hypotonic solutions move water

into cells

hypertonic solutions move water

out of cells

Crenation

cells shrink
-happens in hypertonic solutions
-water absorbed from cell

lysis

cell bursts
-happens in hypertonic solution
-water is added to cell

filtration

-movement across semipermeable membrance becasue of pressure differences

types of active movement

active transport and vesicular transport

types of active transport

primary and secondary

primary active transport

cell uses ATP and carries molecule to move substances from low to high concentration (against
concentration gradient)

secondary active transport

Form of active transport which does not use ATP as an energy source; rather, transport is coupled to ion
diffusion down a concentration gradient established by primary active transport.

symport

two molecules travel in the same direction

,antiport

two substances move in opposite directions

vesicular transport

movement across PM by formation of vesicle

Vesicle

membrane bound sac

types of vesicular transport

endocytosis and exocytosis

Endocytosis

bringing molecules into cell via vesicle formation

types of endocytosis

phagocytosis, pinocytosis, receptor-mediated endocytosis

Phagocytosis

cell eating
-brings solid particles into cell by vesicle formation

Pinocytosis

Cell drinking
-bringing fluid and dissolved solutes in by vesicle formation

receptor-mediated endocytosis

receptors on PM bind with specific substance-> PM folds in-> forms vesicle

Exocytosis

cell spits something out
-product produces by cell packed into vesicle-> vesicle fuses with PM -> substances released outside of
cell

functions of the plasma membrane

-forms boundary-> separate inside cell from outside cell
-regulate movement in/out of cell
-receptors -> for hormones
-cellular communication -> contact
-structure ->cytoskeleton
-enzymes->catalyze reactions
-cellular attachment -> join cells together
-cellular ID tags->cell to cell recognition

, receptor and channel abnormalities

-familial hypercholesterolemia
-androgen insensitivity syndrome

Familial Hypercholesterolemia

genetic disorder characterized by high cholesterol levels
-get this young

intersexuality

genitalia doesn't match sex chromosomes

Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS)

a genetic condition in which the body is unresponsive to androgens so that a genetic male may be born
with a female-appearing body
-hormones never developed
-lack internal female structure
-girl on outside, male on inside

Tissues

Groups of cells with a common structure and function.

four types of tissues

epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous

desmosomes

glycoprotein discs joined by protein filaments
-hold cells together

gap junctions

hollow protein pipes join cells
-cell to cell communication

tight junctions

closes off space between cells
-form permeability barrier
-anything going from one side of cell to another cannot go between cells, must go thru cells
-cells structure about substances that move across

general location of epithelial tissue

covering and lining tissues

general function of epithelial tissue

forming glands
