|
|
What does permeability across the lipid bilayer depend on |
The amount of lipid solubility so the higher the better like alcohol lipids and VFAs, precise so smaller the size the better, polarity so if it has a charge it will not go through |
|
|
Describe active and passive forces needed to produce movement of particles across the membrane |
Passive forces do not require the cell to expend energy, active forces require cellular energy |
|
|
What are the types of diffusion across the membrane of a cell |
Diffusion Facilitated diffusion Osmosis Filtration Active Transport Vesicular transport |
|
|
Describe diffusion and how it may occur across the cell membrane |
where no energy is required, the molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration to reach equilibrium were there is no concentration gradient. Diffusion may occur if the concentration gradient occurs, it's substances or small enough like H2O sodium potassium and chlorine, if the substance is lipid soluble, if the electrical charge is negative (because the pores are lined with positive charge from the calcium and therefore there will be a repeal if the substance that is trying to get through is positive) |
|
|
Describe facilitated diffusion and how it occurs |
This is the protein mediated transport and needs some assistance. No energy is required. This one can transport small water soluble substances. The substance must have a concentration gradient along with a carrier protein to go through the membrane. This type of membrane transport involves a transmembrane protein that exposes The binding site to the higher concentration gradient and allows the solid to bind to The binding site then, like a door, the protein changes confirmation so that the binding site is exposed to the region of lower concentration |
|
|
Describe the mechanism by which glucose enters the cell and provide the reason why I cannot enter on its own |
Glucose is too large and is not lipid soluble therefore it needs transmembrane proteins to get across the membrane through what is known as facilitated diffusion. |
|
|
Describe osmosis and how it works. |
Osmosis is the net movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane. No energy is expended. Is dependent on osmotic pressure which is the force generated by any solute to which the membrane is not permeable. |
|
|
Define osmotic and hydrostatic pressure |
Osmotic pressure is the force generated by any solid to which the membrane is not permeable Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure that opposes osmosis. It is the force of water on the membrane |
|
|
Define tonicity |
The effect of solute concentration on cell volume |
|
|
Define isotonic, hypotonic, hypertonic solution |
Isotonic is where the osmotic pressure is the same on both sides of the cell membrane, hypotonic solution this weather is lower osmotic pressure than in normal cells, hypertonic solution is where there is higher osmotic pressure than a normal cells |
|
|
What happens when a cell is put into hypotonic, hypertonic, isotonic solution |
If the cell is put in hypotonic solution then the osmotic pressure is lower therefore the cell will increase in volume because there will be more solute inside the cell than outside the cell if the cell is put in hypertonic solution than the osmotic pressure is higher then in normal cells and therefore the cells will shrink because the water within the cell will have moved out If the cell is put in isotonic solution then the osmotic pressure is equivalent to that of a normal cell and the cell will remain the same |
|
|
Explain filtration which organs of the body use this method of membrane transportation |
Filtration uses gravity and or hydrostatic pressure gradient. It's speeds up diffusion and does not require energy, the kidneys use the filtration system |
|
|
How do kidneys use the filtration system |
Water and molecules like urea and glucose are filtered out of the blood under hydrostatic pressure where water is pulled back in by osmotic pressure and solutes by diffusion |
|
|
Describe active transport and how it works |
Active transport is used to move against the concentration gradient and this requires energy and proteins. Uses a sodium and potassium pump to maintain sodium and potassium cation concentration gradients across the plasma membrane. This helps to generate electrical signals and regulate cell volume. |
|
|
What is the process by which cells move big molecules into the cell non selectively |
Endocytosis |
|
|
Describe the two types of endocytosis |
