QuestionAnswer
Na+/K+ Pump an active transport system, keeps the inside of the cell more negatively charged than the outside, keeps sodium out of the cell and potassium in, uses direct enery of ATP
end results of glucose metabolism - CO2 and NADH and FADH2 (the citric acid cycle)
glucose metabolism when sufficient oxygen is present the two molecules of pyruvate move into the mitochondria where they enter the citric acid cycle
results of glucose metabolism when there isn’t sufficient oxygen present (anaerobic metabolism) , pyruvate is converted into lactic acid and released into the ECF, and waits for oxygen to be restored, this is not as efficient as aerobic process.
what creates an action potential. - when nerve or muscle cell receives a stimulus that exceeds the membrane threshold value
What ions predominate in the main fluid compartments of ECF - NA+
What ions predominate in the main fluid compartments ICF - K+
cell receptors protein molecules on the plasma membrane, in the cytoplasm or in the nucleus that can recognize and bind with smaller molecules called ligands
What is necessary for an autosomal recessive disorder to be expressed - inherited from both parents

- Atrophy decrease in cellular size, and decrease workload caused by ageing, disuse or lack of blood suppy
- Dysplasia abnormal change in size, shape and organization of mature tissue cells · neoplastic growths (malignant) and are often found adjacent to cancerous cells
- Hypertrophy increase in the size of cells caused by increased work demands or hormonal stimulation, occurs in cells that cannot divide like muscle cells (heart and kidney)
- metaplasia the reversible replacement of one mature cells type by another less mature cell type, these cells are more prone to cancer
- Hyperplasia increase in the # of cells, caused by and increase of cellular division, stimulated by hormones in the need to replace lost tissue cells
In what type of change do neoplastic growths occur Dysplasia
where does hypertrophy occur cells that cannot divide like muscle (heart and kidney)
which cells are more prone to cancer cells that are mataplasia
what is hyperplasia stimulated by hormones in the need to replace lost tissue cells
