What includes phagocytosis pinocytosis and a receptor mediated form?

Endocytosis includes phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor-mediated endocytosis. Phagocytosis is the process by which cells engulf large particles or pathogens, pinocytosis is the engulfing of fluids or small particles, and receptor-mediated endocytosis involves the uptake of specific molecules bound to receptors on the cell surface.


What do pacinian corpuscles detect?

They are mechanoreceptors that detect pressure, and are found in the skin and also in joints and tendons. Naked nerve endings lie in the centre of the corpuscle surrounded by concentric layers of connective tissue separated by viscous gel (looks a little bit like an onion!).Mechanical stimuli are converted into electrical impulses as follows:Transduction occurs - the production of a small receptor potential of about 1mV across the receptor membrane when pressure is applied.The receptor potential is produced by deformation of the receptor membrane, which interferes with ion channels embedded in the membrane and causes leaks, allowing an influx of sodium ions.A generator potential is produced and an impulse is generated at the first node of ranvier. Electrical impulses are transmitted along the neurone.The presence of gel-filled lamellae in the Pacinian corpuscles provides a mechanical filter of the stimulus. If pressure is applied rapidly the membrane of the corpuscle is deformed for a few milliseconds until the gel flows and the membrane resumes its normal shape. If pressure is applied slowly the gel flows away from the stimulus so the membrane is not deformed, and no receptor potential is generated. The greater the pressure applied to the corpuscle, the greater the receptor potential. Once the pressure reaches a critical size (te threshold) an action potential is triggered.


Which of the following processes allows cells to concentrate material that is present only in very small amounts in the extracellular fluid?

Receptor-mediated endocytosis.It is the mechanism that allows cells to concentrate material that is present only in very small amounts into the extracellular fluid.


Why was it called a bonsai charge?

A bonsai charge is a military tactic named after the bonsai tree, which is small but resilient. It refers to a small-scale, often suicidal attack where a small group of soldiers launches a surprise assault against a larger enemy force. The term is used to describe the strategy's similarity to a bonsai tree, as it involves a focused and intense attack from a seemingly insignificant force.


What is the small change in the charge across a neuron's membrane called?

The small change in the charge across a neuron's membrane is known as the action potential. It is a brief electrical impulse that travels along the neuron's membrane, allowing for the transmission of signals between neurons.

Why do quartz crystals rotate over my hand?

Quartz crystals exhibit piezoelectric properties, which means they generate an electric charge when pressure is applied. When you rub or rotate a quartz crystal over your hand, this pressure causes the crystal to create a small electric charge, leading to a rotational movement due to the interaction between the electric charge and the molecules in your hand.

How do you charge freon in a 2002 Chevrolet impalla?

Charged on the low side service port. If you connect a small can of Freon to the high side with the system on, the can may explode from the high pressure introduced into it.....
