Four Categories of Tissues

What is Epithelial, Connective, Nervous, Muscular 

100

This has a single layer of cells

Simple Epithelium 

100

Net flow of water through a selectively permeable membrane

Osmosis

100

_________ occurs when particles are driven through membrane by physical pressure.

filtration 

kidneys filter blood to make urine

water and small solutes filter in/out of capillary walls (gives tissues O2 and nutrients, reabsorbs CO2 and waste from tissue) 

100

Powerhouse

Mitochondria 

200

A group of similar cells and cell products working together to perform a specific role

Tissue

200

Most widespread epithelium in the body

Stratified Squamous

200

Tonicity depends on the concentration of ________

Nonpermeating Solutes

200

Which molecule would diffuse fastest (assume all factors are the same except temp)

a) O2 at 100 degrees Fahrenheit

b) O2 at 90 degrees Fahrenheit

c) Glucose at 100 degrees Fahrenheit

d) Glucose at 90 degrees Fahrenheit

a) O2 at 100 F

- O2 is smaller than Glucose and molecules move faster at hotter temps (100 F > 90 F)

200

Network of protein filaments and cylinders

Cytoskeleton 

300

A Structure with discrete boundries that is composed of two or more tissue types

Organ

300

Defining characteristics of Pseudostratified Epithelium

Looks multilayered but all cells touch basement membrane

Nuclei have several layers

Has Celia and goblet cells 


300

Refers to the concentration of the solution ________

In the ECF

300

The concentration of NaCl is 2.5 % in the ECF and 1.8 % in the ICF. Is this a hypotonic, hypertonic, or isotonic solution? What direction will water move?

Hypertonic (more solutes in ECF, less water). Water will move into the cell.

300

Free vs Fixed Ribosomes

Free: produce proteins used inside the cell 

Fixed: Produce proteins destined for export

400

Matrix is composed of:

Fibrous proteins

Clear Gel called ground substance 

400

Multilayered epithelium with surface cells that change from round to flat. Allows for Filling

Urothelium (Transitional) Epithelium 

400

ICF 10% Saline 

ECF 30% Saline 

Hypertonic

400

Discuss uniport vs. symport vs. antiport carriers. What type is the sodium-potassium pump?

uniport - carries one type of solute (e.g. calcium pump) 

symport - carries two or more solutes simultaneously in same direction (e.g. sodium-glucose transporters) 

antiport - carries two ore more solutes in opposite directions (e.g. sodium-potassium pump) 

400

Synthesizes carbohydrates and puts finishing touches on protein synthesis 

Golgi Complex

500

Ways that Tissue Types differ from each other 

Cell Type and Function

Characteristics of the matrix 

Space occupied by cells

500

How does the epidermis continuously renew itself?

Deepest layers undergo continuous mitosis

Daughter cells push toward the surface and become flatter as they migrate upward

Finally die and flake off—exfoliation or desquamation

500

You have a Isotonic solution. You add solutes inside of the cell. What happens to the cell?

Hypotonic Solution - Cell absorbs water and swells 

500

A macrophage encounters a bacterial pathogen in damaged tissue. The cell engulfs the bacterium and digests it using hydrolytic enzymes.

a) Is this phagocytosis or pinocytosis? 

b) What organelle will destroy the bacteria via hydrolytic enzymes? 

c) Will the cell membrane surface area increase or decrease in size after engulfing the bacteria? Will the cell volume increase or decrease? 

a) phagocytosis (cell-eating) which is a type of endocytosis

b) a lysosome will destroy the bacteria 

c) cell membrane surface area will decrease because membrane components were used to engulf the bacteria into a vesicle. The volume will increase because the vesicle and its contents have added into the cell
