Q

what will be impact on microvilli after contraction of myosin II

A

epical diameter of cell is reduced, cell becomes shorter, causes microvilli to move adduction and abduction, advantage is creating surface area for nutrients

18
Q

motile cilia in the oviduct

A

beats fluid towards the uterus

19
Q

motile cilia is covered by

A

cilia membrane, transmembrane proteins are different from plasma membrane

20
Q

inside motile cilia is

A

anoxneme, microtubules are made of tubulin subunits

21
Q

microtubules are arranged in specific matter in motile cilia

A

9 + 2 arrangement= 9 doublets of circularly arranged peripheral microtubules, surround 2 central microtubules.

22
Q

what are peripheral microtubules made of in motile cilia

A

alpha and beta tubulin subunit

23
Q

2 alpha dynein ends are only in what

A

alpha microtubules

24
Q

what is nexin

A

an elastic protein that links to next doublet

25
what is radial spoke
control of dynein arm by relaying signals
26
basal body holds triplets, does not extend past basal body
there are triplets
27
each doublet exhibits a pair of arms that contain
dynein and ATPase
28
Arm extends from A microtubule, to form temporary cross bridges
with B microtubules of the adjacent doublet
29
primary ciliary dyskineasiaor immotile cilia syndrome (ICS)
autosomal recessive disease, characterized be abnormal ciliary motion, and imapaired muco-ciliary clearance
30
kartagener syndrome
dynein arms are absent in the cilia, leads to abnormal ciliary function
31
kartagener syndrome
characterized by triad of situs inversus, chronic sinusitis, and bronchiectasis
32
two disorders affecting the muco-ciliary unit
Primary Ciliary Dyskinesiaor Immotile cilia syndrome, and kartagener syndrome
33
primary cilia
Function as a signal receptor, axoneme is 9+0 microtubule
34
nodal cilia
Make rotational movement, 9+0 microtubules
35
nodal cilia
concentrated in area of the primitive node
36
basolateral surface specialization
lateral folds and basal folds
37
lateral surface shows a tortuous bounday
due to infoldings of cells with neighbors, this increases lateral surface
38
where are lateral folds found
epithelium of intestines and kidney tubules
39
lateral folds are prominent in cells that transport fluid rapidly
40
basal folds have characteristics of what
fluid transporting cells example is proximal and distal tubules of kidney, and salivary gland ducts
41
mitochondria provide energy for functioning basal folds and active transport
42
the presence of the basal folds and mitochondria orientation together form
striated appearance at basal aspect example Striated ducts of salivary gland
43
junctional complex has 3 components
occluding junctions, anchoring junctions, communicating junctions
44
cell to cell adhesions are called what in a LM
terminal bar
