Coupling of the inward movement of sodium ions with the outward movement of calcium ions

TRUE OR FALSE: The sodium–potassium pump maintains a high sodium ion concentration in the cell.

FALSE explanation: The sodium–potassium (Na+–K+) pump is a good example of primary active transport. It is also known as Na+–K+ ATPase because it is an enzyme that hydrolyzes ATP. The Na+–K+ pump binds three Na+ simultaneously on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane, releases these to the ECF, binds two K+ simultaneously from the ECF, and releases these into the cell. Each cycle of the pump consumes one ATP and exchanges three Na+ for two K+. This keeps the K+ concentration higher and the Na+ concentration lower within the cell than they are in the ECF. These ions continually leak through the membrane, and the Na+–K+ pump compensates like bailing out a leaky boat.

TRUE OR FALSE: Both symport and antiport require transport proteins.

TRUE explanation: There are three kinds of carriers: uniports, symports, and antiports. A uniport carries only one type of solute. For example, most cells pump out calcium by means of a uniport, maintaining a low intracellular concentration so calcium salts don’t crystallize in the cytoplasm. Some carriers move two or more solutes through a membrane simultaneously in the same direction; this process is called cotransport and the carrier protein that performs it is called a symport. For example, absorptive cells of the small intestine and kidneys have a symport that takes up sodium and glucose simultaneously. Other carriers move two or more solutes in opposite directions; this process is called countertransport and the carrier protein is called an antiport. For example, nearly all cells have an antiport called the sodium–potassium pump that continually removes Na+ from the cell and brings in K+.

What does facilitated diffusion require? a. enzymes b. carrier proteins c. lipid carriers d. carbohydrate carriers e. lipid or carbohydrate carriers

carrier proteins

Facilitated diffusion occurs __________. a. into the cell only b. out of the cell only c. in either direction depending on the temperature d. in either direction depending on the concentration gradient of the molecule e. in either direction depending on the size of the molecule

Which tissues can be described as excitable because they are able to respond to outside stimuli by changing their membrane potential? a. Epithelial and muscular b. Epithelial and connective c. Connective and muscular d. Nervous and connective e. Nervous and muscular

Nervous and muscular

TRUE OR FALSE: Nervous tissue is characterized by a high proportion of ground substance and fibers.

FALSE Nervous tissue is primarily composed of neurons and glial cells, with minimal ground substance and fibers compared to other tissues like connective tissue, which is characterized by a large amount of ground substance and fibers.

TRUE OR FALSE: Nervous tissue receives and transmits electrical signals.

TRUE Nervous tissue, composed primarily of neurons, is specifically designed to receive and transmit electrical signals throughout the body.

TRUE OR FALSE: Nervous tissue is protected by neuroglia.

TRUE Neuroglia, also known as glial cells, are cells within the nervous system that primarily function to support and protect neurons, effectively protecting the nervous tissue.

TRUE OR FALSE: Nervous tissue forms the lining of the digestive tract.

FALSE While the digestive tract does contain a network of nerves called the "enteric nervous system," the lining of the digestive tract is primarily composed of epithelial tissue, not nervous tissue.

TRUE OR FALSE: Nervous tissue is held together by gap junctions.

FALSE Gap junctions are specialized cell-to-cell connections that directly connect the cytoplasm of adjacent cells, and they play a significant role in holding nervous tissue together by facilitating rapid communication between neurons and glial cells within the nervous system.

TRUE OR FALSE: Nervous tissue is electrically excitable.

FALSE The MAJORITY of neuronal connections are formed through specialized junctions called synapses, which primarily rely on chemical signaling to transmit information between cells, rather than the direct electrical coupling facilitated by gap junctions.

TRUE OR FALSE: Nervous tissue is stimulated by changes in membrane potential.

TRUE Nervous tissue, particularly neurons, are stimulated by changes in their membrane potential, which is the voltage difference across the cell membrane. When a stimulus is received, it causes a change in ion permeability, leading to a shift in membrane potential and triggering an electrical signal known as an action potential.

TRUE OR FALSE: Nervous tissue produces heat and moves body segments.

FALSE While nervous tissue sends signals that trigger muscle contractions which produce movement, it itself does not directly generate heat or move body segments; that primary function belongs to muscle tissue.

TRUE OR FALSE: Nervous tissue is contractile.

FALSE While nervous tissue can initiate muscle contractions by sending signals, it itself does not contract; that function is primarily attributed to muscle tissue, which is the only tissue classified as "contractile". Nervous tissue is primarily responsible for communication and signal transmission through the body.

TRUE OR FALSE: Cardiac muscle produces heat and moves body segments

FALSE Cardiac muscle produces heat, but it does not move body segments!

TRUE OR FALSE: Cardiac muscle has cylindrically shaped cells

FALSE Cardiac muscle cells are not cylindrical because they have a branched structure, meaning they extend out in multiple directions, forming a network-like pattern, unlike the straight, cylindrical shape of skeletal muscle cells.

TRUE OR FALSE: Cardiac muscle contains intercalated discs

TRUE Intercalated discs are unique structures found only in cardiac muscle, connecting individual cardiac muscle cells and allowing them to contract in a synchronized manner.

FALSE

TRUE OR FALSE: Cardiac muscle has centrally located nuclei

TRUE Cardiac muscle cells, also called cardiomyocytes, typically contain a single, centrally located nucleus.

decrease Simple squamous epithelium is very thin and provides a minimal barrier, which facilitates efficient gas exchange between the air in the alveoli and the blood in the capillaries. Stratified epithelium, on the other hand, consists of multiple layers of cells, making it thicker and less efficient for diffusion. This would hinder the effective exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

decrease

Would the vascularity of ligaments INCREASE or DECREASE if they were made of bone?

increase Bone tissue is highly vascularized to support its metabolic needs and maintain bone health. Blood vessels in bone provide essential nutrients and oxygen and remove waste products. Ligaments are currently composed of dense connective tissue, which has relatively fewer blood vessels. If ligaments were made of bone, they would inherit the high vascularity typical of bone tissue.
