Summary

These notes cover cytology, a branch of biology. The document details different types of transport mechanisms across cell membranes, including active and passive transport. Further explored are the details behind osmosis and facilitated diffusion. Key topics such as hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic solutions are also covered along with gap junctions and intercellular transport.

# CYTOLOGY - Part 3 ## **Part 1** * **SEEK YOUR DREAM** AND YOU WILL REACH IT * **BIOLOGY** * BIO * LIFE * **CYTOLOGY - Part 3** * MOHAMMED WALID ELĊANAI * **More information call us** * 0919072560 * **Online BIOLOGY** * FOR PRE-MEDICAL STUDENT * **المصدر / الكتاب الجامعي** * **محمد الغناي** * **@Biology_2003** * **شرح بايو اعداد طب** ## **Part 2** ### **TRANSPORT MECHANISM** * **The way in which materials transferred cross the cell** * There are 2 basic types of transport: * **Passive**: which no energy * **Active**: that's generally employ ATP ### **ACTIVE transport** * **K NA PUMP** * **ENDOCYTOSIS** * **PHAGOCYTOSIS** * **PINOCYTOSIS** * **EXOCYTOSIS** ### **PASSIVE transport** * **SIMPLE DIFFUSION** * **OSMOSIS** * **FACILLITATED diffusion** ### **1 - PASSIVE TRANSPORT** * **SIMPLE DIFFUSION** * **IS** the movement of substance from **high** concentration to area **lower concentration**. * Play important role in spreading the **exchange** of materials between the cell and in the surrounding medium, and these materials are: * Oxygen * Carbon di oxide &substances that dissolve in lipids ### **2-OSMOSIS** * Is the net movement of water from a **high water concentrate** to **low water concentrate** through a partially permeable membrane. ## **Part 3** ### **TYPES OF SOLUTION** * **Hypertonic solution**: The solution surrounding the cell have higher solute concentration. * **Hypotonic solution**: the solution surrounding a cell have lower solute concentration. * **Isotonic solution**: The solution surrounding a cell have same solute concentration. | Solution | Solution concentration | Direction of osmosis | |---|---|---| | Hypotonic | Lower than cell | Into cell | | Hypertonic | Higher than cell | Out of cell | | Isotonic | Same as cell | No net movement| ### **3 - FACILITED DIFFUSION** * Molecules are carried from **high** to **low** concentration assisted by **protein carrier**. ### **2 - Active transport** * Its mechanism require the use of the **cell energy**, usually in form of ATP. * A substance must move into the cell against its concentration gradient. #### **A. sodium potassium pump**: (Na, K-ATPase) * Its function in the active transport of sodium & potassium across the cell membrane against concentration gradients. * **For each ATP** the pump break down, Two potassium ions are transported into the cell and 3 sodium ions out of the cell. ## **Part 4** ### **B -Bulk transport (Vesicle Mediated transport)** ### **1 - PHAGOCYTOSIS** * is the process by which a cell a engulfs a solid particles * Such as macromolecules, parts of cell or whole cell. * In phagocytosis a portion of membrane invaginates & flow around the particle, eventually pinching off & leaving the particle entirely enclosed by plasma membrane. ### **2 - Pinocytosis** * is the process by which a cell absorbs fluids outside the cell & brings them inside. * Its similar to phagocytosis but smaller scale. * The plasma membrane invaginates & pinches off, producing a small envelope of fluid from outside the cell. * Pincytosis imports substances that the cell needs from extracellular fluid. ### **3 - Exocytosis** * M1 a process by which materials transported out of the cell. ### **EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX OF ANIMAL CELL** * Most animals cells release materials into the extracellular matrix. * The primary components of these materials are proteins & most abundant protein is collagen. * Collagen fibers are interwoven with carbohydrate containing proteins called proteoglycans. * All these materials called extracellular matrix. * ECM hold cells together to form tissue & allow the cells to communicate with each others. ## **Part 5** ### **INTERCELLULAR JUNCTIONS** * Cells can communicate with each others via direct contact, reffered to as intercellular junctions. * The junctions between plant cells called plasmodesmata. * The junctions between animal cells include tight junctions, gap junction & desmosomes. ### **Gap junction** * Present in the animal cells, are channels between adjacent cells that allows for the transport of ions, nutrients & other substances. * Gap junction are particularly important in cardiac muscle (the electrical signals for the muscle to contract is passed through gap junction).
