QUESTIONS. Answer the question in the space provided for each question.
1. In the PHYSIO-EX 9.0 Activity 1, the simulation showed you how the resting membrane potential depends on the concentration of K+ and Na+ in the ECF. Some data were generated while measuring the resting membrane potential using a microelectrode that was positions alternatively in the ECF and the ICF. You recorded the data in Chart 1 on page 35. Use the data to produce a Graph that will clearly show how the effects ion the resting membrane potential when the ECF concentration of K+ is high and when the ECF concentration of Na+ is low. Hint: take in consideration that independent variable is not a numeric but a category. (4 points)
The following questions will require you to do some Web search.
2. Lidocaine is a commonly used anesthetic. What is the molecular composition of Lidocaine. (type of macromolecule and formula) (2 points).
3. List three specific usages of lidocaine (1 points each = 3 points)