Pinocytosis AKA cell drinking, non selectively moves large particles in fluid into the cell, the cell membrane then develops an indentation with fluid and closes around it creating a vesicle, this vesicle then goes into the lysosome where it will be ruptured and then used for nutrients Phagocytosis AK cell eating, gets rid of the bad products, the white blood cells engulf and destroy bacteria by sending out a pseudopod to engulf an old and dying red blood cell to get rid of it. |
|
|
What is the name of the vesicular transport in which a product is released out of the cell |
Exocytosis which is a secretory process meaning that it releases valuable products out of the cell an example of these large materials that need to go out of the cell would be hormones that are synthesized within the cell. The vesicles which have a lipid bilayer fuse with the cell membrane to release the valuable product out of the cell and into the body |
|
|
Describe facilitated diffusion and how it may occur across the cell membrane |
A protein mediated transport that does not require energy, it can transport small water soluble substances, must have a concentration gradient and a carrier protein in order to go through the membrane the type of protein it needs is a transmembrane protein known as a carrier protein which accepts the solute molecule into The binding site and then opens and releases the molecule on the opposite side of the membrane in the direction of the concentration gradient |
|
|
What are chondrocytes |
Chondrocytes are cells that form cartilage on which the osteoblasts lay down the bone matrix |
|
|
Describe the chemical composition of bone |
On a dry weight bases 25% of the osteoid matrix is made of collagen which is responsible for the tensile strength that allows the bone to resist sheering 75% of the bone is made up of minerals which is responsible for the compression strength. These minerals make up the hydroxyapatite crystals made of calcium and phosphorus which are either absorbed or adsorbed |
|
|
What is the difference between adsorbed and absorbed |
Adsorbed is extraneous solution that is just a thought to the bone matrix fortnite cama This is is where readily available Ca lies Absorbed is integrated as part of the collagen on the bone matrix |
|
|
Where are the hydroxyapatite crystals that contain calcium and phosphate located |
They are located on the collagen fibers in The osteoid matrix of the bone |
|
|
Which cells make up the bone and what are their functions |
Osteoblasts which are bone-forming cells that respond to the growth hormone and lay down bone matrix (osteoid) and collagen fibers Osteocytes which are mature bone cells that used to be osteoblast but got trapped in the bone matrix I no longer secrete bone matrix Osteoclasts which are the bone destroying cells that are able to digest the bone matrix. They are large, motile, and often multinucleated. They are bone reabsorbing cells and help supply the calcium to the body. They secrete acids that work to chew up the cells as well as collagenase which breaks down calcium |
|
|
What is the skeleton of an embryo composed of |
Cartilage and fibrous membrane which are shaped like bones and provide the precursor for ossification which continues into adulthood |
|
|
What are the three types of ossification |
Endochondral ossification, develops from cartilage Intramembranous ossification, direct bone formation Heteroplastic ossification, formed in tissue other than the skeleton |
|
|
Describe endochondral ossification |
It also flies normally on top of cartilage and mostly happens in the fetus but continues after birth. Bones grow in length at the epiphyseal plate. Most long bones grow by endochondral ossification |
|
|
What happens if endochondral ossification is delayed and if it is too fast |
If it is delayed than it is to slow and therefore the epiphyseal plates do not close up fast enough causing the bones to continue to grow causing gigantism. if it is too fast then the epiphyseal plates close up too soon and the bones stop growing early in life causing achondroplastic dwarf |
|
|
Describe intramembranous ossification |
Hear the bone is formed without cartilage. An example of this would be babies that have sutures on the school that will come together to harden and protect the brain but are soft so that the baby has to fit through the birth canal. this type of ossification is preformed in fibrous tissue that is later infiltrated with osteoid tissue. This is most common in flat bones like the skull the face and the mandible, and the scapula. Does ossification still has osteoblasts that lay down bone matrix |
|
|
Describe hydroplastic ossification |
This type of ossification is isolated to specific groups of animals. Here the bone is not part of the skeletal system. Examples of this would be Os Cordis and Os Penis |
|
|
From where does the body get calcium and phosphorus |
