membranes Flashcards
(26 cards)
ions more confines to ECF
Na+ and Cl-
ions more confined to ICF
K+
how does water travel freely through all membranes
aquaporin
how well do gases travel
freely between all membranes
glycoprotein function
cell communication
recognition by immune system
functions of membrane proteins
receptors
transport
enzymes
maintenance of structure
communication
osmosis with no diffusion will lead to
change in cell volume
osmolarity definition
total number of particles per L
both penetrating and non penetrating
tonicity definition
number of non penetrating particles in solution
osmolarity of plasma and cells
300 mOsmol/l
1M of NaCl osmolarity
2 osmol/l
Na and Cl split
non penetrating molecules in ECF
Na+ and Cl-
non penetrating molecules in ICF
k+
example of a freely penetrating particle
urea
solutions with same total number of solute particles as normal ECF are
isosmotic
solutions with fewer total number of solute particles as normal ECF are
hyposmotic
solutions with more total number of solute particles as normal ECF are
hyperosmotic
solution with the same amount of non penetrating molecules as normal ECF
isotonic
solution with fewer amount of non penetrating molecules as normal ECF
hypotonic
solution with a larger amount of non penetrating molecules as normal ECF
hypertonic
isosmotic can be
hypotonic and isotonic
hyperosmotic can be
hypertonic, isotonic or hypotonic
hyposmotic can be
only hypertonic
tonicity of ECF
300- same as osmolarity as Na and Cl are the main molecules in ECF and are also the non penetrating particles
