1
New cards

extracellular environment

ISF and extracellular matrix work together to support cells outside its plasma membrane; regulates fluid & matrix for survival, communication, & balance

2
New cards

interstitial fluid

directly surrounds tissue cells that act as a bridge between blood capillaries and tissue cells

3
New cards

Extra cellular matrix

Provides structure balance communication to the cell

4
New cards

Membrane transport

Plasma membrane phospholipid by allows for exchange in substances with outside world via passive and active transport

5
New cards

passive transport

No ATP used, moves from high to lower concentration until equilibrium is reached

6
New cards

Simple diffusion

Very small and lipophilic substances can cross through membrane; lipids dissolved in lipids

7
New cards

rate of diffusion

Depends on concentration gradient between two areas and temperature showing kinetic energy; high temp= high movement= high rate

8
New cards

facilitated diffusion

Uses carrier proteins to move bigger or charged substances through plasma membrane

9
New cards

channel mediated transport

Channels and membrane that always open allowing substances to move in or out, depending on concentration gradient

10
New cards

carrier mediated transport

Proteins on cell surface, if substance can't fit in carrier, it won't go through to the cell.


11
New cards

Transport maximum

The most amount of carrier proteins on the cell surface limiting how much substance can be brought in or out of the cell allow, allowing for saturation

12
New cards

osmosis

Movement of water from high to low

13
New cards

Tonicity

Solutions ability to change size of cell based on concentration of solutes includes isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic

14
New cards

isotonic

The concentration outside= concentration inside the cell allowing cell to stay the same

15
New cards

hypotonic

Concentration outside cell<concentration inside cell so we expands until hemolysis; burst

16
New cards

hypertonic

Concentration outside the cell> concentration inside cell, so which shovels until cremation

17
New cards

active transport

Movement of substances against the concentration gradient; lower to high using ATP

18
New cards

primary active transport

Directly uses ATP to pump substance against their concentration gradient, like the calcium pump and sodium potassium pump

19
New cards

secondary active transport

Doesn't directly use ATP uses an ion moving with its concentration gradient to drive a molecule attached to it against its gradient; SYMPORT and antiport

20
New cards

Symport

both the driver ion and transported molecule move in the same direction

21
New cards

antiport

The driver ion and transported molecule moves in opposite direction, one going in and other going out

22
New cards

the secular transport

Transportation, moving large molecules, a large amount of fluid through membrane within bicycles, using ATP to remodel cell cytoskeleton and membrane

23
New cards

endocytosis

The process of taking molecules and by turning cell membrane inside out, resulting in phagocytosis pinocytosis or receptor mediated endocytosis

24
New cards

phagocytosis

Cell eating; cell membrane and golfs large molecules and kills it

25
New cards

pinocytosis

Cell drinking; no specific target it takes samples “sips”of fluid, taking whatever dissolved substances that were in the fluid

26
New cards

receptor mediated endocytosis

Highly specific, ligand binds to receptor to trigger membrane to clean or pinch off into vesicles

27
New cards

exocytosis

The process of moving molecules out of the cell

28
New cards

cell to cell communication

Certain junction that connect cells to other cells to form tissues involves tight junction, desmosomes, and gap junction

29
New cards

tight junction

Made up of proteins, Claudine and a clothing to form kiss sites only allowing small molecules to pass through

30
New cards

Desmosomes

made up of keratin and cadherin proteins forming point of attachments and cells to resist cell tearing apart

31
New cards

gap junctions

Made up a protein connexons creating barrel shaped transporters, allowing molecules to move from one cell to another almost instantaneously, mainly with ions

32
New cards

local communication

Involves contact electrical and chemical signals with paracrine and autocrine

33
New cards

contact signaling

Cells divide until it hits neighboring cells

34
New cards

electrical signaling

Allows passage of ions through gap junction from one cell to the next

35
New cards

chemical signaling

Release molecules and extra cellular fluid to disperse their neighboring cells using paracrine and autocrine

36
New cards

Paracrine in chemical signaling

Releases chemical signals to target neighboring cells of different types

37
New cards

autocrine in chemical signals

Release chemical messengers to bind to neighboring cell of the same kind of receptors

38
New cards

long distance communication

Involves the use of chemical, signaling with neurotransmitters, neuromodulators and neurohormones, and electric electrical signaling

39
New cards

Neurotransmitters

Substance secreted by neuron to act on neurons and affect our organs

40
New cards

neuromodulators

Substance created that ultra cells functioning; increasing or decreasing

41
New cards

Neurohormones

Similar to neurotransmitters, but it release into the blood and travels in blood eventually finding target

42
New cards

electrical signaling in long distance communication

uses separation between membrane to communicate number of ions, and how fast and how much there are moving across the cell membrane

43
New cards

Ion channels

allows for ions to move through membrane, using leakage channels, ligand gated ion channels, and voltage gated ion channels

44
New cards

leakage channels

Poor in membrane that always open and moves passively

45
New cards

ligand gated ion channel

Channel opens when specifically binds to channel receptors

46
New cards

voltage, gated ion channels

Open when specific voltage level is reached in membrane; goes down concentration gradient from high

47
New cards

resting membrane potential in neurons

Electrical charge difference or voltage across the plasma. Membrane of resting neuron is typically -70 MV inside relative to the outside and is measured using volt meter inserted inside the neuron axon.

48
New cards

Depolarization

Change of plasma membrane becomes more positive and can lead to AP

49
New cards

hyperpolarization

Charge of membrane becomes more negative than resting potential

50
New cards

repolarization

charge of membrane return returns to its resting potential of -70 Mv

51
New cards

graded potential

Short electrical signals between neurons that requires stimulus until it slowly gets smaller and is by directional and can be hyper or depolarized

52
New cards

action potential

Nerve impulse that is a long-distance signal that travels further operates on and all or none system that must hit voltage minimum allowing the ion channel to open

53
New cards

Phases of action potential

Resting: neurons don't send electrical signal resting membrane potential at -70 Mv where sodium and potassium gates close

Depolarization phase: rising phase; threshold is met at membrane potential -50 to 55, AP will fully increase

repolarization: returns to resting potential; sodium Gates close

Hyperpolarization: potassium channels stay open a bit longer more potassium leave making MV more negative than resting MV showing an under shoot

54
New cards

relative Refractory period

Interval following absolute refractory phase when sodium gates are closed, potassium gates are open and repolarization occurs

55
New cards

absolute refractory period

Prevents overlap of AP generation making sure it's separate has one way communication of nerve impulses and cannot move back backwards

56
New cards

conduction velocities

61
New cards

excitatory, postsynaptic potentials or EPSPs

Graded potential that cause cells to become more positive without hitting threshold by graded potential, adding up to meet threshold

Once threshold is hit EPSP turns into action potential

62
New cards

inhibitory postsynaptic potential or IPSPs

Make some more negative or neuron can be exposed to both IPSPs and EPSPs

63
New cards
