Question
Answer
Three cell types with regard to cell cycle   Permanent, Stable, Labile  
🗑
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum rich cells   -Mucus-secreting goblet cells of small intestine -Antibody-secreting plasma cells (ie lost of secretory protein)  
🗑
Cell cycle: Permanent cells   Remain in G0. If they regenerate, they regenerate from stem cells.  
🗑
Cell cycle: Stable cells   Enter G1 from G0 when stimulated  
🗑
Cell cycle: Labile cells   Never go to G0, divide rapidly with a short G1  
🗑
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum: Functions   -Steroid synthesis -Detoxification of drugs and poisons  
🗑
Permanent cells: cell types   -Neurons -Skeletal and cardiac muscle -RBCs (regenerate from stem cells)  
🗑
Stable cells: cell types   -Hepatocytes -Lymphocytes  
🗑
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum rich cells   -Liver hepatocytes -Steroid hormone-producing cells of the adrenal cortex  
🗑
Labile cells: cell types   -Bone marrow -Gut epithelium -Skin -Hair follicles (think about chemotherapy side effects)  
🗑
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum: Functions   -Synthesis of secretory (exported) proteins -N-linked oligosaccharide addition to many proteins  
🗑
Neurons: name of Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum and its function   Nissl bodies sytnhesize enzymes (eg ChAT) and peptide neurotransmitters.  
🗑
6 functions of Golgi apparatus   1. Distribution center --Input: Proteins and lipids from endoplasmic reticulum --Output: Plasma membrane, lysosomes, secretory vesicles 2. Modifies N-oligosaccharides on asparagine 3. Adds O-oligosaccharides to serine and threonine residues (o  
🗑
I-cell disease: Presentation   -coarse facial features -clouded corneas -restricted joint movement -high plasma levels of lysosomal enzymes -fatal in childhood  
🗑
COPI: Function   Retrograde Intracellular transport: cis-Golgi to RER  
🗑
COPII: Function   Anterograde Intracellular transport: RER to cis-Golgi  
🗑
Clathrin: Function   Extracellular/lysosomal transport: -lysosome: trans-Golgi to lysosome -trans-Golgi to plasma membrane to endosomes (for receptor mediated endocytosis)  
🗑
Microtubules: Diameter   24 nm  
🗑
Microtubules: Structure   13 dimers of alpha/beta tubulin per circumference (each dimer bound to GTP), repeated in helical configuration  
🗑
Microtubules: Found in ?   -Flagella -Cilia -Mitotic spindles -Slow neuronal axoplasmic transport  
🗑
Microtubules: Speed of growth and collapse   Grows slowly and collapses quickly  
🗑
Microtubules: Affected by which drugs?   -Mebendazole/thiabendazole (antihelminthic) -Taxol (anti-breast cancer) -Griseofulvin (anti-fungal) -Vincristine/Vinblastine (anti-cancer) -Colchicine (anti-gout)  
🗑
Microtubule polymerization defects: Found in what syndrome   Chediak-Higashi syndrome  
🗑
Chediak-Higashi syndrome   Microtubule polymerization defect resulting in decreased phagocytosis  
🗑
Cilia: Structure   -9+2 arrangement of microtubule doublets -The 9 peripheral doublets are linked by dynein atpase  
🗑
Cilia: Mechanism   The 9 peripheral doublets are linked by dynein atpase, which causes bending of cilium by differential sliding of doublets  
🗑
Molecular motors and direction of transport in cell   Dynein: retrograde (DIES back towards nucleus) Kinesin: anterograde (MOVES kinetically forward)  
🗑
Kartagener's syndrome: Defect   Dynein arm defect causing immotile cilia  
🗑
What is phosphatidylcholine also known as?   lecithin  
🗑
Kartagener's syndrome: Presentation   -Male infertility (immotile sperm) -Female infertility (immotile fallopian cilia) -Bronchiectasis and recurrent sinusitis (bacteria and particles not pushed out) -Situs inversus  
🗑
What syndrome is situs inversus associated with?   Kartagener's  
🗑
Plasma membrane: composition   -Cholesterol (~50%) -Phospholipids (~50%) -Sphingolipids -Glycolipids -Proteins  
🗑
What is lecithin also known as?   phosphatidylcholine  
🗑
Plasma membrane: melting temperature association   High cholesterol or long saturated fatty acid content means increased melting temperature  
🗑
Where is phosphatidylcholine found?   Major component of: 1. RBC membranes 2. myelin 3. bile 4. surfactant (DPPC- dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine)  
🗑
Drugs that inhibit the sodium-potassium pump   -Ouabain -Cardiac glycosides (digoxin, digitoxin)  
🗑
Ouabain: Mechanism   Inhibits Na-K atpase by binding to K site.  
🗑
What process uses phosphatidylcholine?   Esterification of cholesterol with LCAT (lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase)  
🗑
Cardiac glycosides: Mechanism   Inhibits Na-K atpase, increasing cardiac contractility  
🗑
