Q

4 functions of plasma cell membranes

A
  1. fluid - lateral diffusion of membrane proteins + cell mobility
  2. polar lipid composition - variable permeability
  3. breaks and tears are sealed spontaneously due to polar nature of lipids
    a. isolate cell cytoplasm from external environment
    b. regulate change of essential subs
    c. communicate with other cells

Q

when food enters duodenum what cause the inhibition of parietal cells?

A

acid, distension, hypertonic solutions, AAs and FAs in the small intestine reflexively inhibit gastric acid secretion. This inhibition is mediated by short and long neural reflexes and by hormones (enterogastrones including CCK and secretin) that inhibit acid secretion by influencing the 4 signals that directly control acid secretion: ACh, histamine, gastrin and somatostatin.

25
what secretes progesterone after ovulation?
corpus luteum
26
2 types of cell in a normal ovary that secrete oestrogen?
stromal/thecal, granulosa
27
what do ___ secrete? thyroid follicular cells thyroid parafollicular cells
thyroid | calcitonin
28
what are the 2 components need to make the follicular cell secretion?
iodine | tyrosine
29
function of thyroidperoxidase?
liberates iodine for addition onto tyrosine residues on thyroglobulin
30
secretion of follicular cells in thyroid gland is bound to what 2 proteins to be transported round the body?
thyroid binding protein | albumin
31
2 functions of the hormone secreted by the thyroid follicular cells?
increase BMR CNS development increased use of Na/K/ATPase channels potentiates catecholamines
32
where in the cell is the receptor for thyroid?
nucleus thryroid is an amine hormone (other 2 categories are peptides - in blood, plasma membrane receptor and steroids - needs cholesterol to carry + has intracellular receptor)
33
what is the calculation for BP using CO and PVR?
BP = CO x PVR as flow = pressure/resistance
34
2 sites where arterial baroreceptors are found
aortic arch, carotid sinus
35
what repels albumin the the slit diaphragm between foot processes in the GFB?
uncharged glycolax
36
buffer system that regulates blood pH, and a buffer system that excretes the daily acid load
in blood: bicarbonate buffer system alkaline phosphate excretes acid load
37
which 2 non-pharmacological factors affect K+ secretion in the nephron
Na+ conc blood vol GFR aldosterone levels
38
2 hormones involved in the renal response to blood volume
ADH aldosterone angiotensin II
39
what cranial nerve carries visual info from the eyes?
optic
40
where is primary visual cortex located (Brodmanns area 17)
occipital lobe - calcarine sulcus
41
what 3 structures do the visual fibres pass through before reaching primary visual cortex?
optic tract optic chiasm optic radiation
42
difference between temporal and nasal retina pathways?
nasal retina decussate at the optic chasm. | temporal retina do not cross and stay ipsilateral
43
what structure do the visual pathways synapse
lateral geniculate nucleus
44
which 2 nerves are involved in the pupillary reflex?
oculomotor, optic
45

which part of the brain detect the following: 1. pain awareness 2. pain sensation 3. emotional response 4. positional awareness

1. brainstem 

2. somatosensory cortex

3. amygdala

4. cerebellum

46
which spinal tract conveys fine touch and proprioception and where does it decussate?
dorsal medial lemnisci/dorsal column. | decussates at the medulla
47
which spinal tract conveys pain, temp and coarse touch and where does it decussate?
spinothalamic | decussates 1 or 2 levels above entry
48
why is pain/temp/coarse touch lost 2 levels below that of fine touch?
because the spinothalamic tract (crude touch and pain/temp) decussates 2 levels above its entry to the spinal chord.
49
woman's pain is diurnal, worse at night than morning. what 2 hormones involved in this pain?
melatonin - pineal gland | cortisol
50
what type of pain do these fibres convey and are they myelinated or not? A fibres C fibres
a- sharp pain, myeliated | c- dull pain, unmyelinated
51
2 psychological factors that contribute to chronic pain that won't go away?
***** sadness and anxiety

which meniscus is fastened tightly to the tibial joint?
medial meniscus
55
what nerves supply the compartments of the thigh?
anterior - femoral medial - obturator posterior - sciatic
56
which muscles help to stabilise the knee?
quadriceps
57

1. unlar - medial 1.5 fingers palmer side and posterior side 2. lateral 3.5 fingers palmer side and posterior tips of those fingers 3. radial - posterior hand
58
what muscles of the hand does the medial nerve supply?
2 lateral lumbricals, opponens pollicis, flexor pollicis brevis, abductor pollicis brevis

60
which nerve goes through the carpal tunnel?
median
