Integral proteins, receptor proteins, cholesterol, lipid bilayer, carbohydrate, carrier proteins, microtubules

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
