🗑
Cytoskeleton   Cell shape  
🗑
Microtubules   Maintain patency (openness) Ex. nerve axon Allow asymmetric cell shape.  
🗑
3 Roles of Microtubules   1. Transport of secretory vesicles (axon flow) by mc motors. 2. Give shape to cilia & flagella 3. Mitotic spindles.  
🗑
2 Mc Motors   1. Kinesin 2. Dynein  
🗑
Dynein   Distal to prox Ex. Debris & waste for removal to cell body.  
🗑
Kinesin   Prox to distal  
🗑
Microfilaments   Smallest Most cmn: myosin & actin  
🗑
2 fxn's of Microfilaments:   1. Contractile mechs 2. Enhance cell structure & stability  
🗑
Actin   Exs. 1. Contractile ring during cytokinesis 2. Myofibroblasts- wound closure  
🗑
Intermediate-filaments   Stability & Resistance to ext applied stress.  
🗑

🗑
Epidermolysis bullosa   skin  
🗑
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis   motor neuron degeneration  
🗑
Endoplasmic Reticular   Fxn: to make protein & lipid Rough ER (& ribosomes): synth proteins for secretion or int membr support; synth lipids for new membranes.  
🗑
Smooth ER   purpose: packing & discharging from ER  
🗑
Golgi comples   Fxn: further processing releases secretory vesicles through exocytosis  
🗑
2 important steps that occur in the Golgi Complex   1. Raw mats processed into finished prod 2. Sorting finished prods to final destination  
🗑
Lysosomes   Sacs of hydrolytic enzymes Clean up crew digest old organelles & their wastes, prods, etc... Phagocytosis  
🗑
3 types of endocytosis:   1. pinocytosis 2. phagocytosis 3. Receptor-mediated endocytosis  
🗑
Phagocytosis   lg particles pseudopods extend from membr to engulf particle  
🗑
Receptor-mediated endocytosis   binding signals internalization of membr  
🗑
Peroxisomes   Oxidative enzymes & catalase oxidize waste prods  
🗑

🗑
Channel Membrane Proteins   membrane spanning; water-sol subs only; ions; small  
🗑
Carrier Molecule   trans specific subs unable to pass independently through channel proteins; lg; vs. conc grad or not.  
🗑
Docking marker acceptors   dock & lock incoming secretory vesicles  
🗑

🗑
Gap jxns   tunnels that facilitate passage or rapid comm btwn cells  
🗑
Mobilization   breakdwn of lipid at storage site into FFA's; stim'd by hormone sensitive lipase- release from storage for mobilization; HAL is inhibited by high insulin or high blood glucose levels  
🗑
Uptake (into cell)   Specific receptors for FFA on the sacrolemma (Fatty acid binding protein- FABP)  
🗑
Activation   occurs in cytoplasm; raises energy level of FA to prep for entry to metab; costs 2 ATP  
🗑
Translocation   transfer across mitochondrial membr by carnitine  
🗑


   

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.
