Paper 11 Flashcards
Colloid
A homogenous non crystalline substance consists of large molecules of one substance dispersed in other substance examples : gel, sols, emulsions
Automatic bladder
Urinary bladder characterised by hyperactive micturition reflex with loss of voluntary control so, even small amount of urine collected elicits micturition reflex results in emptying
Mitochondria
Membrane bound cytoplasmic organelle concerned with production of energy,
Shape - rod or oval
Diameter - 0.5 to 1mu
Double layered outer & inner membrane with matrix inside
Mitochondria
-Outer membrane
-inner membrane
-outer membrane continue various enzymes ie, acetyl CoA synthase & glycerophosphate acetyl transferases
-inner membrane folded in the form of shelf like projections like cristae covers iner matrix. Cristae contains many enzymes proteins involved in respi function so cld electron transport system
Enzymes & other proteins of respiratory chain or electron transport chain
1) succinic dehydrogenase
2) NADH dehydrogenase
3) cytochrome oxidase
4) cytochrome C
5) ATP synthase
Functions of mitochondria
1) production of energy
2) synthesis of ATP
3) apoptosis
4) storage of Ca
5) detoxification
Transcription
Means copying, it indicates copying of genetic code from 🧬DNA to RNA
Fragility test
Measure the resistance of rbc in hypotonic saline solution done by Nacl solution at 1.2 to 0.2% concentration
Index for fragility : after 20 min
No hemolysis = up to 0.6%
Onset of hemolysis = ~ 0.45% old cells
Complete hemolysis = ~0.35% all cells
