Q

4 functions of plasma cell membranes

A
  1. fluid - lateral diffusion of membrane proteins + cell mobility
  2. polar lipid composition - variable permeability
  3. breaks and tears are sealed spontaneously due to polar nature of lipids
    a. isolate cell cytoplasm from external environment
    b. regulate change of essential subs
    c. communicate with other cells

Q

when food enters duodenum what cause the inhibition of parietal cells?

A

acid, distension, hypertonic solutions, AAs and FAs in the small intestine reflexively inhibit gastric acid secretion. This inhibition is mediated by short and long neural reflexes and by hormones (enterogastrones including CCK and secretin) that inhibit acid secretion by influencing the 4 signals that directly control acid secretion: ACh, histamine, gastrin and somatostatin.

Q

what secretes progesterone after ovulation?

A

corpus luteum

26
Q

2 types of cell in a normal ovary that secrete oestrogen?

A

stromal/thecal, granulosa

27
Q

what do ___ secrete?
thyroid follicular cells
thyroid parafollicular cells

A

thyroid

calcitonin

28
Q

what are the 2 components need to make the follicular cell secretion?

A

iodine

tyrosine

29
Q

function of thyroidperoxidase?

A

liberates iodine for addition onto tyrosine residues on thyroglobulin

30
Q

secretion of follicular cells in thyroid gland is bound to what 2 proteins to be transported round the body?

A

thyroid binding protein

albumin

31
Q

2 functions of the hormone secreted by the thyroid follicular cells?

A

increase BMR
CNS development
increased use of Na/K/ATPase channels
potentiates catecholamines

32
Q

where in the cell is the receptor for thyroid?

A

nucleus

thryroid is an amine hormone (other 2 categories are peptides - in blood, plasma membrane receptor and steroids - needs cholesterol to carry + has intracellular receptor)

33
Q

what is the calculation for BP using CO and PVR?

A

BP = CO x PVR

as flow = pressure/resistance

34
Q

2 sites where arterial baroreceptors are found

A

aortic arch, carotid sinus

35
Q

what repels albumin the the slit diaphragm between foot processes in the GFB?

A

uncharged glycolax

36
Q

buffer system that regulates blood pH, and a buffer system that excretes the daily acid load

A

in blood: bicarbonate buffer system

alkaline phosphate excretes acid load

37
Q

which 2 non-pharmacological factors affect K+ secretion in the nephron

A

Na+ conc
blood vol
GFR
aldosterone levels

38
Q

2 hormones involved in the renal response to blood volume

A

ADH
aldosterone
angiotensin II

39
Q

what cranial nerve carries visual info from the eyes?

A

40
Q

where is primary visual cortex located (Brodmanns area 17)

temporal retina do not cross and stay ipsilateral

43
Q

what structure do the visual pathways synapse

A

lateral geniculate nucleus

44
Q

which 2 nerves are involved in the pupillary reflex?

A

46
Q

which spinal tract conveys fine touch and proprioception and where does it decussate?

A

dorsal medial lemnisci/dorsal column.

decussates at the medulla

47
Q

which spinal tract conveys pain, temp and coarse touch and where does it decussate?

A
