antiport
Membrane potential is maintained by?
sodium potassium pump
The special type of vesicular transport that moves droplets of extracellular fluid into the cell is called?
pinocytosis

In cystic fibrosis, the cilia become embedded in sticky mucus due to a malfunction of the?
chloride pump
When blood pressure in capillaries forces water and dissolved solutes out into the tissue fluid, this is called?
filtration
The net movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration is called?
diffusion

Insulin is removed from the bloodstream by the endothelial cells by which of the following methods?
receptor mediated endocytosis
Membrane proteins that aid in communications from other cells are:
receptors
These increase a cell's external surface area and are found on intestinal cells:
microvilli
Where the extracellular fluid is more highly concentrated than the intracellular fluid, we may say it is:
hypertonic
By what method can the intestinal cells absorb sodium ions if they are in higher concentration inside the cell?
active transport
Large molecules, such as insulin, may be transported through cells by this specific process:
receptor mediated endocytosis
what are the flat-shaped cells found covering the skin called?
