Transport across the cell membrane 24
Membrane transport Passage of substances across the cell membrane Into the cell: influx and Out the cell: efflux The passage can be through: Lipidbilayer Proteins Cells differ in their permeability: Variation in : Composition and arrangement 25
Transport across the cell membrane 26 Nutrients Ions and Water are through With out proteins Gas Lipid soluble substances Alcohol Protein Fig 11: Transportation across the cell membrane
Types of m embrane transport Passive transport No energy required Movement down concentration gradient The forces are concentration & electrical gradients Substances follow their concentration gradient Concentration gradient reduced /eliminated Filtration , simple or carrier mediated diffusion and osmosis 27
Types of the passive transport... 1 - Simple diffusion Through lipid bilayer or leaky channels- not gated ion channels Lipid soluble, gas and alcohol (via lipid bilayer) Vitamin A, D, E and K Lipid insoluble ( via water filled channels) Ions , water No interaction b/n channel and transported substance 28
Transport across the cell membrane 29 Fig 12: Types of Transport
Properties of channels Water field proteins Mostly, allow substances to move down (passive channels- leaky ion channels ) Dissipate potential difference Opened and closed by gate ( gated channels ) Active channels Prolonged activation desensitizes the channels Select influx and efflux substances Connected with receptors E.g ion channels Important for excitable cells 30
Gated Ion channels con’t 31 Voltage gated ( charge difference sensors) Ligand or Chemical gated (Ach, GABA, glutamate) Light gated (photo sensitive channels) Mechanical gated ( stretched sensitive channels)
Bases of selectivity Channels are specific and selective The selection is based on Size (size of Na + channel: 0.3 x 0.5 nm) The bond nature of the proteins The charge Hydration/ unhydration of ions Na + channel (-ve Q) allows unhydrated sodium to pass But hydrated potassium still pass through its channel The selectivity is less than the carriers Not have binding site 32 Unhydrated ion Hydrated ion ion ion H 2
Factors affecting the diffusion rate: rate of transport Cell membrane thickness Molecular Size Temperature The gradient (electrical and concentration: opposite forces) Net influx, F = k p A (C -C i ) The net efflux, F= k p A (C i -C ) k p (Permeability constant) The lipid solubility Membrane surface area Permeability 33 1 2
Passive transport… 2- Facilitated diffusion It is carrier (permease ) mediated Solute binds to the carrier (conformational changes) Rotate, open The substance is released into the low concentration side Substances attached from high concentration region 34
Facilitated diffusion… 35 The unique feature of facilitated diffusion 1. Specificity 2. Competition 3. Inhibition 4. Saturation 5. Transport maximum Fig 13: Facilitated diffusion
Facilitated Diffusion… Differ from simple diffusion mainly Transport maximum(V max ) achieved Diffusion rate elevated until transport maximum Proteins are saturated Diffusion rate constant after V max 36 Fig 14: Transport maximum(v max ) Rate of transportation increased as the concentration of the substance getting high
Passive transport: osmosis and osmotic pressure 3- Osmosis Net movement of water from The region of high water molecules to low water molecules Low solute to the high solute concentration Hypotonic to hypertonic solution Equalizes water concentration across the membrane This movement is there if there is Water and solute concentration difference 37
Solution tonicity Tonicity The osmotic activity of body fluid Ability of a solution affecting cell volume The solution: Isotonic, hypotonic and h ypertonic against cytosol Affects the osmotic pressure of the solution 38
A cell in different solution 39 Solution concentration compared with concentration of intracellular fluid What will be the cell volume if you add different solution into the ECF? isotonic solution Hypertonic solution Hypotonic solution Fig 15: a cell in different solutions
Osmol, osmolarity, osmolality Osmol N umber of osmotically active particles of solute in a solution Osmolarity : solute pr kg of solution and is the concentration of the solution with the unit of mOsmol/L of solution The total osmolarity of the body is 280mOsm/L of solution And one milliossmole has an osmotic pressure of 19.3mmHg Osmolality : solute per kg of water 40
Atomic and molecular weight Atomic weight of elements Molecular weight of compound Table 1: atomic and molecular weight 41
Osmosis and osmotic pressure Osmotic pressure Force applied by solution to oppose the net movement of water Affected by osmole and the tonicity of solution : One mole of glucose= 1 osmole/L One mole of NaCl = 2 osmole/L One mole of HCl = 2 osmole/ L One mole of Na 2 SO 4 = 3 osmole/L The more the osmotic pressure The less movement of water into other compartment Size of the molecule in the solution not affect osmotic pressure One mole of glucose (C 6 h 12 O 6 ) ? One mole of NaCl ? 42
Osmosis and osmotic pressure... Determination of osmotic pressure of a solution Osmolarity (mOsmol/L) = concentration x number of dissociable particules E.g a 150 mmol/L ( conc ) solution of NaCl has an osmolarity of 300 mOsm /L Then the osmotic pressure = 5,795mmHg 43
Relation between osmol and osmotic pressure A solution with 1 miliosmol /L opposes the net movement of water by 19.3mmHg force The osmolarity of the body fluid is 280-300 miliosmol/L Then the calculated body fluid osmotic pressure = 19.3 x 300 = 5790mmHg But the actual total body fluid osmotic pressure is 5500mmHg (contributed by ions, proteins….) The reduction is due to some ions attract to each other like Na + and Cl - in that their full osmotic effect is reduced 44
Molarity and osmotic pressure of a solution Calculate the osmolarity and the osmotic pressure of a solution of 0.9 % NaCl Assume the membrane is impermeable to other solutes 0.9% NaCl solution means the solution contains 0.9gm of NaCl in 100ml of the solution or 9gm/L Osmolarity = concentration x osmol (9gm/L)/(58.5 gm/mole)= 0.1538mole/L, then for two osmole = 2x 0.1538mole/L = 0.308 osmole/L Osmotic pressure 1mosmle , the osmotic pressure required is 19.3 mmHg Then for 0.308 osmole/L = 308mosmole/L = 308 mosmole /L X 19.3 mmHg = 5, 944.4mmHg 45
Determination of fluid shift and osmolarities of a solutions after an other solution infused Assume : 2L of hypertonic solution with 3.0% of NaCl infused into ECF of a 70kg patient whose initial plasma osmolarity is 280mosmole/L. Then determine Osmolarity of body after infusion Intra and extracellular fluid volumes 46
Steep one: Determine the initial conditions before solution given 47 Table 2: Initial condition of subject
3.0% Nacl solution means , solution contain 3mg of NaCl in 100ml or 30gm/L Osmol / conc = 30gm/L/58.5gm/mole = 0.513mol/L x 2 =1.023mol/L For 2 L= 2x 1.023mol/L = 2.051mol/L = 2051mosmol/L Thus the total ECF osmole = 3,920 + 2,051mosmo/L = 5,971mosmol/L 48 Steep two: determination of milliosmoles added
49 Step 3: Determine the concentration in each L of solution Table 3: Conditions after infusion before equilibrium
Concentration= total miliosmoles in the body/ total volume 13,814/44 = 313.9mosml/L The fluid compartments will have the same concentration, 313.9mosml/L ICF volume = Total miliosmoles in ICF/ its concentration = 7840/313.9 = 24.89L ECF volume = total milimoles in ECF/ its concentration = 5971/313.9 = 19.02L 50 Steep 4: determination of volume & concentration after osmotic equilibrium is developed
The result (after infusion and equilibrium) 51 Table 4: conditions after equilibrium
