Q

What is Facilitated Distribution and what molecules can go through it

A

Facilitated diffusion is a Passive Transport for Medium to Large molecules, Polar Molecules following the Concentration Gradient with the help of Membrane Proteins.

Q

What are the four different types of Tissue?

A
  • Epithelial Tissue
  • Connective Tissue
  • Nervous Tissue
  • Muscle Tissue
21
Q

What is the description and characteristics of Epithelial Tissue?

A
  • Covers a surface, Something you dont want to leak
  • Highly Cellularà
  • Have a Polarity
  • Regenerate themselves thanks to the Basement Membrane
22
Q

Where can we find Epithelial Tissue?

A

Lungs, Intestines, Kidney, Skin, Bladder

23
Q

What are the functions of Epithelial Tissue?

A

Protect
Transport
Secretion (Glands)

24
Q

What is the basement Membrane?

A

Attachment for the Epithelial cells so they can link with the underlying tissue

25
What do you call the two surfaces of Epithelial Tissue?
Apical and Basal Surface
26
What are all the possible names for Epithelial Tissue?
- Simple Squamous Epithelium - Simple Cuboidal Epithelium - Simple Columnar Epithelium - Stratisfied Squamous Epithelium - Stratisfied Cuboidal Epithelium - Stratisfied Columnar Epithelium - Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium
27
Description, Location and Function of Simple Squamous Epithelium
One layered flat surface Air sacs of lungs, lininig of the heart, blood vessels Allows material to pass throught by diffusion and filtration
28
Description, Location and Function of Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
One layered Cubic surface In ducts a secretory portions of small glands Secretes and absorbs
29
Description, Location and Function of Simple Columnar Epithelium
MICROVILI AT THE TOP Uterine tubes and uterus Absorbs and secretes mucous
30
Description, Location and Function of Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium
Looks like multiple layers but only one Trachea and respiratory tract Secretes mucus
31
Description, Location and Function of Stratified Squamous Epithelium
Skin, Dead cells at the top Vagina Protects
32
Description, Location and Function of Transitional Epithelium
Multiple layers with different shapes Bladder, Uretha and Ureters Highly Strechable
33
What are the four classes of Connective Tissue?
- Connective Tissue Proper - Cartilage - Bone - Blood
34
What are 4 characteristics of Connective Tissue?
- Derived from the same embryonic tissue (Mesenchyme) - Few Cells - Lots of extracellular matrix - Rich in blood vessels or no vessels
35
What are 4 functions of connective Tissue?
- Connect and support other tissues - Protection - Insulation and energy storage - Transport
36
What are the three Connective Tissue Fibers?
- Collagen Fibers - Elastic Fibers - Reticular Fibers
37
Describe Collagen Fibers?
Made of collagen (Protein) Thick Strongest
38
Describe Elastic Fibers?
Made of Elastin Branching, long and thin Stretch and return to original shape
39
Describe Reticular Fibers
Made of Collagen Fine and Short Forms Supporting networks (Spider Web)
40
Describe Adipose Tissue?
Distributed throughout Body Mostly Fat Storage Cells Lots of Blood vessels
41
Describe Cartilage?

42
Describe Hyaline Cartilage?
Short collahen fibers Supports and cushions Nose, end of long bones, Trachea
43
Describe Elastic Cartialage?
External Ear | Supports while being flexible
44
Characteristics of Bones

48
Name of Neurons places (7)
``` Cell membrane Dendrites Cell Body Axon Node of Ranvier Myelin Sheath Synapse ```
49
Explain the Nerve Impulse/Action Potential of Neuron step by Step
``` 1- Resting Membrane Potential (-70mV) 2- Membrane Potential reaches the Treshold (-55mV) Na+ Channels open, Na+ Flows in 3- Depolarization (30 mV) K+ Channels open, K+ flows out, Na+ Channels close 4. Repolarization K+ Channels close but slowly 5. Hyperpolarization (-75mV) 6. Return to Rest ```
