Patho Chap 3 Flashcards
Tay Sachs
Inherited lososomal storage disease where the infant is unable to break down glycoproteins
Peroxisomes
Smaller than lysosomes, they degrade long fatty acid chans. Acetyl CoA is made from fatty acids by perioxisiomes
Methods of Chemical Signaling
3 Gap Junctions, Receptors and Release of signal molecules
Gap Junctions
Cardiac cells communicate this way. AP’s are transmitted directly from one cell to the next
Receptors
Signal molecule binds to the receptor site
Release of signal molecules
Ex. Inflamatory Response
Methods of Cellular Communication
- Hormonal Signaling, Neuro Hormonal Signaling, Paracrine Signaling, Autocrine Signaling
Hormone Signaling
Hormone travles through blood or Lymph. Ex. Insulin
Neurohormonal Signaling
Hormones are released into the blood by neurosecretory neurons. Ex. ADH is produced by the Hypothalamus then transmitted along axons and stored in the pituiatry
Paracrine Signaling
Cells secrete signaling molecules to nearby cells
Autocrine Signaling
Molecules act back on the cell of origin
Adenylyl Cyclase is converted to what by the G protein
cAMP
2 common second Messengers
cAMP and Ca++
Phases of Cellular Respiration
- Digestion 2. Glycolosis 3. Citric Acid Cycle
Products of Glycolosis
2 pyruvic Acid 2 NADH 2 ATP
