes
maintenance of structure
communication
osmosis with no diffusion will lead to
change in cell volume
osmolarity definition
total number of particles per L
both penetrating and non penetrating
tonicity definition
number of non penetrating particles in solution
osmolarity of plasma and cells
300 mOsmol/l
1M of NaCl osmolarity
2 osmol/l
Na and Cl split
non penetrating molecules in ECF
Na+ and Cl-
non penetrating molecules in ICF
k+
example of a freely penetrating particle
urea
solutions with same total number of solute particles as normal ECF are
isosmotic
