Neurophysiology of Nerve Impulses
EXERCISE 3: Neurophysiology of Nerve Impulses
|ACTIVITY 1: The Resting Membrane Potential |Answers |
|The nervous system contains two general types of cells: neuroglia cells and |C- Neurons |
|nerves. | |
|cell bodies. | |
|neurons. | |
|nephrons. | |
|The resting membrane potential of the neuron in this lab under the control conditions was _______ |0 |
|mV. | |
|True or False: For most neurons, the concentration of Na+ and K+ ions inside and outside the cell|True |
|are the primary factors that determine the resting membrane potential. | |
|Explain why increasing the extracellular K+ causes the membrane potential to change to a less |Increasing the extracellular K+ causes the membrane potential to|
|negative value.
