S and F 1 Flashcards
Peripheral membrane proteins
- Loosely attached to inner or outer membrane surface, interacts with polar lipid heads or integral membrane proteins
- Function in selective transport, cell-cell recognition, forming tight junctions
Integral membrane proteins
- Inserted into lipid bilayer, including transmembrane proteins
- Include carrier and channel proteins
Carrier proteins vs. channel proteins
carrier proteins bind specific amino acids to transport
channel proteins form open gates through membrane
Hypokalemia: Effect on polarization, Vm
Hyperpolarization
Moves Vm away from threshold, harder to generate action potential
Rough ER
Structure: Contains ribosomes, attached to outer nuclear membrane
Function: Reads mRNA to synthesize proteins, sends to Golgi
Smooth ER
Function: Synthesizes lipids, steroids, cholesterol
Liver and kidney detoxification
Golgi apparatus
Structure: Stack of sacs
Cis face function: Tags and modifies proteins from rough ER
Synthesis of lysosomes and enzymes
Basement membrane structure
Basal lamina: type IV collagen
- lamina lucida: electron lucent layer
- lamina densa: electron dense layer
- anchored to reticular via type VII collagen
Reticular lamina:
- composed of type III collagen
Reticular lamina function
attachment to connective tissue, compartmentalization of epithelium from connective tissue, substance filtration, scaffolding for epithelium regeneration
exocrine vs endocrine secretion
exocrine: maintains connection to epithelium, secretion through ducts or onto epithelial surface
endocrine: loses connection to epithelium, enters vascular system
gland origination
epithelial cells
epidermis and derivatives: origination
ectoderm
muscle: origination
mesoderm
connective tissue: origination
mesoderm
lining of body cavities: origination
mesoderm
lining of blood and lymph vessels: origination
mesoderm
lining of respiratory and GI tracts: origination
endoderm
nervous tissue: origination
ectoderm
epithelium: location, vasculature, nerves
sits on basement membrane
no vasculature or nerves
epithelium: apical surface
exposed to air or fluid (skin, lumen)
- may have surface modifications
epithelium: lateral surface
specialized junctions that facilitate adhesions with no leaks
epithelium: basal surface
may attach to basement membrane or other cells
simple cuboidal epithelium: location
surrounding small ducts
kidney tubules
lining of thyroid follicles
simple squamous: location
epidermis
moist surfaces (oral cavity, esophagus)
simple columnar: location
GI tract
stratified cuboidal: location
sweat glands, larger exocrine ducts
Transitional: location
urinary tract
stratified columnar: location
large exocrine ducts, transition sites between strat. squamous and pseudostratified
pseudostratified: location
trachea, bronchi, efferent vessels, epididymus, vas deferens
belt desmosome
tight junction
anchoring, resists mechanical stress
spot desmosome
tight junction
keratins attached to plaque
hemidesmosome
tight junction
anchoring filaments to basal lamina, protects from abrasion
zonula occludens
controls passage of substances between cells
gap junctions
present where activity of adjacent cells must be coordinated
cell adhesion: calcium-independent
immunoglobulins: immune response
integrins: adhesion to basement membrane
cell adhesion: calcium-dependent
cadherins: link intra and intercellular of separate cells
selectins: extravasation of leukocytes
merocrine glands
golgi packages in secretory vesicles, exocytosis
- salivary, pancreas
apocrine glands
secretory portion accumulates in apical, pinches off
lobar gland
connect to main excretory duct, pseudostratified to stratified cuboidal/columnar
interlobular glands
in septa between lobules, tall simple columnar or pseudostratified, surrounded by connective tissue
