Study Notes
Cell Junctions
- Desmosomes, tight junctions, and gap junctions are types of cell junctions that join cells to form tissues.
- Anchoring junctions, occluding junctions, and communicating junctions are also classes of cell junctions.
Tissue Types
- The four main tissue types found in the human body are epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissues.
Membrane Transport
- Concentration gradient, temperature, and surface area are determinants of membrane transport.
- Carrier proteins, ATP, and membrane permeability also influence membrane transport.
Protein-Mediated Transport
- Passive transport, facilitated diffusion, and active transport are types of protein-mediated transport.
- Carrier proteins, channel proteins, and pumps are involved in protein-mediated transport.
Vesicular Transport
- Exocytosis, endocytosis, and transcytosis are types of vesicular transport.
- Vesicles, such as clathrin-coated vesicles, caveolae, and lysosomes, are involved in vesicular transport.
Test your knowledge on cell junctions, tissue types, and membrane transport in human physiology. Learn about the different ways cells join to form tissues, the four tissue types in the body, and the various factors that affect membrane transport.
