Cells, Tissues, Membranes Flashcards
(63 cards)
cell shrinking
hypertonic
cell swelling
hypotonic
equal amount of water and solute in the cell
isotonic
genetic disease that affects the active transport of chlorine in the body. this then results water to not be able to properly move across the body leading to tubes to be filled up with mucus and be clogged.
cystic fibrosis
fuses to the particle so it becomes part of the membrane. occurs WBC fights off infections
Phagocytosis (cell-eating)
reabsorbs unused fluids
Pinocytosis (cell-drinking(
secretion or ejection of substances to form a cell
exocytosis
pinches off organelles to deliver their cargo
vesicular trafficking
binds cells together. walang makakadaan
tight junctions
anchors cells to one another and cadherins make them stick
desmosomes
allows communication where ions and molecules pass & diffuse
gap junctions
water loving lipids
hydrophilic
water fearing lipids
hydrophobic
moves from an area of low concentration to high concentration. requires ATP
active transport
moves from an area of high concentration to low concentration
simple diffusion
used as chemical messengers
ligands
signals the nervous system
neurotransmitter
signals the endocrine system
hormones
short lived and can only act locally. communicates with nearby cells without contact
paracrine
targets itself
autocrine
chemical is sent to distant cells through the bloodstream
endocrine
via the bloodstream
signals across gap junctions
increases or catalyzes enzyme or ion channels. uses secondary messenger
GPCR
control center of the body and is the site for erythrocytes (mature RBC)
nucleus
