Cell Membrane Structure and Function — Flashcards

What kind of transport systems follow stereospecificity?_____

_____ distribution of protein channels increases diffusion capacity across a membrane

Cytotoxic edema is an _____cellular edema caused by impaired function of Na/K-ATPase pumps on neuronal cell membranes

The magnitude of the diffusion potential for a specific ion is determined by its concentration gradient and the membrane's _____ to that ion.

The movement of calcium from the cytosol to the extracellular space takes place by _____ active transport

_____ -soluble substances cross the membranes of capillary endothelial cells by simple diffusion

The distribution of _____ ions between intracellular and extracellular space is explained by the Gibbs-Donnan equilibrium

Hint: non-diffusible/diffusible

_____ on endothelial cells bind integrins on leukocytes, resulting in firm adhesion to the vessel wall

_____ potential is calculated using the Goldman Equation

Diffusion potential for an ion across a membrane depends on _____, permeability and concentrations of ions
