The Cell

Stack #192261

QuestionAnswer
Glycolysis Splits glucose into 2 molecules of ATP (anaerobic)
Diffusion Substances move from higher to lower concentration
Osmosis Movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane
Faciliated Diffusion Substances move through with help of carrier - passive process
Active Transport Requires cell to expend energy in moving ions against concentrated gradient.
Endocytosis Cells engulf material from surrounding medium.
Pinocytosis Small particles are ingested.
Phagocytosis Large particles are engulfed.
Exocytosis Removal of large particles from cell
3 classes of receptor proteins Ion channel(mediated by neurotransmitters) G-Protein linked receptors:(on-off switch to convert external signals into internal signals. Enzyme linked receptors:Interact with hormones to start activity of ICF enzyme.
Membrane Potentials Potential difference in charge across cell membrane. Inside of cell is negative in relation to outside. Present in virtually all cells. Used to transmit signals along nerve and muscle membranes. Glandular cells signal release of hormones.
Diffusion Potential Membrane potential generated when Na or K is diffused across a membrane: It is negative on the inside when K diffuses from the inside to the outside of the membrane:It is positive when Na diffuses from outside to the inside of the membrane:
Resting Membrane Potential Excitable tissue,such as nerve, is not transmitting impulses. Resting cell is more permeable to K.K concentration is 140 mEq/L inside and 4mEq/L outside.Causes K to diffuse out leaving inside of cell negative. activates sodium-potasium pump.
Sodium-Potassium Pump Removes 3 Na from inside returns 2 K to the inside.
Most abundant tissue Connective
Filaments in muscles Actin - Myosin
Two types of Nervous cell Neurons - Glial
Two division of nervous system CNS (brain and spinal cord) & PNS
Apoptosis Removal of injured or worn out cells.
Cellular Atrophy Shrinking cell occurs with a decrease in work demands.
Cellular Hypertrophy Increase in cell size r/t increasing work demands.
Hyperplasia Increase in number of cells.
Cell injury can result in: Uncontrolled free radical production Impaired O2 delivery Uncontrolled ICF calcium release
Metaplasia Occurs in response to chronic irritation - it is a substitution to cells of a type better able to survive.
Dysplagia Deranged cell growth Vary in size, shape, appearance - Pre-cancerous
Pathological Calcification Deposits of calcium salts in dead or dying tissue.
Hypoxia Lack of oxygen
Physiology The study of chemical and physical processes of the living organism.
Pathophysiology The study of disease processes.
Body Hierarchy Organism -System Organs -Tissues Cells
Smallest structural unit Cells
Three Fluid Compartments Plasma Interstitial Intracellular
Plasma Carries oxygen and nutrients to the cell and carries waste away.
Interstitial Fluid Exchange medium for substances moving between cell and plasma fluid
Extracellular Fluid (ECF) is composed of... Plasma and interstitial fluid.
Intracellular Fluid (ICF) Provides the liquid environment for chemical reactions in the cell.
Homeostasis Maintenance of fluid constancy and demands by supply of nutrients, removal of waste, and maintaining a fluid environment.
Cellular metabolism Energy production that takes place in the mitochondria.
Metabolic Absorption Taking in of nutrients
Secretion New substances made from nutrients
Reproduction Tissue growth, maintenance and repair
Cell Membrane Outer boundary of cell - Selectively permeable. Made of lipids (mostly) has cellular receptors (protein molecules) that bind with ligands
Ligands hormones, antigens, neuro-transmitters that bind with cellular receptors
Organelles Structures within the cytoplasm of the cell
Name 6 different types of organelles Ribosomes, Endoplasmic Reticulum, Golgi, Lysosomes, Mitochondria, Nucleus
Ribosomes protein synthesis
Endoplasmic reticulum smooth and rough channels entending from nucleus, rough channels contain ribosomes.
Golgi apparatus packages and transports proteins
Lysosomes sac like structures for digesting
Mitochondria Powerhouse of cell, converts O2 & nutrients to energy (ATP)
Nucleus Governs reproductive processes
Name 4 types of chemical signaling Endocrine,Paracrine,Autocrine,Synaptic
Endocrine Hormones
Paracrine Local chemicals, local communication
Autocrine Self communication of cell
Synaptic Neuro-transmitters
Cellular need for nutrients is dependant on: Supply and utilization
Cellular supply is dependant on: Ingestion Digestion Absorption Transport
Cell utilization of nutrients is dependant on: Enzymes (proteins) Co-enzymes (non protein)
Anabolism Storage of CHO, fats, proteins, amino acids, vitamins, ect. (LIVER)
Glycogen Extra glucose that is stored in long chain molecules.
Glycogenis The process of making glycogen
Lipogenesis excess glucose that is stored as fat after enough glycogen is made
Catabolism Breakdown of CHO, fats, proteins, amino acids, vitamins.
Glycogenolysis Breakdown of glycogen to glucose
Lipolysis Breakdown of fat to glycerol then converted to glucose by gluconeogenesis
Deamination Breakdown of protein then converted to glucose by gluconeogenesis
Name 3 plasma proteins Albumin, Globulin, Fibrinogen
Where are plasma proteins made Liver
Albumin PLASMA PROTEIN (Water and solute balance)
Globulin PLASMA PROTEIN Immunity
Fibrinogen Clotting
3 phases of cellular metabolism Digestion (first phase) Glycolysis (2nd phase)Citric Acid Cycle, (Krebs Cycle) (3rd phase)
Glycolysis Splitting of glucose (2nd phase)
The splitting of glucose in glycolysis yeilds what? Pyruvic acid
Erythropoietin Hormone produced by kidney. Released into the bloodstream to bone marrow for RBC production. Triggered by depressed levels of plasma O2
Glycolyisis can occur in the absence of O2 however it quickly becomes what? Lactic Acid
If O2 is adequate in glycolysis pyruvic acid is converted to what? Acetyl CoA
Citric Acid Cycle is also called what? Krebs Cycle
Which phase is the cytric acid cycle? 3rd phase
Is the cytric acid cycle aerobic or anaerobic Aerobic
What is the energy called that is released in the citric acid cycle ATP
60% of the ATP energy in the citric acid cycle is used for what? To maintain core body temperature
Once ATP energy is used it becomes what? ADP
ADP releases what? Hydrogen, CO2, and H2O
The Citric Acid Cycle changes acetyl CoA into what CO2 and H2O
On an erythrocyte the majority of O2 is attached to what? Outside surface of Hgb
Globin Plasma protein essential for immunity
How many hemaglobin molecules are on each RBC 4
The majority (75%) of CO2 travels as what? HCO3 (sodium bicarb)
Carbamino-hemoglobin CO2 attaches to protein portion of Hgb (25%), travels to the alveoli and is exhaled as CO2
Chloride Shift The waste products of metabolism CO2 and H2O travel to the RBC;CO2 + H2O combine to form H2CO3 (carbonic acid);H2CO3 breaks down into HCO3 and H+;H+ connects with Cl- to stabilize the reaction;HCO3 travels to the kidney for acid/base balance
The majority of CO2 travels as ? HCO3
