| Explain exocytosis. | In exocytosis, an intracellular vesicle "melts" into the surface membrane, before opening to the extracellular space and extruding its contents. |
| Explain endocytosis. | In endocytosis, the surface membrane invaginates, pinches off, and becomes an intracellular vesicles containing extracellular fluid. |

| What is another name for pinocytosis? | cell drinking |
| What is another name for phagocytosis? | cell ingestion and digestion |
| What is the modern model of endocytosis? | receptor mediated endocytosis |
| What is transcytosis? | transcytosis is essentially a combination of endocytosis followed by exocytosis, resulting in transport into, across, and out of a cell. |
| What is an example of pinocytosis? | proteins are reabsorbed from the proximal tubule of the kidney by pinocytosis |
| What is an example of phagocytosis? | macrophages phagocytize bacteria |
| What is an example of exocytosis? | neurotransmitters are released from nerve terminals by the process of exocytosis |
| Is endocytosis selective, or non-selective? | non selective |
| Give an example of a coat protein. | Clathrin |
| Describe the importance of receptors and clathrin in endo and exocytosis | Receptors provide the specificity and clathrin provides the mechanism to convert a planar membrane into a spherical structure (vesicle). so that a cell knows what to bring into the cell or so that a specific substance can become concentrated in a vesicle |
| What are 4 types off receptors? | receptors that control ion channels, receptors that control membrane bound-enzymes, catalytic receptors, and nuclear receptors. |
| What are examples of receptors that control ion channels? | ligand gated ion channels, ionotropic receptors |
| How do receptors that control ion channels work? | When a ligand (chemical, drug, neurotransmitter, hormone) attaches to its receptor, the channel opens and substances specific to the channel diffuse down their concentration gradients through it. |
| Give a physiologic example of a receptor that controls ion channels? | At the neurotransmitter junction, ACh binds to the nicotinic receptor and the channel opens to sodium ions, which diffuse in, potassium ions, which diffuse out, and calcium ions, which diffuse in. Others: 5HT3, GABA, and glutamate receptors |
| What is an example of a receptor that controls membrane bound enzymes? | metabotropic receptors |
| How do metabotropic receptors work? | When a ligand attaches to its receptor, an enzyme on the cytoplasmic surface (inside) of the membrane is activated. A reaction inside the cell is accelerated by the enzyme. |
| What are the most common type of receptors that control membrane bound enzymes? | G protein coupled receptors |
| What are other names for G protein coupled receptors? | GPCR, 7 transmembrane, serpentine |
| Most adrenergic receptors, such as ACh receptors, are ____. | GPCR |
| How do catalytic receptors work? | When activated by a ligand, these integral plasma membrane proteins are either enzymes themselves or part of an enzymatic complex. |
| What are examples of catalytic receptors? | insulin, EPO, ANP and many growth factor receptors |
| What is another name for nuclear receptors? | intracellular receptors |
| How do nuclear receptors work? | These proteins, located in the cytosol or nucleus, are ligand activated transcription factors. These receptors link extracellular signals to gene transcription in the nucleus of the cell. |
| Most ___ ____ exert their cellular effects via nuclear receptors. | steroid hormones |
| Describe the thickness and orientation of channels. | they span the thickness of the lipid bilayer |
| What are proteins that span the membrane called? | integral or transmembrane proteins |
| Where do receptor binding sites face? | extracellular surface of lipid bilayer |
| Where are membrane enzymes anchored? | intracellular surface of the lipid bilayer |
| Where are first messengers located? | the extracellular side |
| Where are second messengers generated? | intracellular side |
| What is signal transduction? | the relaying of messages from the exterior to the interior of the cell |
| Where does the name transduction come from? | latin 'traducere' means "to carry across" |
| Explain the mechanism of signal transduction. | External signals are transferred to the cell interior when agonist, first messenger, opens channels or activates enzymes. |
| Explain the mechanism of signal transduction (continued). | Signal transduction using receptors involves the action of an intermediary protein messenger, which transfers the signal from the receptor to an enzyme. G proteins are the best known proteins for relaying messages from receptors to enzymes. |
| G proteins have three subunits, what are they? | gamma, beta, and alpha |
| What parts of the g protein can relay messages? | alpha subunit and beta-gamma complex |

| A given second messenger produces (the same/different) effects in different tissues. | different |
| Second messenger action is ____- specific. | tissue |

| When a protein changes shape, the protein is said to undergo a _____ change. | conformational |
| Does insulin stimulate or block the Na/K pump? | stimulates |
| Explain the role of insulin therapy in hyperkalemia. | By stimulating the Na/K pump, insulin drives K into cells. It also opens glucose channels, which permits the tx of glucose into fat and skeletal muscle cells. The glucose component of the glucose-insulin therapy for hyperkalemia, prevents hypoglycemia |
| Do beta 2 adrenergic agonists cause hypo or hyperkalemia? | hypokalemia |
| Explain the role of beta 2 adrenergic agonists on the Na/K pump. | B2 agonists stimulate the Na/K pump. This action explains why ritodrine and terbutaline (beta agonists) promote hypokalemia. Beta agonists drive potassium into the cell by stimulating the Na/K pump. |
| What is an analogy for an agonist and its receptor? | key fits into a lock and then turns the tumblers |
| Describe the action of a competitive antagonist. | A competitive antagonist fits into a receptor but has no direct effect. The competitive antagonist prevents agonists from attaching to the receptor so nothing happens. |
| What is an analogy for a competitive antagonist? | a ket that fits into a lock but cannot turn the tumblers; when the wrong key is in the lock, the correct key cannot be inserted. |
