Describe the surgical anatomy of the aortic valve. - correct answer 3-4cm2 normal valve area between LV and Ao Consists of 3 cusps suspended in the Sinuses of Valsalva The coronary ostia in each sinus give their name to the aortic leaflet (left, right, and non- coronary cusps respectively) Describe aortic valve regurgitation/insufficiency. - correct answer May result from diseases of the valve leaflet or dilation of the aortic root. Abnormal regurgitation of blood from the Ao i...

Direction of phospholipid movement in flippases? correct answer: Outer to inner leaflet Moves PE (neutral) and PS (-1) Direction of phospholipid movement in floppases? correct answer: Inner to outer leaflet Function of Scramblase correct answer: Increases membrane SYMMETRY Moves phospholipids down their conc gradient Result of adding crosslinkers into cell membrane for FRAP correct answer: Slows down diffusion of phospholipids; slower recovery rate Entropy of lipids [?] when ...

Functions of biological membranes correct answer: - barrier (import/export) -compartmentalization of essential molecules (incrs. efficiency) - cell signaling-mediated by pr & lipids (receptors) - modulate cell-cell recognition (glycoproteins & glycolipids) What's responsible for membrane formation correct answer: decrease in ionic interactions w/ h2o (HYDROPHOBIC EFFECT) -h20X tails aggregate to hide from h2o (lots of n-c interactions) -polar heads interact w/ h2o Decreases membrane ...
