25
Facilitated diffusion
ions diffuse through membrane via protein channels
26
Facilitated transport
large, charged or water soluble molecules diffuse across membrane using specific carrier proteins
27
Carrier proteins must ...
bind to protein to be transported
28
3 types of solute movement
- simple diffusion - facilitated diffusion - facilitated transport
29
Osmosis
movement of H2O across a semipermeable membrane due to H2O difference via pores or across membrane bilayer
30
High H2O =
low solute (dilute solution)
31
Low H2O =
high solute (concentrated solution)
32
Solute depends on the..
number of ions or molecules not the type
33
Osmotic pressure
pressure must be applied to prevent movement of H2O from a pure H2O solution (S1) across a semipermeable membrane into another solution (S2)
34
If S2 has high salt, low H2O the more..
H2O wil move into it which requires pressure to stop H2O moving into S2
35
S1 and S2 = pure H2O results in
no pressure required to prevent H2O movement (no gradient) so OP=0
36
OP is used as a ..
measure of the solute of a solution
37
High OP = ____ _____ | Low OP = _____ _____
high solute; low solute
38
Tonicity
response of a cell immersed in a solution
39
Tonicity depends on..
solute and permeability of cell membrane to solute
40
3 types of tonicity
- hypertonic - hypotonic - isotonic
41
Hypotonic solution
ECF has lower OP (high H2O) than ICF, cell swells and may burst
42
Lysis
swelling causing rupture of cell (ex: hemolysis for rbc)
43
Hypertonic solution
ECF has higher OP (lower H2O) than OCF, cell shrinks
44
Isotonic
ECF and ICF have equal OP
45
Example of isotonic solution
rbc, all solutes within equals 0.9% saline solution
46
Uses of tonicity
injecting 10% sucrose solution (hypertonic) will move water to blood stream (used to lower brain edema/swelling)
47
Osmosis role in solute regulation
concentration of solutes in body fluids must be maintained w/in narrow limits or cells will die
48
Major body fluids
- extracellular fluids | - intracellular fluids
49
2 examples of extracellular fluids
- blood plasma | - interstitial fluid (ISF)
50
Example of osmosis role in body regulation
if body loses H2O (Sweat) then increase blood/blood OP then fluid moves from tissues to blood, response = thirst6 and decrease renal H2O loss (less peeing)
51
Bulk flow
movement of fluid and solutes due to a pressure gradient (high to low pressure)
52
Hydrostatic pressure
pressure of a fluid pressing against a surface
53
Example of bulk flow
capillary; if blood has higher pressure than ISF fluid slow out of the capillary
54
Active processes
require energy (ATP)
55
2 types of active processes
- active transport | - vesicular transport
56
Active transport
substances move against concentration gradient (low to high). ALWAYS protein carrier-mediated
57
2 types of active transport
- primary (1°) active transport | - secondary (2°) active transport
58
Primary active transport
molecular pumps, ATP breakdown is directly part of transport process (ex: Na/L ATPase pump)
59
Secondary active transport
cotransport (use of ATP is indirect)
60
Example of secondary active transport
glucose entry at small intestine 2 steps: - Na gradient established by Na/K ATPase - glucose and Na both must bind to carrier and are cotransported into the cell so Na moving down its concentration gradient drives in glucose against its conc. gradient
61
Vesicular transport
substance is surrounded by a membrane w/ in a cell (vesicle)
62
2 types of vesicular transport
- endocytosis | - exocytosis
63
Endocytosis
movement into a cell
64
2 types of endocytosis
- phagocytosis | - pinocytosis
65
Phagocytosis
large items into a cell, cell eating (ex: bacteria)
66
Pinocytosis
fluids and dissolved substances, cell drinking
67
Exocytosis
movement out of cell, vesicles containing hormones, enzymes, nt fuse. fuse will cell membrane releasing contents into ECF
68
Joiner/linker proteins
anchor to membrane of cytoskeleton or an adjacent cell
69
2 types of joiner proteins
- junctional proteins between cell forming: desmosomes, tight junctions, gap junctions - extracellular fibres (glycoproteins)
