Term
Membranous Organelles
Definition
mitochondria
golgi apparatus
ER
nuclear envelope
lysosome
peroxisome
Term
Nonmembranous organelles
Definition
nucleolus
ribosomes
microtubules
centrioles/basal bodies
microfilaments
intermediate filaments
inclusions
Term
Characterisics of cell membranes
Definition
separates cells from environment
composed of lipids and proteins
dynamic, active
maintains compositional differences between outside and inside
Term
membrane functions
Definition
ion pumps and ion channels
hormone receptors
adhesion to ECM
adhesion to other cells
Term
Transport Mechanism-Transmembrane
Definition
1. diffusion (steroids)
2. passive transport through pump (glucose)
3. active transport (energy consuming)
Term
Transport Mechanism-Bulk
Definition
-energy consuming process
1. exocytosis (proteolytic enzymes)
2. endocytosis
3. pinocytosis: endocytosis of fluids and solutes
Term
Cystic Fibrosis
Definition
1. Most common pediatric genetic disorder in whites (1/3,000)
2. defect in epithelial ion transport
3. affects secretions of exocrine glands
4. viscous mucus, pulmonary infections, pancreatic insufficiency, fatty stool, malnutrition, cirrhosis, intestinal blockage, male infertility
Term
Cystic Fibrosis-Molecular Bio
Definition
1.Mutation in CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) on chrom 7
2. abnormalities in Cl- transport
a. Na and Cl- accumulates in lumen of sweat ducts (salty skin)
b. Cl- cannot pass into lumen of airways--causes increase in Na+ and H20 to be taken into epithelium--viscous mucus
Term
Faces of plasma membrane
Definition
1. E-face (external): fewer intramembranous particles
2. P-face (protoplasmic): lots of intramembranous proteins, transducers
Term
Membrane Comparmentalization
Definition
1. separates nucleus and cytoplasm
2. allow increased efficiency by grouping related enzymes
