Foreword In the course of three months - our staff will guide you through the secrets of Me- - dical Biophysics You will attend Lectures and Practicals according to timetable (your questions e.g. how to get credit, substitution in the case of illness, etc. are discussed with teachers during 1st Practical sessions ) For Instructions to organization of study and its content ask following teachers: Prof. Jakuš- head, Prof. Stransky- vicehead Asist.Prof. Poliaček, Fellow Ing. Knocikova

Medical Biophysics. Biophysics of a Cell. Transport membrane mechanisms. Resting membrane potential. LECTURE 1 JánJakuš (www.jfmed.uniba.sk/index.php?id=3649) Martin 2008
Medical Biophysics is an interdisciplinary subject of medical scien-ces,explaining basic problems of a human body at a level of atoms, molecules, cells, tissues, organs answers physical problems that appear in biology, chemistry, anatomy, physiology... explains effects of radiation, giving rules and recommendations for their use and safety explains and creates new methods and devices for diagnosis and treatment of human diseases
HUMAN CELL Definition: Cell is a basic anatomical and functional unit of the body with total number of 60.000 bilions and size from 4-120 µm (10-6 m). Number of cells create tissues(206 bones ,600 muscles, nerves ),and organs Typical signs of living cell: own meta-bolism, excitability, reproduction Composition: surface membrane, cytoplasm,organelles(for details see our animations on Practical Sessions or Biology)
Surface Membrane (SM) Intracellular SM-covers subcellular structures (e.g.Nucleus, Golgi complex, mitochondria) Plasmatic SM - covers the surface of each cell Functions:semipermeability,division, protec-tion, integrative roles, transport of ions, source of enzymes, storage of electric charges , etc. Composition: SM is Phospholipid bilayer- 45%Hydrophilic heads(phosphates soluble in water) Hydrophobic tails(hydrocarbon fatty acids insoluble in water)+Proteins bilayer (periphe-ral, integral)- 55% , +sugar + cholesterol Heads are + electrically charged and directed to membrane exterior, tails are _ charged oriented to membrane interior
Transport Membrane Mechanisms are responsible for movement of water and solutes across the cell membrane are of vital importance for cell metabo-lism, for production of resting and action membrane potentials Types: PASSIVE - it does not need deli-very of free energy. (Simple and Facilita-ted Diffusion, Osmosis, Filtration). ACTIVE - free energy from ATP is vital (Na-K pump, Ca-pump, H-pump, exo-endo, - and phagocytosis)
Simple Diffusion is a kind of passive membrane transport of H20, solutes, or gases( O2,CO2) from the space with higher concentration toward the space with lower one (along the concentration gra-dient), untill an equilibrium is established.Total volume of solution does not change. Rate of diffusion:Fick Law: J = -d . conc.grad.[d- koeficient of diffusion] Generally: diffusion depends -linearlyon conc. gradient, solubility of matter, ambient tempera-ture - nonlinearlyon a size of particles Types of diffusion: Simple, Facilitated, Throu-gh the protein channel
Facilitated Diffusion is a passive transport mechanism of bigger molecules (aminoacids),along a concentration gradient, when substance binds to a protein carrier thecarrier is protein placed within the membrane and undergoes a process of conformation (a change of its che-mistry) afterbindingand conformation,the carrier shifts and finally releases substance on an opposite site of a membrane
Diffusion through the protein (ion selective) channels is a passive transport of ions Na+, K+, Ca2+, Cl- ,or low molecular soluble sub-stances through the protein channels within the membrane, along the concen-tration gradient Protein channels are 1.“voltage“gated - they are open or closed (gating) due to a membrane electricity,or 2.„ligand“gated-when e.g. a hormone binds to a channel, thus opening it.
„Voltage“ and „ligand“ gated protein (ion selective) channels
Filtration is a passive transport of water and small particles from a space with higher hyd-rostatic pressure to a space with lower one power that drives Filtration is Pressure gradient of a hydrostatic pressure(not a concentration gradient!) examples: filtration and resorption in capillary loop or in kidneys
Osmosis is kind of passive transport through the semipermeable cell membrane, when only water moves from a space with lower concentration (lower osmotic pressure) to a space with higher conc. (higher osmotic pressure), till to equilibrium.Total volume of solution changes. (Van Hoff´s Law) normal osmolarity300 mOsm/l-isotonic solution (e.g. 0.9 % NaC,or 5% of glucose) Below- hypotonic solution Above- hypertonic solution example: Osmotic fragility of RBC (see practicals )
