Q

Cell membrane (plasmalemma) function & structure

A

Function: selective barrier, selective transport, sensor
Structure: lipids- barrier to water, messengers
proteins- enzymes, channel proteins, receptors
carbohydrate- glycocalyx

Q

Endocytosis Types

A

Pinocytosis: non-selective, takes in volume from outside (“cell drinking”)
Receptor-mediated: selective, binding to receptors=transport
Phagocytosis: membrane surrounds & enclosed in cyto

16
Q

Exocytosis

17
Q

Autophagy

A

cell rids of own debris/components
“recycling”

18
Q

Rough ER

A

Function: synthesize proteins via ribosomes
Abundant in secretory cells

19
Q

Smooth ER

A

proteins transported here, detoxification, metabolism
Ca2+

20
Q

Lysosomes (primary & secondary)

A

Function: cellular digestion
Primary: before fusion of material
Secondary: digestive material present/fused

21
Q

Mitochondria

A

Function: make ATP (oxidation cycles)
Structure: inner/outer membrane, matrix (citric acid & fatty acid oxid), cristae (folds)

22
Q

3 Types of Cytoskeleton Filaments

A

Microfilaments
Microtubules
Intermediate filaments

23
Q

Microfilaments

A

Actin
Function for endo/exocytosis, microvilli movement, cell migration, structural framework

24
Q

Microtubules

A

Tubulin protein subunits
Function: cell shape, intracell support, motility (cilia, flagella), organizing centers (basal bodies, centrioles), bending (axoneme)

25
Intermediate filaments
Function: mechanical strength, nuclear structure specific to cell-type Mark for tumor if metastasizes (example- lamins)
26
Cytoplasmic Inclusions
less active than organelles Lipid droplets Carbohydrate accumulations Melanin Residual bodies
27
Lipid droplets
Material deposits for later use (inactive) throughout cyto Used for synthesis of steroid hormones Many in SER!
28
Carbohydrate accumulations
Glycogen release energy during exercise
29
Melanin
Pigment that partly shades nuclei
30
Residual bodies
cells active at breaking down accumulated materials Create lipfusin granules
31
Golgi complex (+ how it stains)
Package/send proteins Lighter/less stained because more active in cell
32
Which cell structures are basophilic?
Nucleus Neuron
33
Epithelium Function
Protection Absorption Secretory
34
Epithelium structure
tightly fit, sealed apical ends, little intercell space, avascular, free surface, attached to BM
35
Epithelium derivation & location
Ectoderm --> skin, nervous tissue Endoderm --> GI, respiratory Mesoderm --> circulatory, muscle
