Medical Cell Biology

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Components/character of a cell membrane   Phospholipid bilayer, cholesterol, proteins. Asymmetric  
🗑
Membrane lipids   Phosphotidylcholine, phosphotidylserine, phosphotidylethanolamine, phosphotidylinositol, and sphingomyelin  
🗑
Membrane lipids found in the outer leaflet   Phosphotidylcholine and sphingomyelin  
🗑
Membrane lipids found in the inner leaflet   phosphotidylserine, phosphotidylethanolamine, and phosphotidylinositol  
🗑
Which membrane lipid should never be in the outer leafleat   Phosphotidylserien. Unless it is for RBC 120 days break down or for platelet aggregation  
🗑
Glycolipids   Made in the Golgi, carbohydrate that is EXCLUSIVELY attached on the outter leaflet, blood group antigen recognition  
🗑
Cholesterol   Help maintain structural integrity of plasma membrane at extrem temperature. Less cholesterol = more fluidity. More cholesterol = more rigid.  
🗑
Lipid Turnover   Remodelling or repairing damage from endocytosis, exocytosis, oxidative damage, ROS attacking polyunsaturated fatty acids.  
🗑
Phospholipase A2 (PLA2)   Hydrolyzes phospholipids into lysophospholipid (LPL). FA + Coenzyme A = FattyCoA. LPL + FattyCoA = New Phospholipid  
🗑
PLA2 in arachidonic acid hydrolysis   PLA2 hydrolysis phospholipids --> arachidonic acid. 1) Arachidonic acid --> 5-lipoxygenase --> Leukotrienes 2) Arachidonic acid --> cycloxygenase --> PGH2 --> Prostaglandins and thromboxanes  
🗑
What inhibits the COX enzyme?   aspirin  
🗑
Phospholipase C   PLC generates DAG for signal transduction. GPCR can activate PLC which then leads to the production of DAG and IP3  
🗑
Flippase   ATP dependent. Outer to inner (unity directional)  
🗑
Scramblase   ATP independent. Ca+2 activated. Always flip things from inside to outside. Brings PS on the outer surface  
🗑
What is the consequence of a non functioning Ca+2 ATpase   Cannot pump out excess Ca. Influx of Ca inside cell will stimulate scramblase. Scramblase will bring PS on the outer leaflet  
🗑
Active scramblase + Flippase   minimal PS exposure  
🗑
Active scramblase + deactivated flippase   Exposure of PS on outer surface In case of sickle cell anemia, PS should not be on the outer leaflet. This causes cells to stick together  
🗑
Lipid Raft   Region of cell membrane where lipids and proteins enriched. Decreased membrane cholesterol leads to melting of lipid raft  
🗑
Lipids   Cholesterol, sphingolipids, sphingomyelin and glycolipids  
🗑
Integral Membrane Proteins   Integral membrane proteins don't flip flop. They can either be single pass or multipass  
🗑
Single pass integral membrane protein   Membrane spanning region: hydrophobic. Regions in cytosol and outside cell: hydrophilic. Example glycophorin A  
🗑
Multi-pass integral membrane proteins   Includes transporters, ion channels. Membrane spanning regions may include polar or charged amino acids. Example Band 3  
🗑
Peripheral Membrane Protein   Associated through ionic interaction with an integral or another peripheral membrane protein  
🗑
Diffusion   Small, hydrophobic or hydrophilic molecules can diffuse through membrane according to their concentration gradient (N2, O2, EtOH, Urea)  
🗑
Osmosis   Water movement (hyperosmotic, hypoosmotic, iso-osmotic)  
🗑
Aquaporins   Used for transport of water, leading cause of cataract in children, Integral membrane proteins, Defects can lead to nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, congenital cataracts in children  
🗑
Donnan Effect   The presence of large molecules on one side balances the greater concentration of a certain ion on the other side. Na+ moves in, water follows, cell burst.  
🗑
How is the Donnan Effect balanced?   Na+/K+ATpase by pumping out 3 Na+ ions and take 2K+  
🗑
Facilitated Transport   Facilitated transport is required when molecules are too large.  
🗑
GLUT   Facilitated transporter. Used for glucose transport.Pri  
🗑
2 types of Active Transport   Primary and Secondary Active transport  
🗑
Primary active transport   Movement of molecules across a membrane against its concentration gradient. Need ATP  
🗑
Secondary active transport   Movement of molecule 1 across a membrane using free energy derived from transport of molecules 2 down the electrochemical gradient; co-transport  
🗑
Primary Active Transport   Na/K ATPase. Transport 3 Na+ ions out of cell and 2 K+ ions into cell uses 1 ATP.  
🗑
Ouabain and digitalis   inhibits Na/K ATPase pump. Increases [Na+] and [Ca2+]. Increases contractile activity  
🗑
Symport   Same direction. Example Na/Glucose (or amino acid) symport (SGLT)  
🗑
Antiport   Opposite direction. Example: Na/Ca  
🗑
CFTR defect   Accumulation of Cl- ions outside of cell. Sweat test will show elevated level of Cl-  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
