Physiology Bb Quiz 1

QuestionAnswer
Extracellular fluid composition Extracellular fluid bathes cells and acts as a buffer between cells and the outside world 140 mM Na+, 4 mM K+
Intracellular fluid composition Cytoplasm 14 mM Na+, 140 mM K+, high protein
Interstitial fluid Fluid portion of the blood Low Protein
Plasma Fluid portion of the blood High protein
An increase in error signal will _____________ the strength of the motor output Increase
Error Signal How far away from set point the variable has moved
Negative feedback Returns variable toward set pint
Positive feedback Response pushes variable away from set point Ex:// Child birth (contractions)
Agonist Binding to receptor stimulates signal pathway Increases magnitude of the response
Antagonist Binding to receptor does NOT stimulate signaling pathway Decreases magnitude of the response
Increasing the number of receptors bound by ligand _____________ the strength of the response Increases
Upregulation Increase receptor number, increase ligand binding
Downregulation Decrease receptor number, decrease ligand binding
If all receptors are bound by ligand how can you increase the strength of the signal? Increase the number of receptors so more ligand can bind
For a cell generating a submaximal response an increase in ligand half life will _____________ the response of that cell Increase
For a cell generating a submaximal response an increase in ligand excretion will _____________ the response of that cell Decrease
For a cell generating a submaximal response an increase in the receptors for a ligand will _____________ the response of that cell Increase
For a cell generating a submaximal response an increase in the agonist concentration will _____________ the response of that cell Increase
For a cell generating a submaximal response an increase in antagonist concentration will _____________ the response of that cell Decrease
For a cell generating a submaximal response an increase in ligand binding protein concentration will _____________ the response of that cell (by its impact on free ligand concentration) Decrease
How can you increase the strength of the ligand response in a cell that is stimulated to 75% of its maximal response? Increase receptor agonist concentration Increase ligand half life
How can you decrease the strength of the ligand response in a cell that is stimulated to 75% of its maximal response? Increasing receptor antagonist concentration Decrease receptor agonist concentration Increase ligand excretion
An increase in _________ increases rate of diffusion Surface Area Concentration gradient Permeability (Lipid soluble diffuse directly across-- water soluble require proteins in membrane)
An increase in __________ decreases rate of diffusion Membrane thickness
Uniporter One molecule at a time- either direction (down gradient)
Symporter Two or more molecules-- All molecules move in the same direction
Antiporter Two or more molecules-- Molecules move in different directions (One in, one out)
Facilitated Diffusion Passive Transport (No energy) down the gradient
Primary active transport ATP binds to transporter to drive ions against concentration gradient Ex://Na/K ATPase-- primary moves both ions against their gradient
Secondary active transport Movement of ion (primary) drives another molecule against its gradient
Osmolarity Number of molecules in solution
If you increase osmolarity you ___________ water concentration Decrease More molecules/volume means less water/volume
Iso-osmotic solution 300 mOsm- no NET water movement
Hypo-osmotic solution <300 mOsm- water moves inward Cell swells
Hyperosmotic solution >300 mOsm- water moves outward Cell shrinks
Iso-osmotic solution is _______tonic Isotonic- No change in volume
Hypo-osmotic solution is _______tonic Hypotonic- Cell volume increases (swell)
Hyperosmotic solution is _______tonic Hypertonic- Cell volume decreases (shrink)
Solution is always _____________ if solute is permeable Hypotonic *Urea*
The GLUT transporter is a uniporter that moves glucose _________ Inward or outward depending upon the concentration gradient
The Na-H exchanger is a secondary active antiporter that moves H _________ Outward
The Na-Cl-HCO3 exchanger is a secondary active antiporter that moves Cl and HCO3 _________ Outward
The Na-glucose cotransporter is a secondary active symporter that moves glucose _________ Inward
The Ca-H pump is a primary active antiporter that moves H _________ ([Ca] higher outside cell) Inward
Autocrine Self (cell talking to itself)
Paracrine Neighboring (interstitium)
Endocrine Blood transports to rest of body
A _________ water soluble ligand impacts neighboring cells by altering _________ Paracrine: enzyme activity
A _________ water soluble ligand impacts the cell that released it by altering _________ Autocrine; enzyme activity
A _________ water soluble ligand impacts cells in other organs of the body by altering _________ Endocrine: enzyme activity
A _________ lipid soluble ligand impacts neighboring cells by altering _________ Paracrine: protein expression
A _________ lipid soluble ligand impacts the cell that released it by altering _________ Autocrine: protein expression
A _________ lipid soluble ligand impacts cells in other organs of the body by altering _________ Endocrine: Protein expression

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
