        Help!  

Question
Answer
nucleus of prokaryotes   single, circular xome  
🗑
charac of eukaryotes   membrane bound organelles, well defined nucleus with nuclear env and nucleolus----histones for DNA folding  
🗑
Cellular fxns   Movement Conductivity Metabolic absorption Secretion Excretion Respiration Communication  
🗑
eukaryotic cytoplasm   Cytoplasmic matrix Cytosol Function Cytoplasmic organelles  
🗑
ribosome fxn   RNA protein complexes Free ribosomes Attached ribosomes  
🗑
Endoplasmic reticulum fxn   Site of protein synthesis Smooth vs. rough endoplasmic reticulum  
🗑
Gogli complex   Flattened, smooth membranes Secretory vesicles Proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum are packaged in the Golgi complex Cisternae  
🗑
lysosomes   Originate from the Golgi Hydrolases, lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates Role in autodigestion  
🗑
peroxisomes   Contain oxidative enzymes Break down substances into harmless products  
🗑
mitochondria   Surrounded by a double membrane Participate in oxidative phosphorylation Increased inner membrane surface area provided by cristae  
🗑
cytoskeleton   Bones and muscles” of the cell Maintains the cell’s shape and internal organization Permits movement of substances within the cell and movement of external projections Microtubules Centrioles Microfilaments  
🗑
plasma membrane   phosopholipid bilayer of ---phospholipids, glycolipids and cholesterol  
🗑
pmem protein typs   integral---peripheral---transmembrane  
🗑
function of pmem   Receptors Transport Enzymes Surface markers Adhesion molecules  
🗑
fluid mosaic model   lipid bilyer provides basic structure and relatively IMPERMEABLE barrier to most water soluble molecules  
🗑
raft phospholipids   richer supply of cholesterol an surround regions and form RIGID floating platforms in surface of membrane  
🗑
name 4 proteolytic cascades   caspase mediated apoptosis---blood coagulation cascade---matrix metalloproteinase cascade---complement cascade  
🗑
cell-to-cell adhesions bwo extracellular matrix produced by   fibroblasts, includes collagen---elastin---fibronectin  
🗑
cell-to-cell adhesions include   cell junctions = desmosones---tight junctions---gap junctions  
🗑
another form of cell-to-cell adhesions   gating  
🗑
cellular communication by   direct link---gap jxn---hormonal signals---neurohormonal signals (paracrine/autocrine)---ntrans  
🗑
signal transduction - by extracellular first messengers like Na/K exchange   convey instructions to cell interior ---transfer, amplify, distribute, modulate  
🗑
signal transduction also by channel regulation ----and these two 2nd messenger pathways   cAMP----Ca++-----take home message of all signalling is that it alters the shapes of proteins that bring about a cellular response  
🗑
ATP is created from   chemical energy contained within organic molecules----TRANSFERS energy from one molecule to another  
🗑
where does oxidative phosphorylation take place   mitocondria  
🗑
where does glycolosis occur?   in the cytoplasm  
🗑
what do vaults do?   transport mRNA from nucleus to ribosomes  
🗑
take home message signal transduction   ligand binds---relays/amplifies (2nd messenger)/divergence----regulation of gene expression ---effects metabolism---changes cytoskeleton  
🗑
membrane transport - obvious are diffusion and filtration - who does osmosis roll   movement of water down a concentration gradient - related to hydrostatic pressure and solute concentrations  
🗑
osmolality   mOsm/kgH20---preferred clinically---normal value 280-294 mOsm/kg  
🗑
osmolarity   mOsm/L of soln  
🗑
osmotic pressure   amount of hydrostatic pressure required to oppose the osmotic movement of water  
🗑
osmole   unit of osmotic pressure = to that produced by an amount of solute that dissociates--> 1 mole of particles (Avogadro's #)  
🗑
oncotic/colloidal osmotic pressure   the osmotic effect of colloids, like plasma proteins. Draws water back into venous end of a capillary----decreased oncotic pressure can't hold onto water, which goes into tissues/edema  
🗑
what molecules can readily diffuse down the concentration gradient from ECF to ICF   02, N, H20, urea, glycerol, C02  
🗑
large molecules such as glucose/sucrose are too large to pass even though they are uncharged. These ions can't pass through pores with identical charges (repelled) and need specialized channels to get into cell   H+---Na+---HC03- --- Ca++ ---Cl- ---Mg++  
🗑
potocytosis is that pesky form of transport by vesicle formation bwo of this outer survace structure   bwo the caveolae, which uptakes the molecule like a specialized lipid raft  
🗑
the conformational-change model of mediated transport = facilitated diffusion   is the ping-pong model where the solute binds ---protein changes shape to 'pong' the the solute across the membrane  
🗑
the channel mode of mediated transport/facilitated diffusion   channel protein forms a water filled poer across the bilayer through which specific ions can diffuse  
🗑
mediated transport is the simultaneous movement using these 3 systems   uniport---symport---antiport  
🗑
Active transport in the Na/K pump - requires 02 to run properly   3 Na out---2 K in---1 ATP spend  
🗑
place RBC in hypotonic soln of pure water, it will   swell or burst  
🗑
place RBC in hypertonic soln of 18% saline, it will   shrink or creatinize  
🗑
meiosis   reproduction of gametes  
🗑
mitosis has 2 phases   phase 1 is nuclear division---phase 2 is cytokinesis  
🗑
the cell cycle has phases of mitosis (as above) and interphase where . . .   most of the work preparing for division occurs  
🗑
stages of interphase include G-zero, G-1, S and G-2   G-1 = gap phase of presynthesis---S= synthesis of DNA----G2= RNA/pro synth----M=mitosis/cytokinesis----G-zero takes a rest  
🗑
what does a growth factor actually do - EGF & TGF-alpha stimulate cell cycle   it binds to a receptor to induce the cell cycle. breast cancer has too much estrogen, which serves as growth factor---or could have faulty receptor that is active w/o a growth factor  
🗑
growth factors influence cell cycle, 2 more examples are   cytokines and platelet derived (PDGF)  
🗑
cells become tissue bwo these processes   founder cells --- chemotxis----contact guidance---cellular reproduction  
🗑
epithelial tissue, comes in simple vs. stratified in these flavors   squamous---cuboidal---columnar---pseudostratified. Some are ciliated and/or with microvilli  
🗑
types of connective tissue   ground substance---fibers---loose and dense CT----elastic and reticular CT---cartilage, bone, vascular, adipose and organs  
🗑


   

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.
