Enlist the five factors that usually effect or influence the diffusion of substances in the body.
Define membrane attack complex (MAC)
Dr Renko studied diffusion of tracer molecules to study paracellular diffusion across an epithelial monolayer of Caco-2 cells. The tracers were fluorescently labelled dextran molecules of different molecular weight. She is screening various drugs to determine whether they affect the cells in any way. Which drugs are most likely to change paracellular diffusion?
a.) Drugs that modify microvilli are the most likely to change paracellular diffusion
b.) Drugs that modify gap junctions are the most likely to change paracellular diffusion
c.) Drugs that modify with aquaporins are the most likely to change paracellular diffusion
d.) Drugs that modify tight junctions are the most likely to change paracellular diffusion

- Interpret the effect of hyperkalemia with reference to Goldman’s equation. a) What happens to rate of K+ diffusion at the MRP equilibrium with elevated extracellular [K+] (and unchanged intracellular [K+])?b) Since this diffusion rate determines the “permeability” of the cell to that K+ ion, what happens to PK+ as a result of this elevated extracellular K+? (Hint- it HAS changed.)c) Since PK+ has changed, and PNa+ is unchanged, what happens to the MRP as a result of this change in PK+? Explain with specific reference to Goldman’s equation but there is no need to cite or calculate any specific numbers, just generalize the result.arrow_forwardTransport of biomolecules to tissues takes place through capillary walls by both convection and diffusion. Consider an endothelium in which the gaps between the cells are characterized by the following dimensions: L=1 µm long, h=200 nm high, and W=10 nm in width (the last dimension is the distance between the two cells). The fluid is at 37degC and has the same properties as physiologic saline. Let the average pressure in the capillary be 45 mm Hg and let the pressure in the tissue be 0 mm Hg (ignore osmotic effects). Consider a small solute that has a diffusion coefficient of 1x10-5 cm2/s. Does this solute pass across the endothelium by diffusion or is it primarily carried by flow?arrow_forwardHPLC requires a pump to move the mobile phase through the stationary phase.

- Which of the following happens if the concentration of potassium in the extracellular fluid increases too much?A) Potassium would be taken up by the oligodendrocytes, so no net change in signaaaling would result. B) No signaling could occur. C) The Neuron would become hyperexcitable D) The sodium pumps would immediately fix the situation, so no net change in signaling would result.arrow_forwardA. Assumed that the primary contributor to the absorbance of the samplewas due to the hemoglobins. Calculate how much red light the water in the sample absorbed.Explain whether or not ignoring water was a reasonable assumption. (use image down below to solve) B. There are several membrane-bound organelles in cells (e.g. nuclei, mitochondria,endoplasmic reticulum) that can also have ion channels in their membranes.

The resting membrane potential is -70 mV because the inside of the cell accumulates ions with negative charges. a) True b) Falsearrow_forward
