distribution of molecules within membrane, phospholipids automatically reassemble, can fuse to hold cells together
fluidity allows
75 phospholipids, 5 glycolipids, 20 cholesterol
membrane lipids
phospholipids
polar philic heads and nonpolar philic tails
glycolipids
lipids with polar sugar groups on outer membrane surface; a carbohydrate attached to lipid on surface used for cell identification
cholesterol
interspersed among phospholipids; amount determines fluid nature; increase membrane stability and function
membrane proteins
allow cell communication with environment
integral
firmly inserted into membrane
most are transmembrane
have phobic and philic regions
transport, enzymes and receptors
peripheral
loosely attached to integral
include filaments on IC surface for plasma membrane support
enzymes, motor, cell to cell, part of glycocalyx
glycocalyx
consists of sugars sticking out of cell surface; a bio marker for cell cell recognition; allows immune system to recognize self v non self
tight
integral protein that forms impermeable junction that encircles the whole cell via interlocking proteins; prevent fluids from moving in between cells in extracellular space
blood brain barrier, digestive tract
tight junctions found
desmosomes
rivet like formed when linker proteins of neighboring cells interlock like a zipper; allow give between cells, reduce tearing under tension
skin, cardiac muscle
desmosomes found
gap
transmembrane proteins form tunnels that allow small molecules to pass from cell to cell; used to spread ions, simple sugars, small molecules, and electrical signals between cells
cardiac and smooth muscle cells
gap junctions found
simple, facilitated, osmosis
types of diffusion
simple
non-polar lipids soluble substance diffuses directly through phospholipid bilayer
O2 CO2 fat-soluble vitamins
carrier
transmembrane integral protein that have SPECIFIC seats and change shape; become saturated when full; POLAR MOLECULES
channel
have aqueous filled cores formed by transmembrane proteins that open all the way through; aquaporins; DEPENDENT ON SIZE AND CHARGE
aquaporins
water channel proteins
osmosis
passive movement of water from high to low concentration
osmolarity
measure of total concentration of solute particles
osmotic pressure
tendency of water to move into the cell by osmosis; sucks water in; more solute means more pressure
hydrostatic
back pressure exerted on a membrane by the water. prevents water from entering; pushes water out
osmotic = hydrostatic
no net water movement
hypertonic solution
higher osmolarity in solution than cell; water flows out and crenates
hypotonic solution
lower osmolarity in solution than cell; water flows in and hemolysis
primary
active transport using Na K pump
secondary
active transport using charge differences
endocytosis, exocytosis, transcytosis
active vesicular transport
vesicular

endo
endocytosis
formation of protein coated vesicles; usually involves receptors and can be very selective; into cell
phago
cell eating via pseudopods; macrophages and other wbc
pino
cell drinking via plasma membrane folds
receptor mediated
picky eater
exocytosis
material is ejected from cell, cell pooping
transcytosis
transport into, across, and then out of cell
