The Ionic mechanism and propagation of action potentials. The action potential is the result of a large‚ sudden increase in sodium permeability of the membrane. The resulting rush of sodium ions into the membrane and accumulation of positive charge on its inner surface drives the potential towards Ena. This is followed by repolarisation‚ whereby there is a large increase in the membranes permeability to potassium ions‚ hence the membrane returns to Ek. Explanation of the (ionic) mechanisms underlying

different electrode sites. The amplitude and the shape of the signals depend upon the position of the electrodes (Brown‚ 1999) (Conover‚ 1992). The SA node produces the pacemaker potential and if this reaches the threshold then an action potential is generated. There are five stages involved during cardiac action potentials‚ during these stages there is a flow of ions through

the slower rate of movement.1 2.3. The aim of this investigation is to evaluate the process of Osmosis and Diffusion on different concentrations of sodium chloride on a de-shelled chicken egg over a period of 24 hours. 2.4. My hypothesis relating to this investigation is that the de-shelled eggs in different sodium chloride solutions will absorb the water through the process of osmosis which will cause the eggs to increase both their weight and size. 2.5. The outcome

1. a. The action potential changes the membrane potential from -70 mV (resting) to +30 mV and back again to the resting membrane potential. b. This results from a change in membrane permeability first to Na then to K due to the opening of what type of ion channels? Voltage gated channels 2. a. Where is the density of voltage-gated Na+ channels the greatest? Axon hillock b. What areas of the neuron generate signals that open these voltage-gated channels? Dendrites and the cell body c.

Sodium is a mineral that is present only in small quantities in most natural foods‚ but salt is added‚ often in large amounts‚ in food processing and by cooks to enhance flavor. Sodium is the predominant ion in extra cellular fluid. Sodium (Na) is the predominant cation in extra cellular fluid and its concentration is under tight homeostatic control. Excess dietary sodium is excreted in the urine. The kidney very efficiently reabsorbs the mineral when intakes are low or losses are excessive. Sodium
