Nervous
Term
Tissue f(x)
Definition
Protective

Term
Lipid bilayer
Definition
prevents the movement of charged particles across the plasma membrane. O2, CO2 pass freely.
Term
Membrance transport methods
Definition
Passive diffusion (high to low conc)
Facilitated Diffusion (req protein carrieer)
Active Transport (not gradient dep, requires energy)
Bulk Transport (endo/exocytosis)
Term
What comprises bulk transport
Definition
Endocytosis - taking up extracel vesicles
Exo - releasing intracel vesicles
Pinocytosis - taking in small amounts of extracel fluid
