What is the difference between cytoplasm and cytosol? - Answer>>Cytoplasm is all the material of the cell except for the nucleus. Cytosol is the liquid portion of the cell; intracellular fluid (IFC) Cell Organelles - Answer>>Membraneous:
  • lysosomes- vesicles filled enzymes that digest bacteria
  • peroxisomes- vesicles filled enzymes that digest fatty acids
  • Golgi complex- modify and package proteins
  • nucleus- contains DNA, directs function of the cell
  • nucleolus- contains gene that directs synthesis of RNA
  • Rough endoplasmic reticulum- site of protein synthesis
  • Smooth endoplasmic reticulum- synthesis of lipids, steroids, fatty acids; phospholipids produced here; stores Ca++
  • Ribosomes- assemble amino acids to proteins Non-membraneous: those made from RNA and protein (ribosomes and vaults) and those made from insoluble protein fibers Cytoskeleton- provides strength and support, position of organelles, transport of material, cell linkage, cell motility.
  • microtubules
  • intermediate filaments- has variable protein composition includes keratin in hair and myosin in muscle
  • microfilaments- thinnest, made from actin
  • microvilli- for increased surface
  • cytosol- gelatinous substance that cushions organelles, contains wastes, dissolved nutrients, ions Cell membrane: bilayer phospholipid molecule with inserted protein; acts as gateway for and barrier to movement of material between cell and extracellular fluid (ECF). inclusions - Answer>>things that are found in a cell but do not need to be there; eg. glycogen, melanin Fluid mosaic model - Answer>>model of membrane as double layer phospholipid with proteins inserted into the layer. Carbohydrates attach themselves to proteins and lipids in the

How many phospholipid bilayers will a substance cross passing into a cell? Passing from one side to the other of the pericardial epithelium? - Answer>>A substance crosses one phospholipid bilayer to enter a cell and two passing the pericardial epithelium. What is the function of motor proteins? - Answer>>They convert stored energy into directed movement.

  • myosin - binds to actin fibers
  • kinesins - associated with movement along microtubules
  • dyneins - associated with microtubule bundles of cilia and flagella Name the 3 categories of cell junctions. - Answer>>• Gap junctions (communicating): simplest; pass chemical and electrical signals; regulate movement of molecules by open and closing channels
  • Tight junctions(occluding): restricts movement of material, have degrees of "leakiness", blood- brain barrier
  • Anchoring junctions (anchoring): attaches cell to extracellular matrix
  • Desmosomes (anchoring): like anchoring junction but attach to intermediate filaments of cytoskeleton; strongest of cell-cell junctions. What is the law of mass balance? - Answer>>amount of substance in the body is to remain constant; gain must be offset by equal loss. Substances whose concentrations are maintained through mass balance include O2, CO2, salts, pH or H+ substance load= intake + production + excretion + metabolism ethanol and garlic in breath, hair analysis are manifestations of law of mass balance. What is mass flow? - Answer>>movement of substance from one compartment of the body to another; applies to entry, production and removal of substances Mass flow = concentration x volume flow (x/min) = (x/vol) (vol/min)

Where are Na, Cl, HCO3-, K, Ca found in the body? - Answer>>Concentrations of Na, Cl, HCO3- are higher in ECF. K and Ca in ICF. Proteins and other large anions are almost absent from the interstitial fluid because they are unable to cross the endothelium. Proteins are concentrated in the plasma. Knowing... Plasma concentration will tell you ECF concentrations, so it cannot tell you ICF concentration. Water concentration won't tell you much because body is in osmotic equilibrium. Protein concentration can be determined knowing plasma concentration, but not ECF nor ICF. Passive transport - Answer>>movement across a membrane that does not depend on outside source of energy. Active transport - Answer>>movement across a membrane that requires outside source of energy. What properties of a molecule influence its movement across cell membranes? - Answer>>size and lipid solubility Small size and lipid soluble pass through easily. Larger size and lesser lipid soluble need specific membrane protein for transport. Very large lipophobic molecules cannot be transported on proteins and must enter and leave cells in vesicles.

  • endocitosis - indents and forms small vesicles (active transport)
  • exocytosis - vesicles move to cell membrane, fuse and release (active transport)
  • receptor-mediated endocytosis Name 2 ways active transport by Na+K+ ATPase differs from secondary transport by the SGLT. - Answer>>ATPase is an antiporter, SGLT is a symporter. ATPase requires energy , SGLT uses stored energy in the Na+ concentration gradient. Transepithelial transport of glucose - Answer>>movement of glucose from lumen of kidney tubule or intestine to ECF. Involves 3 transport systems: SGLT mediated secondary active transport of glucose with Na+ from lumen into epithelial cell, followed by movement of both Na+ and glucose out of the cell and into EECF on basolateral side of cell. Na+ moves out of primary active transport via Na+K+ ATPase, and glucose leaves cell by facilitated diffusion on GLUT carriers (see image)
