Q

glycocalyx

function

A

carbohydrate shell on cell membrane

protect, adhese, indentify

19
Q

importance of glycocalyx

A
RBC types (A, B, O)
rem: antibody effects
20
Q

Rh factor

A

mothers who are Rh negative will not recognize and will attack Rh + (second offspring) leading to sa

21
Q

membranes are fluid T/F

22
Q

Factors of fuidity

A
temp (up inc. down dec.)
lipid comp (sat. dec. unsat. inc.)
cholesterol (balances)
23
Q

spur cell anemia

A

too high cholesterol in RBC, causes lysis in splenic capillaries

24
Q

types of transport

A

passsive fac diff and simple

active ABC and primary

25
permeability
non polar non permeable | polar permeable
26
simple diff
small and non polar pass thru membrane freely
27
fac diff
large and charged use facilitator to go down gradient (ion channels or transporters)
28
Primary transport
uses ATP directly
29
secondary transport
energy stored in gradient, coupled with primary active
30
types of primary active
``` P type atpase (phosphorylate asp residue) ABC type (hydrolyse) ```
31
examples of 2nd actv transport
SGLT ( 2 Na down and 1 glu up sym) and NCX (anti 3 Na down 1 Ca up)
32
Picture eneterocyte glucose transport
SGLT GLUT 2 GLUT 5 NaK ATPase good job
33
Cystic fibrosis defic.
Cl transporter (CFTR - cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator)
34
CF causes
build up of Cl- on inside of cell membrane
35
CF effects
Cl- build up leads to Na+ build up... NaCl leads to water... leads to inc mucous thickness and dyspnea
36
Cystinuria defic.
defective transporter for A. a. uptake
37
Cystinuria causes
build of up cystine, arg, lys, and ornithine
38
cystinuria effects
cystine stones in kidney | Sx renal cholic
39
Hartnup Disease defic.
defective a a transporter ( non polar, neutral a a) in kidney and intestines
40
hartnup disease causes
insuf. trp in body...
41
hartnup diseases effects
FTT, cerebellar ataxia, photons., nystagmus
42
Cardiotonic drugs (oubain)
contraction inducing
43
cardiotonic drugs effect
inhibit NaKATPase on cardiac myocytes TF inc in [Na] TF slows NCX TF inc. [Ca] inc. contraction strength
44
cardiotonic drugs uses
CHF and Afib