From the diet Calcium, dairy products like milk when you're young and forages like legumes alfalfa and supplements Phosphorus also from dairy products and meat and grains |
|
|
How is calcium absorbed and where is it absorbed |
Calcium is a hard to absorb cation and therefore requires vitamin D because it cannot be absorbed by itself, it is absorbed in the duodenum of the small intestine |
|
|
How is phosphate absorbed |
Phosphate is an easier absorbed and I on and is absorbed after the site of calcium absorption |
|
|
What is the ratio of calcium to phosphorus in dietary consumption |
2 to 1 ratio more calcium must have twice as much because you only get half of it |
|
|
Where in the body is calcium found |
About 50% of it is combined with plasma proteins, 5% is bound to organic material like citrate, and 45% of it is actually usable and diffusible, 4.5 mg per deciliter |
|
|
Where in the body is phosphorus found and how much is usable |
It is found throughout the body at 4.5 mg per deciliter and it is all usable on diffusible |
|
|
Through what process are hydroxyapatite crystals formed |
Through precipitation |
|
|
What cells inhibit ossification, how do scientists know this, and which cells produce materials that override the inhibitors |
Non bone cells like pyrophosphate and fibroblasts inhibit ossification and precipitation. Scientist know this because when they took collagen fibers and washed out the fibroblasts from these fibers and place them in a petri dish an added calcium and phosphorus, hydroxyapatite crystals formed. osteoblasts produce materials that override the inhibitors and allow for normal precipitation and ossification |
|
|
What are the functions of calcium |
It is a single most tightly regulated ion in the body Bone growth Nerve impulse transmission and muscle contraction Bone formation Blood clotting Second messenger systems like how the cell takes a signal and do something with it Milk formation Exocytosis which is induced by calcium Regulation of enzymes and hormones |
|
|
What are the functions of phosphorus |
Bone growth, milk production, producing energy in reactions, phospholipids, fossil proteins which of the active form of proteins, are the backbone of DNA and RNA |
|
|
How is calcium regulated in the body |
Through the endocrine system.
|
|
|
What is hypercalcemia and what happens |
Hypercalcemia is too much calcium. Usually causes a sluggish nervous system where the neuron channels are gated by the calcium and if the calcium is too high than the neuron cannot fire. Just causes constipation muscular weakness I'm calcium phosphate precipitation in the soft tissues which proves to be fatal |
|
|
What is hypocalcemia and what are some examples of hypocalcemia |
Hypocalcemia hyper excitability of nervous system is when the calcium levels are low. This means there is not enough calcium to block the channels which causes leaking of sodium into the cell causing the firing of action potential. Some examples of this would be tetany were there is no rest between pulses and leads to death. And milk fever where after the baby is born there's not enough calcium in the body because of how much milk is produced. This is also fatal unless given a special diet of low calcium before the baby is born to get the body to kick on its own mechanisms to be prepared for the new change |
|
|
How does the osteoclast work |
Osteoclasts release collagenase and acid which break down the collagen and solubilize the crystals to release calcium and phosphorus.the osteoclast forms an area of bone resorption underneath the apical membrane where enzymes are secreted to dissolve calcium phosphate in the bone. Osteoclasts have multiple nuclei in a wrinkled edge of the bottom known as the apical membrane |
|
|
What is osteoporosis |
Osteoporosis is bone loss and this occurs when the osteoclasts is uncontrolled and continues to break down bone without regulation |
|
|
Describe bone deposition, bone reabsorption, and bone remodeling |
Bone deposition and reabsorption happen only in adults Bone deposition: is done by the osteoblast that is controlled by the growth hormone, Bone reabsorption is done by the osteoclast that is controlled by the parathyroid hormone and the thyrocalcitonin Bone remodeling is adult repair and maintenance which is rebuilt every 10 years |
|
|
What is acromegaly |
Usually happens in a adults when a tumor that produces too much growth hormone and causes the bones to grow, however because the epiphyseal plate has already closed the bones cannot get taller and can only grow in density |
|
|
Which cells produce parathyroid hormone and where are they located |
Chief cells located on the parathyroid glands produce pth and read calcium levels in the blood |
|
|
Describe how the parathyroid hormone is made, what it looks like, and what it does |
It is an 84 amino acid polypeptide that is packaged in the Golgi into secretary vesicles and secreted by exocytosis. It is regulated by changes in the calcium which are detected through the calcium receptors on the chief cells. A decrease in calcium means an increase in parathyroid hormone. The osteoclast is the effector cell because the parathyroid hormone is affecting the osteoclasts by telling it to go. |
|
|
Explain the parathyroid mechanism of action |
The parathyroid membrane receptor receives the parathyroid hormone signal which activates the g protein relay which then ( along with ATP) activates the adenylate cyclase transmembrane protein to activate the second messenger (cAMP) which stimulates the PK to phosphorylate the proteins required for cell response which in this case is the release of acids and protolytic enzymes from the osteoclasts |
|
|
What are the parathyroid hormone effector organs |
The bone witch acts on osteoclasts, the kidney which is responsible for bone break down and also releases phosphate where the parathyroid hormone tells the kidney to excrete excess and retain calcium it also acts on cells in the renal proximal tubule of nephron to conserve calcium the small intestine which a source of calcium And he gut which is responsible for the absorption of calcium through vitamin D |
|
|
Which hormone counteracts the parathyroid hormone and where are the located |
Calcitonin produced from the parafollicular cells ( found nestled in the spaces between the follicles) on the thyroid gland. |
|
|
What happens when there is increased thyrocalcitonin |
There's a decrease in osteoclastic osteolysis There's also a decrease in vitamin D synthesis or the overall goal is to slow calcium uptake in the gut It increases urinary excretion of calcium and phosphorus This whole process is fast but short-term |
|
|
What is osteoclastic osteolysis |
Bone break down |
|
|
Describe the relationship between PTH and TCT |
Thyrocalcitonin stops osteoclastic osteolysis and is a rapid regulator of hypercalcemia if both pair of thyroid hormone and thyroid calcitonin are in the system together a high enough levels than the parathyroid hormone will override the thyrocalcitonin. This is known as the escape phenomenon. Parathyroid hormone is a day in and day out regulator wild thyrocalcitonin typically appears only after meals |
|
|
What are the three disorders in calcium metabolism that affect bone |
Hypoparathyroidism, excessive calcium demands, hyperparathyroidism. Hypoparathyroidism is were very little parathyroid gland, this means you can't utilize parathyroid hormone and therefore there is a drop in blood calcium which causes bone weakness and fractures as well as hypocalcemia that leads to tetany that leads to death. The treatment for this is a controlled diet to increase calcium and vitamin D Excessive calcium demands leads to milk fever also known as parturient parasis which leads to rapid loss of calcium in colostrum after birth. This decrease blood calcium will increase the parathyroid hormone and lead to tetany which leads to death because parathyroid can't fix calcium levels fast enough. You can avoid this by lowering the calcium in the diet a few weeks before Patricia and treat the animal with an intravenous slow drip of calcium gluconate Hyperparathyroidism this is where there is a problem with the gland or tumor cells are producing the hormone and do not respond to the normal turn off mechanism. This leads to increase parathyroid hormone which leads to osteoclastic osteolysis which then leads to an increased calcium. There's also nutritional hyperparathyroidism where there is either low dietary calcium or high dietary phosphorus or low vitamin D with the calcium. Many poisonous plants have calcium chelation, or might have a kidney disease where kidney does not excrete phosphorus and calcium phosphorus deposits crystals on the soft tissue which leads to renal rickets are the kidneys turn to Stone |
|
|
Describe the importance of vitamin D and what happens without it |
Vitamin D deficiency causes rickets a bone disease in children where the parathyroid hormone release increases causing phone break down. Vitamin D is stored in liver and is fat soluble |
|
|
What happens if the liver cannot make bile |
Then it cannot absorb fat-soluble vitamins like a, d, e, k. This leads to osteomalacia which is basically adult rickets |
|
|
What are some bone abnormalities |
Osteoporosis which is most common in postmenopausal women estradiol involved in bone formation where bones get weak and leads to Boeing of back the treatment in is estrogen replacement and calcium replacement Cancers like osteoma which is a benign tumor of osteoblasts and osteosarcoma which is a malignant tumor of bone |
|
